Mitch is Mogging in His New Proof of Life Pics

<p>Less than 100 days until the midterms, the House is on a five-week vacation, and nobody has actually seen Mitch McConnell since June 16 — but don&#39;t worry, they released another &quot;proof of life&quot; photo. Kate and Emily break down what happens if McConnell&#39;s seat opens up in Kentucky, why one senator (Utah&#39;s Mike Lee) is holding the Senate hostage over the SAVE Act, and why that bill almost certainly isn&#39;t going anywhere.</p><p>Then: the New York Times report on DNC chair Ken Martin melting down — and the bigger problem behind the drama. The Democratic Party&#39;s national committee is $2 million in debt and took a mortgage out on its own headquarters, while Trump&#39;s super PAC is sitting on $400 million. What does that actually mean for 2026 and 2028? The girls get into it: the DSA and Zohran Mamdani, &quot;safe bet&quot; candidates like Janet Mills, why the establishment keeps making the same play, and why waiting your turn in politics is overrated.</p><p>Plus: Emily achieved inbox zero (4,000 emails deep), Kate visited a giant data center being built in Wisconsin, an Anne Lamott quote for your rusty toolbox of a soul, and the pop culture homework you all assigned us — Netflix&#39;s true crime doc &quot;A Toxic Love Story.&quot; (Spoilers, obviously.) </p><p>And breaking: RHONY&#39;s original cast is coming back, and we WILL be recapping.</p><p>Drink your water. Take your meds.</p>
