Over the weekend, we learned that the injuries Rand Paul sustained when he was assaulted at his home by a neighbor were apparently more serious than initial reports suggested.
This afternoon, Sen. Paul confirmed it:
I appreciate all of the support from everyone. A medical update: final report indicates six broken ribs & new X-ray shows a pleural effusion
