Far-Left ‘Squad’ Dem Jasmine Crockett Could Be Out of Congress

U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) testified Friday that she is at serious risk of losing her seat if the Texas legislature finalizes its proposed congressional map—a move that now appears imminent.

Democratic lawmakers, activists, and other opponents of the plan voiced their concerns in Austin as a legislative committee voted to advance the new map. The proposal, which would eliminate five Democrat-leaning districts, passed along party lines and is expected to come before the full legislature as early as Tuesday.

Crockett, who represents a solidly Democratic district in the Houston area, testified that the proposed map contains several “red flags” that could jeopardize her chances of re-election.

“I know that this legislature did ask us as members of Congress to confirm our addresses. I don’t know how many of us actually still reside in the districts that we represent. I do not currently reside in my district based upon the plan that has been drawn,” she said. “Which is another red flag, in addition to courts consistently looking at how many people have been moved.”

“They are supposed to take that into consideration, and these are some of the things that the court will look at when they’re trying to determine whether or not there were problems with creating the maps,” said Crockett. “It’s really awful.”

The proposed map from Texas Republicans would create three new reliably Republican districts and shift two others into solid GOP territory. This would be achieved by eliminating one Democratic-leaning seat in each of the state’s major metro areas—Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Houston. The move comes as the Justice Department has warned that the current congressional map in Texas may violate the Constitution.

The plan primarily operates by diluting majority-Hispanic districts—a tactic that could be accelerated and broadened if the U.S. Supreme Court decides to ban intentionally race-based congressional districts. The court has signaled interest in such a shift and announced Friday that it will hear arguments in a new Voting Rights Act case that could significantly reshape redistricting nationwide.

I SLEPT UNDER A BRIDGE — BUT MY DOG KEPT ME WARM, ALIVE, AND HUMAN People think rock bottom is when you lose your home, your job, or your family. They’re wrong. For me, it was the day I realized no one had said my name in two weeks. Not once. Except for him—Bixby. My dog. He didn’t speak it, of course, but every morning he’d look at me with those big, patient eyes, tail wagging slow and steady, like I was still worth something. Like I was still his person. We’d already been through hell together—eviction, shelters turning us away because of “no pets,” nights curled up under an old tarp while the wind cut through us. And still, he never strayed. Never stopped pressing himself against me in the cold like he could keep the world away just by staying close. Once, after two days without food, someone tossed a sausage biscuit from a car window. I split it right down the middle, but Bixby just nudged his half toward me with his nose. His eyes said, You first. I can wait. That moment cracked something in me. I started carrying a cardboard sign—not to beg, but to tell people who we were. Because strangers saw the dirt, the frayed hoodie, the unshaven face. They didn’t see him. They didn’t see how he kept me alive in more ways than one. And then last week—just as I was packing up to move spots—a woman in scrubs stopped in front of us. She looked right at me, right at Bixby… and said five words that changed everything. (continue reading in the 1st comment)
