@cbsnews: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Thursday that Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) five-week absence from Congress and lack of response to Gov. Andy Beshear's (D-KY) request for an update on his health "conveys a very disturbing inability to fulfill his duties." "I understand that people have a right to medical privacy to deal with their issues, but we do not have the right to disappear from our jobs without explanation," she said. "I don't think any American has ever experienced the ability to just leave your job for over a month with no explanation to your employer."

After 3 days of no call no show people get fired.

Michael Woodland :

If you want a clear update on McConnell, just start the process of replacing him. He will either show up and stop the process or not show up and he will be replaced. The folks who are concealing his condition will be out of the picture.

The things that republicans get away with are beyond comprehension

As someone who went to high school through 9/11, how is a missing US Senator not a matter of national security?

No call, no show = no job, no healthcare.
