Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is alive and on the mend, a handful of his allies made statements Tuesday saying they have spoken to the senator in the past day and discussed a variety of issues.“I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky,” conservative pundit Scott Jennings said on social media. “He’s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes … about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library, and even a little bit of Senate history. I told him we want to see him back at work as soon as possible.”Aides to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) and Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) separately said they’ve spoken to McConnell, too, as the 84-year-old senator has been mysteriously hospitalized for weeks.A Thune spokesperson confirmed to HuffPost that he spoke to McConnell on Monday by phone. The two had “a lengthy and substantive conversation that covered a variety of topics, including national security," NOTUS reporter Al Weaver said on social media.Barrasso and McConnell spoke Tuesday for 20 minutes, according to Weaver, and “caught up about the latest news impacting Senate races, the Graham Platner scandal, and the recent Supreme Court ruling on coordinated spending limits. They also discussed the Senate’s July work period, including the need to pass the NDAA and confirm President Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence. Senator McConnell was fully engaged and is eager to get back to the Senate.”The former Senate majority leader has been in the hospital since June 14, the same day emergency medical services were dispatched to his home and reportedly performed CPR on someone who was unconscious and under cardiac arrest.

As American Support For Israel Plummets, Bibi Netanyahu Blames … TikTokIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believes America’s shifting sentiment on Israel isn’t due to the country’s indiscriminate and yearslong slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians, it’s because of the social media Americans are using to bear witness.Netanyahu told CNN’s Dana Bash Tuesday that Israel monitors American polls, and was “obviously” concerned by a February survey by Gallup that found more Americans now sympathize with Palestinians in the Middle East (41%) than with the Israelis (36%).It’s the first time in 25 years of polling by the survey company that Palestinians have been viewed more sympathetically.But Netanyahu denied there’s any correlation between the war in Gaza and a shift in sentiment, because American support for Israel was falling even before the war began.“You see the decline in support for Israel … and it’s years before, several years before the Gaza war took place, ok?” Netanyahu said. “And you ask, why did that happen?” He continued. “Well the one correlation you see, which is almost a perfect correlation, is the penetration of TikTok and other social media in the United States, and as the penetration increases the support for Israel decreases.”The prime minister then tried to link Israel and the U.S. together by also blaming social media for souring Americans’ perceptions of America itself:“I think that what’s happening here is that there’s several countries and organizations that have penetrated social media and abused them by putting in — bot farms and other things — especially directed at young Americans, to not only hate Israel but also to hate America, and you know what? Those who say they hate Israel, usually end up hating America. They burn our flag and they burn your flag as well.”SCOTUS Justices Elena Kagan, Amy Coney Barrett To Testify In CongressSupreme Court Justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett next week will testify in House and Senate hearings on the court's 2027 budget.Both are set to appear for a July 14 hearing of the House appropriations subcommittee on financial services and general government, and later that day, they'll testify again in the Senate's appropriations subcommittee.It's unusual for justices to publicly testify as part of the annual appropriations process. The last time was in 2019, when Justices Samuel Alito and Kagan appeared before the same House subcommittee.The court is asking for more than $200 million in discretionary funding for the fiscal year beginning on Oct. 1, a 7.2% increase over its 2026 allotment. Most of that funding is for salaries and expenses, but some is for expanding security protections for the justices and their residences.The Supreme Court did not respond to a request for comment.Over 1,200 Ex-DOJ Employees Urge Senators To Reject Todd Blanche For Attorney GeneralMore than 1,200 former Justice Department employees urged U.S. senators on Monday to reject the confirmation of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, citing a “culture of fear” he has instilled within the DOJ. “The consequences of Blanche’s attacks on DOJ’s apolitical workforce radiate beyond the halls of Main Justice, affecting the entire country,” the letter signed by the ex-DOJ staffers read. “They’ve meant that much of the department’s vital work isn’t being done, or isn’t being done as well – leaving communities less safe, Americans’ rights less protected, and our national security more vulnerable.” Read more here: WATCH: Trump Doesn't Know BallThe president shows us all why we shouldn’t listen to his FIFA takes.See All Updates
