I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He's resting comfortably at Roswell Memorial Hospital.

Mitch called me this afternoon from a phone booth. At least I thought it was a phone booth. He said it was beautifully upholstered, and made of fine mahogany, but, strangely it had no windows.

Playing badminton with Mitch McConnell. We talked about the midterms and Iran. I took the first game 15-0 because he is unresponsive and lying on the ground.

I met up with Mitch McConnell today and we beatboxed for twenty minutes.

I spoke with Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes today. He spent most of the time singing Brass Monkey in falsetto

Is Graham Platner’s alleged inability to hear “no” a personal failing, or a symptom of how late-stage capitalism has hardened the hearts of our economically anxious oyster-farming veterans? by Matt Stoller

Democrats say dead people shouldn’t serve in congress, Republicans say dead people shouldn’t vote. For busy people, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Liberals say that rapists and dead people should not serve in the legislative body of a democracy. They’re wrong— rapists and dead people should not serve in the legislative body of a republic.

Roger Humblot Juliette Gréco, 1956

My three-year-old was talking to Mitch McConnell when she turned to me gravely and asked “Daddy, why do people think the nice turtle man is dead?” And when I told her “Because Laura Loomer said so,” she started crying.

An hourslong standoff with the police ended early Tuesday with the peaceful surrender of a man who scaled a 140-foot concrete tower on the Bolte Bridge in the Australian city of Melbourne to paint a massive cartoon bird.

For what it's worth- Is someone keeping him on life support to run out the clock for a special election so repubs can keep the majority? That's what it looks like to me.

Maybe it’s just me but I think if Mitch McConnell’s head is filled with inactive tissue and his body is being kept artificially alive by machines, we should have a mechanism that makes him also not a sitting US senator anymore.

A federal judge has rejected Elon Musk's bid to void the jury verdict finding that Musk defrauded Twitter investors by trying to drive down the company's stock price after agreeing ‌to a $44 billion takeover.

I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning. He's still recovering in the hospital. We shared a private, intimate moment. I shaved his pubic hair and he blinked twice. Wishing him all the best and I hope to see him up and around again soon to finish burning the US down to the ground.

What is Platner waiting for? He's done like dinner. He doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning now. It's time for Platner to "spend more time with his family" and start his right-wing "Why I left the left" podcast.

I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He's still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes. And all that time he insisted he was a ghost, already dead but trapped in semi-corporeal form by Pure Evil. I told him Get Well Sir.

No?

Every day that Platner holds on is a lost day of campaigning for a new Democratic candidate. The Democratic party should formally rescind him as their nominee, not wait for him to decide what he is going to do. If he opts to stay a candidate, it will (and should) be as an Independent.

Americans are now so used to their president cheating and breaking rules that many of them seem genuinely not to understand why the world was rooting for Belgium.

when i was young they had these people called “investigative journalists” who could find out stuff like if a senator was dead or not

1000% U.S tariffs on Belgian chocolate and Tin Tin to be announced later today.

I’m gonna need updates at least twice a day now.

My name is Charles Booker, and I am the Democratic nominee running to flip Kentucky in the U.S. Senate. 2026 is the year we take back our seat, together.

You know what, I think Mitch McConnell IS brain dead. Why is his wife suddenly in China? This is really messed up, incredibly ghoulish and right on brand.

If you’re putting your thumb on the scale in FIFA games, you’re doing it in elections, too.

I’ve never been so happy with the US losing a sports game

Brain dead is a prerequisite to be a Repubublikkkan is it not?

Graham Platner shouldn't be a United States Senator -- and neither should Susan Collins -- and I really really hope there's a way for both of those things to be true.

By the numbers, Clarence Thomas has been treated to: • At least 38 destination vacations; • 26 private jet flights; • 12 VIP passes to pro & college sporting events; • 2 stays at luxury resorts; • 1 standing invite to an uber-exclusive golf club (Published 2023)

Graham Platner has learned his lesson By Susan Collins

Is Graham Platner facing too many sexual assault accusations or too few? Yes.

Let me get this straight. Donald actually managed to make FIFA *more* corrupt?

Graham Platner’s history of sexual assault proves he does not belong in the US Senate. He belongs on the Supreme Court. by Susan Collins

The US is going to lose tonight because… don’t forget! Everything Trump touches dies.

I get it. Maine is super special. But... Maybe it's time to face the glaring, latent misogyny infused throughout our party instead of giving every man throwing a tantrum anything they want and demanding every woman "fall in line" to be a "team player."

Why can’t the beautiful people of Maine like a more normal man. Has anyone been in contact with Maine

I knew things with Platner were the tip of the iceberg. FFS
