Decent human being that cares about other people, animals and the environment. Not interested in participating in tweet arguments. Sane American. 🇺🇸 ❤️🇺🇦
Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. Thanks. https://t.co/0StGlWz45f
Notice how they only publish a picture & NEVER a video
Or the “20-minute phone calls.”
Mitch McConell’s staff & the GOP are covering up for him.
The Texas GOP tried to hide Texas Rep. Kay Granger in an assisted living facility (81 years old)
The Texas GOP banned me after I showed the terrible health condition of Rep. John Carter (84 years old)
These geriatrics shouldn’t be in office.
The NY Fed just dropped new consumer data and the math explains why everyone is broke.
Inflation expectations just jumped to 3.7%, but the actual breakdown is wild. They expect rent to go up 8.3% this year and healthcare to jump 9.4%.
Meanwhile, average salary growth is stuck at 3%.
You can't even budget your way out of that. Your bills are literally growing three times faster than your paycheck.
Trump called in to Meet the Press this morning and said that Lindsey Graham was “scheduled to win by a lot. He was scheduled.”
He used the word SCHEDULED. Twice. Tell us more @realDonaldTrump.
@nytimes This is completely unserious reporting. Nobody thought to check if the photo was AI? We’re just going to take it at face value after the 911 call claiming cardiac arrest and weeks of dancing around this? Right.
@gtconway3d Wow, he’s in exactly the same position in both photos. Including the finger positions. Not to mention the obvious AI flaws….this is a fucking joke.
This is AI - CSPAN should be embarrassed for promoting this without investigation. Not only are there obvious flaws…who wears collared shirts and jeans in the hospital? GTFOH
Statement From Senator Mitch McConnell
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following note to constituents regarding his hospitalization and recovery:
“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.”

From the Office of the Attending Physician:
“Senator McConnell has experienced several falls throughout the year that have been attributed to his post-polio condition. He was admitted to the hospital four weeks ago after falling at home and sustaining minor injuries.
“A comprehensive evaluation by a multidisciplinary team determined that he had no fractures, cardiac abnormalities, stroke, tumor, or hemorrhage. Early in his hospitalization, he developed pneumonia, which responded rapidly to antibiotic treatment.
“The remainder of his hospital stay focused on physical therapy and strategies to reduce his risk of future falls. He has been medically cleared to continue fully participating in his intensive physical therapy program.”
