seriously? no US journalist has been able to determine whether a US senator is alive or dead? what is wrong with mainstream media? this isn't Schrodinger's cat--the senator is not a paradoxical thought experiment.
To me, its not even about Mitch McConnell anymore. We have a real problem when a Senator can just disappear for six weeks with only the vaguest of explanations & the whole institution just kinda shrugs it off. Every other job in America would fire you for this.

A fully masked ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York yesterday merely for videotaping He approached her. She was standing still. That guy needs jail time. If this goes viral, the city will seek charges.

If it turns out Mitch McConnell is dead and the GOP are involved in a coverup to prevent a special election that is mandated by Kentucky law, people need to go to prison. Full stop.

The wildest part about POVERTY is how much time it steals. Waiting for buses. Calling assistance offices. Comparing grocery prices. Fighting insurance. Sitting at laundromats. Being poor is a second job nobody pays you for.

He has in fact claimed over £160,000 in expenses
Nigel hasn’t claimed any expenses from the public purse, no wonder Labour MP Leeches hate him!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

La culpa siempre es del aire acondicionado, de las duchas de más de 5’, del coche a gasolina del pobre… pero curiosamente nunca lo es de los jets privados, los campos de golf, la industria fast fashion, los centros de datos, de las toneladas de residuos y gases de las fabricas..

For anyone who is worried about the communist threat facing America, here is some important information: No one was eating the dogs or the cats. No country emptied it's asylums or prisons into America. Schools were not setting up litter boxes for kids. America did not win the war in Iran over 30 times. It lost. Other countries didn't pay the tariffs, you did. DOGE didn't cut $2 trillion from the budget. It cost more than the tiny amount it did cut. There is no communist threat. Not one person who has won a primary for Congress this year is a communist. A political party that can't run on its record because it has been such a massive failure resorts to baseless fearmongering. That's all.

In 2015, Royal Mail was privatised. In 2017, it missed delivery targets and has never met them since. Yet again we see 'the superior efficiency of the private sector' in action.
