There are at least two reason they might not want to update us on McConnell’s condition:

-In Kentucky, a special election to replace a Senator will NOT be called if it’s closer than 3 months till the next election.

-That date is August 3rd.

1) If McConnell’s condition is clearly unfit for office, they’d hide that to avoid being forced to submit a resignation letter until after that date.

2) If McConnell has not regained consciousness or has the chance of oxygen induced brain death and is on artificial life support, they would try and

-In Kentucky “brain death” is legally considered death under Kentucky Revised Statute § 446.400

-Any two independent physicians may declare the patient dead for the purposes of the seat being vacated IF the patient is only “alive” due to a ventilator and artificial life support systems.

But, his next of kin (Chao) would need to be involved in the process of treatment and testing and final decisions to end support for that path to be viable…

She left to China 3 days after his hospitalization.

So is McConnell alive and well? Is he awake and functional? Is he a vegetable?

Either way I think they are trying to make sure we don’t have the answer to that until August 3rd.

Fun fact: the Boston Tea Party was a protest against a tariff.

@SerialBuilder_ @LEGO_Group @Guerrilla Is there any chance you’d be willing to sell the part kit separately? I will buy the full instruction kit at full price when I can, but I’ve got the opportunity to buy some bulk and I’m hoping to start parting out this big beauty. I’m just unfortunately a broke grad student rn

@IndStatePolice Also apparently a car chase? White GMC truck going southbound with 3 car in pursuit, passed me maybe 5 minutes ago

[Ben & Jerry's @benandjerrys]

Sonya Massey should still be alive.

She called the police for help and they shot and killed her instead.

We must end police brutality, end qualified immunity, and invest in real solutions to community safety

I've never liked Kamala much at all, but I might have to change my opinion on her given that every attack on Harris involves people criticizing her for doing incredibly based shit I didn't previously know she'd done

Since February, the IGWC, 12+ graduate student bodies, and the faculty have all voted No Confidence in the President and Provost.

They refused to step down.

The Board of Trustees must be responsive to the majority of campus and fire the President and Provost.

@PacificLegal @RBReich Comments like this are why policy experts and lawyers really shouldn’t be confounded.

@RGibsongirl I’ve been following your work for a minute, and I’m so excited for this book!

Hearing “local govt needs to use more science” in a classroom, and then subsequently joining local govt. is going about as well as you’d think.

[Ana Mostarac @anammostarac]

Ok perfect

[Eliza Brader, MPA @E_Brader]

But please do go on brow-beating those of us you lost the class presidency election to with your intellectual measuring stick in a fight that no one picked. I’m sure it has nothing to do with your own inadequacies…

[Eliza Brader, MPA @E_Brader]

Oof. Seems like someone’s own lack of pattern recognition has made him unable to realize how pedantic and absurd it is to equate an artist who writes intentionally hope-overloaded fiction with the mistakes of a young, underpaid real-life politico.

[Eliza Brader, MPA @E_Brader]

Sure, buddy- Sorkin Liberals are ruining your happy little snowflake conservative male bubble. meanwhile, Fox News republicans are calling for the death and destruction of people like me.
