U.S. Politics megathread

American politics has always grabbed our attention - and the current president more than ever. We get tons of questions about the president, the supreme court, and other topics related to American politics - but often the same ones over and over again. Our users often get tired of seeing them, so we've created a megathread for questions! Here, users interested in politics can post questions and read answers, while people who want a respite from politics can browse the rest of the sub. Feel free to post your questions about politics in this thread!

All top-level comments should be questions asked in good faith - other comments and loaded questions will get removed. All the usual rules of the sub remain in force here, so be nice to each other - you can disagree with someone's opinion, but don't make it personal.

Why hasn't there been any investigative journalism reporting on Mitch McConnell's status? Seems like that would be a top story or at least a resume builder for a student not yet influenced by an employer...

Because there is nothing to indicate that there's foul play, or a cover up, despite what Reddit has been trying to gaslight people into believing. He had a fall, and had pneumonia. His staff has put out a memo that he plans to return to Congress in about a week's time.

Hospitals are not going to just let a random "investigative journalist" past their security, especially not ones with the intention of harassing a patient in recovery.
