It’s been nearly eight weeks since Mitch McConnell has been seen in public.
The 84-year-old senator from Kentucky was rushed to the hospital by ambulance in June, and for obvious reasons, many feared the worst.
But despite rumors to the contrary, McConnell’s wife maintained that he was still alive. And now, Mitch — or someone speaking on his behalf — claims that he’s been released from the hospital and is resting comfortably at home.
“Earlier today, I was discharged from the rehabilitation center to continue my recovery at home,” reads a post on McConnell’s Facebook page:
“Elaine and I are grateful for the many well wishes and support from friends, colleagues, and Kentuckians, and for the attentive care I’ve received from excellent doctors, nurses, therapists, and hospital staff.
“On the advice of my doctors, I’ll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period, and I’ll continue to engage with my staff and colleagues on important Senate business.”
The news comes at the start of a five-week Senate hiatus, so it might be quite some time before McConnell casts another vote.
Not surprisingly, critics and conspiracy theorists have snarkily described the timing as “convenient.”
According to his office, McConnell has been undergoing multiple physical therapy sessions each day focused on improving his strength and reducing the risk of future falls.
Those efforts are especially significant given the senator’s history with childhood polio, which left him with lasting mobility issues. In recent years, McConnell has also experienced several high-profile health setbacks, including multiple falls and widely publicized freezing episodes during press appearances.
His extended absence from the Senate also fueled growing questions about his fitness for office, with some Kentucky political leaders calling for greater transparency regarding his condition.
McConnell did not provide a date for when he expects to resume in-person duties on Capitol Hill.
.McConnell said he plans to remain engaged with his staff and Senate colleagues throughout his recovery.
The Republican senator previously announced that he will not seek reelection when his current term expires, bringing an end to one of the longest and most influential careers in modern Senate history. For now, though, his focus appears to be on continuing his rehabilitation and regaining his strength at home.
Well, we wish Senator McConnell all the best — and we’re glad we don’t need a Ouija board to convey that wish.

If you used social media at all this week, then there’s a very good chance you encountered the first trailer for Primetime, which is set to hit theaters next month.
The film, which stars Robert Pattinson in the lead role, explores the controversial career of Chris Hansen, the NBC journalist who made a name for himself by setting up televised sting operations to expose men who had arranged to meet minors they had met online.
What began as a segment on Dateline: NBC soon spawned its own series, To Catch a Predator, and Hansen soon found himself at the center of intense debates about journalistic ethics and vigilante justice.
For obvious reasons, the trailer has raised questions about what Hansen is doing with his life these days.
And it seems that despite the controversies, he’s still up to his old tricks.
Although many viewers still associate Hansen almost exclusively with To Catch a Predator, the 66-year-old never stepped away from investigative reporting.
After leaving NBC in 2013, Hansen launched several new projects centered on crime reporting, including Hansen vs. Predator and later Takedown with Chris Hansen.
He also founded the streaming platform TruBlu, which focuses on true crime programming and investigative journalism.
He’s also embraced podcasting.
Hansen currently hosts two shows, “Predators I’ve Caught” and “Have a Seat with Chris Hansen,” where he revisits past investigations, interviews guests and discusses ongoing criminal cases.
According to People, new episodes are released twice each week.
The past several years have also brought major changes away from the cameras.
Hansen divorced his first wife, Mary Joan Hansen, in 2020 after nearly three decades of marriage. Their split followed years of highly publicized personal and financial issues, including reports that Hansen was evicted from his New York apartment during the divorce proceedings.
Hansen later downplayed the situation, describing it as a landlord-tenant dispute that received more attention than it deserved.
Just one year later, he married Gabrielle Gagnon, beginning a new chapter in his personal life.
Hansen has also weathered a handful of legal issues since his Dateline days.
In 2019, he was arrested after allegedly writing bad checks connected to promotional merchandise for a crowdfunding campaign. The matter was ultimately resolved.
He also faced a warrant in 2021 after failing to appear in court related to a sting operation. Hansen later said the missed court date resulted from a misunderstanding with his legal team.
Despite those setbacks, Hansen has remained active in the true crime world and continues conducting investigations.
Primetime probably won’t do any wonders for his reputation. But having already survived several scandals surrounding his brand of voyeuristic
