🚨NEW: Sen. Mitch McConnell’s team released yet another hospital photo, and apparently they forgot that some of us grew up doing the “What’s Wrong With This Picture?” puzzles in Highlights magazine.
What’s wrong with this photo?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This photo was not released by McConnell’s team. The only official recent photo (July 12) shows him with his wife and that day’s newspaper. This one appears to be an AI-generated meme, with inconsistencies like mismatched room numbers noted widely.

#Cuba to privatize state companies; opens banking & energy to foreign & private capital. The PM announced some other significant steps but questions remain about legal framework & gov capacity to implement the reforms plus what about a democratic opening?

President @DiazCanelB:
"Our country is facing a critical moment, threatened as never before by imperialism, which once again believes it can subdue us and put an end to the Revolution.
To that end, and before the eyes of the world, in violation of every norm of international law, the U.S. government is committing an act of genocide that imposes terrible restrictions on the daily lives of our people.
The perverse manner in which the #US is carrying out a plan against #Cuba aimed at provoking a humanitarian crisis throughout the nation—with the grave effects already beginning to be felt by children, the elderly, pregnant women, people with disabilities, and, in general, our entire people without exception—can only be called a crime against humanity."
Presidente @DiazCanelB:
"La Patria vive horas cruciales, amenazada como nunca antes por el imperialismo, que cree una vez más que podrá doblegarnos y acabar con la Revolución. Para ello, y frente a los ojos del mundo, violando todas las normas del Derecho Internacional, el Gobierno de Estados Unidos comete un acto de genocidio que impone terribles limitaciones a la vida cotidiana de nuestro pueblo.
No puede llamarse de otra forma que crimen de lesa humanidad la manera perversa en que #EEUU ejecuta contra #Cuba un plan dirigido a provocar una crisis humanitaria en toda la nación, con los graves efectos que ya comienzan a apreciarse en niños, ancianos, embarazadas, discapacitados y, en sentido general, en todo nuestro pueblo sin excepción".

Not enough people are talking about this.
A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there.
But the story of how he got it is even worse.
County staff told commissioners that rejecting the name change would put state transportation funding at risk. DeSantis has already removed state attorneys and school board members who dared to cross him. That is the reality the Democratic commissioner who cast the deciding vote was living in when she made her choice: hand Donald Trump control of a public airport or watch Florida Republicans strip funding from the very people she was elected to represent.
That is absolutely insane.
Florida Republicans handed Trump a money machine and called it a naming rights deal, and the people of Palm Beach County never got a say in any of it.

Let us learn to be rich in a different way: more attentive to relationships, more intent on valuing the common good, more attached to the local area, more grateful in welcoming and integrating those who come to live with us.
