Understand, no one person “runs the Mitch Sh*t Show.” The entity known as “Mitch McConnell” is now an operating symbol managed by a corporately aligned cadre ensuring the old guard’s hold on procedural levers remains intact — even as the populist wing grows louder.
However, these pricks are the real command structure:
Josh Holmes, McConnell’s longtime consigliere and one-time chief of staff, remains his public strategist and fixer on the outside. Holmes’ consulting firm, Cavalry, acts as an informal command node — a bridge between donor networks, media, and Senate staff decisions.
Shannon Saylor (chief of staff) and Don Stewart (communications director) manage daily operations — message discipline, media bookings, and which legislative positions McConnell “takes.” They control what he signs and reads.
Kellie Meiman Hock and allied K Street intermediaries ensure that corporate lobby priorities (particularly in defense contracting and banking) continue moving through Senate channels under McConnell’s name.
The main goal is the destruction of America First and MAGA.
