Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy demonstrated Friday that he either was unaware of the highly-publicized demands of Democratic lawmakers amid the ongoing government shutdown, or feigned ignorance about the matter during a Fox News appearance.

Having reached its 38th day on Friday, the ongoing government shutdown is now the longest in U.S. history. It began on Oct. 1 after Democrats refused to support a spending bill that did not include an extension of government subsidies for the Affordable Care Act, which are set to expire at the end of the year.

Rep. Maxine Dexter (D-OR) was filming a video with TikTok influencer Johnny Palmadessa when a Capitol Police officer tried to remove them from the U.S. Capitol rotunda.

The Capitol rotunda requires advanced approval from both the House and Senate Galleries to film interviews as well as a permit from the U.S. Capitol Police, the rules for the electronic media website say. The rules specifically outline that the media can't stake out there.

Fox Business’ Stuart Varney sounded the alarm Friday as markets fell again, warning of mounting fears over sky-high valuations of artificial intelligence companies, which some critics have described as a “bubble” that could burst at any moment and rattle the U.S. economy.

“I want to check futures this Friday morning: where are we going? Heading south!” Varney said. “[Dow Jones Industrial Average] is off 150, NASDAQ [Composite] is down 150 points.”

A professor of international politics was stunned during an interview on Thursday because Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has still not sworn in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva of Arizona after more than a month after her election.

Grijalva, a Democrat, won a special election to replace her late father last month. She has pledged to support a discharge petition to force a discussion about releasing the Epstein files, which some experts have suggested is the main reason Grijalva has not been sworn in.

President Donald Trump gathered pharmaceutical giants to the Oval Office on Thursday to discuss weight loss drugs when a guest at the event collapsed. Trump stood from the desk, looming over the situation as Dr. Mehmet Oz rushed to the man. Trump was then photographed turning away from the scene, looking disappointed.

"Trump stands unmoved, annoyed looking, as staff rushes to revive the man," said MSNBC host Chris Hayes on Thursday night. "And you can look at this photo of Trump. It's reasonable to think that guy doesn't care about getting my costs down. Not really. People seem to forget this. We all have very short memories these days. He was president before. He was the least popular president for the duration of his first term in modern polling. He is even less popular now after seeing his approval plummet all year."

A prominent elections expert issued a dire warning on Thursday about President Donald Trump's latest threat following Tuesday's elections.

Democrats won several key races on Tuesday, including the gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia, as well as a host of statewide races. Some experts have described the results as a "total repudiation" of the Trump administration.
