Details On Lindsey Graham's Heart Condition That Led To His Death

FoxNews— The heart condition linked to Sen. Lindsey Graham’s reported death, aortic dissection, is a rare but life-threatening emergency that occurs when the inner layer of the aorta—the body’s largest artery—tears, allowing blood to flow between the layers of the vessel wall. It can strike without warning, although risk factors include older age, high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, connective tissue disorders, smoking, and a family history of heart disease. Symptoms, when they occur, typically include sudden, severe chest or upper back pain described as tearing or ripping, along with shortness of breath, fainting, or stroke-like symptoms. Because the condition can rapidly lead to internal bleeding, organ damage, or death, immediate emergency treatment is critical. Experts emphasize that controlling blood pressure, avoiding smoking, and managing cardiovascular risk factors are the best ways to reduce the likelihood of this often unpredictable condition.

Justice.Gov— A Florida man is facing charges after authorities say he attempted to sell the shell of a protected sea turtle for $2,000 through Facebook Marketplace.

Today's Holidays

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

Gruntled Workers Day

Gruntled Workers Day is that rare national moment when the workforce stops pretending they’re “living the dream” and admits the dream has a 6 a.m. alarm and a broken printer. You show up, you do the bare minimum with professional eye contact, and you celebrate morale the way it actually exists: quietly, grudgingly, and with a spreadsheet open so nobody asks questions. There are no parades, just synchronized sighing, passive-aggressive potlucks, and a sacred hour where everyone agrees the real holiday is not getting a “quick call” at 4:59. It’s not about joy, it’s about solidarity—the kind that forms when you realize your boss’s “we’re a family” speech is just a budget cut wearing cologne.
