Since we’re not being given much information about Senator Mitch McConnell’s health, I started digging into the Secretary of the Senate’s reports and reviewing his travel since the last semiannual reporting period, covering October 2025 through March 31, 2026, to get a better picture of his condition. From what... I can tell, McConnell hasn’t traveled back to Kentucky in quite some time. The fact that he appears to have remained in Washington, D.C., rather than returning home, is another indicator to me that he may not even be capable of getting on a plane and making the trip back to Kentucky. That makes me increasingly doubtful that he’ll be returning to the Senate in September.show more

@Cheering4Change I believe someone, maybe @GovAndyBeshear should call the police to do a wellness check on Mitch McConnell . With no credible proof of life we must know if he’s safe; being cared for or dead.

@Cheering4Change C'mon Desiree... we all know he's dead. He's not coming back at all.

@Cheering4Change I want to know the “man” who is answering McConnell’s phones. It’s not the normal 18 yo intern. He’s very bold and spits out the usual talking points. I just spoke with him 4pm est 8-13-26. Thus man is a traitor. Thank you for all you do Desiree.

@Cheering4Change At this point 👉 👈 it's a complete joke and cover up. I don't understand why the good hardworking Americans of Kentucky allow this? All they have to do is rent a few busses and show up there and peaceful protest! They have a right to know if he's alive.

@Cheering4Change So the news lied to us saying, “he is back in Kentucky!” This is just outrageous. Totally unacceptable.

@Cheering4Change I keep seeing the movie cover from "Weekend at Bernies" in my head

@Cheering4Change He’s a vegetable. We all know it Why isn’t Congress or Admin doing anything about it? @GovAndyBeshear and his 2 “strongly worded” letters 🙄

@Cheering4Change So glad to see Desiree back on the case! She is the BEST reporter covering this debacle. It's clear that MM won't be going back to the Senate unless it's for a funeral or memorial. Disgraceful that they keep getting paid for no show jobs.

@Cheering4Change Governor Beshear should demand to see Mitch McConnell or he should hold a special election to replace him,

@Cheering4Change This is not Mitch McConnell Mitch McConnell hasn’t been able to speak for almost a year! AI

@Cheering4Change Not true. I saw Mitch and Maxine in Cabo yesterday.

Not to mention he plans on violating the Senate rules and plans to legislate and vote from his home. The senate rules are in the thread on the post. Excellent report Desirée as if he is too unwell to take a flight back to his house, he is also too unwell to legislate and make decisions for America and Kentucky.

@Cheering4Change He’s dead there ya go again making people believe he’s still alive . HES DEAD !!!!!!!!

@Cheering4Change Maybe you could see if @ScottJenningsKY would be willing to do another quick interview. @Cheering4Change

@Cheering4Change This should be criminal or a dereliction of duty. I a furious that American voters are at a place where we need to demand PROOF OF LIFE from an elected official.

@Cheering4Change he is dead and it’s EASIER to cover up in DC than back home JMHO

@Cheering4Change At least you're good looking!! At least you report with passion!!

@Cheering4Change I'm still betting he's DEAD LIKE FRED! All the DEM's do is lie & move its agenda forward. No one & nothing gets in its way!

@Cheering4Change Google this latest update from Beshear

@Cheering4Change Well, he’s already dead, so he probably won’t be going anywhere.

@Cheering4Change Testing 1 2 3

@Cheering4Change This is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE There is or should be a mechanism for @gop to immediately replace him with a Kentucky emergency delegate. We deserve a capable fit senator! It is absolutely unacceptable if his staff is autopen voting. WT serious H @JDVance @VP

@Cheering4Change Mitch is on eternity leave

@Cheering4Change That’s because he’s dead

@Cheering4Change I really believe he suffered a major stroke. I also believe he is not all there. there is no way in hell he will ever return to the senate.

@Cheering4Change Honestly, I'm not sure he is even with us anymore. Judging from video of him in the last 2 to 3 years have shown him to be extremely frail and looking ill. going just blank during conversations, appearing to have fallen, unable to walk without assistance.

@Cheering4Change I'm surprised they haven't rolled out the Clone yet?

@Cheering4Change Where is his wife ?

@Cheering4Change Good investigation!

@Cheering4Change did you find any patterns in his travel?

@Cheering4Change Not a fan of people tell a story to push a narrative, would rather know the actual story. But I do appreciate your reporting.

@Cheering4Change It is weird that they are buying lift chairs. It must be a ruse but still a weird one.

@Cheering4Change $100 says he's dead!

@Cheering4Change Every body running cover for this guy. Good reporting
