As most of you have probably seen by now, Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-OH), the first black congresswoman from Ohio, suffered an inoperable brain aneurysm last evening and is in grave condition in a Cleveland-area hospital.

The Cleveland Plain-Dealer and CNN began reporting about 30 minutes ago that Tubbs Jones had died -- which we noted in the news section to the right there -- but in a press conference just now at the hospital, a doctor made clear that she remains in critical condition.

A terrible situation made worse by the confusion.
