Rep. Rosa DeLauro, a Democrat from Connecticut, hit out at the Trump administration amid the ongoing Ebola outbreak.

“The United States spent years building the relationships, supply chains, laboratories, and community health networks that help stop deadly diseases at their source,” she said at a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing Tuesday.

“The Trump administration tore apart that capacity, and now wants to pretend the consequences were unforeseeable. They were not. They prepared for failure, and now it is here,” she added.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is testifying now at a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing regarding his agency’s budget proposal.

He attended a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing earlier Tuesday, where lawmakers pressed him about his leadership of the State Department and the war with Iran.

Dr. Mehmet Oz claimed President Donald Trump keeps getting medical exams because he “likes the results.”

“If the president is in such perfect health, why does he keep going back in for checkups?” a reporter asked.

“I think he likes the results. He does really well, he aces the test every single day, and I do actually believe that he is curious to make sure everything is going in the right direction,” Oz replied.

When asked about the results, he referenced a decade-old anecdote from his TV series, The Dr. Oz Show.

“I actually have talked to the president about what he’s sent to all of you, and I think it’s just a routine, regular exam,” Oz told reporters.

“You remember, I had the president on my show 10 years ago, and he also presented records, and at the time I was stunned at how well he was doing, because so many of these numbers naturally over time will start going in the wrong direction. But if you look at these records, they’re spectacular,” he added.

Dr. Mehmet Oz is speaking now to the press in the White House briefing room.

“It’s like I’m talking to a classroom,” he joked.

He previously hosted The Dr. Oz Show from 2009 until 2022. The show ended so Oz could launch a senate campaign in Pennsylvania.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio hit out at Sen. Jacky Rosen after she grilled him over his role in negotiations with Iran.

“I’d like to remind the American people that, as the Secretary of State, your main duty as America’s chief diplomat is to maintain our relations with foreign nations. This is why I was shocked to see that you were at a party with President Trump in Miami, instead of accompanying Vice President [JD] Vance to Pakistan for negotiations,” Rosen said.

“What party was I at? … That’s an absurd statement. I was not at a party,” Rubio shot back.

He went on to call Rosen “100 percent wrong.”

“I was not at a party, where I was is next to the president, because in the midst of those negotiations, I was in communications with them. In fact, I think there is media reporting from that evening on how multiple occasions I went into a back room, I came back out and spoke to the President and was constantly updating him,” he added.
