  • 'Worst-Smelling Man In Congress' Announces His Retirement

    'Worst-Smelling Man In Congress' Announces His Retirement

    Via Headline USA,

    Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler of New York says he will not run for reelection next year, according to an interview published Monday night by The New York Times.

    Nadler told the Times that watching then-President Joe Biden’s truncated reelection campaign last year “really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that.”

    He suggested a younger Democratic lawmaker in his seat “can maybe do better, can maybe help us more.”

    Nadler, 78, is serving his 17th term in Congress. He was chairman of the House Judiciary Committee from 2019 to 2023, then served as ranking member on the panel after Republicans won House leadership. He stepped down from that role late last year.

    Nadler’s decision to relinquish that spot came a day after fellow Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin announced his bid for the job and quickly amassed support from colleagues.

    “I am also proud that, under my leadership, some of our caucus’s most talented rising stars have been given a platform to demonstrate their leadership and their abilities,” Nadler wrote then in a letter to Democrats that was obtained by The Associated Press.

    Without naming names, Nadler suggested to the Times that some of his Democratic colleagues should also consider retirement.

    “I’m not saying we should change over the entire party,” Nadler said in the interview posted Monday. “But I think a certain amount of change is very helpful.”

    In April, the Washington Free Beacon reported that Nadler was dubbed by his colleagues as the “worst-smelling” man in Congress.

    Nadler, who stands at 5-foot-4 and underwent weight-loss surgery in 2002, has been the subject of ongoing criticism and mockery. For instance, President Donald Trump once dubbed him “Fat Jerry.” 

    Former Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, R-N.Y., said that Nadler “barrels through everyone” when making his way through the House floor. However, sometimes, he “doesn’t really need to barrel through because his stench kind of clears the way and it equates to his personality, which is nasty and most people want to keep away from.” 

    A fellow House Democrat added, “Members of Congress don’t want to sit next to him because of it. Yeah, he smells. I don’t know what he does. Maybe he doesn’t take a bath, I don’t know what it is.” 

    A New York congressman echoed these remarks, declaring that Nadler “reeks” before adding: “It’s not just like a guy who didn’t take a shower. I don’t know if it’s surgery or a colostomy bag, but it’s bad.”

    Tesla\’s Giga Texas Reveals Cybercab Prototype in Stunning Aerial Shots

    Tesla’s Wild Ride: From Code Red to Cybercab Sneak‑Peek

    Monday’s news buzzed louder than a Tesla brushfire, as Dan Ives—the quick‑wit Wedbush analyst—warned drivers and investors alike that a “code‑red” might roll out if Elon Musk keeps spinning his time‑clock on DOGE politics in Washington. The bad news? Tesla’s stock slipped a tidy 7% before the day was done.

    But Hold on—there’s a Flash of Hope

    Midday on X (yeah, that’s the new Twitter), an unexpected hero stepped forward. Joe Tegtmeyer, a certified flight instructor with the eye of an eagle and the thumb of a photographer, lifted a drone over the Giga Texas plant. He posted high‑resolution shots that reveal something that looks suspiciously like the first Cybercab castings. “Interesting developments next to the Giga Texas Casting Machine section today… several new kinds of castings that do not look like Model Y or Cybertruck… looking for experts out there to identify these in the comments!” he commented.

    Why It Matters

    • New Castings – Not the usual Model Y or Cybertruck shapes.
    • RTTX Labeling – Opened the door to Robotaxi Texas, a hint at Cybercab production.
    • Giga Press Parts – The sagely engineer points to more components heading into the assembly line.

    When Sawyer Merritt echoed Joe’s post, he teased that the new images really do look like rear Cybercab castings. He mentioned that the Cybertruck racks bear a “CTTX” label—Cybertruck Texas—while these new ones show “RTTX,” presumably for Robotaxi Texas. Tesla has already been quietly lining up Cybercab gear for months, so these pictures could be the first real glimpse at the future.

    What’s the Bottom Line?

    Even after a rough start to the week, the fresh aerial footage feels like a breath of fresh electric air. It’s proof that Tesla’s roll‑out plan for the Cybercab is not just a rumor forced out of an interview. If Dan Ives or any analyst drops a question during Tuesday’s earnings call, they’ll no doubt play these photos off the bat and ask Musk what’s behind the new look.

    So, sit tight. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, the next week promises a roller‑coaster of twists and turns, with the Cybercab at the crossover.
