Rep. Diana Harshbarger, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Tennessee's 1st district, shared her views on various political issues through a series of tweets on January 22, 2025. Her statements touched upon executive actions by former President Trump, drug cartels, and birthright citizenship.

In her first tweet of the day, Rep. Harshbarger expressed her support for former President Trump's executive actions by comparing them to Christmas gifts that "keep on giving." "And here I thought Christmas ended almost a month ago. President Trump’s executive actions are the gifts that keep on giving." This tweet was posted at 03:21:54 UTC.

Later in the day, at 15:27:54 UTC, she addressed the issue of drug cartels, labeling them as foreign terrorists and credited former President Trump for his leadership in treating them accordingly. "Drug cartels are foreign terrorists, and because of President Trump’s leadership, they’ll be treated as such."

In her final tweet at 19:51:36 UTC, Rep. Harshbarger criticized birthright citizenship and announced her co-sponsorship of a bill introduced by Rep. Brian Babin aimed at ending this policy. She stated that birthright citizenship contributes to illegal immigration and emphasized her pride in supporting legislation to address it. "The only thing birthright citizenship births is more illegal immigration, which is why it needs to end. I’m proud to be an original co-sponsor of @RepBrianBabin’s bill introduced today that will put a stop to this misguided policy."
