The spokesman did not specify why the former New York City mayor, who is 81, had been hospitalized, or which hospital admitted him.

President Donald Trump on Sunday confirmed Giuliani was hospitalized, in a post that took political shots at Democrats.

"Our fabulous Rudy Giuliani, a True Warrior, and the Best Mayor in the History of New York City, BY FAR, has been hospitalized, and is in critical condition," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"What a tragedy that he was treated so badly by the Radical Left Lunatics, Democrats ALL — AND HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING! They cheated on the Elections, fabricated hundreds of stories, did anything possible to destroy our Nation, and now, look at Rudy. So sad!" Trump added.

6. Hey NYT, there is no such thing as "critical but stable" condition

I worked in healthcare PR for a very long time. It was one of my and my colleagues pet peeves. "Stable" is not a condition - they are critical, serious, fair, and good.

Just passing along some info to our DU family.

Also, what did everyone have for dinner tonight?

9. I wish I had a garden.

When I was in college I studied in England and loved how all the houses and brownstones had immaculately landscaped, beautiful gardens.

Best I can do is some house plants and a hydroponic set up for herbs, but it has alas died.

It's really more a patio with a lot of trees around it. I have a black thumb and it's Florida so bugs and heat.

I made blistered green beans last night - had them in a restaurant last week and wondering where they've been all my life.

13. It's also that way in the Associated Press style book which makes it all the more egregious for a news org to use it.

17. It likely means that he's in ICU, but vitals are doing OK with interventions.

He will iikely be weaned from oxygen.

Maybe he needs dialysis? Who knows?

I think he also has a history of prostate cancer. My dad did fine for decades and collapsed and went into a coma one day. (Don't think that's the case here) But I guess it's possible that he is having complications from that. The stuff will spread to your bones.

In my dad's case, a CT scan showed that it was everywhere. The end was two days later.
