Congress reconvenes, McConnell's health questions resurface
Major Monday Update: Congress comes back to DC in chaos--they don't have the votes to pass anything. Another ICE involved shooting. One person dead in Maine. McConnell health questions continue to swirl. Trump takes over the Strait of Hormuz. And more. Subscribe to support my work:
Seriously folks. If McConnell was alive and well enough to take that smiling picture in his button down shirt, don't you think he would end all this speculation by inviting Andy Beshear in for a quick face to face? He isn't and he's not.
Texas Twinkie7McConnell health issues escalate as GOPers trot out clearly fake pix of him. WTF they think we’re stupid and/or don’t know how that technology thingy works
Cynthia7#BeshearGoCheck on McConnell. From the picture they released yesterday, it sure looks like he's ready for visitors.
@BohunkHusker4Heaven FORBID THAT THEY MAY HAVE TO INVOLVE DEMS! *clutches pearls*
Ken Hess4What is ICE doing in Maine?
sunnyvg.bsky.social2Did trump take over the strait of hormuz? How did he manage that? (I've been on a news blackout for a few days)
DocGaby22Der Kongress kehrt inmitten des Chaos nach Washington zurück – es fehlen die Stimmen, um irgendetwas zu verabschieden. Erneut eine Schießerei mit Beteiligung der ICE. Eine Person in Maine getötet. 1/
AFinRenoFightsBack 🌊2026 🌊4Trump said the United States intends to maintain control over the Strait of Hormuz: "We're gonna keep the strait, and we'll probably run it. We'll become the guardian of the strait...We should be reimbursed for that. When we do that, we're gonna be reimbursed. We're gonna get paid"
I spoke to polio survivors and health experts about the importance of Mitch McConnell speaking about the impact polio has on him in the current anti-vax landscape. But, at the same time, he’s no healthcare hero. Like at all. Latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Julia Métraux21Even decades after a polio infection, people can develop what is called post-polio syndrome, which contributes to symptoms such as muscle weakness and pain. Falls like McConnell’s somewhat recent one are often related.
Liz Lucas5I feel like this lines up with my experience with conservatives unfortunately - when something personally affects them, then they'll care about it
8647Russ2No matter what how destructive the public policy - war, education, public assistance, health - to be Republican is to give a shit ONLY when the impact is personal.
Noah Berlatsky30this is why I'm pretty uncomfortable with people insisting mcconnell's dead or must be lying about what happened to him. people insisting they can common sense their way to understanding other people's health problems is part of how ableism works.
Melody Schreiber26I love how this article centers polio survivors and those who have documented anti-vax rhetoric
Spencer M Ross19Vaccines is quite possibly the singular policy issue where McConnell's empathy comes through his childhood experience. However, one shouldn't need to experience trauma to sympathize with others on myriad other issues instead of purposively endangering them when making legislation/budget decisions.
McConnell said or McConnell’s staff said! We aren’t buying this! Go on camera Mitch! Prove that you can speak and are on the mend. #ProofOfLife #Blues www.npr.org/2026/07/13/n...

hokusai 🌊🌊🌊2isn't it AMAZING that the idiots who lied about having 20 minute conversations with MITCH... are now SCRAMBLING to say why he can't do a video, etc? and trying to gaslight US into thinking we're being "insensitive"?!?!?! the dude is gone - either for good or mentally incapacitated...
Hawkeye Pete2Did Mitch release this statement via the usual communication channels?
Jeri1I call bullshit. Lets here it from him and not AI
Kim Noreen1NPR has always framed things to please “both sides” instead of being actual, factual “news” their coverage of Israel has always been horrific.

judithanne.bsky.social1If he doesn't show his face by tomorrow ..... Appoint a Dem to the seat. Let them take us to court. Then play 47s delay game. And by then, it's November. Do It
