Several Alabama politicians say they are concerned about children’s safety at Huntsville’s Space Camp after a parent complained about the presence of a transgender employee.

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville and Reps. Dale Strong and Robert Aderholt posted statements on X, formerly known as Twitter, after a parent posted on Facebook complaining about the gender identity of one of the U.S. Space and Rocket Center employees. The topic was also picked up by the Libs of TikTok account.

    I didn’t get to see that until Jon Stewart showed clips. I read about it before that and thought, “it can’t possibly be worse than Bobby Jindal a few years ago.” Oh my god was it worse. Why on Earth did they choose her?

          You’re very welcome! I’ve seen her do comedy before so I already knew she’s great at it even though it’s not her main thing, but without overselling it, this is probably the funniest I’ve ever seen her and the resemblance is eerie too! 11/10 if you ask me 😁❤️

            Scarlett’s eyes seem too normal. For a better resemblance, she needs to have that look in her eyes that says “I just killed and skinned the family dog out of jealousy and left the body somewhere you’ll find it”

              Sometimes you gotta take a little artistic license to make sure the parody is funnier than the original 🤷

              Go too far on the “unhinged” track and you risk it veering from comedy to horror. Like the GOP itself.

                Last week’s SNL is one of the best episodes I’ve seen in a while. Andrew Yang and Ariana Grande’s skit was priceless, and the amount of cast mates who broke character by laughing was awesome!

      Someone on a podcast suggested that the repub response is a sacrifice to get rid of the ones they don’t want. She seems to have done that for herself. Cited Marco Rubio and someone else as examples; I don’t know how those speeches went, but they suggested they went badly.
