For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

One of the best job applications ever written came from the hands of Robert Pirosh in 1934. MGM loved it, took him on and he went on to became an Oscar-winning screenwriter.

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Retire in peace
McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

Because he saw the life he would have lived when he went to Egypt, he has a deep appreciation of what it is to be an American. Having grown up extremely poor, I fight for people to have food. Having empathy is extremely powerful & what we need in our leaders. Empathy & love. #Pinks

As we have record breaking heat wave after record breaking heat wave, it's comforting that our latest response to climate change has been to rush the construction of a thousand data centers that drink all our water and generate more CO2 than a couple industrial revolutions. JFC.

1. Mitch McConnell suffered a fall on June 14 and has not been in the Senate for two months. But he's continued to get paid his salary of 174K/year. Since he entered the Senate in 1985, McConnell has voted against creating or expanding medical leave — paid and unpaid — at least 23 times.

Every time gun deaths are ranked by state, MAGA says ‘blame blue cities.’ Not here. Most gun deaths are suicides, and gun suicide is overwhelmingly rural. The most rural counties have nearly triple the rate of the most urban. These 10 states are gun heavy and mostly red. #GunSafety
