People online couldn't contain their mockery after it was reported that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was ousted from the far right Freedom Caucus.

Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene was mocked online after the House Freedom Caucus—the most far-right contingent in Congress—confirmed it had voted to remove her from its ranks, following growing tensions within the conservative group.

The decision comes in the wake of a heated clash between Greene and Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert on the House floor, as well as Greene's divisive remarks about her fellow caucus member. This marks the first formal expulsion of a member from the Freedom Caucus.


Maryland Republican Representative Andy Harris, a member of the Freedom Caucus, announced a vote had taken place to remove Greene from the group due to her actions.

While Harris did not disclose how he personally voted, he deemed the decision to remove her as "an appropriate action." He also suggested Greene's expulsion was now official, noting his position on the group's board.

As of now, there has been no response from Greene or her spokesperson regarding her status within the Freedom Caucus. The group's spokesperson has also remained silent on the matter, declining to comment on Greene's removal.

The incendiary Greene's fall from grace was heavily mocked online.



Various factors appear to have contributed to the decision to remove Greene from the Freedom Caucus.

Harris mentioned her derogatory remarks about a fellow member, believed to be Greene calling Boebert a "little b***h." Additionally, Greene's breaking away from the group on the debt ceiling bill and her support for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy were cited as factors influencing the decision.

Greene's removal from the Freedom Caucus means she will no longer be able to attend the group's weekly off-campus strategy sessions. This marks the first formal expulsion of a member from the caucus, although former Michigan Representative Justin Amash previously chose to leave the group voluntarily.

Harris acknowledged that there was a previous instance where another member might have been asked to leave but the decision was ultimately not pursued.

The Freedom Caucus has been instrumental in challenging McCarthy's authority and during recent debt negotiations. Despite some internal divisions, Harris stated that after the vote to remove Greene, there were no significant remaining divisions within the group. He emphasized that the decision to remove Greene did not hinder the group's unity or its ongoing objectives.

Though Dawson's Creek's James Van Der Beek has only just tragically passed away at the age of 48, his family has had to start making financial plans amid their grief.

While going through cancer treatment, it became public knowledge that Van Der Beek was auctioning off much of his memorabilia from Dawson's Creek and other big products to cover the high costs of his cancer treatment. Though Cobra Kai star Paul Walter stepped in at the time and started a Cameo account to help offset those remaining medical costs, the debt continued to mount.

Zelenksyy Slams Olympics For Disqualifying Ukrainian Athlete Over Helmet Honoring Athletes Killed In War

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke out after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) disqualified Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych for insisting on wearing a helmet painted with the faces of Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia since its 2022 invasion.

Yesterday, the IOC announced that Heraskevych would be barred from competing in that day’s skeleton events in Cortina, citing his refusal to abide by the IOC’s "guidelines on athlete expression." IOC President Kirsty Coventry personally weighed in on the ruling to sideline Heraskevych, saying she "felt it was really important to come and talk to him face-to-face."

Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly spoke out in a video on social media after a federal judge ruled that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth violated the U.S. Constitution by attempting to retaliate against Kelly for urging U.S. service members to refuse illegal orders.

Hegseth previously sparked outrage after announcing an investigation into Kelly—a former U.S. Navy captain and astronaut—for "serious allegations of misconduct" after Kelly joined five other members of Congress in a video reminding U.S. military members that they took an oath to obey the U.S. Constitution and can disobey illegal orders.
