Mitch McConnell: “I know there's some resistance in the Defense Department about the way the intelligence is going to be shifted around.”

So I hate that I’ll miss the fun this year, but I’m sending my best wishes to the St. Jerome community for a successful picnic.

On the advice of my doctors, I’ll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period.

There’s no place I’d rather be on the first Saturday in August than with the good people of western Kentucky, feasting on pork and mutton.

Elaine and I are grateful for the many well wishes and support from friends, colleagues, and Kentuckians, and for the attentive care I've received from excellent doctors, nurses, therapists, and hospital staff.
