McConnell caregiver flees when pressed on camera about senator’s mystery recovery
An in-home caregiver fled from a reporter’s questions after leaving Sen. Mitch McConnell’s house.
The woman was approached by independent journalist Nicholas Ballasy outside the Republican senator’s home and briefly answered questions as she arrived to care for the ailing 84-year-old, who has not been seen publicly since he was hospitalized June 14 following a serious fall.
“No, I am a home care, home caregiver,” the woman said, and the reporter asked if she had been there before. “No, this is my first time. Now I can go?”

Trump redoubles effort to shrink recommended vaccines ahead of midterm elections
It is unclear whether the latest effort will withstand legal challenges.
President Donald Trump on Monday reignited his effort to overhaul the government’s vaccine recommendations with an executive order directing federal agencies to reduce the number of recommended vaccines children get and spread the shots out over more doctors appointments.
The move comes months ahead of the midterm elections on an issue that Trump’s own pollsters have warned is unpopular, but that the president has long shown a personal interest in. The president’s endeavors have been thrown into high gear by his allegiance with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has questioned vaccine safety for decades.
