A post announcing McConnell's death was published by a parody account spoofing the real account Breaking 911. The spoof account has a disclaimer which says, "Parody artist. If you fell for my bait, you owe me eight dollars." There has been no reporting Senator McConnell ied. https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2025/02/fact-check-senator-mitch-mcconnell-has-not-died-false-report-posted-by-prank-account.html

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1891716012841582903
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
