Whether Mitch is gone or not, the damage he has done to this country is profound and lasting. We would not be where we are now had he had the courage to remove Trump when he could. His life was empty but for power and money and I hope he is held to account in the afterlife.

Over the past months, knowing his health was fading and he had nothing to lose and everything to gain, he’s had multiple opportunities to account for his sins to this nation and its citizens; he didn’t. I have no sympathy for him, unless he atones and asks forgiveness.

He won’t. Despite his votes against Trump, he thinks Trump has given him what he has wanted all of his life - that Republicans remain in power in perpetuity, Democrats are not able to do anything for the working class, and the country becomes a white Christian nationalist country. I think his lust for power became frenzied when America elected a black man. They’re all trying to stop America from becoming a majority-minority country. Whether they are successful remains to be seen. ICE is quiet now but more deadly. Grabbing many more people off the streets.

HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN BRAIN DEAD.

I think we should stop reporting what Laura Loomer says..it's almost always conjecture and should be ignored. Unless we want to remind the public how typical her meanness is of the entire GOP...her words must be quite hurtful to McConnell's family. I'm not saying that if he is indeed brain dead, or just dead that the family should tell the public but it's not Loomer's place to go blabbing this about just so she can get attention. What a horrible person she is, and so typical of the entire GOP...seems not a one has any compassion (maybe because that would be too Jesus like???).

The FIFA stuff is disgusting. Again proving the only way trump can win is to cheat and that birds of a feather flock together and his pal who runs FIFA is just the same. More reason for the rest of the world to dislike America and now to have no respect for FIFA. As per trump. breaking the rules is fine if you help America win, but being from Iran no matter how honorable means you have to be shuttled out of the US in the middle of the night and can't stay here. We are disgusting. Well, not we the people, we are actually pretty nice..just trump and the entire GOP Congress. I wish we the people could all send a we're sorry card to the Belgium team. We the people do not support the trump regime but it may be we just don't have the courage that the folks in say Hungary do.

Who’s Laura Loomer?

"Everything Trump Touches Dies", now it is the World Cup. Next he will think he should be given the World Cup. It is ALWAYS about him........McConnell's legacy is almost as bad as the 80 year old 2 year old..... The world according to the 80 year old 2 year old - I always win and you cheat......As he stuffs his pockets with every con he makes.........

Trump appears brain dead and refuses to leave

If the woman's allegations against Platner is true why did she wait until 1 week before the ballot was finalized to come forward? Seems to me that the "regular Dems" are afraid of the progressives! Think something is rotting in the State of Maine. (And I've been a feminist all my life).

Judith A wallon's avatar

She was probably afraid

Judith A wallon's avatar

Retribution, unless this happened to you directly, you can't know the fear a woma feels.

BS. Similar things HAVE happened to me!

Democrats are now trying to push Jared Golden down Mainers throats. He's a BAD PICK. In my opinion. He describes himself as independent and leans Right. Might as well be a republican. He sided with tRUMP when he imposed tarrifs. Went against a George Floyd bill because he wants cops to keep their qualified immunity. And wants the USA 🇺🇸 to stay in an illegal war in Iran 🇮🇷. And supports Israel 🇮🇱 getting billions and takes AIPAC money 💰 🤑 💸. He's horrible. If Graham Platner drops out, vote 🗳 for Troy Jackson, who's more on the progressive side and does not take pac money. Peeps PLEASE DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE AND RESEARCH. I'll leave Jared Golden's horrible voting track record here. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

In 2025, Golden was one of the only Democrats in Congress to openly support President Donald Trump's tariff policy. He criticized his party's perceived shift toward defending free trade deals and the stock market and "coming out strongly" against Trump's tariffs, advocating instead for a populist approach of "progressive conservatism". Golden expressed concern over Trump backing down from his tariff policy, telling Axios, "My biggest worry is that they're going to do this and lose faith and political will and back away." He opposed Democratic Representative Gregory Meeks' measure in the house to "kill Trump's tariffs".[40]

In January 2025, Golden introduced legislation that would put a universal 10% tariff on all imports into the U.S. His stance put him at odds with House Democrats. Golden also dismissed the 2025 stock market crash that followed President Trump's tariffs saying, "The vast majority of Americans have no stocks."[40]

Golden was one of two Democrats to vote with Republicans against the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.[50] While he acknowledged the bill had many good provisions, such as creating a national registry for police misconduct, increasing data collection, promoting de-escalation tactics, and banning chokeholds unless deadly force was authorized, he expressed concern over its proposed restrictions on qualified immunity. Golden also criticized the lack of further negotiations since the bill's initial passage.[51]

During the Gaza war, Golden opposed calls for a ceasefire.[55] He voted in favor of providing $14.3 billion in additional funding to support Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip at the start of the war.[56] In June 2025, Golden expressed support for President Trump's strikes on Iran.[57][58] Golden voted against March 2026 war powers resolution to end the 2026 Iran war.[59] In April 2026, Golden was the only Democrat to vote against a House resolution to restricting president Donald Trump's war powers in the 2026 Iran war, leading it to fail to passage 213–214.[60][61]

According to OpenSecrets, Golden has received over $500,000 from AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee).[62]

Troy Jackson in taking pac money. This is what I found. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

There is no public record or campaign finance disclosure indicating that Troy Jackson has taken money from AIPAC.Known for his progressive, working-class platform as a former Maine State Senate President and 2026 Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Jackson has specifically built his campaign around swearing off corporate and dark money, even signing the "People's Pledge" to reject independent expenditures and Super PAC money. His campaign finances focus primarily on public funding and individual contributors, rather than major national PACs.

The LAST thing the dems need is another traitor like Fetterman.

We don't pick people.

Black Raven's avatar

What do you mean “we don't pick people.” You mean, as in voting? Because who picked the orange dark triad parasite? Who picked those who are in office right now?

Nona T's avatar

of course he’s brain dead

read all about what happens in the moments after a cardiac arrest

put that on top of his already diminished health

CPR does not restart your heart, it only keeps the blood flowing

he was already unconscious when the call was made

he has definitely been kept on life support all this time

I hate rumors & gossip, facts plz

Kentucky deserves representation…

Governor Beshear deserves a medical update on McConnell’s condition. Decisions need to be made. If McConnell is in a coma ~ brain dead, the Governor has the right/duty to call for a Special Election before the deadline.

One way or another, there’s not a snowball’s chance in Hell an 84 year old McConnell is returning to the Senate to finish out his Senate term. He was barely functional before his latest medical emergency. He’s NOT coming Back.

Is the lack of transparency just another GOP #DirtyTrick? Are they planning to STEAL a Senate seat like they stole a Supreme Court seat by refusing to allow Obama his nomination in an election year?

Donna Stowe's avatar

No disrespect intended with this post, BUT…the current state of U.S. politics is both UGLY and DIRTY.

Nothing is Off the Table. Republicans have a long record of #DirtyTricks

Will LIE, CHEAT, and STEAL to win or maintain POWER.

Democrats MUST NOT let them STEAL a Senate seat with less than 4 months to the Midterm Election.

He's been brain and heart dead for 30 years in congress

Zed's avatar

Been that way for thirty years. So no difference.

This is what to expect about the felon. He's well on his way.

Mitch has become a placeholder. He can't vote, speak, brain dead? Yes. I've seen patients like this.

He's done damage to the US. Now the grim reaper is sitting next to him.

Kristy's avatar

Um... That's not actual news. We've known that for years.

OK, for real, is it bad that I was to pop champagne? 🤔
