Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) received medical attention on Capitol Hill after he suffered another fall on Tuesday. POLITICO reported that McConnell, 82, walked out of a Senate GOP lunch with a cut on his face and medical personnel followed the lawmaker into his office. Sen. John Thune (R-SD), who has been elected to serve as the next Republican leader in the upper chamber, assured reporters afterwards that McConnell was alright. “He is fine. He’s in his office. And any other questions about Sen. McConnell, I’ll refer to staff,” Thune said at a press conference. .@SenJohnThune about reports that @LeaderMcConnell fell: "He is fine, he is in his office." pic.twitter.com/5FA0QWeCoy — CSPAN (@cspan) December 10, 2024 McConnell’s office later shared a brief statement with The Daily Wire on the senator’s condition. “Leader McConnell tripped following lunch. He sustained a minor cut to the face and sprained his wrist. He has been cleared to resume his schedule,” a spokesperson said. McConnell, a childhood Polio survivor, announced in February that he would not seek another term as GOP leader in the Senate following a couple of health scares in the preceding months. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE The senator was briefly hospitalized in March 2023 with a concussion after falling at a D.C. hotel, and in the months that followed, he appeared to freeze and struggled to answer questions from the press. After revealing his plans to step aside from leadership, McConnell indicated that he planned to serve out the remainder of his current term in the upper chamber, which ends in January 2027. “I still have enough gas in my tank to thoroughly disappoint my critics and I intend to do so with all the enthusiasm with which they’ve become accustomed,” he said in Senate floor remarks. During a radio interview that followed, he said, “I’m not leaving the Senate. And I’m particularly involved in actually fighting back against the isolationist movement in my own party and so many others as well.” McConnell is the Senate’s longest-serving party leader with more than 15 years under his belt. He is slated to be replaced in the role next month after Thune beat out Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Rick Scott (R-FL) in an internal election that took place in November.

Luigi Mangione, the man charged with murder in the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is fighting extradition to New York, setting off a process that could last weeks, The New York Times reported. Mangione’s lawyer, Thomas Dickey, told the judge in a hearing on Tuesday afternoon that his client “is contesting” the extradition. The suspected assassin was arrested on gun and forgery charges in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday before he was charged with second-degree murder in New York. Now that Mangione has decided to fight the extradition, he is entitled to an evidentiary hearing, which will require the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office to put up a witness. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul will also have to submit a “governor’s warrant” to Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, requesting the extradition, according to the Times. The lawyer told the judge that Mangione was wearing a mask during his arrest because of his fear of COVID. Mangione reportedly began to say, “I bought the mask —” before his lawyer shushed him and said, “No, no. Don’t say a word.” The assassin was masked when he gunned down Thompson, a shooting that was caught on surveillance footage. The NYPD later circulated photos showing a person of interest lowering his mask in the lobby of a Manhattan hostel. NYPD authorities credited those photos as the key to Mangione’s arrest. A person at an Altoona, Pennsylvania, McDonald’s — where the suspect stopped for lunch after getting off a Greyhound bus — recognized Mangione from the photos circulated by the NYPD. The suspect’s lawyer requested the judge to set bail, but the judge refused, and Mangione will be held behind bars in Pennsylvania during his extradition process. While many states consider a premeditated killing first-degree murder, New York reserves the first-degree murder charge for killing for hire, killing a person in law enforcement, killing a witness, killing while serving a long sentence, and killing with torture, according to the Times. First- and second-degree murder convictions in New York can result in life in prison, but the minimum sentence differs from 15 years under second-degree murder and 20 years under first-degree murder. On his way into the courthouse, Mangione was restrained by sheriff’s deputies as he shouted at reporters gathered outside the building.

NewsNation Senior National Correspondent Brian Entin reported that Mangione said, “It’s completely an injustice,” but it’s difficult to decipher the exact quote.

Many of us have gone Wicked and fallen in love with Glinda and Elphaba. It’s a pink and green-world, but we can’t forget where it all started. L. Frank Baum wrote The Wizard of Oz in 1900, and fans fell in love. This led to the beloved motion picture starring Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale in 1939. The ruby red slippers are one of the most essential parts of The Wizard of Oz storyline. The sparkling red shoes create conflict and ultimately help Dorothy escape Oz and return to her family in Kanas. Costumers produced several pairs of ruby red slippers for Judy Garland to wear during the filming of The Wizard of Oz, and a pair recently sold for a record-breaking price. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nikki (@nikkinegotiates) The Ruby Red Slippers From “The Wizard of Oz” Are Rare According to The New York Times, the shoes went up for auction on December 7 during a live auction in Dallas, one of two pieces of original memorabilia from the film. Experts anticipated the shoes garner a hefty amount of money, but no one could have predicted how much. Experts estimated the shoes would sell for about $10 million. Instead, the ruby red slippers from The Wizard of Oz sold for $28 million. Joe Maddalena, executive vice president of Heritage Auction House, said the slippers are among only four known pairs still in existence. “There is simply no comparison between Judy Garland’s ruby slippers and any other piece of Hollywood memorabilia,” he said. While the ruby slippers took the top prize, the Wicked Witch of the West hat worn by Margaret Hamilton in The Wizard of Oz fetched nearly $3 million the same day. The auction house did not disclose the buyer’s identity but confirmed that they paid $32.5 million, including tax and fees, for the ruby red slippers.
