WeLoveTrump has followed the story of Senator John Fetterman’s health decline since taking office earlier this year.
After Fetterman’s depression treatment was extended for possibly weeks, rumors began circulating that the senator was essentially “brain dead.”
UPDATE: Duration of John Fetterman’s Clinical Depression Treatment Extended
Pennsylvania Republicans demanded to see Fetterman was "alive and well" on camera.

Yet, Fetterman co-sponsored a bill from the hospital.
A tweet obviously not composed by Fetterman was sent from his account Thursday.
This bill would:
✅Increase employer civil penalties
✅Establish criminal penalties for willful or repeated violation of child labor laws
✅Ensure all working minors are protected regardless of classification

On Monday, Fetterman's staff provided another update on the Pennsylvania senator from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
Sort of.
"Productive morning with Senator Fetterman at Walter Reed discussing the rail safety legislation, Farm Bill and other Senate business. John is well on his way to recovery and wanted me to say how grateful he is for all the well wishes. He’s laser focused on PA & will be back soon," said John Fetterman's Chief of Staff Adam Jentleson.

Jentleson only provided pictures.
"Sen. Fetterman continues to get briefed daily by his staff," Joe Calvello, Fetterman's Communications Director, chimed in.

"Society's expectations and traditional gender roles play a part in why men are less likely to discuss or seek help for their mental health. As always, John continues to challenge the conversation. So human, so kind, so cute," Gisele Barreto Fetterman, the senator's wife, said.

As a reminder, Fetterman's wife fled to Canada after he was hospitalized.
We drove straight into … Canada (and lovely Buffalo NY) (Pro Tip: always have passports ready just in case you have to run away 😅) We talked about lots of hard things and how we will all have to face hard things. About the need to be gentle … with all and with ourselves. pic.twitter.com/0PWQXHrbqT

We also talked about how joy and fun can and must still exist, even when someone we love is in pain. And tomorrow? Who knows. Will try all over again. ❤️

PENN Live noted:
What happens when your husband or father — a senator, to boot — checks into the hospital, and media trucks circle your home?
Pack the kids up and head to Canada, Gisele Fetterman says.
Fetterman recently explained on Twitter she and her kids left Pennsylvania for a family trip to Niagara Falls to get away from the media coverage surrounding her husband’s recovery at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
Sen. John Fetterman, D-PA, checked himself into the Walter Reed Medical Center to receive treatment for clinical depression on Feb. 16, according to his Chief of Staff, Adam Jentleson. He is there on a voluntary basis, while his family navigates how to deal with the grief that comes with such a hospitalization.
Gisele Fetterman said she and her sons ziplined across Niagara Falls, and the family did other scary things together.
Monday's 'update' did very little to prove Fetterman is mentally or physically capable of his duties as a U.S. Senator.
Fetterman's staff provided three photos, which appear staged, to fool the public that he's recovering from clinical depression.
There's no video evidence that Fetterman can hold a conversation with anyone.
What are Fetterman's staff and his wife hiding from constituents?
They haven't been honest about Fetterman's health since he suffered a stroke on the campaign trail.
