So I looked it up and no news. I think we deserve more.
If he has had a stroke or whatever they should tell us.

Sen. Mitch McConnell's condition remains unclear 2 weeks after being hospitalized
https://www.wlky.com/article/mitch-mcconnell-hospital-condition-louisville-kentucky/71768553

It's been more than two weeks since Sen. Mitch McConnell was admitted to the hospital, and there's still few details surrounding his condition or why he's there.

A spokesperson for McConnell's office told WLKY Sunday night that there are "no updates at this time" regarding the senator's condition.

The office reiterated its same message from last week saying, "Senator McConnell is still working closely with staff on Senate business and Kentucky matters as he continues his recovery."

The spokesperson added that McConnell will not be voting this week, but that is not unusual because the Senate is currently out of session.

"As of Wednesday of last week, there are no Senate votes, as the Senate is not in session to vote," the spokesperson said.

Sen. Mitch McConnellSen. Mitch McConnell 'not voting this week' as he recovers following hospitalization
The office did not say whether he remains hospitalized or if he's been released.

McConnell was originally admitted to the hospital on June 14.
WLKY spoke to Sen. Rand Paul the day after McConnell was hospitalized, and Paul said he "heard he's doing better," but in the two weeks since, McConnell's office has not disclosed a reason why he was hospitalized, and no additional details about his condition have been released.

   A majority of surveyed voters said his string of controversies has either called into question their support for him or made them disavow him entirely. And Collins is winning 10 percent of voters who would prefer Democrats take control of the Senate.(Danger sign. I don't think that improves)

Despite the controversies and ensuing set of personnel shake-ups in Platner’s high-profile campaign, he still bested Gov. Janet Mills in the Democratic primary earlier this month. In Washington, high-profile Democrats have begrudgingly supported Platner, but they remain focused on defeating Collins.

Platner’s supporters have rallied behind his policies — 24 percent of his would-be voters say they’re motivated by a “positive view of candidate’s policies” — but Collins has the moral advantage, the poll shows. A third of her supporters are rallying behind Collins thanks to a positive view of her character. Meanwhile, a quarter of those supporters said they’ll vote for Collins due to a “negative view” of Platner’s morals and competence.

Still, voters have fresh fears about Collins. Fifty-four percent worry that she would support Trump’s policies too much if reelected. And some of her supporters worry that she’s “too old” to be an effective senator.

“But, and the ‘but’ is huge, [state voters] respect Collins’ moral values, while some have concerns about Platner,” said Don Levy, executive director of the Siena Research Institute.

The poll of 608 likely voters was conducted from June 19-26 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.8 percentage points.

This is Politico

Platner and Collins locked in tight race for Senate seat, new poll shows
Maine voters want to see Democrats take control of the Senate — but are still wary of throwing their weight behind the scandal-ridden Graham Platner.
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/06/29/platner-collins-maine-senate-poll-00980057

Graham Platner and Susan Collins are locked in a neck-and-neck battle for Maine’s Senate seat, a race that could determine which party takes control of the Senate.

In a New York Times/Press Herald/Siena Poll published Monday, 49 percent of likely Maine voters said they support Platner, the progressive newcomer. But that’s only a 2 point lead over Collins, an advantage too slight to reliably forecast the election outcome. The incumbent Republican trailed in major polls during her 2020 reelection bid before securing a decisive win over Democrat Sara Gideon.


By and large, the surveyed voters lean Democratic.(Not sure meaning here. Poll should mirror population so whether mean more than general population I don't know)
 Over half voted for Kamala Harris in 2024; today, they overwhelmingly disapprove of President Donald Trump’s presidency, excoriating how he’s handled the economy, cost-of-living crisis, immigration and the Iran war. Come this fall, most voters prefer that Democrats take control of the Senate.

Even T and pos know there was mostly nobody there why would you go a ferris wheel and sky high bad food.
There was a BBQ festival in DC that had carnival food along with the BBQ.

We'll see what Trump does.

Passed 85-5 in Senate. Overwhelming majorities to override if Trump chooses that route

Johnson sends landmark housing bill to Trump for signature
The bill could become law around July 10, unless the president signs or vetoes the housing legislation.
