Rep. Lauren Boebert is firing back at Dave Chappelle after the comedian blasted her for using a selfie they snapped together to "weaponize" his transgender jokes for political gain ... she says she was just keeping it real.
TMZ DC got the Congresswoman from Colorado on Capitol Hill and our intrepid producer Jacob asked her about Dave's recent comments taking aim at her and the rest of the GOP.
Boebert sounds like she's not feelin' the heat Dave is putting on Republicans ... indeed, the only one feeling any heat here is Jacob ... he's complaining about the lack of A/C in government buildings, and starts sweating bullets when a bunch of folks pile into an elevator with him and Boebert.
Taylor Frankie Paul was so sure that Dakota Mortensen was lying when he called police on her back in February ... she didn't even wait to hear the accusations before she called BS.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us Clavicular -- real name Braden Peters -- had his dad, Ken, rush in from New Jersey after this week’s scary hospitalization for a suspected overdose in Miami. The plan was for a serious, face-to-face talk to push the "Looksmaxxer" toward getting help.

In the video, Mortensen points out visible dents and scratches along the driver's door of the vehicle, explaining what allegedly happened during the incident ... all while cradling their young son Ever, who the reality couple is currently battling for custody over.
TMZ DC is getting all kinds of suggestions about our coverage, but none tops this very vocal recommendation hurled at our guy Jacob Wasserman ... four small words that packed serious punch, as he was reporting live.
You have to check out this video ... Jacob was in the shadow of Capitol Hill while chatting with Harvey and Charles on "TMZ Live," and a woman passing by decided to add her 2 cents when Jacob said he couldn't figure out where to start on describing his time in D.C.
That's when she shouted out, "Shut the f*** up. Why don't you start there?" she said.

David Charvet has spoken out after he was accused of running over a neighbor's dog early Thursday morning ... and has a much different story from his accuser.
In a statement from his rep, the OG "Baywatch" star tells TMZ he is "a responsible dog owner who would never intentionally harm an animal," and even provided a play-by-play of how he saw things go down.
He says he was driving through his Malibu neighborhood in low-light conditions around 5:30 this morning when he encountered a neighbor walking 3 dogs off leash in the middle of the street. He claims he slowed down and even moved to the side to pass the group safely, and that's when "one of the dogs moved under the vehicle."
It looks like Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen really beat the crap out of each other ... at least based on a bunch of photos he took documenting his alleged injuries.
TMZ obtained a slew of snaps showing a bruised and bloodied TFP and Dakota ... the images are included in court filings in Utah.
In one photo, Dakota's got a bunch of blood pooled under his nostrils. In others, he's got scratches and redness on his neck. More photos show bruising by his knee and a red mark on his eye socket.
In photos of TFP, she's got bruising on her forehead as well as on her neck area and arms.
Clavicular's entourage is a little smaller after his suspected overdose last night ... his friend Androgenic who flew out from Australia to be a side character on his live stream just got kicked to the curb ... and it sounds like Adderall is to blame.
Sources close to Clavicular tell TMZ ... people in the streamer's inner circle felt the Australian was a bad influence ... and the dude raised concerns when he appeared to offer Clav an Adderall during the possible overdose incident.
We're told Clav had been keeping the guy around because he's another "looksmaxxer," and Clav wasn't buying the bad influence claims ... but that all changed today -- our sources say Clav's security escorted the friend out of Clav's house, and Clav didn't try to stop it.

Ted starts by giving Meghan her flowers for her work in "Suits" -- sounds like the lawmaker was a big fan of the OG show -- but then he takes issue with her bold proclamation.
KateLohan isn’t just battling assault charges ... she’s now facing the reality of not having a place to live.
LindsayLohan's stepmother appeared in court Thursday for arraignment after she was arrested for allegedly attacking ex MichaelLohan ... and her attorney painted a bleak picture of what comes next.
According to her lawyer, Kate may be forced to stay in a shelter or hotel ... since a protective order bars her from contacting Michael -- the father of her two kids -- effectively cutting off her current living situation.
And it gets worse financially … her lawyer told the court Kate is currently unemployed, scraping by as an online brand ambassador -- but not making any money right now. She asked the judge to declare her indigent.

TMZ DC got the Congressman from Florida on Capitol Hill, and Charlie asked him about a speech he'd just come from ... with Mast telling us he was getting more queries about his war injuries than usual.
