Dr. Oz belittled with crushing putdown as he elbows way into shutdown fight
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) referred to Dr. Mehmet Oz as a “rando” and slammed the former television doctor as the Senate moves closer to ending the government shutdown. Jeffries was responding to a reporter’s question about Affordable Care Act subsidies and Dr. Oz’s comments when the Democratic lawmaker responded.”That’s like the most random way to start a question on a serious topic. Nobody who’s serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously. No one. And I mean, it’s shocking that the guy even was confirmed, but this is part of the reality of Republicans here in the House and over in the Senate. They’re nothing more than a rubber stamp for Donald Trump’s cruelty and extreme agenda,” Jeffries said.”I have no idea what Dr. Oz is talking about and neither do the American people,” he added. Jeffries pointed to Democrat wins in elections last week and cited how Americans are upset with the Trump administration amid the shutdown and rising cost of living. “It’s been a disaster for the American people and the American people know it, which is why last Tuesday, Republicans all across the country got wiped out. One of the most decisive off year elections ever. In modern American history,” Jeffries said.
‘Midterms will be brutal!’ Trump admits 2026 could be bloodbath as he barks demands at GOP
President Donald Trump issued a stern demand to Republican lawmakers Tuesday, one that if not met, could result in the GOP facing an electoral catastrophe in the upcoming midterm elections.“The Democrats are far more likely to win the Midterms, and the next Presidential Election, if we don’t do the Termination of the Filibuster (The Nuclear Option!), because it will be impossible for Republicans to get Common Sense Policies done with these Crazed Democrat Lunatics being able to block everything by withholding their votes,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.“FOR THREE YEARS, NOTHING WILL BE PASSED, AND REPUBLICANS WILL BE BLAMED. Elections, including the Midterms, will be rightfully brutal. If we do terminate the Filibuster, we will get EVERYTHING approved, like no Congress in History.”Trump has demanded recently that GOP lawmakers to eliminate the filibuster a procedural rule in the Senate that allows members to block a measure that receives less than 60 votes as a means to re-open the government, which as of Tuesday has been closed for 35 days, tying the record for the longest shutdown in U. S. history. Republicans, however, have remained hesitant to do so, including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who openly defied Trump’s request, though does not hold the authority to eliminate the Senate filibuster regardless.“TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER NOW, END THE RIDICULOUS SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATELY, AND THEN, MOST IMPORTANTLY, PASS EVERY WONDERFUL REPUBLICAN POLICY THAT WE HAVE DREAMT OF, FOR YEARS, BUT NEVER GOTTEN,” Trump wrote. “WE WILL BE THE PARTY THAT CANNOT BE BEATEN THE SMART PARTY!!!”.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro Posts Cringe ‘Dance’ Video
We’d thought that Rep. Eric Swalwell was the king of cringe government shutdown videos. “I should be working right now,” he’d post alog with video of him hanging out at the pool or bench-pressing weights at the gym. But we’ve found that it gets worse. Rep. Rosa DeLauro is still hard at work for the American people and made a short “music video” to let people know.
