Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) fumed many of her fellow Democratic politicians “do not care” about helping Black people — and that is a big reason why Black Americans “have not advanced” as far as they should have by 2026. Crockett went off during a panel discussion at the Essence Festival in New Orleans on the Fourth of July. She slammed the entire Republican party for being “racist,” before saying her own party is not much better. “It is not enough just to be that you’re not the racist Republican but that is what has happened with Black folk, they understood that we couldn’t be a party that actually want to lynch us everyday,” Crockett ranted. She continued, “So we sit up there and we say that we’re just voting for mitigation, but it’s actually time for us to vote for uplift. And unfortunately so many of these candidates do not care about uplifting us. This is why we have not advanced at the level that we should have at this point.” Crockett went on by saying attendees should go to local, state, and federal government buildings like the House of Representatives and confront lawmakers who aren’t doing enough to support Black Americans. “Get in their faces and make them tell you, ‘Yes, I was elected to represent you, but I don’t care about you.’ That is what you make them do,” Crockett said. “You show up, get in their faces, and if they decide they’re not going to represent you, you let them know you will work hard to make sure they lose their seats.” The crowd let out a decent cheer after that. Her appearance at the festival comes after Crockett was beat by Texas State Rep. James Talarico (D) in the Democratic Senate primary in Texas. Crockett told the crowd on Saturday that she lost because of the color of her skin, not her policies or appeal to voters. She said that wasn’t a big shock in the USA. “It was racist. It was a racist race. It is what it is, right?” Crockett said. “But we live in America as ya’ll are celebrating 250. We know what this country is.” Watch above.

- Netanyahu Says He Has ‘Doubts’ Trump Talks Can ‘Stop Iran’s Nuclear Prog...Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joined CNN anchor Dana Bash on Tuesday to discuss the latest power dynamics in the Middle East and President Donald Trump’s ongoing trip to Turkey. Bash pressed Netanyahu on whether or not he believes Trump can get Iran to give up its nuclear program through diplomacy, and Netanyahu conceded that he has “doubts.” Netanyahu warned Trump that Turkey is not a friend of the U.S. before Bash turned the conversation to Iran and the ongoing negotiations to end the conflict there. “I want to talk specifically about Iran for a moment, sir,” Bash said. “President Trump said the memorandum of understanding with Iran is probably an unconditional surrender. But I—the specific question is, under this MOU, the United States terminates all types of sanctions against Iran. Is this a failure for your country, for Israel?” she asked. Netanyahu replied, “Look, I think it’s too early to say what will happen. The president believes that he can stop Iran’s nuclear program, which is a nuclear program to create atomic bombs. He believes that he can do this through negotiations and various pressures.” Bash interjected, “Do you?” “Look, I have my doubts, but I think he should be given the chance. And he’s trying to do—to achieve that. And we—it remains to be seen,” Netanyahu continued, adding: But I have said, and, by the way, I think President Trump has said too, that deal or no deal, I certainly will not let Iran have nuclear weapons, and that is also the president’s position. Bash followed up, “In 2015, I was there. I remember that you came to the U.S. and spoke to Congress over the objection of President Obama because of your opposition to that Iran deal, the JCPOA. You specifically mentioned the deal’s sanction relief in that speech. What’s different about now?” Netanyahu replied, “I think Iran—look, our combined action, the U.S. and Israeli action today, destroyed—I think the lowest estimates are $400 billion—of the regime’s infrastructure, and some say as much as three-quarters of a trillion dollars or even a trillion dollars.” “So I think what is being discussed now are very small numbers. Admittedly, any number is a high number as far—as far as countries like Israel and others see it, but it is not—it’s not going to allow Iran to reestablish itself,” continued the Israeli leader, adding: The question remains: at… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- Marjorie Taylor Greene Clashes With ‘View’ Hosts Over AIPAC Until Joy Behar ...Marjorie Taylor Greene and The View’s Alyssa Farah Griffin sparred over the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) Tuesday morning — a confrontation that was ultimately cut short when co-host Joy Behar seemed to pretend the show needed to go to break. Griffin asked Greene about a statement she shared via X in which she appeared to link AIPAC to Graham Platner. Greene originally wrote in part, “I do find it interesting that Platner is hated by AIPAC and rape accusations show up years later from a woman who dated him. AIPAC hated Massie too and they rolled out fake AI ads showing lies about him in a sex trio with AOC [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] and Ilhan Omar.” In response, Griffin ceded that criticizing AIPAC is “perfectly legitimate public discourse,” but noted Greene’s commentary veered into “antisemitic tropes about Jews controlling things, about Jews and money and power and politics.” “What do you even mean by that?” Griffin asked. Greene had a quick response. “Well, what I mean by that is it’s unfortunate that rich donors that put Israel first are playing in American politics,” she answered. After Griffin pointed out that donors to AIPAC are American, Greene interjected, “No, they care about Israel first. Israel is committing genocide … let me tell you, the future of this country is Americans are sick and tired of funding Israel’s genocidal wars that are killing children.” After Griffin insisted “millions of Americans” support Israel, Green replied, “I don’t support the government of Israel. I support people, and I support Americans, and I support our tax dollars being used for our purposes.” She then insisted AIPAC “took out” her “good friend” former Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who lost his primary in May to the Donald Trump-backed candidate Ed Gallrein. The pair went back and forth over the reason Massie lost, which prompted Behar to interject, “You know, we’re out of time.” As the studio audience laughed, Greene insisted the hosts “should have had me for the whole show.” Her answer prompted a terse “No” from Behar.

- Trump Admin Drops Plans to Put Harriet Tubman on $20 Bill
Jacquelyn Martin/AP Photo The US Treasury Department has dropped plans to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Spectrum News Monday that the department had ended a decade-old plan to put the Underground Railroad icon on the currency. “We are not, at present,” Bessent told the outlet, when asked if the plans were still moving forward. Bessent gave no explanation for the decision to abandon the plan. The move comes weeks after reports emerged that President Donald Trump could become the first living person with their face on U.S. currency since 1866. The Washington Post reported in May on efforts to put Trump’s image on a $250 bill. Putting a living person’s image on currency was banned by law in 1866. Bessent addressed the issue of putting Trump’s face on American money while tanking plans to include the historic abolitionist’s face on the country’s currency. “The 250 requires an act of Congress, because you can’t have a living person [on U.S. currency], and it was to commit [sic] – for the 250th anniversary. For us to change an existing bill, whether it’s $1 through $100 takes many years in advance,” Bessent told Spectrum News. The plan to feature Tubman was first floated in 2016, under then-President Barack Obama‘s administration. The change would have replaced Founding Father Alexander Hamilton on the $20 bill. The original goal was to have Tubman’s image on the bill by 2020, but Trump pushed back the redesign during his first administration, prompting an outcry from one of Tubman’s descendants at the time. Ernestine Wyatt, a relation of Tubman, told CNN in 2019 that the then-decision to push the redesign to 2028 “smacks of racist rhetoric.” “I think it’s just a nice way of trying to say we don’t want this, we’re not going to have this, under any circumstances will we have this,” Wyatt said. “It’s just another delay and a diversion for what’s going on.” The Treasury Department did not immediately respond to Mediaite’s request for comment.The post Trump Admin Drops Plans to Put Harriet Tubman on $20 Bill first appeared on Mediaite.
