He'll get approved. The only unqualified candidate that didn't get through was Gaetz. The silent majority republicans even approved Kennedy. They accept lies without question, and have been since trumps last term with the Supreme Court. Do your job, represent Americans. Not trump & the oligarchs.
Dr.Oz is involved in the private insurance industry.A grifter like the rest of this musk/trump criminal admin.Oz wants to privatize Medicare,sell his own policies&make billions off the backs of the elderly.Ozsaid the poor don’t deserve insurance & once a yr can get a checkup at a festival-like event
I’m kinda surprised he didn’t put Rick Scott in charge of Medicare/Medicaid - that would have been par for the course. That said Doc Oz will provide the same corrupt energy.
This is important. Dr. Oz is about making money. He has conflicting interests regarding this position. Can he guarantee he will not attempt to privatize Medicare? That would be disastrous to a system providing health care to seniors!
Oh my God, Adam. I really don't know how much more I can take. Today has been awful. Good news, very bad news, the world is in utter chaos. It seems every country is affected. It really feels like a world correction. Which I am very hopeful for the better.
God dang it! I was bust going to the DC protest and there I knew I should have remembered to call into reps while walking to it from the metro. Oh yes I can and will multitask these f'n bitches.
That is the point. Make you look at possible shut down and then with the other hand get Memet Oz in the door. Shut down would of allowed a lot more chaos, with everyone sent home.
Shut down is worse than staying open, at least the Dem House reps and Senators stay and work. Not sent home to allow worse to happen, when you're not there, would of been a walk in the park for the MAGA CRIMINALS to do double speed destruction.
Everywhere you look in government it's being dismantled by the son of the KKK to be remade in the white supremacy image. Confederates have their orange King the rest doesn't matter. Dr Oz is part of that egotistical ideology he'll toe the line his ego dictates that. RepubliCONS are all con-jobs
Conned, lied, misrepresented their way through the election to get the House, Senate, SCOTUS + Presidential office.
United States of America is no more, I don't know what you're called now, but it won't be that. The word United removed in less than 3 months. By the people for the people is no more
She's my Senator! And she has already announced she's not running for reelection, so she can say exactly what she wants to say - no f**ks left to give, you might say.
Dr. Oz wants to run an agency, but he’s incapable of paying his taxes…sensing a common theme here. We need to up the ante vetting government officials; can you pass the citizenship test first try? Can you pass a physical and mental health evaluation with a panel of random doctors? Are you legit?
The guy may have started out a heart surgeon, but has definitely got some suspicious side hustles going on. And without immigration, his father wouldn't have been in the country. Amazing how it all comes down to that, and yet Trump is against immigrants? Hmmm....
I wasn't sure at first, sort of unavailable, when first in. After she won the first election, she blossomed. Easier to contact. Was there with her (and Klobuchar) two years ago to protest. https://youtu.be/G1OxNzWiggM?si=V-tmVBGatYO7nJYg
Right? Conor Lamb was the best choice in that election, as Black women voters in PA tried to tell everyone but JF’s Bernie vibe was too strong to overcome in the primary.
This is simply a farce; a completely pointless, laughable process done under the guise of seriousness–just like the rest of the tv personalities & otherwise unqualified idiots confirmed into high profile positions through the insanity of FOTUS this fool will be confirmed into the scary reality show.
What the F was wrong with Matt Gaetz?!?! Everyone else sails thru and they voluntarily withdrew him before he even got to committee?!?
It must have been BAD.
Yes. But that game is over. The only thing that matters is electing democrats in the house special elections. The key will be to properly secure those ballots and tabulating systems so musk has no cache of stealing it.
I heard a brief part of the hearing. They asked Dr OZ.
If he felt it was necessary to have a registered nurse at all times at nursing homes. His reply was that it's complicated. Really? Anyone with common sense would know you would need that. The bottom line is the GOP. Really don't care.
Of course they’re working to install a snake oil salesman at CMS. Is there anything Republicans like better than they like woo? They *love* woo. Colloidal silver, drinking urine, wearing copper bracelets, guzzling castor oil, any supplement there is, if it’s woo they love it better than Christmas.
You mean resveritrol and raspberry ketones won’t cure all diseases. I’m shocked 😮. I like her too. She gets that Oz is a self serving opportunistic scum.
Senators of all parties: Trump is undermining our Republic for Putin’s gain. Confirming unfit Cabinet picks helps him. Putin's ambitions include Alaska, Eastern Europe, and Greenland. Defend democracy. Stop Trump.
You haven't produced a balanced budget since Clinton please resign. CR is a clear indication you're fucking up. We've been too nice to congress in the past it's time to thank you for your service and move on.
“Dr” Oz is the king of snake oil salesmen. Every week a new Supplement to “burn fat”🙄 what to burn fat better and less eating and more exercise/ activity. And a new magic supplement to cure this or that. There is no magic supplement, none. Mr “ do no harm” pledge, he forgets that.
It's odd that he chooses people who have little experience and a bad reputation, but they have a lot of experience with media, broadcasting, actors, etc.
Oz- had show
Duffy & Hegseth- host Fox
Gabbard- She started studying television production
Weird...
I wish they would ask him since his boss doesn’t have the medical background or education, if he would advise or not take an order that would harm or exclude people from having access to doctors?
If Patel, McMahon, and a 14 year Crack fiend with no credentials who sounds like he has a Linda Blair demon stuck in his throat was confirmed, none of the questioning will matter. ... unfortunately🧑🏾💻
I don’t really like her, she’s been a non-entity since replacing Al Franken, and has announced she’s not running again; however, I agree she’s standing up now, so kudos to her.
I'm disappointed that she won't be running for re-election. At the same time, I understand she wants to do something else, so I admire her for quitting on her own terms.
Senator Tina Smith has a quick sharp mind, and is amazing. Saw her yesterday being interviewed.
Wow.
You could see her factual answer (no teleprompter) was formed in milliseconds, and she was spot on.
If there's one TINY upside to this nightmare season it's that the Democrats are self-selecting for who folks are going to support in the midterms. Let them all show their true colors, and support will follow accordingly.
Trump's reality TV show administration installation continues with yet another "audition" of a lacky with no skills or experience required for the position.
R Senators think they will be celebrated or at least ignored when history report who they voted into trumps cabinete
They will be vilified as part of the attempted coup
and they will deserve it
#NEVERGIVEANINCH
In the same spirit of “dance like nobody’s watching,” Democratic Senators really ought to “govern like they aren’t concerned with reelection.” (Looking at you, Schumer)
Oh we know. They tried to install him as a Senator from Pennsylvania but couldn't. So they learned from that failure and installed a guy from Connecticut who, BTW, hasn't been seen since. All Hail Dave McCormick "Pennsylvania" Senator.
No democrat should have voted for any of the grossly unqualified fascists and grifters put forward for any position, but most of them have. It might not have stopped them getting in, but it world have shown integrity, commitment, backbone. Instead it shows capitulation and compliance.

He's in.
I'm asking for a friend!
i need proof, these thing are happening, not here-say and conjecture.

Am sure Oz gets it. Of course he does. No one to stop him. Again.
So besides your stern "questioning", HOW ABOUT A HOLD ON THIS NOMINATION ?
CAN SOMEONE HELP EVEN ONE DEMOMCRAT FIND THEIR BACKBONE ?!
Or are Republicans the only ones who know how to get their way ? 🙄
United States of America is no more, I don't know what you're called now, but it won't be that. The word United removed in less than 3 months. By the people for the people is no more

Just a matter of time before he starts beating women, raping kids, and marching with the other NAZIS.
He should just switch parties now.
It’s who they are.
Keep that image - if that doesn’t enrage you then you deserve the treatment

she's not running for re-election
As for the others ......
Going to retire and spend family time. I don't blame her, rather than the lifers with no other life.
I am a constituent in MN.
Why? Because most of our leaders are, in fact, not leaders. They are boot lickers.

Wish she wasn’t retiring, but we’ll be thankful while she’s still present and fighting!
He used to work for her.
You can read a very small fraction of my experience in her office here.
I know she already agreed to fast track the NIH and FDA nominees on Friday. She also did this for RFK.
Let me guess, then she wouldn't get that cushy 6 or 7 figure salary at a think tank?
They both wanted to increase their social media profile to make them more valuable afterwards.
I think Tina has decided she can’t do anything and is just resorting to posting quips online.
When it comes to yourself, never give up, or you might miss out on your destiny.
And when it comes to others, never give your worst, or you'll never cultivate your best.
Remember, "what we give is what we receive." The lesson: simply to give.

What is the point?
Better if both sides could nominate a candidate and you get to compare them. Anything other than this performative nonsense…
Senator Tina Smith is a such an amazing badass for so many reasons!
