Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized for over 4 weeks now with no legitimate proof of life except an old photo of him from 2023. Gov. Andy Beshear wants McConnell to record a video or do an interview. That needs to happen or Mitch needs to be replaced. 🤬 https://t.co/YlyCx8P358
Mitch McConnell’s team released yet another hospital photo, and apparently they forgot that some of us grew up doing the “What’s Wrong With This Picture?” puzzles in Highlights magazine.
Because I have questions. A LOT of questions.
First, why does the sign above the door appear to say Room 411 while the sign beside the exact same door says Room 412? And why are the room numbers apparently INSIDE the room?
Then there’s what appears to be a paper chart hanging from the bed. Yes, I know some hospitals still use paper for certain things, but plenty of nurses are going to look at that setup and immediately question it. Charts aren’t beside beds anymore and haven’t been in years. If a place does use paper charts, they’re kept at the nurses station.
Now look at the IV. The bag appears full and doesn’t appear to be connected to Mitch. And what appears to be an Alaris IV pump setup looks like it has two channels but no control module—the “brain” needed to operate it.
Then I started looking around the room.
Why are there multiple hand sanitizer dispensers? Why is one positioned where it is? Why are an otoscope and ophthalmoscope mounted on the wall right beside the patient bed? Why does the angle and perspective of the bed itself look strange?
Now look at the glasses. The reflections caught my attention because what appears to be reflected in them doesn’t seem to correspond clearly with what’s around or behind the photographer. The apparent overhead lighting reflected in the glasses also doesn’t seem consistent with the way the room itself is lit.
Then there’s Mitch himself. Zoom in and parts of his face—particularly around his mouth and glasses—look strange to me. That could absolutely be compression from repeatedly uploading, downloading and screenshotting an image, but I’m looking at the entire picture, not one isolated pixel.
And after reportedly being hospitalized for weeks, he’s standing there, dressed in jeans and that familiar red checkered shirt, looking remarkably camera-ready.
Any one of these things might have a perfectly reasonable explanation. Maybe all of them do.
But when you release a photograph specifically to reassure the public that everything is fine, and I spend the next twenty minutes playing the nurse’s edition of Highlights magazine trying to figure out what the hell I’m looking at, your reassurance campaign may need a little work.
I’m not declaring the photo AI. I’m not declaring it Photoshopped. I’m pointing at the things I can see with my own two eyes and asking questions.
Because at this point, I don’t need another carefully staged photograph.
I need some answers. It's more AI slop with the same shirt on.

RETWEET to thank McCain for putting country over party!
How freaking disgusting the Secretary of HHS is literally letting snot run down his face into his mouth. Imagine thinking that he’s competent enough to be trusted with our health especially after Covid.
BREAKING: James Talarico just went into a county that Donald Trump won in 2024 and received one of the largest standing ovations we've ever seen. The tide is turning and we could not be more excited.
JTA labels anti-Israel US governor candidate as a 'Wisconsin's Mamdani'
——
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency has labeled Francesca Hong, who is currently campaigning for governor of Wisconsin on a platform centered around affordability and opposition to US support for Israel, as "Wisconsin's Mamdani."
Hong, a former chef and single mother, has emerged as a leading contender in a crowded Democratic primary, bringing another democratic socialist candidate close to a potential breakthrough.
“I’m State Representative Francesca Hong. I’m a service worker, community organizer, and a mom. I work for a living, always have, still do,” Hong said in a campaign launch video filmed while wearing an apron and walking through a kitchen where she previously worked. “Five years ago, my community sent me to the Capitol. The system is rigged. I’m running for governor to fix it.”
Hong’s positions on Israel have attracted criticism from some Jewish voters in Wisconsin. During her campaign, she has adopted a more critical approach toward Israel while arguing that advocacy for Palestinian rights should not be equated with anti-Semitism.
Not only has she accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, but she has also publicly stated that she will not accept any funding or support from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC):
"WE'RE COMPETING AGAINST MILLIONS COMING INTO THIS RACE
I'M NOT TAKING ANY CORPORATE PAC MONEY OR AIPAC MONEY SO I NEED YOUR HELP."
Earlier this month, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Hong had apologized for contacting Madison police in December 2023 over a vandalized Israeli flag, saying at the time that she believed the incident was “highly anti-Semitic” and should be investigated as a possible hate crime.
When questioned by the newspaper about her decision to involve police, Hong said it was something “I regret deeply.”
“Three years ago, there was a piece of protest art at the encampments in Madison, which was photographed and posted to social media,” Hong said in a statement. “My constituents reported they felt threatened and alerted me to the social post, but the image was cropped and incomplete to misrepresent anti-Zionism as anti-Semitism — a distinction I take seriously.”
This is the year of the many, not just the money.
I am so deeply grateful to every single person who has supported this campaign. You're the reason we fight, and you'll be the reason we win.
