Mitch McConnell Missed 60 Senate Votes. Then He Came Back in a Wheelchair | 9/15/26
09/15/2026 | 1h 40 mins.Mitch McConnell just rolled back into the Senate after three months away. The Kentucky Republican is 84. He fell at his Washington home in June, was treated for pneumonia, spent two months between the hospital and rehab, then recovered at home with almost no public appearances. While Kentucky still counted him as its senator, he missed 60 recorded votes — judicial confirmations, housing and Medicare rules, immigration procedures, and votes tied to the war in Iran. On Monday, he arrived in a wheelchair, joked about dodging reporters for two decades, and said it was time to get back to work and finish the job of this Congress. He says he’s not quite at 100% and that childhood polio made the recovery harder. This is not a sentimental homecoming. It’s what a razor-thin Senate looks like when an 84-year-old former leader can disappear for 90 days and still be the vote the conference needs. If showing up is optional for the people writing the laws, don’t be shocked when the country starts treating the job the same way.

After GOP Railroad Commission of Texas nominee Bo French posted a photo from the UT student section and said the problem in Texas is “far worse than anyone imagined,” Talarico quoted John Cornyn and went straight at Paxton: Condemn this “blatant racism,” or “cower to extremists.” Paxton didn’t take the bait. He condemned racism — then pointed at Talarico’s own record. White men as America’s top terror threat. Praying to overcome his own “whiteness.” The substance underneath it is the part polite Texas will not say out loud: Generations of Texans poured money into UT, H-1B pressure at public universities is a live fight, Abbott already told state campuses to pause new H-1Bs, and a lot of families believe Texas kids are losing ground at the school their taxes built. You can argue about the photo. You cannot pretend the enrollment fight is a hallucination.

Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices - Twenty-five years later, one lab three miles from Ground Zero is still identifying 9/11 victims. The lab promised the families it would never give up — and it hasn't. Mark Desire and the NYC medical examiner team are still pulling DNA from tiny bone fragments that the fire, jet fuel, and water nearly destroyed. Last month, the team identified the 1,651st victim. Nearly 7,000 pieces still have no match. The team has gone back to the same bones 10 times, waiting for the science to catch up. A firefighter’s helmet went home. The man who wore it has not. This is what “never forget” looks like when the cameras leave: a sterilized room, a shredded jacket from the day the towers fell, and a vow that did not expire.

Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices - Trump just put a $5,000 check on the midterms. He told the 2026 Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas that if the GOP holds the House and the Senate, every adult citizen gets a “Trump dividend.” He framed it like a company paying shareholders after “tremendous economic success,” and he told the crowd to pretend he’s on the ballot so he can finish the job. Keep the majority, he said, and the next two years include voter ID, energy production, permanent cuts on tips, overtime, and Social Security, plus bills on surprise medical billing, hospital prices, credit-card swipe fees, cashless bail, and the death penalty for large-scale drug dealers. Lose it, and he warned the border, the tax cuts, and the safety go with it. The Post notes the payout would add more than $1.2 trillion to a $40 trillion national debt — and earlier tariff-and-DOGE dividend ideas never landed. The full episode unpacks the speech and the price tag.

Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices - Families of 9/11 just walked a petition into New York City Hall asking Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) to stay away from Friday’s 25th anniversary memorial. More than a dozen relatives of the dead stood on the steps and said the mayor’s presence turns a private hour of grief into a political photo. The Change.org petition started by Giovanni Galante — whose wife, Grace, was killed in the attacks — now has more than 102,000 signatures. They asked for one window: 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the National September 11 Memorial, where the names of 2,983 victims will be read. Mamdani has said he will be there. Cheri Sparacio, who lost her husband, Tom, on the 84th floor of the South Tower, put the line where families want it: “It’s not about his religion or where he came from. It’s about the policies he has today.” They pointed to his chief counsel, Ramzi Kassem, who represented an Al-Qaeda terrorist held at Guantánamo. Charles Wolf said Giuliani and Pataki held their hands after the attacks. “Mayor Mamdani has not shown any of that.” Mamdani says he loves the city and wants the week focused on families and first responders. Families answered that when he walks in, politics walks in with him — and this is their time to grieve.
