MAGA Firebrand Sparks Fresh McConnell Health Speculation

Elizabeth Frantz/REUTERSSen. Mitch McConnell is facing a fresh round of scrutiny after a MAGA firebrand cast the revelation about his health crisis as a “national security issue.” “I think this whole situation surrounding Mitch McConnell just became far more serious,” Kylie Jane Kremer, the executive director of the MAGA organization Women for America First, wrote in a lengthy post on X. After McConnell’s office spent weeks dodging inquiries from the press about his health, an emergency personnel call revealed last week that the 84-year-old senator had received CPR following an apparent heart attack on June 14. His team later said that he has been recovering at a hospital.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Justin Verlander Is Looking For His Wheels

The Father's Day crowd in downtown Detroit was likely unanimous in its disappointment that Keider Montero was on the hill for the Tigers. It's nothing personal against Keider, but until a few days prior, this game against the White Sox was looking far more momentous. Justin Verlander, finally healthy again, would be appearing for the first time at home in a Tigers uniform since he was traded to Houston in 2017. Except Verlander wasn't quite healthy again. Despite a couple of rehab outings with the Toledo Mud Hens earlier this month, ramping up to his MLB return after just one bad start back on March 30, JV had to be scratched with a hamstring injury—a different ailment than the hip problem that was previously keeping him away. This new issue doesn't sound like a minor setback. In fact, it raises questions about whether the 43-year-old has finally hit the end of his career. This is not a matter of days, manager A.J. Hinch said. It's a matter of weeks. We're going to need a full rehab process to get him back to throwing again.

Depression

That was why Tom Kean says he was away and hospitalized for 4 months. Good he found the help he needed, though I bet we'll be treated to about 5 days of people praising his bravery and discussing mental illness as if it's an actual real and bad thing, who will then go back to talking about it being a fake thing if suffered by people who can't take 4 months off. I suspect the legislative record of Tom Kean (R) on related issues is exactly what you would expect, but really even if not, the (R) says enough.
