News outlet mistakenly releases Mitch McConnell memoriam piece
The Hill inadvertently published an article clearly intended to be held until Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) death.Titled A lookback at Mitch McConnell's time in the Senate, the piece was reportedly prefaced with an all-caps editorial warning, DO NOT USE. The article was screenshotted and shared on social media before removal. McConnell, 84, a decades-long Senate titan who previously served as Republican Leader, has been hospitalized since June 14, reports PBS. Limited public details about his condition have emerged, though some sources claim he is recovering. The incident follows unsubstantiated claims from far-right influencer Laura Loomer, who alleged without evidence that McConnell is officially brain dead. No other sources have corroborated her claims. The mishap mirrors a recent NPR error when journalist Nina Totenberg published an article announcing Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's retirement, which has not occurred.Watch the video below.

Chuck Grassley requested records related to Patel’s travel and spending, the FBI director responded in an unusual way. Rather than addressing the broader concerns outlined in Grassley’s letter, first reported by MS NOW, Patel focused on a single detail in the outlet’s graphic that highlighted his reportedly lavish lifestyle.Read more at The Daily Beast.
