1. During a House hearing on domestic terrorism, Rep. Rashida Tlaib got emotional as she read one of the death threats she has received during her short tenure in Congress. She read a threat she received shortly after the mass shootings at mosques in New Zealand: "I was totally excited and pleased when I heard about 49 Muslims were killed and many more were wounded in New Zealand. Let’s hope and pray that it continues here in the good ol’ U.S.A. The only good Muslim is a dead one.”

She asked FBI Assistant Director for Counterterrorism Michael McGarrity how it is not enough to fall under domestic terrorism if they are targeting, solely based on her faith and others and saying 'a good Muslim is a dead one." McGarrity said the FBI does not differentiate between domestic terror threats and foreign terror threats and they take them very seriously.

2. Carbon Hill Mayor Mark Chambers, an Alabama mayor, posted comments on Facebook about killing LGBTQ people, then tried to deny the post was his, but finally admitted it. His post read, “We live in a society where homosexuals lecture us on morals, transvestites lecture us on human biology, baby killers lecture us on human rights and socialists lecture us on economics.” It has now been removed, but Birmingham TV station WBRC captured a screenshot.

WBRC called Chambers, who first claimed the post was on someone else’s page, then ended the conversation. Then he called back and said the comment was meant to be a private message to his friend. On Tuesday, Chambers released an apology on Facebook before taking down his personal page.

3. As it stands in Louisiana, there’s no minimum age to get married. That’s why the original version of SB 172, filed by State Sen. Yvonne Colomb, would’ve set the minimum age at 18.

But the GOP-dominated Senate only passed the bill after it had been amended. The revised bill set the minimum age for marriage at 16, with anyone 16 and 17 limited to marrying people no more than four years older than them. The bill passed 22-15. The amended version of the bill allows anyone under 18 to get married as long as their parents gave permission. Rep. Nancy Landry, R-Lafayette said, "We want children to be born into wedlock if possible, we’re discouraging that with this. If they’re both 16 or 15 and having a baby why wouldn’t we want them to get married? It’s really disturbing to me, because a lot of 16-year-olds are very mature.”
