I was deeply saddened to hear that Nancy Kassebaum Baker died today at 94. I had the honor, privilege, and pleasure of knowing her and working with her during her time in the Senate. She truly was a model of what we want in public service, thoughtful, decent, dedicated. 1

I wanted to pass along a new daily game my son just released.

It’s called Yea or Nay, and the premise is simple: You’re given five U.S. senators and three bills each day, and you have to guess how each senator actually voted.

It's very addictive!

Duke Energy wanted an 18% rate increase on families.

We pushed back, now they want 9.5%.

Still too high. No deal.

MCCONNELL releases a photo - and statement.

“To my fellow Kentuckians – 

“When you elected me to a seventh term and made me our Commonwealth’s longest serving Senator, you did so trusting that I’d keep showing up to fight for you every day. And over the past several weeks, Elaine and I have appreciated both your well wishes and your honest questions about what was keeping me away from the Senate.

“You all know how folks of my generation often hesitate to share the vulnerability that comes with growing older. Even in the public eye, I feel that same instinct – I can’t help it.

“But at the same time, I’ve had more than my share of experience with physical vulnerabilities. Surviving childhood polio meant spending my entire life with mobility challenges. They haven’t exactly gotten easier to manage with age. And last month, I took a fall which landed me in the hospital.

“My doctors have confirmed that I didn’t break any bones or suffer a concussion. I didn’t have a heart attack or a stroke. I don’t have any tumors or hemorrhages. But I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital. While receiving excellent care over the past several weeks, I’ve also had to deal with a mild case of pneumonia.

“I can assure you that I’ve been a good patient. At my age, I tend to do what my doctors tell me to do. I’ve submitted to every test they can think of to help figure out what caused this incident. And I’m continuing to do everything they ask to speed my recovery. In fact, with signs of continued progress, I’ve been able to move from hospital care to a rehabilitation center where I’ll keep regaining my strength.

“As much as it frustrates me, this process takes time. And on the advice of my doctors, I won’t be able to return to the Senate floor to vote quite yet. But rest assured that, in the meantime, I’m not taking a break from the Senate business that matters to you. I’ve been working closely with my legislative staff on current issues, and with my Kentucky team who help me provide timely constituent services across our Commonwealth. I’ve also been keeping in touch with my Senate colleagues on the appropriations process, midterm politics, and everything in between.

“You’re right to expect your representatives to work hard for you. And part of my decision to retire at the end of my term this coming January was being honest about the demands of Senate work. But I still have unfinished business to complete on your behalf, and I have every intention of finishing the job you elected me to do.

“I’ll keep working hard to get back on the Senate floor as soon as possible. And I’ll keep you posted on the progress of my recovery. Until then, I’m so grateful for your prayers and well wishes.”

Congrats to the Heels for moving on in Omaha. Big win against Ole Miss. Team didn’t give up even when they were behind a couple of times. Hynek with huge 3 run homer in the 8th to put game out of reach with Glauber on the mound. Let’s go, Heels!

62 years ago today, Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield filed cloture on what would become the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It has something which we don't usually see today - a bipartisan group of Senators signing the cloture petition.
