New Report Reveals Truth About Rep. Jasmine Crocket, She’s a ‘Diva’ Who Brutalizes Her Staff

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a rising Democratic voice known for her attacks on Donald Trump, is facing allegations from former staffers that she mistreats employees, avoids work, and demands VIP treatment at taxpayer expense.

Key Facts:

  • Multiple former aides told the New York Post that Crockett rarely shows up to her D.C. office and berates staff.
  • Allegations include demanding luxury rental cars like Escalades, requiring staff to open doors for her, and refusing to use personal vehicles for official duties.
  • Sources say she focuses on media appearances rather than district issues.
  • Past incidents include skipping ahead of disabled passengers in an airport line and dismissing concerns from gay staffers over derogatory language.
  • Staff turnover is reportedly high due to what sources describe as a toxic work environment.

The Rest of The Story:

Crockett, elected to represent Texas in 2023, has gained national attention for her fiery committee speeches and frequent televised criticism of Trump, calling him “a piece of s***” and an “enemy to the United States.” While this has boosted her profile online, former staffers paint a different picture of her off-camera conduct.

One ex-aide told the Post she often “lays around her apartment” instead of working from the Capitol, showing little interest in staff or local matters. Another source described her as “more focused on, ‘Get me on The View,’” than on serving constituents.

Staff say Crockett operates from a luxury office building rather than her official office, instructs aides to rent high-end SUVs for short trips, and insists on door service. These demands, they say, divert attention and resources from policy work.

The Post report also detailed past controversies, such as Crockett cutting in front of wheelchair-bound passengers to board a flight and brushing off staff complaints over her use of the term “butch” toward GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. One aide recalled her telling critics, “You’re stupid if you think so.”

Multiple former employees say the office culture leaves Black female staffers feeling disempowered, with confrontations sometimes ending in tears. In one instance, Crockett reportedly told a staffer, “Do you really want to be here? And if not, you can leave!”

15 Democrats Arrested For Election Fraud

In rural South Texas, prosecutors have brought forward one of the most significant vote-harvesting cases in recent state history. 

On May 1, 2025, a Frio County grand jury indicted six people, including multiple public officials, on felony election-fraud charges. The indictments, secured after a two-year investigation led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office, expose an organized ballot-harvesting operation that allegedly influenced multiple local races in a heavily Democrat region.

Among those charged were Frio County Judge Rochelle Camacho, who faces three counts of vote harvesting; former Frio County Elections Administrator Carlos Segura, charged with tampering with physical evidence; Pearsall City Council members Ramiro Trevino and Racheal Garza; Pearsall ISD Trustee Adriann Ramirez, who is Camacho’s sister; and Rosa Rodriguez, identified as an alleged ballot harvester. 

State investigators say the scheme targeted elderly residents and those voting by mail, with ballots collected in violation of Texas election law. Under Texas’s 2021 election-integrity reforms, compensated ballot collection carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

The arrests did not occur in isolation. In August 2024, Paxton’s Criminal Investigations Division executed search warrants in Frio, Bexar, and Atascosa counties, seizing evidence connected to what the Attorney General’s office described as an “illegal ballot-harvesting ring.” 

The warrants were the culmination of years of complaints from local residents who claimed political operatives were systematically collecting and manipulating mail-in ballots. Investigators believe the operation was linked to a political network that benefited multiple Democrat candidates in local races.

The investigation expanded in mid-2025. On June 30, 2025, a second grand jury returned indictments against nine additional individuals, bringing the total number of defendants to fifteen. Among the newly charged was former Texas House candidate Cecilia Castellano, a Democrat, as well as former Bexar County Democrat Party Chair Juan Manuel Medina. 

Other defendants include current and former city officials, school board members, and county commissioners across Frio County. The charges range from vote harvesting to tampering with government records, all tied to the same alleged coordinated ballot-collection network.

Court filings reviewed in the case describe how vote harvesters allegedly approached voters, particularly the elderly, under the pretext of offering assistance, then took possession of ballots before they were mailed. 

In some instances, investigators say, those involved exchanged cash or electronic payments via apps like Cash App to secure ballots or voter information. Under Texas law, offering or accepting compensation for ballot collection is a third-degree felony.

Teachers’ Union Chief Randi Weingarten Questioned Over Scandalous Spending Including $100,000 Limo Bill

On Thursday, the Education and Workforce Committee sent a letter to American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten demanding answers and accountability after details surfaced regarding the union chief’s excessive and potentially improper spending on luxury travel.

The letter, from Education and Workforce Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) and Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions Subcommittee Chairman Rick Allen (R-GA) demands details from Weingarten regarding public records that show that, since September of 2023, the partisan Democrat cheerleader spent $100,000 on private limousine services.

Walberg and Allen write, “The Committee has received reports describing first-class travel, family-related expenses, and large vendor payments that appear unrelated to legitimate representational activities.”

“If substantiated, these allegations reveal a troubling lack of accountability within AFT leadership. It is the Committee’s responsibility to conduct oversight to protect union members. As such, the Committee seeks to ascertain the truth of these allegations and whether the alleged conduct may warrant reform of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA).”

“The magnitude of recent AFT officer reimbursements raises questions about the adequacy of your current treasury oversight practices. AFT’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Form LM-2 shows that you received $42,105 in additional disbursements on top of your $457,769 gross salary (which, notably, is more than six times the average teacher salary of $72,030).”

Complaint alleges 32 scholarships at Florida State U. discriminate on race, gender

A civil rights complaint has been filed against Florida State University alleging 32 scholarships at the school discriminate based on race or gender.

“We didn’t expect to find such a large number of discriminatory scholarships at a major state university in the anti-woke Free State of Florida,” stated the Equal Protection Project, which recently filed the complaint.

For example, FSU scholarships that were flagged included wording such as “it is the preference … that the recipient be an African American/Black student” and “the preference … that the recipient be a female.”

The university’s Crossman Career Builders Scholarship states “it is the preference of the donor that the recipient be a female who is Black/African American, Hispanic, or a member of the Seminole Tribe.”

“Such word games cannot evade the civil rights laws and equal protection constitutional guarantee,” the complaint read.

The Office for Civil Rights is currently evaluating the case, according to the project.

The complaint alleges the scholarships violate Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, barring racial discrimination, Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments, barring gender-based discrimination, and the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause, which prohibits discriminatory legislation toward specific demographics.

‘No rational reason’: Court strikes government restriction on customers who want to visit home-based businesses

The Court of Appeals of Tennessee, located in Nashville, has struck down a municipal ordinance that limited the number of customers who could visit a home-based business.

It is invalid because it discriminated based on the type business it was.

According to a report from the Institute for Justice, which fought on behalf of record producer Lij Shaw and hairstylist Pat Raynor, Nashville’s rule allowed the two only six client visits a day at their businesses.

And then the city came up with “invasive and burdensome requirements.”

However, other businesses based in homes, such as short-term rentals, home daycares, historic homes and more, were allowed to have 12 or more clients daily, “free from additional requirements.”

“This kind of arbitrary favoritism has no place under the Tennessee Constitution,” explained Paul Avelar, a lawyer for the IJ. “Lij and Pat have a constitutional right to use their homes to earn an honest living. But Nashville treats their home-based businesses worse than other, privileged, home-based businesses for no real reason.”

The lawsuit stems from the city’s 2017 attacks on the two businesses, in which it shut them down.

Then came COVD, and the city allowed them to have six client visits daily.

Now a unanimous ruling from Judges Frank Clement, Andy Bennett, and Jeffrey Usman agreed with the claims that the city had not offered good reasons for favoring some home business over others.

The ruling said, “Metro has offered no rational reason for the difference in treatment that is relevant to the purpose of the law.”

The case already has been to the state Supreme Court, which rejected a lower court’s dismissal and reinstated it for further opinions at the lower court level.

At first, the lower court claimed the limits were “constitutional because they were rationally related to the city’s interests in preserving the residential nature of neighborhoods.”

The appeals ruling noted that the city changed its code during the time period that the lawsuit was pending. But throughout the proceedings the city exempted short-term rentals, home-based daycares, historic buildings and such.

The case ended up addressing the city’s irrational decision to distinguish between different types of home-related businesses.

“Plaintiffs argued that there was no rational reason that was relevant to the purpose of the law for distinguishing between their businesses and the Exempt Businesses. In support, Plaintiffs produced evidence that their businesses had no more of an impact on the residential character of neighborhoods than the Exempt Businesses,” the ruling said.

The opinion noted the city didn’t even try to dispute that.

Trump Torches ‘Disgusting Degenerate’ Nancy Pelosi and Her Shady Husband for Insider Trading

President Donald Trump unleashed a scorching takedown of “disgusting degenerate” Nancy Pelosi and her “interesting” husband Paul on Truth Social on Saturday evening.

In a post that’s already going viral, Trump pointed to the Pelosis outperforming every hedge fund genius on Wall Street in 2024.

“Crooked Nancy Pelosi, and her very ‘interesting’ husband, beat every Hedge Fund in 2024,” Trump’s post began. “In other words, these two very average ‘minds’ beat ALL of the Super Geniuses on Wall Street, thousands of them.”

Trump did not hold back, accusing the former House Speaker of abusing “inside information.”

“It’s all INSIDE iNFORMATION!” Trump wrote. “Is anybody looking into this??? She is a disgusting degenerate, who Impeached me twice, on NO GROUNDS, and LOST! How are you feeling now, Nancy???”

Paul Pelosi, a venture capitalist, achieved notable returns in his investment portfolio in 2024, reportedly exceeding 54%, which outperformed many professional hedge funds. This, of course, has raised questions and concerns about whether access to non-public information from his wife’s position in Congress played a role.

Recent trades include selling $24 million in Apple shares and $5 million in Nvidia in January 2025, followed by purchasing shares in Tempus AI, which rose nearly 50% shortly after. Another example is the sale of over $500,000 in Visa shares weeks before a Department of Justice antitrust lawsuit against the company was announced.

Nancy Pelosi’s net worth is estimated at over $240 million, with investments in companies like Alphabet, Amazon, and Palo Alto Networks.

Last month, the former Speaker exploded on CNN’s Jake Tapper when he pressed her about the insider trading allegations.

“Ridiculous!” she snapped, accusing Trump of “projecting” while conveniently ignoring her family’s suspiciously perfect timing. She went on to demand that she was there to discuss the 60th anniversary of Medicaid.

Repeat Loser Beto O’Rourke Tells Texas Crowd Democrats Will Do Whatever it Takes to Regain Power: ‘F**k the Rules’ 

Beto O’Rourke spoke to a crowd in Texas this weekend and made it clear that Democrats will do whatever it takes to regain power, saying ‘f**k the rules.’

He claimed that Dems will redistrict blue states in response to what Texas is doing. Apparently, no one has told him that Democrats have nothing left to gerrymander because they have been doing this for years.

O’Rourke also said that when Democrats regain power, they will immediately grant amnesty to illegals. That’s rather telling, isn’t it?

CBS News covered the event:

Beto O’Rourke’s redistricting rally draws crowd in Fort Worth as Texas legal fight escalates

The fight over Texas redistricting is escalating – and Fort Worth became the latest flashpoint Saturday afternoon.

More than 200 people packed the Ridglea Theater for a rally led by former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke.

The event focused on the legal and political fallout surrounding Democratic lawmakers who fled the state to block a Republican-backed redistricting plan. The Texas House failed to reach a quorum again on Friday, preventing lawmakers from voting on the new congressional maps, as GOP officials float ousting the absent Democrats from office or seeking civil arrests.

O’Rourke addressed the crowd and responded to a lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. A state judge on Friday barred O’Rourke and his political action committee from financially supporting the Democratic legislators who left Texas.

“He thinks we’re going to take it right here,” O’Rourke said. “But he doesn’t understand – in Texas, our knees do not bend.”

Corrupt Democrat Rep. Caught Taking Bribes

In 2013, U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar and his wife took a seemingly routine trip to Turkey and Azerbaijan, funded by an obscure Houston-based nonprofit. 

What followed, federal prosecutors now allege, was a years-long scheme involving foreign influence, money laundering, and one of the most serious indictments ever brought against a sitting member of Congress.

According to a federal indictment unsealed last week, Cuellar and his wife accepted nearly $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities: Azerbaijan’s state-owned oil company, SOCAR, and Mexico’s Banco Azteca. 

Prosecutors allege that Cuellar, a Democrat from Laredo, Texas, used his office to advance the interests of these entities in exchange for payments disguised as consulting fees to shell companies owned by his wife. 

The indictment accuses Cuellar of acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government—a rare charge previously brought against Sen. Bob Menendez in 2023 for working on behalf of Egypt.

The Cuellars allegedly funneled money through front companies, spent it on luxury items such as a $12,000 gown and restaurant bills, and concealed the transactions through intermediaries. 

One of those intermediaries, Florencio “Lencho” Rendon, a longtime associate of Cuellar, has already pleaded guilty to money laundering. So has Colin Strother, Cuellar’s former chief of staff and campaign manager, who prosecutors say funneled monthly payments to Cuellar’s wife.

Prosecutors claim the payments began in 2014, shortly after Cuellar’s trip to Azerbaijan. In text messages and emails, Cuellar allegedly communicated directly with Elin Suleymanov, then Azerbaijan’s ambassador to the U.S., discussing contracts, payments, and legislation favorable to the country.

Kamala Harris Colluded With Planned Parenthood to Cover Up Aborted Baby Part Sales

Five newly-released undercover videos show Texas-based Planned Parenthood abortionists describing how they abort late-term babies alive and then dismember them to avoid the federal partial-birth abortion law and then sell the baby body parts for profit. Liberty Counsel’s client Sandra Merritt, and David Daleiden, founder of the Center for Medical Progress, filmed the videos in 2015 during an undercover investigation of Planned Parenthood. Then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris investigated and charged Merritt and Daleiden while the videos were blocked from public release by a court order. The videos have now been released after a congressional subpoena cleared the way for public viewing.

In March 2024, a U.S. Congressional panel held an independent hearing for the purpose of “investigating the black market of baby organ harvesting” through abortion. During the hearing, independent investigator David Daleiden presented graphic videos and testimony on how the “industrial-scale abortion business” brokers lucrative deals for fetal organs taken from live babies by dismembering viable babies in utero to “skirt” partial-birth abortion laws. On July 30, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who chaired the panel, released the full versions of the subpoenaed videos.

The videos reveal two conversations between undercover reporters and Planned Parenthood officials at the 2015 National Abortion Federation commercial trade show. In one video, Dr. Ann Schutt-Aine, the Chief Medical Officer of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, explained how to keep baby body parts intact while avoiding violating partial birth abortion (PBA) law, which prohibits killing a baby if any part of its body below the navel is outside the mother’s body.

Former Washington Post ‘Fact Checker’ Can Only Stammer When He’s Confronted About Paper’s Bias

Former Washington Post “fact checker” Glenn Kessler found himself on the receiving end of some overdue accountability this week.

In a revealing interview on Mark Halperin’s “What’s Next” podcast on Thursday, Kessler, who worked with the Washington Post for 27 years, squirmed and stammered his way through a series of straightforward questions about liberal media bias.

He was oblivious to such bias.

Halperin, to his great credit, asked the kinds of questions conservative Americans have been asking for more than a generation.

“My theory would be [that] … you attract a lot of liberal readers because your reporters are hostile to Republicans more than Democrats,” Halperin said, before asking his guest how he interpreted the theory.

“Yes, I completely reject it,” Kessler replied, before stumbling through a rambling defense of The Washington Post’s editorial tone.

“Uh, I think, um, uh — that … I mean, how to … how — how to —  how to — I’m — how to phrase this?” he said.

No line more accurately summed up the cadence of the interview than that one.

Kessler laughably claimed the Washington Post was just as hard on former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton as it has been on President Donald Trump.
