#USpol, April 30, 2026: 36 doctors went on Congressional record, invoking their duty to the "Declaration of Geneva—the successor to the Hippocratic Oath that binds us to the humanitarian principles of medicine since the Nuremberg trials", and unambiguously declared Donald Trump unfit for office.

I started an AI simulation last night - two conservatives and two progressives work together to increase the US democracy from a score of 37 out of 100 to something that works better for _all_ people not just the wealthy. They agreed on 7 proposals to bring the score up to 60%. If only it were that easy.

Trump’s daily declarations about how the war is over or almost over or will be over in 30 seconds or there's a ceasefire hiding under the next rock or whatever? That’s all non-information, just a conveyor belt of nothingburgers he feeds the press for them to dutifully regurgitate.
But •this•? This is actual news.

Amazing what can happen in a week.
Ref:
Why not eliminate single-representative districts and switch to some form of proportional representation? (Or just go with nationwide independent redistricting commissions.) Too much time and resources are spent on gerrymandering and redistricting legal warfare.
But of course, those that benefit under the current system (*cough* GOP *cough*) won’t change it.

I saw an article from The Guardian titled "I've spent a decade fighting Trump. Here are six lessons."
Unfortunately I read it. As someone who saw this coming the moment Trump came down the elevator, who started organizing hard after he won the Republican nomination, I have some notes.

It's only political violence if it's against wealthy conservatives. Otherwise it's just sparkling 2nd amendment rights.

If I’m a screenwriter writing this US full invasion of Cuba scenario: Cuba acquires 20–50 Shahed drones (from Iran, Russia, or Venezuela) and launches them in a saturated wave, succeeds in hitting Florida 90 miles away with at least one.
Hitting U.S. soil is huge escalation and shifts everything.

Potus issued what he called a “final” ultimatum to Tehran, who killed thousands of its own people earlier this year for protesting, to reopen the strait and agree to Washington’s terms or face attacks against Iran’s civilian infrastructure, including bridges and power plants.
They killed thousands of their own, not sure leaving their own in the dark with a longer commute is gonna move the needle there, Nostra-Dumbass.

Reducing the presence of the US military in Germany would be a top ten failure of military, national security and international relations not only in US history, but quite possibly world history.
The US abandoning our German allies and Europe would be so catastrophic as to strain the meaning of the word.
potus is so clearly unfit to lead. potus endangers every American, and human on earth, even by posting this.
On the face of it, building a ballroom to increase security is completely ridiculous.
If one went to a psychiatric hospital and said, “I feel like we need to build a ballroom to keep people safe,” you’d likely be evaluated and maybe held on a 72 hour hold.
Not one penny should go to potus’ illegally conceived personal fun house emotional support ballroom.
Wanna talk bunkers? Ok maybe. Ballroom? Get stuffed.
