Rep. Diana Harshbarger, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Tennessee's 1st district, shared several statements on March 25, 2025, via her social media account. These posts addressed issues ranging from foreign policy to energy and judicial decisions.

In a tweet posted at 16:11 UTC, Rep. Harshbarger criticized the Biden administration's approach to the Houthis, describing them as an organization with a hostile motto towards America and its allies. She praised former President Trump's administration for taking action against them, stating that under his leadership, terrorists were deterred and American sailors were defended. "Under Biden, the Houthis—an organization whose motto is literally 'Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews'—weren't even considered terrorists. Under President Trump, they are being deterred, as this administration stands up to terrorists and defends our sailors."

Later in the day at 16:39 UTC, Rep. Harshbarger emphasized the importance of traditional power sources during an Energy Commerce hearing with grid operators. She expressed concerns over reliance on renewable energy sources like wind power due to their inability to consistently meet demand compared to more conventional energy forms such as natural gas, oil, and coal. "WATCH: In today’s @EnergyCommerce hearing with grid operators, I highlighted the importance of traditional power sources—such as natural gas, oil, and coal—over sources like wind, which can’t always meet demand."

At 17:21 UTC on the same day, Rep. Harshbarger voiced her disapproval of certain judicial decisions regarding immigration matters. She argued that activist judges are compromising American safety by siding with illegal migrants she considers dangerous and asserted that such judges should not hold positions on the bench. "Activist judges are putting the safety of Americans at risk by siding with dangerous illegal migrants. They don’t belong on the bench."
