Diana Harshbarger, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Tennessee's 1st district since 2021, has shared her views on recent political developments through a series of tweets. Harshbarger replaced Phil Roe in Congress and has been an active voice in political discourse.

On March 13, 2025, Harshbarger commented on the potential government shutdown attributed to Senator Chuck Schumer. She stated: "With the Schumer Shutdown looming, it’s clear there is only one thing Democrats can get on the same page about — and that’s hurting the American people."

Later that day, she highlighted what she described as a significant achievement regarding border security under Republican leadership. At 15:20 UTC, she tweeted: "Encounters at our border have reached the lowest in recorded history. This is HUGE news! President Trump and Republicans promised we would secure our border and keep Americans safe, and we've done just that. It turns out, all we needed was a new president!"

In another tweet posted at 19:16 UTC on the same day, Harshbarger accused Senator Chuck Schumer of misleading the public with fear tactics. She remarked: "Chuck Schumer is lying and fear mongering. But what’s new." The tweet included links for further context.
