Jasmine Crockett proclaims she hates the Heritage Foundation ‘with everything in my body'
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, said that she hates The Heritage Foundation 'with everything in my body' during recent remarks she gave during a panel at the Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival. 'People don't understand how terrible the Heritage Foundation is when I tell you I hate them with everything in my body,' Crockett said last week during a panel conversation with MSNBC's Al Sharpton and Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass. The conversation was advertised as 'an inspiring fireside chat, where they'll explore the power of joy as a political act, cultural anchor, and driving force behind justice, storytelling, and community transformation.' During Crockett's remarks about hating The Heritage Foundation, Pressley interjected, saying, 'Project 2025, they laid it all out,' appearing to refer to a list of policy recommendations put forth by various conservative organizations, including The Heritage Foundation. Crockett then went out to blast The Heritage Foundation's work. 3 Rep. Jasmine Crockett said she hates The Heritage Foundation 'with everything in my body' while speaking at the Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival. Getty Images 'So, Heritage Foundation has been around for a very long time,' Crockett said. 'And yes, we became familiar with Project 2025. We probably became familiar a little too late, but nevertheless, other work that they did and other work that they're doing is something that we don't do. One of the things that they do is they constantly are doing polling, but besides doing polling, they do focus groups.' She also voiced her disapproval of heartbeat bill legislation that makes it illegal to have an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. 3 Crockett made comments at the festival that they have laid out Project 2025 into the mainstream. AP The Supreme Court's June 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision ended the recognition that abortion is a constitutional right and gave the states the power to determine what their abortion laws would be. Crockett said The Heritage Foundation is using focus groups to change public opinion. 'But what they did is, they were listening to these focus groups, and they were trying to figure out how can we get people emotionally aroused,' Crockett said. 3 Crockett called out the organization, saying all they do is 'polling' and that the way they operate as a group is similar to that of a car dealership. AP She then said The Heritage Foundation is operating similar to a car dealership. 'And it's just like when you think about when you're going in to buy a car knowing you don't need that car but it smells good, it look good, you get real emotional,' Crockett said. 'And we actually have laws in most states that allow for you to come down from the high and allow you to take that car back. So when we allow ourselves to just get very emotional, then all logic is out the window.'

Mike Castle, Delaware's last Republican governor and congressman, dead at 86
Former Delaware Gov. Mike Castle, a Republican moderate who championed creating the popular 50 State Quarters Program of commemorative coins while he served in Congress, has died. He was 86. The Delaware Republican Party announced that Castle died Thursday in Greenville but shared no other details. Castle was among Delaware's most successful politicians, never losing a race until his stunning upset in a 2010 primary for the U.S. Senate seat that Democrat Joe Biden held before becoming vice president. During his 18 years in Congress, Castle became a leader of centrist Republicans, earning a reputation as a fiscal conservative and social moderate not afraid to challenge the party line on issues ranging from government spending to environmental protection and abortion. As Delaware's lone representative in the U.S. House from 1993 to 2011, he supported a pay-as-you-go policy for both spending and tax cuts. Castle played roles in improving child nutrition programs and establishing the No Child Left Behind education reform program. His signature issue in Congress was the commemorative quarters program that featured coins honoring each state, starting with Delaware. He was dubbed by the coin grading service Numismatic Guaranty Company as "The Coinage Congressman." The quarters boosted federal revenues as they were taken out of circulation. He also helped establish a similar program honoring U.S. presidents with dollar coins, beginning in 2007, and an "America the Beautiful" quarter program honoring national parks, monuments and nature areas starting in 2010. "The Honorable Michael Castle embodied the best of public service — moderation, integrity, and a steadfast commitment to all Delawareans," Delaware GOP Chairman Gene Truono said in a statement Thursday. Castle had been a state lawmaker and lieutenant governor before becoming governor in 1985. Delaware Gov. Matt Meyer ordered flags flown at half-staff for the next week in Castle's honor. "During his time as governor, Mike Castle visited every single school in our state, including mine, where he spoke to my high school class with the same warmth, humility, and commitment to public service that defined his career," said Meyer, a Democrat.
