Month: November 2025

The US House Oversight Committee releases its footage from interviews with Biden Aides. 

Biden was so bad that Aides brought in Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg from Hollywood to help limit the damage. 

We all know Biden was out to lunch.  We reported on it repeatedly.  Biden was lost.  This happened over and over.  It was embarrassing.  It was elderly abuse.

Jeffrey Katzenberg from Dreamworks was Biden’s campaign chair.

Now we know that Katzenberg and Spielberg were brought in to manage the Biden production and apparently prevent him from appearing so lost, confused, and senile.

The House Oversight Committee released its report and clips from interviews yesterday. Below are some clips from interviews with Biden Aides.

HOUSE OVERSIGHT RELEASES BOMBSHELL FOOTAGE: BIDEN AIDES ADMIT TO HEALTH COVERUP

The House Oversight Committee has released exclusive extended footage of Biden aides admitting how they propped up the 46th president as he declined.

Makeup.

Teleprompters at small fundraisers.

Limiting events.

Stage-managing appearances.

Reducing his workload.

Avoiding interviews.

Even recruiting Hollywood directors Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg to help with the State of the Union.

They controlled everything, including who could see him.

This wasn’t a presidency. It was a production.

The 91-page committee report found Biden’s “inner circle” took steps to “meticulously stage-manage” his public appearances, lighten his private workload, and block lawmakers from talking to him directly.

Three key aides took the Fifth Amendment when questioned, including White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor, who refused to answer: “Were you ever told to lie about the president’s health?”

Former Chief of Staff Jeff Zients admitted under oath he didn’t even know who operated the autopen that signed approximately 92% of Biden’s documents.

Trump has now declared all autopen-signed executive actions “NULL AND VOID” and threatened Biden with perjury charges if he claims he authorized them.

The same people who called you a conspiracy theorist for questioning Biden’s fitness were stage-managing his every movement.

They knew. They all knew.

And they lied to your face for four years.

This is why President Trump announced yesterday that he was terminating all documents signed by Biden’s autopen.

A second Afghan national who was flown into the United States under Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome program in 2021 has been arrested in connection with a terror plot after threatening on TikTok to detonate a bomb in Texas. 

This comes just days after 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who entered the country under the same program in 2021, ambushed two West Virginia National Guardsmen in Washington, DC, killing one and critically injuring the other.

Lakanwal’s permission to be in the US expired in September 2025, and he has been living in the United States illegally ever since.

Now,  Mohammad Dawood Alokozay has been arrested for posting a video of himself online, threatening to use a homemade bomb in an attack around Fort Worth, Texas.

He was admitted as a lawful permanent resident on September 7, 2022, following Biden’s failed withdrawal from Afghanistan during the summer of 2021.

Alokozay has been charged with making a terroristic threat at the state level.

Kayleigh McEnany reported on the story for Fox:

McEnany: You won’t believe this. DHS is confirming that an Afghan national was arrested Tuesday after posting a video of himself on Tiktok indicating he was building a bomb with an intended target of the Fort Worth area. Mohammed Dawood. Alokazai is charged at the state level with making a terroristic threat, according to DHS.

Listen to this. He came to the United States as part of Operation Allies Welcome. So, here you have it. This happened Tuesday— Texas Department of Public Safety. This is a second Afghan national, second one this week, Operation Allies Welcome.

He had a terror plot, we know it comes the same week that that deranged individual, that alleged assassin, took out two of our heroic National Guard, came here on the same program, Operation Allies Welcome, a program that we were assured time and time again by Mayorkas, by Jen Psaki, by Joe Biden himself, was safe and secure.

But here we have a second data point in one week that it was not safe, it was not secure, and we’ve got to look very hard at this program as President Trump is vowing to make change.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, 20-year-old Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom passed away on Thanksgiving Day, following the horrific attack by Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal on Wednesday.

On Wednesday night, President Trump addressed the nation, calling for the reexamination of “every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden” and “all necessary measures to ensure the removal of any alien from any country who does not belong here or add benefit to our country.”

WATCH:

US Citizenship and Immigration Services has since placed a hold on processing for all Afghan nationals who are attempting to immigrate to the United States.

U.S. government-funded labs are actively breeding colonies of exotic Hyalomma ticks imported from Africa to study Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), a brutal tick-borne virus with a 30% mortality rate that’s never been detected in America.

This high-stakes research, aimed at developing mRNA vaccines and analyzing transmission in livestock, is raising red flags among experts who warn of catastrophic lab leaks that could unleash the disease on U.S. soil, devastating agriculture and public health.

The program involves multiple facilities, including the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service in Manhattan, Kansas (tied to the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, formerly on Plum Island), UC Davis in California, and Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, according to research from the White Coat Waste project, first reported by The Highwire.

These sites are establishing tick colonies to experiment on CCHF transmission in cattle, sheep, and goats, assessing risks for the virus establishing itself here based on climate and ecology.

“The White Coat Waste Project uncovered 10 existing USDA contracts to work on mRNA vaccines, including one that is studying Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), a highly pathogenic tick-borne disease with a 10-40% case fatality rate,” The Highwire reports. “The research grant is given to the Agricultural Research Service in Manhattan, Kansas, in combination with researchers at the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF), which was formerly on Plum Island, where researchers were studying Lyme disease near Lyme, Connecticut, where the first outbreak occurred.”

CCHF, first identified in Crimea in 1944, causes severe symptoms and can spread from ticks to animals or humans, and even person-to-person.

There’s no widely licensed vaccine, only a dubious Soviet-era one from 1970.

Funding flows from USDA contracts for mRNA vaccine development, including 10 ongoing deals specifically targeting CCHF.

EcoHealth Alliance, infamous for its role in COVID origins research, snagged a $3.7 million Department of Defense grant from 2020-2024 to study CCHF as part of “combating weapons of mass destruction.”

The Highwire notes, “WCWP was the organization that first uncovered that EcoHealth Alliance was involved in gain-of-function research with coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, approved by NIAID head Dr. Anthony Fauci, which the FBI and CIA both state is the most likely source of the COVID-19 virus that sparked a worldwide pandemic. WCWP celebrated the announcement that the CDC will be closing all monkey studies by the end of the year.”

Another USDA contract, running through March 2026, supports the core research.

Critics are blasting this as reckless madness.

Kris Newby, a Stanford science writer and producer of the Lyme disease documentary “Under Our Skin,” slammed the importation of infected ticks to livestock hubs, telling The Highwire, “It seems as if many infected ticks are being shipped to Texas Tech, Kansas, and UC Davis, needlessly putting these centers for livestock at risk for a horrible disease that is not a threat at this time.”

She highlighted past lab accidents, like tick bites causing severe illness and unintended disease transmissions, noting ticks are “super hard to control—especially if you have an influx of new people who aren’t experienced with them.”

Justin Goodman, Senior Vice President for Advocacy and Public Policy at the White Coat Waste Project (WCWP), called it a “recipe for disaster,” telling the outlet, “Recklessly importing deadly exotic diseases like African swine flu and other hemorrhagic fevers to the U.S.—where they have never been found—for dangerous animal experiments that can leak and cause outbreaks in animals and people is a recipe for disaster.”

This tick program ties into broader concerns over mRNA tech in food.

Nicole Shanahan: “We are now on the precipice of being forced to inject our cattle with the mRNA vaccine. So just like we talk about medical freedom for humans and the desire to not have mandates telling us what we have to put in our bodies, food freedom is an extension of that.… pic.twitter.com/VG1qBLTAEC

Nicole Shanahan, RFK Jr.’s former running mate and host of the “Back to the People” podcast, warned on Real America’s Voice’s War Room, “We are now on the precipice of being forced to inject our cattle with the mRNA vaccine. So just like we talk about medical freedom for humans and the desire to not have mandates telling us what we have to put in our bodies, food freedom is an extension of that. We’d also like to be fully informed. I mean, let’s talk about the Nuremberg trials, right? The idea that humans have a right to be fully informed about what they’re putting into their bodies. Food freedom is a really big part of that.”

With historical lab leaks fresh in mind, this research screams government overreach.

In a statement to the Gateway Pundit, Goodman added:

“Recklessly importing deadly exotic diseases like African swine flu and other hemmorhagic fevers to the U.S.—where they have never been found—for dangerous animal experiments that can leak and cause outbreaks in animals and people is a recipe for disaster straight out of Dr. Fauci’s cookbook.

Earlier this year, a White Coat Waste investigation prompted Trump’s Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins to cancel a $1 million Biden-era bird flu gain-of-function collaboration between the USDA and Wuhan-linked Chinese experimenters.

Now, Secretary Rollins should ensure taxpayers aren’t forced to fund risky and cruel animal experiments for livestock mRNA vaccines. If the multi-billion-dollar ag and pharma industries want to develop these products— that they will ultimately patent and profit from—they can pay for it themselves.”

Texas Republican Congressman Troy E. Nehls revealed on Saturday that he will not seek re-election after the current Congress, choosing instead to return home and prioritize his family.

Nehls is endorsing his twin brother, Trevor, to fill his seat.

Nehls, a staunch Trump ally and vocal critic of the radical left’s agenda, shared the news on X after consulting with his wife and daughters over Thanksgiving.

“After more than 30 years in law enforcement serving and protecting my community as a police officer, constable, Fort Bend County Sheriff, an Army veteran, and six years representing this district in Congress, I have made the decision, after conversations with my beautiful bride and my girls over the Thanksgiving holiday, to focus on my family and return home after this Congress,” Nehls’ statement began.

Nehl’s continued, “Before making this decision, I called President Trump personally to let him know of my plans. President Trump has always been a strong ally for our district and a true friend, and I wanted him to hear it from me first.”

“Serving this country in the military, serving our community in law enforcement, and serving this district in Congress has been the honor of my life. Thank you for your trust, your friendship, and your prayers,” the statement concluded.

After more than 30 years in law enforcement serving and protecting my community as a police officer, constable, Fort Bend County Sheriff, an Army veteran, and six years representing this district in Congress, I have made the decision, after conversations with my beautiful bride…

— Congressman Troy E. Nehls (@RepTroyNehls) November 29, 2025

Nehls elaborated in a separate post on Facebook, endorsing his brother:

Our district deserves a representative who already knows the people, the values, and the challenges we face. I’m proud to say that person is my twin brother, Trever Nehls, who shares the same commitment to defending our constitution, securing our borders, and putting America First. After my call with President Trump, I am confident Trever will earn President Trump’s endorsement.

I am endorsing my brother, Trever, to succeed me in Congress because I trust him, I believe in him, and I know he will fight every single day for the people of this district. He won’t need on-the-job training; he’s ready now.

Serving this country in the military, serving our community in law enforcement, and serving this district in Congress has been the honor of my life. Thank you for your trust, your friendship, and your prayers.

Nehls, who serves on the House Judiciary Committee, Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and the Select Subcommittee on the January 6th Attack, has been a fierce advocate for law and order, border security, and exposing what he calls the “Big Fraud” in elections.

According to his Facebook page, Trever Nehls has served in law enforcement in Fort Bend County for 30 years.

His books, The Big Fraud and Borderless by Design, have become must-reads for conservatives battling election integrity issues and open-border policies. Over his tenure, Nehls has fought tirelessly against Biden’s disastrous immigration failures and stood firm with Trump during the witch hunts.

Nehls’ seat in TX-22 is a solidly red district encompassing parts of Houston’s suburbs.

This retirement adds to the growing list of GOP departures in a Congress that’s seen intense battles over everything from impeachments to spending bills.

Most recently, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she will be leaving Congress in January.

Greene said in a video announcement, “I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms.”

Oregon’s Democrat Attorney General Dan Rayfield has issued a brazen warning to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Federal agents operating in Oregon could be arrested and prosecuted if the state believes “excessive force” is being used while protecting the Portland ICE facility or detaining illegal immigrants.

The letter, sent on November 24, 2025, and co-signed by several liberal county prosecutors, formally puts federal law enforcement under investigation by the Oregon Department of Justice.

In it, Rayfield threatens that any federal officer deemed to have used force “beyond the reasonable scope of their duties” could face criminal prosecution under state law.

That means local left-wing officials in Portland are now openly vowing to prosecute federal Border Patrol agents, ICE officers, and DHS personnel for doing their jobs, namely, detaining illegal immigrants, responding to violent agitators at federal buildings, and protecting federal property.

According to the letter, Oregon officials claim that agents have acted unlawfully with “tear gas, pepper balls, nonlethal munitions, and takedowns,” including incidents where federal officers reportedly struck protesters and even other law enforcement personnel while defending the Portland ICE facility.

Rather than focusing on violent extremism, illegal immigration spikes, or assaults on federal officers, Rayfield’s office is targeting FEDS, accusing them of creating “volatile situations” even when confronting armed suspects or undocumented individuals resisting arrest.

The letter cited incidents where agents allegedly confronted teenagers at gunpoint in Hillsboro and broke a car window to detain a 17-year-old in McMinnville, describing these enforcement actions as “highly concerning.”

However, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin provided a statement saying that U.S. Border Patrol agents in Yamhill County were followed and obstructed by two cars on Friday.

The statement affirmed that the two drivers, Isaias Eduardo Soto Elias, 20, and a 17-year-old, were U.S. citizens. McLaughlin said the two were arrested for impeding federal law enforcement officers KATU.

Authorities are trying to charge Christian with “interference or obstruction of investigation,” his brother said.

The Oregon Attorney General’s office went even further, issuing a list of demands to DHS, including:

1. Cease and desist all “unlawful and unconstitutional actions” in Oregon.
2. Ensure “coordination with local law enforcement” at the ICE facility.
3. Investigate all accusations of “excessive force.”
4. Cooperate with state-level investigations and prosecutions.

Just hours before Coloradans were set to carve the Thanksgiving turkey, the state’s radical Democrat machine suffered a tragic blow. 

State Senator Faith Winter (D-Broomfield), a key architect of the state’s extreme Green New Deal policies and anti-car “transit” legislation, was killed in a multi-vehicle crash on I-25 Wednesday night.

The wreck occurred just before 6 p.m. in the northbound lanes of I-25 south of Denver.

Authorities say the accident involved five vehicles; three others were injured, but Winter was the only fatality, according to CPR News.

Winter’s identity as the fatality was confirmed by her family late Wednesday night.

“It’s with the deepest sadness that the family of Senator Faith Winter confirms she passed away this evening,” according to her family.

“Faith was tremendous leader of our state, a committed friend, a dedicated partner and a loving mother. Faith led with empathy and love before all else. The family appreciates the outpouring of love for Faith and asks for privacy at this time.”

Leaders of the Colorado Senate Democratic Caucus also issued the following statement:

“We are devastated to learn of the passing of our colleague and friend, Senator Faith Winter. Today, our caucus grieves the loss of a dedicated public servant whose commitment to the people of Colorado never wavered.

Senator Winter served our state with compassion and an unwavering belief in the power of public service to improve lives. Whether fighting for legislation to support mothers and families, championing groundbreaking transit policy, or simply supporting constituents in moments of need, she brought thoughtfulness, innovation, and humility to every aspect of her work.

Senator Winter was a colleague whose presence brought warmth and an invaluable perspective to the Capitol. We will miss her leadership, her partnership, and her deep commitment to a brighter Colorado.

Our hearts are with Senator Winter’s family and friends as they navigate this unimaginable loss. We ask that the public respect their privacy during this difficult time.”

Winter was known for her history of personal struggles, having faced a 2024 ethics investigation after an incident where she appeared intoxicated at a community hearing and later sought treatment for alcoholism.

The shooter who left one West Virginia National Guard member dead and another fighting for life, 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, is expected to survive his own injuries.

While Lakanwal will likely survive for now, Attorney General Pam Bondi has vowed that her prosecutors will do everything in their power to make sure he is given the death penalty.

“I think the guy’s going to live. Nobody’s going to be able to say anything and he’s going to stand trial,” a law enforcement official told The New York Post.

“I know that he underwent surgery the night it happened,” the official added.

The attack unfolded on Wednesday, Thanksgiving eve, just blocks from the White House, when Lakanwal allegedly opened fire on unarmed Guardsmen Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, who were on routine patrol.

A third guardsman intervened, shooting and wounding Lakanwal, who was hospitalized in serious condition before his arrest.

Beckstrom succumbed to her injuries on Thanksgiving, while Wolfe remains in critical condition as of Friday.

Resettled in the U.S. in September 2021 under Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome (OAW), a program that cost taxpayers over $14 billion, Lakanwal had worked with the CIA and Afghan forces in Kandahar before being granted asylum in April. He drove from his residence in Bellingham, Washington, to carry out the targeted attack.

Brother of DC National Guard Shooter Was Elite CIA Platoon Leader

President Trump has already responded by pausing migration from high-risk countries and vowing to end such programs, calling OAW a disaster funded by hardworking Americans. As author and political commentator Mike Cernovich put it, this is yet another example of taxpayers footing the bill for their own peril.

President Trump has not ruled out deporting the family of Lakanwal, which includes at least a brother, wife, and his five children.

As Gateway Pundit previously reported, the shooter’s brother served as a platoon leader in the same elite CIA-backed “Zero Unit” as his murderous sibling. He also lives in the United States, but has not been publicly identified at this time.

Brother of DC National Guard Shooter Was Elite CIA Platoon Leader

Speaking to reporters on Thanksgiving, Trump revealed his team is actively reviewing the option, stating, “Well, we’re looking at that right now,” when asked about expelling Lakanwal’s wife and five children from the U.S.

The FBI is investigating the motive, but officials have not yet classified it as terrorism, despite the suspect’s background and the targeted nature of the attack.

President Trump, on the other hand, wasted no time blasting the incident as a “terrorist attack” and pinning the blame squarely on Biden’s failed immigration policies.

In a late-night Thanksgiving post on Truth Social, Trump announced Beckstrom’s death and Wolfe’s critical status, vowing to “permanently pause migration from all Third World countries” like Afghanistan.

Trump additionally promised to end federal benefits for noncitizens, denaturalize threats, and deport those “non-compatible with Western Civilization.”

Ali Baba has resigned, but there are still 40 robbers left.

A mere days ago, Andriy Yermak was Volodymyr Zelensky’s right-hand man and his chief negotiator in the current peace process.

But now, he has fallen into disgrace and resigned.

We have been tracking Yermak’s work and scandals in TGP since November 2023:

A sitting Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksandr Dubinsky was slapped with a treason investigation ‘for allegedly spreading misinformation about the political leadership’.

He was expelled from Zelensky’s ‘Servant of the People party’, accused of being ‘a member of a criminal organization financed by Russia’s military intelligence’.

Dubinsky wrote on his social media:

“I am publicly addressing journalist Tucker Carlson, who will not be afraid to cover the topic of political persecution of the only politician and former journalist in Ukraine, who openly spoke about corruption of the country’s senior officials and the facts of theft of US financial assistance through the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, in which deputies of the Servant of the People Party and officials of the Office of the President are involved.

Now the real president of Ukraine named Yermak is in the United States trying to convince the American government that there is no corruption in Ukraine, and to blame the theft committed by him and those from his circle on the scheming of ‘Kremlin agents’.

[…] By joining our forces, we will be able to reveal to the world the truth about the gang of swindlers who captured Ukraine. Reveal the Ugly Truth that Yermak and Zelensky and their associates are trying to hide.”

We continued to follow the authoritarian moves by the grey eminence:

In July: KIEV REGIME INFIGHTING: Zelensky’s ‘Grey Eminence’ Yermak Is on a Power Grab, Trying To Replace Top Ukrainian Spy Budanov – White House Brands Him ‘A Liability’ Linked to Hunter Biden; and Zelensky Stripped Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Agencies of Power Because They Were Investigating Officials Linked to His Grey Eminence Andriy Yermak: REPORT.

Finally, as the ‘Golden Toilet’ corruption scandal in the energy sector started to unfold, we reported that Zelensky Under Heavy Pressure in His Own Party To Fire His Gray Eminence Andriy Yermak as Corruption Scandal Intensifies: REPORT.

About a week ago, Tucker Carlson denounced that the Wall Street Journal was withholding a dossier proving Yermak corruption.

But Zelensky’s chief of staff proceeded unabated, going public to state that Ukraine would not give up its territories in exchange for peace.

“Today, no sane person will sign a document ceding territory. As long as Zelensky is president, no one should expect us to give up territory”, he said.

But the NABU-SAPO raids came, and Yermak resigned one day before flying to Miami for ‘peace talks’ with US’ Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

Ukrainian officials tell Axios ‘there is a lot of uncertainty right now’.

The future for Yermak seems uncertain, but he has sent an unexpected text message to NYP:

“The former top adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday told The Post he is headed to the frontlines — hours after he submitted his resignation from the position in the wake of a raid on his home by Kyiv’s national anti-corruption bureau.

‘I’m going to the front and am prepared for any reprisals’, Andriy Yermak told The Post in an impassioned text message Friday night. ‘I am an honest and decent person’.”

In a classic case of putting personal offense above party priorities, Indiana State Senator Mike Bohacek has declared war on Trump-backed redistricting efforts, all because President Donald Trump’s use of the word “retarded” in a fiery immigration rant struck a nerve.

Bohacek, whose daughter has Down syndrome, took to Facebook to announce he’d vote “NO” on any redistricting push until Trump proves his “policies and behavior deserve a congressional majority.”

His offense over the word could help to derail a golden opportunity for Republicans to solidify their House majority ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Bohacek’s outrage is in response to Trump’s late-night Thanksgiving post on Truth Social, where he blasted Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a Democrat, as “seriously retarded” amid a broader takedown of Biden-era immigration policies.

Trump highlighted issues like Somali migrant influx in Minnesota and a recent deadly shooting by an Afghan migrant near the White House, vowing “reverse migration” to fix the mess.

The Indiana politician responded in a post on Facebook, writing:

Many of you have asked my position on redistricting. I have been an unapologetic advocate for people with intellectual disabilities since the birth of my second daughter. Those of you that don’t know me or my family might not know that my daughter has Down Syndrome. This is not the first time our president has used these insulting and derogatory references and his choices of words have consequences. I will be voting NO on redistricting, perhaps he can use the next 10 months to convince voters that his policies and behavior deserve a congressional majority.

While Trump’s blunt language may have upset some people, Bohacek’s tantrum is potentially sabotaging Indiana’s chance to redraw congressional maps in a way that favors the party he claims to be part of.

Naturally, the comments on his post were flooded with Democrats supporting his use of a personal grievance to screw over his fellow Republicans.

Mediaite reports:

His break comes at a tense moment for Indiana Republicans, who are weighing whether to redraw the state’s congressional map just four years after completing the once-a-decade process. Trump has been urging GOP-led states to reengineer districts ahead of the 2026 midterms, hoping to secure a House majority that his advisers warn could slip away.

The pressure has grown unusually direct. House Speaker Mike Johnson is set to hold a Saturday conference call with Indiana House Republicans after insisting publicly he had no role in state-level efforts. Johnson has already phoned Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray, whose caucus remains divided on whether to proceed.

Even with national figures leaning in, the Senate appears short of the votes needed, multiple Republicans familiar with the count told Politico Friday.

WATCH: “Utterly Trash”: Jasmine Crockett Calls for EXPANDING the Supreme Court in UNHINGED Rant

Rep. Jasmine Crockett used a town hall this week with Menefee for Congress to deliver one of the most aggressive attacks on the Supreme Court in recent memory, calling the institution “utterly trash” and demanding that Democrats expand it. 

The event took place in Texas and was intended to cover redistricting and election issues, but Crockett quickly turned it into a pitch for court-packing legislation. 

She said she already has “a number of bills” prepared and complained that she only needs more Democrats to help her pass them. 

Her remarks confirmed a trend that has been building inside the Democrat Party for years and placed her alongside figures such as Adam Schiff, Elizabeth Warren, and other prominent Democrats who have embraced court expansion as a routine talking point.

Crockett told attendees that the Court needs “reform ASAP,” arguing that expansion is necessary because the current Court does not consistently deliver outcomes aligned with Democrat policy goals. 

She did not offer a constitutional argument but instead focused on the Court’s refusal to act in ways she supports. 

Her comments at the local event showed how normalized the idea of court-packing has become within the Democrat grassroots. 

What began as a fringe proposal after the confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett has now become a mainstream position among national Democrats, and Crockett’s remarks demonstrated the party’s growing comfort with reshaping the judiciary whenever it loses key cases.

She then shifted into a long and confusing retelling of a 2021 Texas redistricting lawsuit, accusing state officials of racial motives while repeatedly asserting that their strategy was designed to dilute minority voting power. 

Crockett emphasized her personal role in the case, describing courtroom exchanges and claiming that state attorneys underestimated her intelligence because they “watched too much Fox News.” 

Her explanation relied on numerical claims that did not hold together, including the idea that 39% of Texans would end up selecting more than 70% of congressional seats. 

She concluded that the maps were racist based on that math alone, ignoring the broader legal and demographic context.

Crockett also argued that shifting deadlines, map changes, and filing uncertainty amount to voter suppression, claiming that confusion itself harms minority voters. 

She blamed Republicans, state judges, and the Supreme Court for a lengthy litigation timeline, insisting that the Court’s reluctance to intervene immediately is evidence of partisan intent. 

Her argument ended with a warning that without immediate action the fight could continue for years.

The theme of the town hall was unmistakable. 

Crockett did not argue for an impartial Supreme Court. She argued for a Supreme Court that supports Democrat policy preferences, and when it does not, she labels it “trash” and demands expansion. 

By aligning herself with Democrats like Schiff and Warren, Crockett made clear that court-packing is no longer a fringe position but a central goal for her party.
