🚨NEWS: U.N.-backed investigators say they found “reasonable grounds” to believe the U.S. committed war crimes in two strikes in Iran, including one on a school in Minab. https://t.co/9shcKUkJ2f
The law does not require legal proof, to initiate the process.
If the Governor believes the seat is vacant, he can call the election and start the process.
Republicans would then file and injunction and be required to provide proof.
If they do, the process ends, no harm no foul.
The Governor could also take any number of other actions:
-Requesting Capitol Police preform a welfare check.
-Formally write to request the Sergeant-at-Arms locate the Senator from Kentucky for matters of State business.
-Request Kentucky State law enforcement investigate, on grounds of concern of defrauding the State of Kentucky.
-Summon a grand jury and through the Kentucky AG investigate potential crimes such forgery, falsely exercising the Senators authority, unlawful concealment etc.
We do not know when McConnell’s health became so bad, that he was not making his own decisions.
Therefore there is ample legal grounds for the Governor, not only to know his current health status, but the full picture of his health.
If McConnell was not of sound mind prior to the event, the Governor must ensure none of his staff were issuing decisions on behalf of the Senator, using public funds, using office funds, or enacting Senate business without the Senators authority.
Very, very sad to report that Hayam El Gamal, mother of 5 kids detained at Dilley for 10+ months, has suffered a serious medical emergency due to systematic denial of medical attention by ICE.
We can now share the following:
For many weeks Ms. El Gamal has been concerned about a growth on her chest that has caused pain for many weeks. She has made complaints to Dilley staff and ICE repeatedly but has been denied a visit to an outside doctor. She had specifically made requests for a CT scan to identify the lump and the source of her pain.
On Thursday April 8, a doctor at Dilley told her that he had put in a request for a CT scan but "higher ups" in either ICE or CoreCivic overrode his request, and so no scan was conducted. Medical records show she had been demanding help since February, at which time she said her pain had been already worsening for 8 weeks. A doctor at Dilley said the lump in her chest was merely a bone.
Mid-morning on Friday April 9, Ms. El Gamal began experiencing excruciating pain which she rated an 11 out of 10. She described the pain as being stabbed through the back to the stomach. At about 11 AM central time she began pleading with officials for painkillers and medical attention. After two hours of asking for help (at around 1 PM central time) she was taken to an off-site emergency room. While there she received lab work and, finally, a CT scan. The CT scan confirmed that the lump was not a bone, but it did not reveal what the lump was.
The scan also showed she has "fluid around the heart." The ER doctor recommended an ultrasound to determine what was causing the pain, but this was denied. Ms. El Gamal was told she had to go back to Dilley and was not given the ultrasound. We do not know if the lump is cancerous, all we know is that the pain is increasing, the incidents are becoming worse and worse, and she is not receiving proper diagnosis that could lead to proper treatment.
After 10 months in detention, Ms. El Gamal remains in pain. We are concerned that the systematic denial of medical attention may result in her death. Her children are extremely worried about their mother, who is now their only guardian. Her five year old child has been denied the right to go to a dentist for 13 cavities. Her 16 year old son was told to take tylenol when he suffered from acute appendicitis. All of the children are suffering from depression.
Please join us in demanding the El Gamal's immediate release so that she can acquire the urgent medical attention she desperately needs. This family has suffered enough.
I want to flag something that may have flown under the radar, but shouldn't. In December 2025, President Trump and @SecVetAffairs Doug Collins moved to ban access to abortion care at the VA, even in cases of rape, incest, or when the health of the mother is at risk. Earlier this week, the Senate voted on our bill to overturn that policy. 50 Republican Senators opposed it, meaning the abortion ban remains in effect.
This threat to women's healthcare continues to be real. After losing elections in the wake of Roe falling, Republicans know that it's not politically popular to be publicly for abortion bans. So they do it just like this: quietly, in the dark of night, through bureaucratic rule-making -- hoping we won't catch it. Our veterans deserve access to abortion care. Period. And I will not stop shining the light on this and working to overturn this new ban.

2/The call was brought to the attention of DNI Tulsi Gabbard who prevented NSA officials from distributing it. Gabbard took the report straight to Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles.
Trump is a Racist! I am officially calling for the resignation of Donald J. Trump. There is nothing left to debate. If you support me, share this post. My name is John Boyd Civil Rights Activist, Founder and President of the National Black Farmers Association.! Amen.
President Obama and Michelle Obama are brilliant, compassionate and patriotic Americans. They represent the best of this country.
Donald Trump is a vile, unhinged and malignant bottom feeder.
Why are GOP leaders like John Thune continuing to stand by this sick individual?
Every single Republican must immediately denounce Donald Trump’s disgusting bigotry.
“Please get the truth out about our son.”
Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, was killed by ICE while trying to protect a woman being assaulted.
Trump calls him a “monster” and “domestic terrorist.”
Trust your own eyes. Unlike Trump, the video doesn’t lie.
“He raped me.”
“Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”
“She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.”
Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.
