Seven Democratic senators are demanding answers from Dr. Mehmet Oz, Donald Trump’s nominee to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, over his long-held support for private Medicare plans and his financial ties to those programs.

As the Quartz reported last month, Oz has disclosed owning as much as $600,000 of stocks in companies that benefit from private Medicare services.
We all know that Donald doesn't like Mexico, but to consider failed Senate and failed gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake for the role of Ambassador to Mexico is a whole other level. She is good at losing.
In November, as Democracy Docket reported, The Arizona Supreme Court rejected Lake's request for a do-over of the 2022 election — marking the seventh, and final, time that her attempt to overturn the election results were denied.
