Rep. Jasmine Crockett accuses GOPers of wanting to put her back ‘in chains'
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, claimed on Tuesday that conservatives would enslave people like her if they could, claiming their opposition is just another incarnation of old hatreds. Crockett argued that current Republican attacks are an outgrowth of the mentalities behind slavery and segregation. Advertisement 'It is easier, in my opinion, to do what's right every single day that I go in and serve and do right for everyone. Because at the end of the day, I know that there was a time and a place, and if they could, they would throw me back in chains,' she claimed on the 'Outlaws' podcast. 'Somehow, those that came before us managed to break loose of the physical chains, even though we still have a bunch of systemic chains that we are still kind of wrangling with.' Such battles, she said, make her reflect on the country's past. 'I think about the fact that they also had this justification as if we were different, as if we didn't all bleed the same and we weren't the same,' she added. 'And so, as the attacks seem new, they really are tired and old, and we've been through them before. And I can recognize the hate no matter if we're talking about in the '50s or if we're talking about in 2025.' 3 Rep.

'And so with me, I know that we've persevered past them. We have still been able to accomplish so much despite them,' she said. 'And I truly believe that as we walk into this next season — this losing season for the haters — I think that we will again be able to transgress and show that, like, we are great, we are normal. We are actually — if anything — we got superpowers, as far as I'm concerned.' At another point, podcast host TS Madison described feeling 'so afraid as a Black trans woman' in modern America, asking the congresswoman, 'What is going on?'

So every little hate that they spew your way, my way, it is because they know that they see how beautiful we are inside and out, and we walk in that greatness every single day,' Crockett said. 'And there is nothing that they can do that will diminish us or make us feel less than, even though that's what they want us to believe we are. So let me just say thank you for living your truth, because that really takes courage.' Crockett went on to argue that whether one is Black or identifies as transgender, there are those who 'get all riled up about anybody that is not old, White, male, and rich.'

Jasmine Crockett Savagely Compares Democrats To A Guy Who Only Calls After Midnight
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) says she understands why people feel like the Democratic party only comes knocking when it needs something. The legislator from the Lone Star state was frank while talking about the fallout from the 2024 election during Tuesday's episode of the 'Outlaws' podcast with TS Madison,a production of iHeartMedia's Outspoken Podcast Network. While she said President Donald Trump misled about lots of his far-right policy plans, one thing he did campaign on was his 'crazy ideas' about the tariffs now wreaking havoc on the American economy. Crockett was baffled by the fact people heard him promise to put sweeping import taxes in place and still voted for him, only to respond by tanking his approval ratings after his trade policies started jacking up prices. Frustrated that Democrats weren't able to communicate how the cost of tariffs would get passed on to American consumers, she said, 'A lot of this stuff he lied through his teeth, but he at least told you about the tariffs, and y'all wouldn't take two minutes to try and understand what we were trying to tell you.' But the congresswoman fully admitted that her party hadn't done enough to inspire confidence in voters while also telling Madison how she thinks Democrats can turn things around. 'One of the things that I'm trying to get through to so many on my side is about how we communicate,' she said. 'Because I feel like we are not trusted messengers. And for whatever reason, they trusted the biggest known con man ever. 'They trust him, so it didn't matter what he said because they believed in his heart, regardless of his policies, regardless of his words, they believed in his heart.' Crockett said the mistrust was especially deep in the Black community, where many believe Democrats have taken them for granted. 'The Black community has gotten so tired of every time it's election time, that's when we show up to all the churches. That's when we want to come to the barbershop. That's when we want to have a conversation instead of continuously engaging in communication and letting people know, 'This is what I'm doing for you, and this is why what he's done is going to mess you up.'' Savagely comparing her party's behavior to a badly behaved fling, she said, 'It has to be a continuous relationship,' but right now 'it's kind of like that dude that wants to come around every once in a while, and he wants to call you at midnight.' 'We haven't talked in months,' Crockett quipped. 'Do not be blowing me up now at midnight.' Listen to Crockett's full conversation with TS Madison on 'Outlaws.'

5 questions for Wisconsin racing in 2025: How much sprint car racing is too much?
Before the calendar flipped, we looked ahead to five questions to be answered – or at least addressed – during the 2025 Wisconsin racing season. One involves an incredible and ambituous stretch of sprint car racing at its highest levels with Kyle Larson's High Limit series June 3-4 and the World of Outlaws June 6-7-8. Advertisement Other questions involved the Milwaukee Mile, the ASA STARS National Tour, what the future might look like for NASCAR in the state, and the short-track juggernaut that is Ty Majeski. But here's the second: Rico Abreu, right, and Brad Sweet, seen at a World of Outlaws race at Beaver Dam Raceway in 2022, are now regulars on the High Limit Racing sprint car series. More: Key Wisconsin auto racing events for the 2025 season How will an unofficial Wisconsin sprint week play out? Not only did the World of Outlaws grace Wisconsin with eight races in 2025, it dropped three of them alongside the previously announced two-night Badger State debut for Kyle Larson's High Limit Racing. Five events in six nights are an abundance for sprint car fans. High Limit is set to race June 3 at 141 Speedway in Maribel and June 4 at Red Cedar Speedway in Menomonie to start this unofficial Wisconsin sprint week. The Outlaws events fall on June 6 at the Plymouth Dirt Track, June 7 at Beaver Dam Raceway (the traditional $20,000-to-win Jim 'JB' Boyd Memorial) and June 8 at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie. Advertisement There's one conflict across the timespan, Red Cedar on the night of an Outlaws' stop in Jackson, Minnesota. Will any High Limit teams use their proximity and free weekend to cross over and give fans a bigger treat? How many Wisconsin drivers might partake? What's the chance the weather holds for all five nights? And, ultimately, will ticket buyers be able to support it all? Then the Outlaws will be back in the state for doubleheaders June 27-28 at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond and July 11-12 at Wilmot Raceway as well as a single night Aug. 19 at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City.

Chappell Roan will 'quit' music if she cannot stand up for 'villain' reputation
Chappell Roan has warned she will "quit" music if she cannot defend herself amid her so-called "villain" reputation. The 27-year-old singer believes she and other musicians should be allowed to talk openly about setting fan boundaries without being labelled "a villain or ungrateful", and the star confessed she is in danger of becoming "agoraphobic" or "so stressed out" if she doesn't speak up. Speaking on the 'Outlaws' podcast, she said: "When I started to say 'Don't talk to me like that'... that doesn't mean I'm a villain or I'm ungrateful for what I have. "It's like, why is this customary? It's so... abusive. 'I thought it was really interesting reading something about how there's so much love in apologies for people like Britney [Spears] and Paris [Hilton] and how people were so evil to them and as a community we need to apologise to them. "Absolutely, but also... that behaviour is still... people are still doing it. "Do you want me to just get to the point where I become agoraphobic? Or so stressed out, or so anxious to perform? You want me to get to that point? "Because if I don't say anything, I will. "If I do not stand up for myself, I will quit because I cannot bear this. I cannot bear people touching me who I don't know. I cannot bear people following me." The 'Good Luck, Babe!' hitmaker also warned that if she is unable to "protect who I am" she will have to quit music, or she will become "so severely depressed" she ends up in hospital. Chappell said: "I cannot bear people saying I'm something I'm not. That's what's really hard online. People just assume you're the villain. "I can't do this if I'm not trying to protect who I am. "Otherwise, I will either quit or just be so severely depressed that I have to go back to the hospital." Chappell previously voiced her fears about being a celebrity in a candid interview with The Face magazine. She said: "I feel like fame is just abusive. The vibe of this - stalking, talking s*** online, [people who] won't leave you alone, yelling at you in public – is the vibe of an abusive ex-husband. "That's what it feels like. I didn't know it would feel this bad."
