Joohn Choe @joohnchoe.bsky.social · 03/07/2026In addition to its expectable effects on the $80 defense supplemental and any potential war powers votes coming up, the more consequential, high-confidence reading we can make out of this, I'd say, concerns election integrity. 1233

Lisa Koch @jaspie13.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Also: cardiac arrest is not the same as a heart attack. Arrest is when the heart stops (for a variety of reasons). Heart attack is when a part of the heart muscle is damaged due to lack of blood flow. 040
Sue Baird @suzb.bsky.social · 03/07/2026He is not running for re-election. He is retiring in January. 010
gacyclist.bsky.social @gacyclist.bsky.social · 03/07/202630 years as a nurse in ed and icu can count on two hands the number of out of hospital cardiac arrests that survived without profound neuro deficits. He'll never return to the senate. But they'll do like they did with kene. 2120
HolyGuacamole2! @holeeguacamoleee.bsky.social · 03/07/2026You don't do CPR on an 84-year-old man in cardiac arrest without shattering ribs and likely killing him if he's not already dead. Mitch IS dead. Imagine your legacy coming down to having your death covered up because it's beneficial to the party you devoted your life to. Was it worth it, Mitch? 070
mikeeoj.bsky.social @mikeeoj.bsky.social · 03/07/2026So now we do not actually know if a person is dead because they need the vote in the Senate.... 130
Okhomegrown @okhomegrown.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Dead or alive the man can’t perform his duties, he needs to step down or be lead down the stairs. 030
lisastr.bsky.social @lisastr.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Is he though? Still alive I mean. I’d like to see proof of life. 140
SteveRoberts24 @steveroberts24.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Is this going to be like Franco, he’s dead, he’s not dead. Screw him anyway 020
K.B. Vaughan @kbv2219.bsky.social · 03/07/2026My 89-year-old dad suffered cardiac arrest in an ER exam room, regaining consciousness after 5 minutes of resuscitation. Afterward, he seemed to be in a vegetative state, but eventually recovered almost all functionality. So amazing things happen, but who knows how long McConnell was out? 010
Suzanne McCaslin @suzemac.bsky.social · 04/07/2026No one knows anything yet they all excel at posts about nothing 000
smm570.bsky.social @smm570.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Great write up but genuinely wonder how do we know he’s alive? Who has shown us proof of that? I am curious and have not come across anything beyond assumptions. 040
emily68.bsky.social @emily68.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Andy Beshear, a Democrat, is governor of Kentucky. I think some states have a law requiring the governor replaces a Senator with one from the same party as the Senator that’s being replaced. Does anyone know if Kentucky has such a law? 120
