Jasmine Crockett is drawing attention after invoking a decades-old line from Tupac Shakur to criticise government priorities.
Pointing to reports that the Pentagon is seeking another $200 billion in funding, she questioned why there always seems to be money for war, but not for housing, healthcare or feeding struggling Americans.
It is a message that is resonating with many who feel basic needs at home are too often pushed aside in favour of military spending abroad.Jasmine Crockett is drawing attention after invoking a decades-old line from Tupac Shakur to criticise government priorities.

Jeff Daniels, known for his unfiltered and principled roles like Will McAvoy in The Newsroom, has criticised Donald Trump’s character in a series of recent interviews.
While promoting new projects and reflecting on American leadership, Daniels said the presidency should represent the “best of us,” not the “worst,” arguing the current political climate has drifted away from basic decency toward what he described as a “bullying” style of leadership he views as fundamentally un-American.Jeff Daniels, known for his unfiltered and principled roles like Will McAvoy in The Newsroom, has criticised Donald Trump’s character in a series of recent interviews.

Donald Trump is facing pushback after claiming in a rambling speech that the head of Sharpie personally sent him customized pens.
Trump said, “the head of Sharpie… great guy… he sent me these beautiful pens, customized, really special, nobody else has them,” adding that they were “the best pens you can get, believe me.”
Sharpie directly contradicted the claim, stating: “that exchange never happened.”
The conflicting accounts have fueled criticism, with many pointing to the gap between Trump’s detailed description and the company’s flat denial.Donald Trump is facing pushback after claiming in a rambling speech that the head of Sharpie personally sent him customized pens.

A retired lawyer has taken legal action to stop the U.S. Mint from producing a Trump coin. James Rickher, 56, of Portland, filed a federal lawsuit on March 24 after seeing news reports about the 24-karat gold coin, which is set for release on July 4, 2026, for America’s 250th anniversary.
Rickher argues the coin breaks an 1866 federal law that prohibits living people from appearing on U.S. currency. The law was created after Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase placed his own image on money during the Civil War, prompting Congress to ban the practice. The only exception came in 1926, when Calvin Coolidge appeared on coins, a move so controversial most of them were later pulled from circulation.
The Trump administration says the Treasury Secretary has the authority to approve designs, but Rickher says the statute cannot be ignored. "This is not about personal opinion. It is against the law," he said. He prepared and filed the lawsuit over a single weekend. A judge will hear the case soon, and if the request is denied, the coin’s production will begin immediately.A retired lawyer has taken legal action to stop the U.S. Mint from producing a Trump coin.
