No one has seen Mitch McConnell alive since June 11.
He's missed 60 roll call votes since then, and has been paid more than $35,000 in taxpayer salary during that time.
If a widow collects even 1 social security check after her husband dies and she doesn't notify the government of his passing, then she can be criminally prosecuted.
If a Senator dies and their staff still happens to vote and sign Bills in their name that could affect the entire country, then what happens?
So far this year, 14 people have died in U.S. ICE custody, including a Mexican man who was found unresponsive last week at a facility in Los Angeles, according to DHS data. https://t.co/EATGIyS7q0
BREAKING: I'm suing the federal government for access to evidence in the shootings of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and Julio Sosa-Celis.
It's astonishing this lawsuit is even necessary, but in Minnesota, nobody is above the law.

A Republican gerrymander just backfired in Georgia. Despite splitting Athens into three conservative-leaning districts, Democrats flipped Trump+12 GA HD-121 — turning one of those engineered red seats blue tonight.
DDHQ: Eric Gisler (D) has defeated Mack Guest IV (R) in Georgia HD-121 Special Election
🟥 GOP to 🟦 FLIP
Eric Gisler ran for this same seat in 2024 lost by 22 points
This district was Trump+12 in 2024
The New Yorker story is chilling: shutting down USAID has already killed 600,000 people, most of them children.
For no reason other than Elon Musk’s ego, Marco Rubio’s complicity, & Republican Members of Congress’ cult-like loyalty to Trump. Devastating.

President Trump and Republicans refused to work with us to extend health care tax credits—now, millions of hardworking Americans will face higher premiums or lose coverage altogether.
I voted no tonight.
The vote to reopen the government with no deal on health care is a brutal blow to all those who have stood together to save affordable health care for more than 20 million Americans.
I will vote ‘NO’ with every fiber of my being.
Tonight I’m thinking of the millions of parents going to bed wondering how they’re going to put food on the table, keep a roof over their heads, pay their utility bills and keep their health insurance without going broke.
I’m voting NO on the CR.
I have been clear on this from the beginning: I will not turn my back on the 24 million Americans who will see their premiums more than double if we don’t extend these tax credits.
At a time when prices are already too high, Americans are shopping for health insurance and experiencing such sticker shock that they are being forced to sign up for a crappy, overpriced plan or not signing up for insurance at all.
It means a mom will have to make the decision of whether to put her family hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt in order to pay for her cancer treatment.
It is disgusting that Republicans have put the country in the place, where they are pitting working people against each other—a family at a food bank versus a family that relies on the premium tax credits to get good medical care. We can and must care about both.
The government has been shut down for 40 days—the longest in history. All Democrats have fought hard for extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits that make health care affordable for millions. I’m voting against the bill given it doesn’t extend these valuable tax credits.
I will not support this bill that completely fails to help Americans afford their health care.
Trump and Republicans more than doubled Americans’ health care premiums, and for 40 days they have refused to lift a finger to do a thing about it. In fact, they’ve made it worse by taking food away from kids.
Allowing this to pass is a mistake.
I will be voting NO on the CR proposed today.
I have voted eight separate times to reopen the government. And each of those times, I voted for a CR that addresses the health care crisis Republicans have unleashed on working families across this country.
After weeks of refusing to negotiate, Senate Republicans have finally put forth a new CR that reaffirms their indifference to the health care crisis and growing unaffordability of our country.
As I look at this new CR, I am glad to see it includes language I fought for to reverse the draconian RIFs.
But, I have maintained from the beginning of this Republican shutdown that I could not vote for anything that does not address the rising health care costs.
The first 11 months of this Administration have been a disaster. Marylanders are struggling to pay their bills because of soaring energy costs and grocery prices. Patriotic civil servants have been fired after years of dedicated service. Our economy has been wrecked by chaotic tariffs. And after all that, Republicans have put forth a CR today that does absolutely nothing to help struggling Marylanders afford health care.
I made a promise to the people of Maryland that I would always vote in their best interests. That’s why I’m voting NO.
This proposal does nothing to stop the Republican-made health care crisis.
It does nothing to stop premiums from doubling for millions of Americans.
Democrats are fighting to make health care more affordable and hold this corrupt and lawless administration accountable.
We can’t end this fight now. I will be voting no.
