Overview

• At a MoveOn “Won’t Back Down Tour” stop in Phoenix, Rep. Jasmine Crockett blasted President Trump as “a piece of shit” and accused congressional Republicans and the courts of enabling his unchecked power.
• Crockett called for Congress to impose ethics guardrails on the Supreme Court, pointing out that lower federal courts already face such rules while the high court does not.
• Her remarks formed part of a broader Democratic effort to energize voters and flip House seats in the 2026 midterms through high-profile appearances and tough rhetoric.
• President Trump answered in a CNBC interview by deriding Crockett as “a very low IQ person” and warning that Democrats are “self-destructing.”
• The swift exchange has elevated judicial ethics legislation to the center of partisan strategy discussions as both parties prepare for next year’s elections.
