Forensic psychologist says new McConnell photo is littered with 'red flags'

Sen. Mitch McConnell's this week released another photo claiming to show him on the road to recovery, but according to one professional psychologist, the photo is still littered with "red flags" that cast doubt on his condition.McConnell has been hospitalized since mid-June after reportedly being found unconscious at his home. Due to his office's lack of transparency about his condition, conspiracy theories have exploded about his true health status, including claims that he is close to death or dead already, and that his status is being hidden to prevent a special election for his Senate seat.In the latest statement released by his office, McConnell claimed that he was still undergoing intensive physical therapy at home after being discharged from the hospital, and was not yet cleared by his doctors to return to the Senate.In a new video reacting to the photo, Dr. John Paul Garrison, a licensed clinical and forensic psychologist with a specialty in body language, highlighted the numerous "red flags" that were still evident in the photo.First and foremost, Garrison noted that the composition of the photo was deliberately chosen to keep McConnell's hands out of frame, to hide any possible "edemas" that they might show, or anything else concerning about them. He also noted that, in general, the photo was designed to answer as few questions about the senator as possible, and communicate only that he is alive and smiling."They don't want you to ask any other questions; they don't want to give any other information," Garrison said.He also noted that, just like in the first photo, McConnell and his wife are looking in two different directions, a notable point of concern. However, this time around, he admitted that it was much less obvious, and that a casual viewing of the photo would not suggest anything was wrong with where they were looking. Chao, he explained, appeared to be properly looking at the camera being used to take the photo. McConnell, in contrast, appeared to be looking instead at the person taking the photo."Once again, this is the best that they could do," he explained. "It doesn't seem that they're able to get him to be with it enough to take a decent photo."Chao, Garrison observed, also appeared to be applying a good amount of pressure as she held her husband's arm in the photo. This suggested that she was putting in effort to keep him still, either because he could not manage to do so himself, or because he might be struggling to sit up properly."The amount of pressure that she has on his arm right there is not affection," Garrison argued. "This is not demonstrating closeness. This is demonstrating that she is providing stability."McConnell also appeared to have the top button on his shirt undone, despite typically having his shirts buttoned all the way up. Garrison said that this could be a sign that his team wanted to have that area of his body easily accessible, which could be for a number of medical reasons. It could also be because the senator would not be comfortable with it done up all the way."I think that tells you just how precarious this situation is," Garrison continued. "And to use the word I used last time, just how fragile he actually is. I think that McConnell is so fragile and so frail that they did some very, very subtle trickery to try to show some degree of liveliness. I do think that this is a very, very carefully positioned picture, and it doesn't show robustness or strength. It just shows that he is alive, basically."

'Conspicuous move' by John Roberts that 'breaks from procedure' flagged by court watcher

It was a small, almost bureaucratic detail — two Supreme Court opinions, released simultaneously, physically bound together with a rubber band in the press room.But according to CNN's Joan Biskupic, that gesture may be one of the clearest signals Chief Justice John Roberts has sent about how he wants the public to understand his approach to Donald Trump's presidency."When Roberts issued the opinion providing new power to fire independent regulators, favoring the Trump position, Roberts delivered a separate decision blocking Trump from immediately removing Lisa Cook, a governor on the Federal Reserve," Biskupic wrote."Breaking from usual court procedures, the two opinions, one giving Trump a win, one a loss, were published simultaneously on the court’s website," Biskupic added. "In the press room, the distributed opinions were held together by a rubber band — another conspicuous move to ensure that one was not read without the other."The message went beyond its meaning to the Federal Reserve, which investors had been watching with intense interest, but was instead intended to highlight Roberts’ message of independence, Biskupic wrote.Roberts didn't want the agency-firing win to be read in isolation, without the Fed carve-out attached. Taken alone, the first ruling could be understood as a sweeping expansion of presidential removal power — exactly the kind of unchecked authority critics worry the Roberts Court has been handing Trump for a decade.Bound together with the Cook decision, the message shifts. The president gets broad power over most agencies, but not unlimited power, and not over the Federal Reserve specifically, which the Court described as following a "distinct historical tradition" exempting it from full presidential control.In other words, Biskupic wrote, the rubber band was a way of forcing a single narrative onto two opinions that might otherwise be read as contradictory or, worse, as evidence the court simply defers to Trump whenever it can.By physically tying a win to a limit, Roberts seemed to be asserting that the court still draws lines, even as it hands the presidency more tools than it has ever had, she added.The gesture arrives against the backdrop of a broader pattern granting Trump immunity from prosecution, curtailing nationwide injunctions, expanding removal power, and a string of decisions that have structurally strengthened the executive branch under Trump specifically.Public approval of the court has fallen to a record low of 33 percent, according to a new Gallup poll — with even Republican support dropping sharply since last year."In the birthright citizenship case, the chief justice likely wanted a stronger majority and more forceful public signal on this Trump challenge. Still, with five votes, he got what he needed," Biskupic wrote. "After he read a brief oral summary of the ruling from the courtroom bench on June 30, he looked relieved. His final remarks of the sitting, recognizing retiring staffers, were lighthearted.""The decision in the birthright case closed out a turbulent 2025-26 session, in the second year of Trump’s second presidency," she added. "Two more years to go."
