Dingell: ‘You’re not done with me just yet’

DETROIT (AP) – Former Rep. John Dingell has tweeted “you’re not done with me just yet” after a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press the longest-serving member of Congress in U.S. history is receiving hospice care.

Dingell posted the message Wednesday evening. Referring to his wife, Rep. Debbie Dingell, he wrote, “The Lovely Deborah is insisting I rest and stay off here, but after long negotiations we’ve worked out a deal where she’ll keep up with Twitter for me as I dictate the messages.”

He thanked supporters for “all your incredibly kind words and prayers. You’re not done with me just yet.”

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity wasn’t authorized to speak publicly about the 92-year-old Dingell’s condition.
