## Resource

Mitch McConnell’s in rehab and not returning to the Senate anytime soon — but he’s staying active, directing Senate business remotely while undergoing extensive testing and recovery. His office shut down rumors with a cheerful photo of him and wife Elaine Chao, and he insists he can’t stop working, even from afar. Back on Capitol Hill? We’ll just have to wait and see.
