Is he up for election this mid term or next time out. Going have to cover his death up for 2 years if it’s the latter and I know but that’s one conspiracy that’s just bollocks.

The main issue is timing. As Matty says, the Nov elections already include a race to replace him in the next congress. The issue is if there is enough time to fit in a special election, and for it to not confuse the voters preparing to vote in the regular election, for someone to be voted in to finish out his term.
The conspiracy theory is based on the idea they would rather leave the seat vacant than fill it with Massie. Its the difference between the loss of a vote vs the introduction of a “trouble maker” and so every week they can extend this out makes it that much harder to organize a special election.

Let’s be honest a dead Mitch wouldn’t be too much different from the last 10 years.

…If they are keeping him alive on a ventilator, would it be just to secure/gain his vote/s by proxy through his wife maybe… 
Apparently she is already in China talking business on his behalf

In March, ProPublica interviewed current and former national security officials across party lines who said the discarding of civilian protections is part of a broader remaking of the military around two key principles: more aggression, less accountability.
By the time of the Iran school strike, current and former personnel told ProPublica, the protection mission had been slashed by about 90%, leaving just a handful of staffers to monitor civilian harm issues even as the Defense Department accelerated the strike tempo across swaths of Africa and the Middle East.

Disturbing new allegations accuse Republicans of hiding Mitch McConnell’s health status in order to prevent a special election that could put Trump’s enemy Thomas Massie in the Senate!
This seems INCREDIBLY shady…
Independent journalist Desirée Townsend laid out the disturbing case with clarity:
“Senator Mitch McConnell has now been hospitalized for three weeks. The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated, especially given that his wife, Elaine Chao, appeared in China just days after his hospitalization to meet with high-ranking Chinese officials.”
“The question now is about national security: if Senator McConnell has been unable to independently perform his duties, what safeguards exist to ensure classified intelligence briefings, defense appropriations information, or other sensitive congressional matters could not be accessed, discussed, or shared by individuals operating behind the scenes? And given the timing of Chao’s meeting with China’s vice president, what exactly was discussed?”
These are important questions that we NEED answers for.
Mitch McConnell has not been seen in public in over three weeks, nor have we had any update on his health after he suffered cardiac arrest, was given CPR, and then hospitalized.
Curiously, his wife Elaine Chao, who is not a government official, suddenly flew to China just three days after the incident – meaning that the person with power of attorney over his affairs is out of the country, meaning there is nobody to declare him brain-dead if he is indeed in a coma or otherwise mentally unfit to do his job, which it was unclear that he was capable of doing before.
Is she hiding in China to keep him alive as a vegetable?
In Kentucky, a special election to replace a Senator will NOT be called if it’s closer than 3 months till the next election, and that date is August 3rd.
If a special election was called, Trump’s vocal critic Thomas Massie would certainly run and likely win – which would be a HUGE headache for Trump and his agenda. If he didn’t win, he would split the vote, allowing a Democrat like Charles Booker to fill the seat.
That’s why they’re trying to conceal his condition as long as possible.
Either way, this is absolutely unacceptable. Mitch McConnell is the chair of the important Senate Rules Committee.
We cannot allow Republicans to just lie to the American people and treat their jobs like its a position they OWN, especially when so much is at stake and one vote could change history forever.
Republicans need to tell us what the hell is going on with Mitch McConnell, ASAP.

Rahm Emanuel’s Israel Speech Shows Where American Politics Is Headed.
'This is not Zohran Mamdani or Ilhan Omar speaking. Emanuel has been an engine of centrist policymaking and political position since the 1990s. He unambiguously denounces Hamas and the killings on Oct. 7, 2023 and says the Palestinian leadership has been corrupt for decades. Words he regards as a form of tough love for the Israeli people — and tough non-love for Netanyahu — now reflect mainstream Democratic thinking. The U.S.-Israeli relationship “cannot stand or survive as it has been,” Emanuel is expected to argue. “To maintain the strength of our ties we need significant changes and a new direction.”

Excellent, more voices like this one are dearly needed. It could make a difference in the long term.

One of the biggest criticisms of Netenyahu is that he made support for Israel’s relationship with the US a partisan issue by the way he explicitly partnered with the Republicans during the Obama years. He has finally righted that wrong and made it bipartisan again

Everything about the Planter situation is a mess. Even beyond the situation of the candidate for a key race that is essential for the Dems’ hopes of winning back the senate being a burning train reck, the internecine fights that got us here and what it reveals is so depressing.
The centrist establishment types who supported Mills have i such an ugly way kept refusing to acknowledge that Planter’s legitimacy came from the fact that he crushed Mills in the polls and subsequently crushed her by a bigger margin in the primary. The fights they kept wanting to have with supporters of Planter revealed in a really ugly way their lack of regard for actual voters as if they can argue amongst themselves about what is right and decide for the people of Maine who should be standing.
But now we have a whole collection of people who have boosted him and defended him at every turn now deciding at exactly the same time that this is line that cannot be crossed and are demanding he pull out all using exactly the same language to demand it. The rapidity of this and the level of coordination makes it feel way too stage managed for it to be an authentic reaction to a new revelation.
