[Breitbart] Conservative activist Laura Loomer and journalist Desiree Townsend both claimed Monday that Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has been declared “brain dead,” citing unnamed sources.
UPDATE: In response to the claims, a spokesperson for McConnell said the senator continues to improve in the hospital and is working closely with his staff on “Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.”
“Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital. The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session,” the spokesperson told Breitbart News.
The original story continues below.
Loomer wrote on X that, according to a senior source she said was close to the White House, McConnell had been declared brain dead and was not expected to recover.
“High level source close to the White House tells me Mitch McConnell is officially brain dead. He’s not coming back,” Loomer posted.
Townsend later reposted Loomer’s post, saying she had heard the same information from her own sources. She also claimed McConnell’s Capitol Police detail was still at the hospital.
“I have heard the same thing from my sources for days,” Townsend wrote. “At this point, I am at the hospital for when they eventually decide to move cut him off of life support and move his body. His Capitol police detail is still here as of 3:39pm ET.”
It was reported that McConnell had been admitted to a hospital on June 14, though his spokesperson did not disclose the reason for the hospitalization or provide details about his condition. McConnell, 84, is the longest-serving Senate leader in U.S. history and is serving out his final term, which ends in January.
Three days after McConnell was hospitalized, his wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, traveled to Beijing, where she met with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng. During the meeting, Han called for Washington and Beijing to strengthen ties and continue working toward what he described as a more stable U.S.-China relationship.
McConnell’s office did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

^ That's to be expected for a politician of Mitch's stature.

Looks like he’s talking to people. Hard to say what would qualify as proof in these AI days. Maybe they will roll him to the next Senate session in like Capt Pike or the guy the created the Darlek race. I’m good with either.

BREAKING: The Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department released over 1,000 hours of body-worn camera footage in 1,630 videos from the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol event. The videos were released because of an April 2026 court ruling in a DC Freedom of Information Act... pic.twitter.com/li2zjpPSzn
The videos were released because of an April 2026 court ruling in a DC Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit. The videos are available via the Judicial Watch website here and http://www.judicialwatch.org/january6bodycam.
Why did it take a court ruling to pry this footage loose?
And, what is in these 1,630 videos that DC officials fought so hard to keep hidden from the public?
Don’t expect the failed mainstream media to dig through this footage looking for answers. They decided on their January 6 narrative years ago and never looked back.
But now the videos are out. Over 1,000 hours of them. But here we still can't share video clips of Civilian Vigilante.

Early on April 19, 1961, the six B-26 Invaders, painted in Cuban Air Force colors but manned by the eight Alabama and three (perhaps four) Cuban exiles, took off from Puerto Cabezas and headed toward Cuba. The guardsmen were promised air cover from the USS Essex, a U.S. aircraft carrier off the Cuban coast in international waters, but as the bombers arrived over the beachhead at sunrise, Castro's fighter jets lay in wait for them. The two lead B-26s came under attack and the promised air support from the Essex did not materialize. Riley Shamburger and his crewmember Wade Gray were hit and crashed into the water with their plane, and their bodies were not recovered. Further inland, Cuban gunners brought down Pete Ray's bomber. He and crewmember Leo F. Baker survived the crash, only to be killed in a shootout with Cuban soldiers. As the remaining B-26 crews flew out of the area, jet fighters from the Essex finally appeared. In a tragic mix-up, perhaps related to time zones, the jets had arrived one hour too late.
