Democrats have been losing their minds trying to figure out what to do to respond to the whirlwind of actions that President Donald Trump has brought, particularly in regard to the actions of DOGE.

They have resorted to all kinds of silly attacks from things like “Elon Musk is unelected” (even though he’s acting at the direct behest of the president who is duly elected and the people he’s reviewing are “unelected” or making up things like Musk is going to loot your grandpa’s Social Security.
Rep. John Larson (D-CT) tried this false attack about a week ago.
Elon Musk has gained access to the sensitive personal information of millions of Americans. Why does he need that?

Musk needs to review what a mess the finances have been and he’s already shown why that’s a good thing with all he’s pointed out.

Larson was attacking Musk again on the floor of the House on Monday when something happened to him right in the middle of speaking. This is pretty scary as he just suddenly seems to freeze.

He was talking, stopped suddenly, and then was just staring, moving his tongue.
Then when he started talking again, his words were slurred, and he tripped over words like “privacy.” And he seemed markedly different.
The clip immediately went viral on X, with people concerned. People wondered if he might be having a temporary ischemic attack (TIA). People also wondered why no one seemed to come to his aid immediately when it was clear there was a problem. All they said immediately on the floor was that his “time was expired.” Some also called for term limits and/or health limits for members of Congress.
Larson is 76 and has been in Congress for 26 years, since 1999. His office responded after the clip went viral.
“Congressman Larson appreciates the well wishes from everyone who has reached out. This afternoon, he had what was likely an adverse reaction to a new medication and is having tests administered by the House Attending Physician out of an abundance of caution,” his team wrote in a statement.
“He later participated in multiple meetings in his office and was alert and engaged. The Congressman remains in touch with his staff and in good spirits,” they added.

We’ve seen a variety of age/medical issues in Congress from Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). We even saw the situation where we had a member of Congress who wasn’t voting because she was in an assisted living home for months.

Larson should get a full work-up. Notice what they don’t say here is what condition or medication they’re talking about. In general, if you are a member of Congress, I think you owe the constituents some transparency as to what was going on. “Reaction to medication” when someone freezes like that doesn’t really fully answer the question.
