Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has emerged as one of the foremost far-right lawmakers elected to the House in 2020.

Boebert owns Shooters Grill, which encourages its wait staff to openly carry firearms on the clock. She's expressed support for the QAnon conspiracy theory and suggested that mass resignations of members of Congress are imminent. Just ahead of the failed siege of the United States Capitol by pro-Trump extremists, Boebert said the effort to overturn the free and fair election was "1776." During the attack, she updated her Twitter account with the locations of lawmakers.


Now, in a questionable tweet, she's accusing President Joe Biden of trying to "cancel" the Fourth of July.

Boebert was alluding to Biden's recent hope that Americans would be able to safely gather in small groups for Independence Day after the pandemic that's killed nearly 600 thousand Americans upended daily life for over a year.

In an address last month, Biden implored Americans to get the vaccine when it becomes available to them, saying:

"If we do this together, by the fourth of July, there is a good chance you, your family and friends can get together in your backyard or in your neighborhood and have a cookout or a barbecue and celebrate Independence Day."

Conservatives in Congress seized on this, hysterically claiming Biden was trying to dictate their fourth of July celebrations, rather than using an Independence Day celebration without the weight of the virus as motivation for getting the vaccine.

Boebert's tweet backfired heavily.







The mockery was swift.




While Biden won't be canceling the fourth of July, Americans are still encouraged to follow CDC guidelines for their celebrations.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
