The White House slammed Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for making a "disgusting and revealing" comment about the ongoing shutdown.

Schumer spoke with Punchbowl News, an outlet based in Washington, D.C., and said that as the shutdown continues, things keep getting "better" for the Democrats.

"Every day gets better for us," Schumer reportedly told Punchbowl News. "It’s because we’ve thought about this long in advance, and we knew that health care would be the focal point on Sept. 30, and we prepared for it… Their whole theory was — threaten us, bamboozle us, and we would submit in a day or two."

GOP BLAMES SCHUMER FOR SHUTDOWN TO APPEASE 'MARXIST FLANK' AMID AOC PRIMARY CHALLENGE BUZZ

Republicans have blamed Schumer for the shutdown, saying it was meant to appease the Democrat Party’s progressive wing, particularly in his home state as Zohran Mamdani maintains the lead in New York City's mayoral race and buzz swirls regarding Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., potentially challenging Schumer in the next primary. She has not formally declared a Senate bid.

"Chuck Schumer just said the quiet part out loud: Democrats are gleefully inflicting pain on the American people over their push to give illegal aliens free health care," White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson said in a statement provided exclusively to Fox News Digital. 

"Workers are missing paychecks; travelers are missing flights; businesses are struggling; military families are forced to rely on food pantries; but to Chuck Schumer that means ‘every day gets better.’ No matter what Chuck Schumer thinks, Americans struggling is not good and the Democrats must stop inflicting this pain on them and reopen the government now," Jackson added.

In response to Fox News Digital's request for comment, Schumer's office sent an excerpt from his remarks on the Senate floor.

"Every day that Republicans refuse to negotiate to end this shutdown, the worse it gets for Americans — and the clearer it becomes who’s fighting for them. Each day our case to fix healthcare and end this shutdown gets better and better, stronger and stronger because families are opening their letters showing how high their premiums will climb if Republicans get their way. They’re seeing why this fight matters — it’s about protecting their healthcare, their bank accounts and their futures," Schumer said.

BLAME GAME: REPUBLICANS CLAIM SCHUMER FORCED SHUTDOWN 'BECAUSE HE’S TERRIFIED' OF AOC PRIMARY CHALLENGE

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also took issue with Schumer saying that the shutdown was good for the Democrats.

"While federal workers stress over missed paychecks, military families turn to food pantries, and airports around the country face delays — Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are bragging that ‘every day gets better’ for them," Leavitt wrote on X. "What a disgusting and revealing statement. Democrats are gleeful about inflicting pain on the American people."

On Wednesday, the White House said it would be ramping up consequences for the shutdown.

The White House’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) floated plans that would not guarantee that federal workers currently furloughed from the shutdown would receive backpay — upending a 2019 law from President Donald Trump’s first administration in the aftermath of a 35-day shutdown, Fox News Digital learned.

The threat of furloughed workers failing to receive backpay increases the stakes every day that Congress fails to pass a funding measure — and puts greater pressure on Democrats as Trump continues to accuse them of creating the crisis.

President Donald Trump is being hailed as a peacemaker worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize after securing phase one of a "historic" Gaza peace agreement between Israel and Hamas.

Pro-Israel activist Lizzy Savetsky went even further, suggesting the Nobel should be renamed in his honor to mark the world-changing achievement.

"Thank you so much for having the courage to do this," Savetsky said Thursday on Fox News.

"This is why I campaigned for you. This is why my fellow Jews campaigned for you. We knew that you were the only one who could get this done.

"You deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. In fact, I think they should rename it the Donald J. Trump Peace Prize because this is historic, and we are just endlessly grateful," she added.

TRUMP SAYS 'WHOLE WORLD CAME TOGETHER' TO SECURE ISRAEL-HAMAS PEACE DEAL AFTER MONTHS OF DEADLOCK

Savetsky joined "Fox & Friends" live from Tel Aviv to celebrate the breakthrough, two years after appearing on the same program from inside a bomb shelter as she recounted the deadly Hamas attacks of Oct. 7, 2023.

"What a great day," Savetsky said, reflecting on the prospect of peace. 

"The Jewish people across the world have really been holding our breath for the past two years, especially knowing that so many of our brothers are being held in the tunnels of Gaza, being tortured and starved.

"Knowing that they’re finally going to come home, knowing that we have a chance for real peace that could only be achieved through strength and military pressure on the horizon… I just feel a great sense of relief," she added.

ISRAEL-HAMAS PEACE DEAL REACHED SOON AFTER TRUMP SAYS IT’S ‘VERY CLOSE’ IN WHITE HOUSE NOTE PASS WITH RUBIO

Savetsky’s comments come after Hamas agreed to a first-phase peace deal advanced by President Trump to end the war in Gaza and secure the return of all remaining hostages, both living and deceased.

Trump announced the development Wednesday on Truth Social, writing: 

"I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace. All Parties will be treated fairly! 

"This is a GREAT Day for the Arab and Muslim World, Israel, all surrounding Nations, and the United States of America, and we thank the mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, who worked with us to make this Historic and Unprecedented Event happen. BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!" 

Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., who also appeared on "Fox & Friends" Thursday, said the achievement merits a Nobel Peace Prize for the president.

"This is monumental," Mast said. "Everyone’s been talking about whether he’ll get the Nobel Peace Prize. Those academics and elites in Norway who decide this need to give President Trump the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts.

"India, Pakistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda… the list goes on. He’s done more in 10 months to make it actually mean something when people say ‘the full weight and force of the United States of America…’ than what’s been done over the last five years, and that is bringing peace through strength."
