After a decades-long legacy of activism and leadership, Congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis (D-GA) passed away at 80 years old on Friday.

His death came just months after the death of his colleague, Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-MD), in October of last year.

As tributes for Lewis came pouring in, two of his Republican colleagues posted tributes, but in a cringeworthy oversight, they accompanied the tributes with pictures of Congressman Cummings, not Congressman Lewis.

Senator Marco Rubio (D-FL) and Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) deleted their posts, forgetting that the internet is forever.

After widespread backlash, Sullivan and Rubio deleted their posts and quickly began backtracking.

A spokesman for Senator Sullivan said:

"Senator Sullivan's staff made a mistake trying to honor an American legend."

Rubio posted a different tweet, this time with the correct lawmaker, acknowledging that he posted a "wrong photo."

Their backtracking didn't save them from criticism.





People soon began mocking the Senators by making facetious mixups of their own.




Lawmakers are campaigning for a way to let Lewis's body rest in state in the Capitol Building amid virus precautions.

Let this Frontier Airlines saga be a reminder to all of us that not all disabilities and needs are visible, so when a person requests accommodations, it's better to believe them.

TikToker @legallyswiftie13 posted in 2024 that, though she was in her early twenties, she discovered that she would be rapidly losing her hearing, which was discovered at a routine medical check-up. Though she could still speak and hear, it would become increasingly difficult for her to hear, especially when there were competing noises in the area.

Former GOP Senator Gets Brutal Wakeup Call After Criticizing People For Playing 'Candy Crush' Instead Of 'Making Babies'

Ben Sasse represented Nebraska in the United States Senate from 2015 to 2023. As a Midwestern moderate, the sometimes controversial Sasse was often critical of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump on social media and on the Senate floor.

At one point, the Nebraska GOP censured him because of his criticism of Trump. But Sasse, like Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins, would still vote with the majority of his party when his vote was needed to back Trump's agenda.
