It’s been over 2 weeks since we’ve seen proof he’s alive
This is an image of an 84 year-old man being carted into the Senate to vote on April 30, 2026. The gerontocracy of the U.S. is an obscenity.
If you are above the retirement age, you should not run for an elected office. If you exceed the mean life expectancy, you should be prohibited from serving.
If you expect a voice in shaping the future of the country, you need to have an expected future.
Fully agree. Move out and let the next generation work it.

He got rushed to the hospital today after being found unconscious. Seems like his time has come.
He was hospitalized on June 14 and has been in the hospital since; they’re just now releasing the circumstances of the 911 call, which was the bit about finding him unconscious.
Until now his staff have been acting like he’s just working from home, which is now revealed to be – I know it’s difficult to believe but hold on – complete and total bullshit. This People article contains the reference to the press release issued by his staff on June 22:
“Senator McConnell is still working closely with staff on Senate business and Kentucky matters as he continues his recovery," McConnell’s spokesperson, Stephanie Penn, said in a statement on Monday, June 22. “However, he will not be voting this week.”
But when you look at McConnell’s actual senate.gov site his staff have since removed it. I guess it’s too blatant a lie even for them.
He’s been unconscious for 40 years in the Senate. I am not holding my breath.

Will there be a special song? “Ding, dong, the witch is dead” is Thatcher.
May the bot run soon!
