(DCNF)—Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett acknowledged during a Sunday interview that she is prioritizing resisting President Donald Trump over passing legislation.
Nearly two-thirds of Democrats want their congressional lawmakers to avoid making compromises with Trump, regardless of whether it obstructs bipartisan advancements, according to a March 16 NBC News poll. “Lone Star Politics” host Phil Prazan asked Crockett whether there was any legislation she was “trying to pass” and the extent to which her role will be “offense” versus “defense” against Republicans during this session of Congress.
“‘Trying to pass.’ Uh, no. You know, I should probably be a better politician and tell you, ‘Yes, we’ve got all this amazing legislation that I can absolutely imagine Donald Trump signing into law.’ I’m just not gon’ lie,” Crockett said. “I think that right now, it is about preserving our basics and getting back some of the norms — the norms that make sure that people have food on the table, the norms that make sure that people aren’t going through any extra layer of stress when it comes to figuring out education for their kids.”
“So right now, I can tell you that, unfortunately, I am not working towards very much that I would consider being the progress train,” she continued. “I am working to make sure that I can minimize the regress train right now. And I think— and I hope — that my district appreciates that I am being honest with them.”
The NBC News poll and a CNN/SSRS poll published the same day also found Democrats with all-time low popularity ratings of 27% and 29% among voters. At the same time, according to CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten in a Monday segment, voters have even worse perceptions of congressional Democrats than the party generally.
“Holy Toledo, ‘voters’ views of the Democrats in Congress:’ Among all voters, disapprove 68%,” Enten said. “And look at the approved number, just 21%, even lower than the Democratic Party at large. This is the lowest on record for Democrats, according to Quinnipiac University polling.”
Enten also said that “the plurality of Democratic voters disapprove of Democrats in Congress at 49%, and just 40% approve,” describing the numbers as “horrible” for the party.
Crockett’s approach is not unique to her. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Wednesday that Democrats’ role is to lower Trump’s numbers in order to mitigate the president’s ability to accomplish his agenda.
“We are fighting on all of the fronts to go after Trump, not have a circular firing squad, which Democrats tend to do, particularly when there’s such an enemy as Trump, so that the basic premise that we are going after him on — and [House Minority Leader] Hakeem [Jeffries] and I are working on this very closely together … is that Trump is taking things away from the middle class, from you, to pay for tax cuts for the rich,” Schumer said.
“And we have so many different areas to go after him on. And we’re already bringing his numbers down. We’ll keep bringing them down more and more and more,” he continued. “If, you know, six months from now, his numbers are really low, he’ll have not only less popularity, he’ll have less authority. That’s our job and we’re doing it.”

How to Prepare for Food Emergencies if You Don’t Have a Homestead or Bunker
In an unpredictable world, where supply chain disruptions, natural disasters, or economic instability can strike without warning, having a reliable food supply is more than just smart—it’s essential for survival. Whether you’re a “prepper” or not, we all know the golden rule: self-sufficiency is key. But what if you’re living in an apartment, working long hours, or simply don’t have the land to turn into a thriving homestead? Don’t worry; there’s a practical, effective way to build your food security without needing acres of soil or a fortified bunker.
The Ideal Prep: Building Your Own Food Empire
The ultimate dream for any serious prepper is controlling your own food production. Imagine waking up to a sprawling garden bursting with fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs—tomatoes ripening on the vine, potatoes ready to harvest, and greens that provide nutrition year-round. Add in livestock like chickens for eggs and meat, and you’ve got a self-sustaining system that keeps your family fed no matter what chaos unfolds outside.
This approach isn’t just about calories; it’s about resilience. A well-maintained garden can yield hundreds of pounds of produce annually, while a small flock of chickens might produce dozens of eggs weekly. It’s empowering, cost-effective in the long run, and teaches invaluable skills like crop rotation, animal husbandry, and preservation techniques. If you have the space, time, and resources, starting small and scaling up is the best path to true independence.
The Reality Check: Not Everyone Can Homestead
But let’s face it—not all of us are in a position to go full homesteader. Urban dwellers might be limited to a balcony or community plot that’s far from sufficient for long-term needs. Busy professionals juggling jobs, families, and daily life often lack the hours required for daily tending. And for those in apartments, condos, or regions with harsh climates, raising livestock or maintaining a large garden simply isn’t feasible. Factors like zoning laws, soil quality, water access, or even physical limitations can make this ideal out of reach.
That’s where the frustration sets in. You want to be prepared, but without a homestead or bunker, how do you ensure your pantry doesn’t run dry during a prolonged crisis? The good news is, you don’t have to sacrifice your preparedness goals. There’s a smart, accessible alternative that bridges the gap: investing in high-quality, long-term storage food.
