Here is my take on the shifting narrative surrounding Senator McConnell’s health: regardless of whether these statements are true, they highlight a fundamental issue with Article I. Unless a sitting senator resigns or dies, there is effectively no mechanism to remove them, or their handlers, from office.

09/17/26: My Day 4 progress report on Senator Mitch McConnell’s return to work raises serious questions about whether it is safe for the elderly senator to continue working at all. But it also raises a much bigger constitutional question: What happens if a sitting U.S. senator becomes physically or mentally incapacitated and is unable to make the decision to resign? Unlike the presidency, there is no 25th Amendment process for an incapacitated senator. So if a senator cannot resign, what mechanism, if any, exists to remove or replace them?

Even if Senator Mitch McConnell’s office had announced from the very beginning that he was suffering from a serious medical condition that left him unconscious, the constitutional problem would remain the same: there is no mechanism to remove or replace an incapacitated senator who cannot voluntarily resign. That exposes a major flaw in Article I, Section 5, and Congress needs a constitutional amendment to address incapacity.

Based on the continued presence of Senator Mitch McConnell’s Capitol Police detail, there is no indication he has been discharged. He remains at the hospital. I also just watched personnel from the Office of the Attending Physician arrive. I’m not sure why they would need to come here again after issuing a statement on his condition, but they are here right now.

This is the unidentified staffer from Senator Mitch McConnell’s office who was frequently seen wheeling the Senator to the Senate floor for votes. During some past roll call votes in which the Senator was present, the votes themselves occurred off camera. If an elderly senator were ever mentally incapacitated or otherwise unable to make an independent voting decision, my concern is that a staffer could potentially influence or instruct that senator on how to vote. That possibility raises important questions about transparency and safeguards surrounding the voting process.

Today is day 33 of Senator Mitch McConnell’s hospitalization, and based on the continued presence of his U.S. Capitol Police security detail. For those of you who work for the U.S. Capitol Police, the federal government, or the military, the talking points on Capitol Hill are increasingly shifting toward a government shutdown. Both parties are blaming each other, but with Republicans holding a very narrow majority, McConnell’s continued absence raises questions about how leadership plans to navigate the negotiations. So far, there has been little public clarity about when, or if, Senator McConnell is expected to return.

Bill Maher: “A lot of people these days are asking where’s Mitch McConnell. Oh, I know where he is. In Hade’s arguing with Odysseus about whether it’s down there or up here. But his body is still a Senator and someone’s using it to vote.”

The world is a vampire. This is why I give them nothing, never self censor, take the arrows, never back down, because I have a very deep understanding of dealing with narcissists. They expect perfection and they believe whatever they want to be true is true. There is no pleasing or meeting of the minds with these people. And the narcissist is always lonely needy and motivated by a deep shame. The key is to not only never appease them, but to genuinely live a happy life. See them for what they are. Broken. I wouldn’t even be describing them or engaging if it wasn’t for my job. Comedian in an online world attracts the rage of narcissists. Because we make them feel small or ashamed. And they can lash out anonymously. They are playing a different game than you. Their game is to get a reaction or to humiliate. You think they want to actually debate or know truth or that they want to know if they’re wrong. Nope. They live in hell. In my personal life I have zero that I communicate with. They give nothing and take everything. And they want you to hate them. It makes them feel like they matter. Livestream 1230 pm pst

A Capitol Hill source sent me a Department of Energy hotline on S.1674, the Mammoth Cave National Park Boundary Adjustment Act of 2025, which is Senator Mitch McConnell’s bill. That raises an obvious question: if Senator McConnell is still at George Washington University Hospital, how did this legislation move forward? Do Senate staff have the authority to advance legislation like this on behalf of a senator? I followed up with Senator Mitch McConnell’s communications director, Stephanie Penn, hoping to get answers and a response to the questions raised in my previous video. Specifically: Where did this legislation come from, and how was it approved if the senator remains hospitalized? Stephanie Penn had no response and walked into Senator Katie Britt’s office.

Senator John Methu: If a former Deputy President, having served inside an administration, tells the people of Kenya that certain things have happened, were happening, or are happening, the question is not whether he was there. The question is, is what he is saying true or false?

How did the death of 40 fishermen go unnoticed? Despite Turkana Senator James Lomenen bringing the issue to the floor of the Senate, the issue didn't attract the attention needed; no single senator requested a special sitting, the media gave this grave matter complete blackout, and there was no outrage on social media or in the streets. Does it mean there are some Kenyans who are more than equal to others?

🚨🇺🇸BREAKING: John Bolton on US-Iran talks: "These meetings are a waste of oxygen. There is simply no room for agreement between Iran and the US on this issue. I don't know what Trump is going to do, but I don't think anything will come out of these talks, whether they are held in Oman, Turkey or the moon - it is simply a waste of time".

Thomas Sowell: “The question is not whether people on welfare or on low incomes can all spend their money effectively.” “The question is: how effectively do they spend it as compared to how effectively the bureaucrats spend it for them? Comparing anything to perfection or to some arbitrary standard settles nothing.” “The same thing is true in the education area. Would families be able to select schools for their kids under a voucher system? The question is, could they possibly do much worse than the current bureaucrats are doing in the public school system?”

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: On the guidelines issued by the VHP regarding the upcoming Navratri events in Maharashtra, Shiv Sena UBT leader Aaditya Thackeray says, "Who are these people to issue us a certificate of Hindutva? The point is, whether it is Dahi Handi, Navratri, or the grand Ganpati celebrations—look at the people here; their primary identity is that they are all Mumbaikars. Regardless of language or caste, they come for the deity; they do not come for any single individual—this is about everyone." (06.09)

#WATCH | Pahalgam, J&K: On his visit to #Pahalgam, Actor Atul Kulkarni says "I will take a lot of love with me (from Kashmir). The way all these people are meeting me, it is visible in their eyes that they are sad right now, but as soon as I meet them and share my purpose of coming here, they smile. They say this is very important, you should tell people to come here. You should tell people that they are safe, and we will take responsibility for them. I think that the message I will take with me is that there is a lot of love here, a lot of hospitality, it is very beautiful but the people here are even more beautiful..."

This is a classic Kennedy moment. Senator John Kennedy presses Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on whether Special Counsel Jack Smith accessed the emails of sitting U.S. Senators. SENATOR KENNEDY: “Did, uh, did Jack Smith read my emails?” [Todd Blanche chuckles] TODD BLANCHE: “Um, I’m not sure, Senator, I don’t know.” SENATOR KENNEDY: “Would you check for me?” TODD BLANCHE: “We will check, Senator, yes.” SENATOR KENNEDY: “Um, I think he read Senator Grassley’s emails. How did he…how can someone at the Department of Justice get Senator Grassley’s emails without probable cause?” TODD BLANCHE: “There are checks in place that should make it extraordinarily difficult for a prosecutor to, um, collect and review a Senator’s emails or a Congressman’s emails or a lawyer’s emails or other folks that have privileged protections associated with their communications.” “And those checks and balances should always be used.” SENATOR KENNEDY: “But Mr. Smith just ignored them?” TODD BLANCHE: “I cannot speak for Mr. Smith, Senator.” SENATOR KENNEDY: “Would you check for me, first if he if he read my emails?” “And number two, how he got them?” “And number three…what emails did he get of Senator Grassley?” “And and I mean, were the…what were they limited to, if at all? You know, did he get emails from Senator Grassley talking about his corn harvest and and all of that?” “And who did he share them with? Do you know if if Mr. Smith shared my emails with with Attorney General Garland?” TODD BLANCHE: “I do not know.” SENATOR KENNEDY: “Can you check for me?” TODD BLANCHE: “We are investigating that, Senator, yes.” SENATOR KENNEDY: “Yeah, I’d kind of like to know all of that.”
