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.”
Ja got so much more of a future bro I don't want him to wear more than what he's done no one does except haters and liars
That's more important than finding a way to make more 3's
although no 😂 but
“I’ve done what I’ve done in the past, but it’s been addressed and handled already. I don’t see why, years later, that’s still the topic when nothing’s happened since.”

How much were people looking for a "manly", "Trumpy", Democrat in Platner
The ugly & horrible part is, w/o him being a kickstarter: Maine would have been lost, Fetterman would already be a Republican and he wouldn't have given ground to Dem issues as a reason he's staying
Rest in peace Chadwick
Jonathan majors your character screwed not only yourself, but an entire multi-billion $ franchise
Between these and Moana, the free money squeeze trick Disney has had for a decade is....
Coco Gauff on the hate comments she’s receiving after her loss to Muchova
“I already got some hate comments and stuff but it’s ok. It just makes you stronger. Bettors who are mad, the usual. But whatever, I’ll come on the winning end next time, I’ll be sure to tag ‘em.”
😭😭😭😭

Was the race racist?
a phrase more than "ofc"
Will next level bigotry and beyond occur if we don't get the Senate
A phrase more than "duh"
I appreciate her being so open about her pain and her thought process/other people's arguments in her head.

Christopher Nolan said he wanted to find “language that has emotional not intellectual meaning to people” for The Odyssey, and so he went for contemporary dialogue rather than artificially elevated speech. https://t.co/1ZbftXHzeM
I walked out of Superman and mostly because of his, Lois's actress and Lex's actor character directions, but he definitely improved his take on Superman in this prequel lol
In Superman, he's what Kara called him as she was walking out the door and that's not what Superman is 😭
thinking about how the director said David came on set and immediately started improvising and these two parts made the cut… he’s so good… he just gets it 😭
He tried to take a shot and this is like the first game of Summer League = fine
Non sequitur: the evil sparks between Supergirl co-stars on their press run is worth watching the movie (not horrible, tone issues and some "look we're centering non white gal" at cost of plot🧠)
Stephen a smith responds to the backlash and people accusing I’m of being a racist after his comments on the lakers and them not winning a chip with 3 white guys Austin reaves , Luka Doncic and walker kessler ain’t
I'm guessing a lot of the WNBA women that are trying to maim and have been attacking Caitlin are mad she isn't "just breaking down and saying racist shit"
they've been attacking Angel too, another innocent but less often, and may will with JuJu here soon 👿
Not to speak this into existence although this is somewhat.... Sixers have an out from Embiid.
1 or even just none big prob and he's suiting up somewhere where there's smaller amounts of brotherly love
Trump purchased stock worth between $1 million and $5 million each across a suite of tech companies — Broadcom, Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia — on July 23, 2025, the same day the White House rolled out its "AI Action Plan."
