Rep. Jasmine Crockett Breaks Down the Math, the Mess, and the MAGA Lies - Rep. Jasmine Crockett
During a Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Jasmine Crockett doesn’t hold back as she lays out the brutal math behind Trump’s so-called “tough on crime” agenda. From cutting prison staff pay and union busting to handing out $44,000 ICE bonuses, Crockett exposes the hypocrisy and underfunding driving real harm in our prison system. She calls out attacks on trans people based on two surgeries, slams the defunding of rape prevention programs, and makes one thing clear: these policies aren’t just cruel — they’re stupid, and she’s got the receipts to prove it. - 05/06/2025.
