Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX-30), one of my favorite House members, discussed the legal aspects of the Tom Homan bribery case.
She eviscerates the MAGA Republican excuse that poor little Tommy was some sort of victim of entrapment.
I'd love to see a reenactment of Homan getting a Cava bag full of $50,000 in cash. 😅
But for now, there've been some great Homan bribery cartoons.
Demand that the Department of Justice release footage of the Tom Homan $50,000 Cava bag bribe grab!
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX-30) appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Republican House members are hiding under their beds from angry constituents but Dems like Rep.Crockett have assumed a higher profile.
I won't spoil it by telling you what she and Jimmy said specifically, but Dementia Donald Trump, Apartheid Elon Musk, and Whiskey Pete Hegseth all were mentioned.
« She became a career prosecutor, while he became a career criminal – with 34 felonies, two impeachments, and one porn star to prove it. »
— Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX-30) comparing Kamala Harris with "Weird Donald" Trump in a speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday evening.
If you liked that excerpt, you'll love the entire speech.
« Let me tell you why nobody wants to talk to y’all behind closed doors. Because y'all lie. »
— Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX-30) making an observation about her Republican colleagues at the Hunter Biden hearings on Wednesday. Via ABC News.
Hunter Biden showed up at the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday. He's willing to testify publicly but Republicans want his testimony behind closed doors so they can make shit up.
The GOP majority wants to hold Hunter Biden in contempt for not falling into their trap. Despite his presence right in front of them they claim he's not complying with a subpoena. However a slew of House Republicans failed to comply with subpoenas by the House January 6th Committee in 2022. Hypocrisy is nothing new for the MAGA GOP.
Republicans have little interest in governance or lawmaking. To them, holding office is just an opportunity to conduct culture wars and try to install their orange dictator back in the White House. They have completely abandoned any semblance of adherence to the rule of law.
The Lincoln Project put together a vid of Democrats calling out Republicans on the House Oversight Committee.
« As a former director of emergency management, I know a disaster when I see one. »
— Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL-23), former director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, commenting at the shambolic House impeachment inquiry chaired by MAGA Rep. James Comer (R-KY-01).
Among other things, a Republican witness, Prof. Jonathan Turley, had just testified that there was no evidence of impeachable offenses.
Jared Moskowitz was on a roll on Thursday. Watch it for the quote, stay for the white board.
But wait, there's more!
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX-30) weighed in by decrying the total lack of evidence against Joe Biden while pointing out the hypocrisy of Republicans who have ignored Donald Trump's non-stop crime spree.
House Republicans are hoping that their "revenge impeachment" will distract Americans from the upcoming Republican government shutdown this weekend. Instead, Thursday's hearing just reminded everybody what a fiasco this year of GOP House control has been.
EDIT: Rep. Jasmine Crockett's party affiliation has been corrected from the original post.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) is one of the rising stars in the Democratic Party. Although she is only a freshman lawmaker, she has made a deep impression on the US House.
She visited Stephen Colbert and spoke about a famous exchange she had with Marjorie Taylor Greene.
She is national co-chair for Harris-Walz campaign and has been speaking around the US in that capacity.
Though she has also been encouraging support for Democratic House candidates. Democrats are tantalizingly close to retaking control of the House.
I'll write more about the House in the next few days. But for now, consider that if Dems flip House seats in just two states in districts where Joe Biden got a majority in 2020, Dems would win back the House.
Here are those seats with links to Democratic challengers.
CA-13 – Adam Gray CA-22 – Rudy Salas CA-27 – George Whitesides CA-40 – Joe Kerr CA-45 – Derek Tran NY-01 – John Avlon NY-04 – Laura Gillen NY-17 – Mondaire Jones NY-19 – Josh Riley NY-22 – John Mannion
It's good to remind people that there's more than just the presidential election on the ballot. And even if you're in a deep blue or deep red state there are contests where you can make a difference.
