Jasmine Crockett shares bizarre song clip calling herself 'leader of the future'
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, appears to be leaning in on her rising political stardom this week, briefly sharing what appeared to be a fan-made song that referred to the Democratic firebrand as the "leader of the future."
"Jasmine Crockett, she rises with the dawn. Fighting for justice, her light will never be gone," the song went. "A voice for the people, standing strong and proud. Infectious with passion, she'll never bow down. Leader of the future, she's breaking all the chains. Jasmine you rock girl, keep leading the fight."
The roughly two-minute-long song was set against what appeared to be photos of Crockett that were lightly animated using artificial intelligence (AI). It ended with a minute of Crockett's own comments at a recent House hearing.

Fox News Digital observed the video on Crockett's Instagram Story, where users post highlights that normally disappear after 24 hours. It was also visible on her Instagram Reels tab. Crockett's official House of Representatives account was listed as a co-author alongside another Instagram account that appears to specialize in AI-generated musical video clips.
Crockett's account notes that posts are made by her staff unless the letters "CWC" are present. Her account appears to have shared, but not originally posted the video. Fox News Digital reached out to Crockett's office to ask if she took any part in creating or sanctioning the post.

After Fox News Digital's inquiry, mention of the video disappeared from Crockett's page.
"A beacon of hope, we know you won't deceive," the song continued at another point. "Democratic champion, her mission's loud and clear. For every single citizen, she'll always be near. No MAGA could silence the truth she displays. Jasmine, you rock girl, keep leading the fight."

Crockett has garnered a notable fan base among the progressive left since bursting on the national stage just over two years ago.
She has been known for public comments that have pushed the boundaries of congressional decorum and have even earned her censure threats from her Republican colleagues in the House.
Crockett garnered controversy in late March for referring to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who is in a wheelchair, as "Governor Hot Wheels." She later clarified in a statement that she "wasn't thinking about the governor's condition," but she did not apologize.
She also appeared to cash in on a spat she was part of during a House Oversight Committee hearing last year, when her response to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., claiming Crockett had "fake eyelashes," was to mock Greene as having a "bleach blonde bad built butch body."
Crockett later moved to trademark the phrase through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.Original article source: Jasmine Crockett shares bizarre song clip calling herself 'leader of the future'

Trump wants Senate to return ‘Big Beautiful Bill' to his desk before July 4
President Donald Trump stated in a post to Truth Social: 'Passing THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL is a Historic Opportunity to turn our Country around after four disastrous years under Joe Biden. We will take a massive step to balancing our Budget by enacting the largest mandatory Spending Cut, EVER, and Americans will get to keep more of their money with the largest Tax Cut, EVER, and no longer taxing Tips, Overtime, or Social Security for Seniors – Something 80 Million Voters supported in November. It will unleash American Energy by expediting permitting for Energy, and refilling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It will make American Air Travel GREAT AGAIN by purchasing the final Air Traffic Control System. We will secure our skies from our adversaries by building The Golden Dome, and secure our Border by building more of our Wall, and supercharging the deportation of the millions of Criminal Illegals Joe Biden allowed to walk right into our Country. It will kick millions of Illegals off Medicaid, and make sure SNAP is focused on Americans ONLY! It will also restore Choice and Affordability for Car purchases by REPEALING Biden's EV Mandate, and all of the GREEN NEW SCAM Tax Credits and Spending. THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL also protects our beautiful children by stopping funding for sick sex changes for minors. With the Senate coming back to Washington today, I call on all of my Republican friends in the Senate and House to work as fast as they can to get this Bill to MY DESK before the Fourth of JULY. Thank you for your attention to this matter!'

2 key findings on Democrats' brand problem from the new CNN poll
There's new evidence that the Democratic Party's reputation is in a bad place. That doesn't mean the party is doomed, electorally speaking. There's plenty of reason to doubt that, given lots of history and its performance in the 2025 elections thus far — but it is a complicating factor for the party's path forward. And a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS provides insights into the party's problems. It's worth a breakdown. The poll, which was released Sunday, asked a battery of questions about how people view both parties. Perhaps most striking was that people were more likely to view the Republicans than Democrats as the party with strong leaders (40% to 16%) and even the 'party of change' (32% to 25%). Neither party won close to a majority in either category. But the former is notable because there is such a gulf between the two parties. And the latter is notable because the party that's out of power is usually viewed as the party of change. Not this time. So what can we read into these findings? The 'strong leaders' question might be the most troublesome finding for Democrats. Only about 1 in 6 Americans said Democrats have stronger leaders than Republicans. As remarkably, only 39% of Democrats said that. We've seen hints of this in previous polls. A March CNN poll found about 3 in 10 Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters couldn't name a single leader who best reflected the party's core values. An AP-NORC poll last month showed just 35% of Democrats said they were at least 'somewhat' optimistic about the future of their party, compared with 55% of Republicans for their party. This might not seem too surprising. We just said goodbye to a Democratic president (Joe Biden) who was a diminished figure even when he was still in office. And the Democratic nominee who replaced him (Kamala Harris) wasn't exactly viewed as the future of the party when she took over the ticket in the 2024 race — and then lost. But there was a time when Democrats were at a somewhat similar crossroads, and the numbers weren't as dismal. A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll asked the same question in 2006 — after John Kerry's unsuccessful emergence as Democrats' 2004 presidential candidate — and found a smaller 14-point advantage for Republicans. Back then, 63% of Democrats said their party had stronger leaders than Republicans — 24 points higher than today. One reason for the difference is that the 2025 and 2006 polls asked the question in a slightly different way, partly because one was conducted entirely by phone and the other mostly online. Today's poll gave people an explicit 'neither' option, which the 2006 poll didn't (though some people volunteered that option back then). Nearly half of Democrats in the new poll (48%) chose that option. That's still a remarkable finding. Combined with the 13% of Democrats who said Republicans have the stronger leaders, that's 6 in 10 Democrats this year who don't think their side has stronger leaders than a party led by a president whom a huge majority of them revile. The other notable finding is on which party is the 'party of change.' Americans chose Republicans, 32% to 25%. That's not a big gap, but it is counterintuitive given Republicans swept the House, Senate and White House last fall. Historically speaking, it's almost always the party that's out of power that's viewed as the party of change. Before the 2006 election, the same CNN-ORC poll mentioned above showed Democrats had a huge, 56% to 29% lead on this measure. Then, as now, Democrats didn't hold the presidency or either chamber of Congress. But the numbers are very different today. Not only do Democrats trail on this measure, but only a slight majority of Democrats themselves — 51% — say their party is the party of change. And only 18% of independents say that. It's likely this is, in part, about Democrats' failure to position themselves as change agents, but also about what President Donald Trump is doing — and about people not necessarily seeing 'change' as a good thing. However you feel about the changes Trump is making, there is no question he is pushing lots of them. You see that in his and the Department of Government Efficiency's rapid overhaul of the federal government and in Trump's historic efforts to expand executive power — in ways that are often being halted by the courts because they go too far, too fast. It's possible that people just see Trump changing lots of things, whether for good or ill in their opinions, so the 'party of change' mantle doesn't mean what it usually does. We already saw during the 2024 campaign that people's definitions of 'change' were somewhat jumbled by unusual circumstances — i.e., Harris replacing Biden, and a former president running as the challenger. But it's also pretty clear that Democrats have failed to make themselves into a viable and attractive alternative to the party in power. The new CNN poll also asked which party people viewed as the 'party that can get things done.' Republicans led on this by a nearly 2-to-1 margin, 36% to 19%. Only 49% of Democrats and 11% of independents picked the Democratic Party as the more formidable one. There's also, of course, Republicans' big edge on the 'strong leaders' question. None of this means Democrats are sunk in the 2026 elections — or anything close to it. History shows the party that doesn't hold the White House almost always wins midterm elections, in large part because they're viewed as a check on the president. Democrats and liberal candidates have also been doing well in special elections and other races held since the 2024 election. In other words, being not-Trump could be good enough to at least reclaim a very closely split House. But if the Democratic Party wants to run up the score in 2026 and really chart a path for the 2028 election, it has some real work to do on its branding.

Rodeo Star Spencer Wright's Wife Kallie Honors 3-Year-Old Son on the 1-Year Anniversary of His Death
Levi Wright's mom, Kallie Wright, is remembering her late son on the one-year anniversary of his death. 'A year ago today we held you as you took your last breaths. They said it could take a day or 2, I was so scared I wouldnt be holding you when you left and that was so important to me,' Kallie captioned an Instagram post on Monday, June 2. 'You stayed with us 17 minutes. As you left an overwhelming feeling came over me & I knew we had done right by you.' In the photo, Kellie held Levi in his hospital bed while her husband, Spencer Wright, stayed close to them both. 'For me this isnt the day you fully left us but the day it became official,' Kallie's caption continued. 'Levi we talk about and think of you everyday. We live for you! Our love for you is stronger than ever.' Levi was hospitalized in May 2024 following an accident that caused a severe brain injury. The Beaver County Sheriff's Office confirmed that 3-year-old Levi 'had driven a toy tractor into a river' and received 'life saving measures' before being taken to the hospital. After a day of medical care, Levi's family — including Spencer, a rodeo star, and Kallie — offered an update on his condition through family friend Mindy Sue Clark, who was sharing updates via Facebook. (The couple are also parents to daughter Steeley and son Brae.) Rodeo Star Spencer Wright and Wife Kallie's Family Album With 3 Kids: Photos Kallie also offered an update on her son's condition hours before his June 2024 death. 'After several sleepless nights, lots of research, multiple conversations with the world's best neurologists & millions of prayers we are here in the face of our biggest fear. Levi showed us just enough to buy us time for all of this,' Kallie captioned a Facebook video at the time. 'We prayed those things were him defying odds & proving to us that he wanted to stay here but we see now he wanted to give us time to find peace with letting him go. I told you my baby was thoughtful & considerate, I truly believe he did that for us.' Levi was put on life support following his accident. 'Here soon I'll climb into bed with my baby and hold him as he falls asleep for the last time on this earth,' she wrote. 'I find comfort in knowing he will be restored to the perfect little boy he was & have the ability to do all the things he loves! I know there are Angels up there waiting to hold him until I can again!'
