NEW: We’re suing the Trump administration. Trump personally ordered his administration to use taxpayer dollars to fund political propaganda. This is an illegal and desperate attempt to boost the GOP ahead of the midterms, and we’re fighting back.

Imagine a Vice President of the United States getting a fact-check Community Note that the heckler was right and you are lying. These people just can’t stop lying.

That's not clear at all. It's an assumption. He's very old and has health issues. That can look similar to being drugged.

You can see him speaking to people in the Senate floor video, though we can't hear it. But everyone shares the clip where he's got however many cameras in his face ready to pounce on every movement. Of course he just sat there. www.c-span.org/clip/us-sena...

He's awful, yes. I'd love to see him face some real consequences for his actions in the Senate. But it's not clear that he's unaware, and he was speaking to people in other videos.

Everyone clamored for him to go to work and this is how you react. Being physically frail and needing assistance doesn't make someone unable to make decisions, and doesn't signal 'elder abuse'. We're skirting very close to ableism.

Andrea @andrealff.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Maybe if people stopped reposting every single clip of video to tear apart or make fun of his appearance they'd allow cameras. Why would they want to feed into that? Again, he's terrible, but if we treat him like this what does that say about how we'd treat someone else in similar circumstances?

In fairness there is also a CSPAN video of him talking to people and shaking hands on the Senate floor. I wouldn't judge his entire state of being on a short clip. I do think he should've retired or been voted out many years ago, but let's criticize the things worth criticizing, not a weird smile.

I'm not confident that he understands what words like "economy" and "percent" even mean. I haven't seen a lot of evidence that he does. On the contrary.

I questioned Anthony Fauci under oath during COVID. I asked questions. He answered them. That's what congressional oversight is supposed to look like. What Republicans did to him this week wasn't oversight. It was a humiliation ritual. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Thank you to that man, first of all. Second, I'm sitting here thinking that I appreciate that the representative is listening politely and not walking off or trying to throw the man out. The bar is that low that I'm happy he's just letting his constituent speak. jfc

Why? Nobody in the Senate wants him back right now. Republicans are afraid he'll vote with Democrats, and Democrats are afraid he'll vote with Republicans. So they're just letting it lie. The absence of his vote is fine with me. I am kind of pissed about the paid leave thing, though.

Yeah, I'm not understanding that. Or send a Republican or one of his friends if that's an issue. I'm all for privacy, but McConnell signed up to be a public servant, so serve the public with a three minute interview or even phone call. If he can't then it's time to step down.

Exactly. The FBI and State of Michigan turned up no fraudulent votes. The guardrails in place caught the forms immediately. The FBI closed the investigation in 2025 (under Trump) with no further action or federal charges filed. Reopening it is just theater and a waste of time and resources. Again.

Look up "widow's succession". He didn't have a spouse so they just used his sister. I think the rationale is that she knew him well enough to vote how he'd vote, which sort of looks like continuity, if you squint.
