"Trillions for Defense, Pennies for the People": Rep. Jasmine Crockett Calls Out the Cuts - CNN The Source [View all]
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett joins The Source with Kaitlan Collins on CNN to respond to Donald Trump’s proposed budget, which slashes billions from education, housing, health care, and climate programs—while boosting Pentagon spending to a staggering $1 trillion. Crockett calls out the silence of Republicans during oversight markups, warns how these cuts will impact Americans across the political spectrum, and questions who really benefits—naming billionaire defense contractors like Elon Musk.
She also addresses Democratic leadership, reaffirms her belief in people-powered politics, and confirms she’s ready to lead the House Oversight Committee and hold this administration accountable. - Aired on 05/03/2025.
