    Why is this here? Crockett is one of the loudest voices on the left in Texas, and along with James Talarico the closest thing to rising stars we have here.

    Crockett has come under fire from Republican members of Congress because of her often terse criticisms of President Donald Trump. Earlier this month, she called the president an “old white nepo baby” and a bully.

      I’m guessing it’s a hopium post. Anticipating that the Texas Republicans will be regretting their redistricting move because it will cost them a more important senate seat.
