US senator Mitch McConnell on Sunday revealed for the first time that a fall led to his hospitalization, breaking the silence about the Kentucky Republican’s condition after weeks of mounting speculation about his health.

The statement included a smiling picture of McConnell with his wife, Elaine Chao, a tacit response to speculation online that he had died or was incapacitated. McConnell held a copy of Sunday’s Washington Post sports section in his hand.

    I’m not a mod and my opinion does not carry any authority, but I think there’s an argument to be made against editorialising titles under any circumstances.

    If you allow editing titles so long as it doesn’t change the meaning, then that opens a whole subjective debate about what changes change the meaning.

    If it doesn’t change the meaning, then what’s the point of the change?
