Time was running out when Mark Rankin and Grant Cameron arrived on a Nova Scotia Beach earlier this week. After apparently swimming too close to shore, three pilot whales were found stranded at 9 a.m., with low tide quickly approaching. If the two friends didn’t intervene soon, the whales might never have a chance.

Congress didn’t get much done this week. But that doesn’t mean it was dull on Capitol Hill during what is now the second-longest federal government shutdown ever. The following are the top four moments of the week on the Hill: 1. Fetterman’s ‘Groundhog Day’ Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who has defied his party’s strategy by continuing to support efforts to reopen the government, aptly compared the shutdown to “Groundhog Day,” a 1993 comedy film set in his home state.  John Fetterman on the continued Democrat shutdown: “It’s Groundhog Day and it’s not entertaining. That’s a great movie, but this is s*****. It’s embarrassing.” pic.twitter.com/NL4RMt8fd9— TheBlaze (@theblaze) October 21, 2025 “It’s Groundhog Day and it’s not entertaining,” Fetterman said of his fellow Senate Democrats’ continued refusal to vote to reopen the government. “That’s a great movie, but this is s—–. It’s embarrassing.” In the film, a man finds himself cursed to repeat the same day over and over again in the sleepy town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. “We all lose, and it’s embarrassing,” Fetterman said of the shutdown. 2. Jeffries’ Final Refusal Just hours before endorsing Democrat nominee Zohran Mamdani to become New York City’s next mayor, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., declined Friday to state his position on the race for one final time. “I have not refused to endorse,” he told reporters after months of not revealing who he would support. “I have refused to articulate my position, and I will, momentarily, at some point, in advance of early voting.” Early voting was scheduled to begin the very next day. Question on New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani: "Why are you refusing to endorse?"@RepJeffries: "I have not refused to endorse. I have refused to articulate my position and I will momentarily at some point in advance of early voting." pic.twitter.com/OrQWb5rzfh— CSPAN (@cspan) October 24, 2025 The lack of an endorsement from Jeffries or from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., appeared to suggest many national Democrat leaders have been hesitant to support Mamdani, an avowed socialist. Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., has accused New York Democrats of “spineless politics” for not backing Mamdani. Mamdani has defended Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil and has called for city-run grocery stores and a freeze on rents as ways to address the city’s affordability problems. Later that day, Jeffries’ endorsement was released, saying, “Zohran Mamdani has relentlessly focused on addressing the affordability crisis and explicitly committed to being a mayor for all New Yorkers, including those who do not support his candidacy,” in a statement provided to The New York Times. 3. Clark’s ‘Leverage’ Admission House Democrat Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., gave Republicans a gift in an interview with Fox News when she admitted that the shutdown provides “leverage” for Democrats’ demands.

All Your Suffering Is For A Great Cause: The Democrat’s Political Leverage,’ Says Speaker Mike Johnson“Katherine Clark is the House Democrat Whip. She works right under Hakeem Jeffries, as the No. 1 Democrat, and she was in an interview and she said to one… pic.twitter.com/AnN0BWptr8— The Daily Signal (@DailySignal) October 23, 2025 4. Merkley’s Filibuster on a Shoestring Though it received less publicity than the record-breaking filibuster of Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., held a more than 22-hour filibuster on the Senate floor to make Republicans hear his demands. He does not recommend the experience. “I want to untie my shoelace because standing in one place for this much time, well, it made my shoes a little tight,” he said as he reached down. “That feels a little better. In general, I don’t recommend standing through the night and talking. Not a healthy pursuit, but I’m standing here to ring the alarm bells.” ?Oregon Democrat Sen.

Health experts suggested in years past that mothers with familial predispositions to developing allergies should avoid peanut consumption during pregnancy and breastfeeding and that parents should avoid giving their children peanut products and other common allergens before the age of 3. According to a National Institutes of Health-backed study published on Monday in the American Academy of Pediatrics' medical journal, Pediatrics, the strategy of avoidance appears to have been the wrong approach.BackgroundAfter observing the prevalence of peanut allergy among children in Western countries double over the course of a decade, an international team of researchers evaluated studies of peanut consumption and avoidance to figure out which was the better approach.'There are less kids with food allergy today than there would have been if we hadn’t implemented this public health effort.'The researchers, whose work was partly funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, conducted a randomized trial of peanut consumption in infants at risk for peanut allergy and found that "early introduction of peanuts significantly decreased the frequency of the development of peanut allergy among children at high risk for this allergy and modulated immune responses to peanuts."Following the 2015 publication of the trial results in the New England Journal of Medicine, numerous health organizations issued consensus-based interim guidance recommending early allergen introduction. Years later, the NIAID, leaning on the trial data in the 2015 study, released guidelines recommending early introduction for all infants facing low risk of developing a peanut allergy and for high-risk infants where appropriate.RELATED: The hidden hospital scam driving up drug prices, coming to a state near you Photo by Amy Brothers/ The Denver PostExposure therapyThe new study in Pediatrics indicates that the exposure strategy was worthwhile and has resulted in a 27.2% reduction in the cumulative incidence of peanut allergy among children in the post-guidelines cohort versus the pre-guidelines cohort, and a reduction of over 40% when comparing the pre-guidelines cohort with the cohort situated after the 2017 release of the updated NIAID guidelines.After analyzing health records from nearly 50 pediatric practices altogether tracking over 120,000 kids, the researchers behind the new study found that overall food allergy rates in kids under 3 dropped from 1.46% between 2012 and 2015 to 0.93% between 2017 and 2020.The researchers noted further that a Canadian study found that the implementation of early peanut introduction guidelines "was associated with a significant decrease in new-onset anaphylaxis in children aged 2 years or younger.""I can actually come to you today and say there are less kids with food allergy today than there would have been if we hadn’t implemented this public health effort," Dr. David Hill, an allergist at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and author of the study, told the Associated Press. While about 60,000 kids have reportedly dodged food allergies since 2015, including 40,000 children who would have otherwise developed peanut allergies, 8% of children remain affected by food allergies. One reason the number remains high may be that only a minority of pediatricians — roughly 29% — indicated they followed the expanded guidance released in 2017.Like Blaze News?
