Thirty senior American psychiatrists and mental health experts have signed a statement declaring President Donald Trump mentally unfit to serve, warning that his sole authority over U.S. nuclear weapons poses a danger to the entire world.
According to the doctors, Trump’s behavior over the past year has shown “objectively observable signs of serious medical concern.”
They cited:
— a significant decline in cognitive functioning,
— episodes of apparent drowsiness during critical public appearances,
— severely impaired judgment and impulse control,
— loss of self-control,
— and grandiose or delusional beliefs, including claims of infallibility and imagery portraying himself as a figure with a “divine mission.”
The physicians argue that Trump now represents a “clear and present danger” and called for urgent action to remove him from office.
“It is our expert opinion that Donald J. Trump is mentally unfit to be president of the United States,” the statement reads.
The letter invokes the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which allows the vice president and cabinet to declare a president incapable of performing the duties of office.
One of the signatories, Dr. Henry David Abraham of Tufts University School of Medicine, warned about “the buildup of psychiatric symptoms in a person who has sole authority to launch nuclear weapons.”
He pointed to Trump’s April 7, 2026 Truth Social post regarding Iran, in which Trump wrote:
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”
According to the doctors, the warning signs include:
— grandiosity without restraint,
— paranoia,
— impulsivity,
— vindictiveness,
— uncontrolled rage,
— and a sense of omnipotence in a man with unchecked control over nuclear weapons.
Psychiatrist Bandy Lee, another signatory, said the issue now “transcends politics and concerns the survival of humanity itself.”
The statement was submitted to the U.S. Congressional Record by Democratic Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed.
The doctors emphasized that their declaration is “medical, not political,” and includes professionals with both conservative and liberal views.

👁 US Central Command has confirmed additional strikes on Iranian targets, saying the action was taken in response to an alleged Iranian attack on commercial shipping near the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian state media reports explosions in the southern port city of Sirik, with officials saying projectiles struck near key infrastructure including a telecommunications tower. The city sits close to one of the world’s most critical shipping routes.
The escalation comes just days after both sides signed a memorandum of understanding intended to reduce tensions, but competing interpretations of its terms—particularly around freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz—have fuelled renewed confrontation.
Officials and analysts say both sides are now effectively operating under conflicting readings of the agreement, with accusations of violations and counter-violations accelerating military action.
US officials insist the strikes are a measured response aimed at protecting commercial shipping, while Iranian officials accuse Washington of undermining the agreement and escalating the conflict.
As exchanges continue, concerns are growing that the already fragile understanding could collapse entirely, further destabilising the region.
The United States is neither omnipotent not omniscient. We are only 6% of the world’s population & we cannot impose our will upon the other 94% of mankind. We cannot right every wrong or reverse each adversity. There cannot be an American solution to every world problem. - JFK

Trump says he will repair National Mall reflecting pool after July 4 https://t.co/9JEHVtjWQV
Trump has blamed dark-of-night saboteurs for the issues with the project. While no evidence has emerged to support Trump's claim that a vandal cut a 350-foot (107-meter) gash in the pool, a National Park Service official said in a sworn court statement late on Wednesday that on June 9, U.S. Park Police examined apparent intentional damage to the pool.

But it failed to address the most important issue — the hardship faced by troops who have been serving since early 2022, and in some cases, long before that. Among the key grievances are uncertainty about the future, low pay for troops serving in rear areas, and the lack of mechanisms to protect personnel from poor service conditions within their units.

The strikes, which hit Project 15310 cable-laying ships the Volga and Vyatka and caused "a massive fire on board," were part of President Volodymyr Zelensky's 40-day operation to "exert pressure on Russia," according to the SBU. The agency said the Russian cargo-passenger ferry Petropavlovsk, which was 96% completed, was also struck.

"We are very much, I think, in the lead," O'Sullivan said, noting that on some aspects of EU-Russia trade, like energy imports, some "thought (decoupling) would be unlikely ever to happen."
Of the nearly 60 billion remaining, the EU is not aiming necessarily to ban all of it.
"It largely consists of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, things for which we have humanitarian exceptions, plus a certain amount of agricultural goods, which we have not wanted to cut back on because it doesn't really affect the war machine," O'Sullivan said.
Poland’s Foreign Minister @radeksikorski:
“We have F-16s, we have F-35s, we have Abrams, we have HIMARS and we have an army that will fight.
If Putin wants a fight, if Ukraine isn’t good enough for him, we'll do what we've always done”
Russian military personnel supported the Russian soldier Alexander Lunin, who demanded a meeting with Putin, threatening a military coup.
The Russian military stated that they are “ready to turn their weapons against those who cause them pain.”
Lunin stated that he intends to tell Putin about mass torture and extortion of money in the Russian army.

Today, no one on Earth can say that we are not fighting for Crimea or that we have forgotten about Crimea. Every day proves that Ukraine remembers every part of its land, every one of its people, and is truly fighting to ensure justice for our entire state and every integral part of it.
Russia brought its war to Ukraine, starting nowhere other than Crimea, and now, with our actions – medium-range sanctions against the Russian occupier, our long-range sanctions plan, and all other forms of pressure on the aggressor – we are doing everything to force Russia to end the war and restore justice. And it is Crimea that is at the center of this policy of ensuring justice. Russia turned Crimea into a launchpad for aggressive operations against other parts of our country and against other nations. For a very long time, Russia has tried to normalize its war – to make Ukraine, all of Europe, and the world accept that its aggression supposedly cannot be stopped and that justice supposedly cannot be restored.
Today, Ukraine is depriving Russia of this launchpad and drawing a line under its attempts to normalize war. And in doing so, we remember that justice for Ukraine also means justice for the Crimean Tatar people – a people forced to endure deportation and decades of oppression, a people who were able to return to their homeland, but whose home the Russians tried to steal again, a people who have preserved their vitality and remain an inseparable part of our society.
Today, as we honor the blue banner with the golden tamğa – this proud flag that unites the entire Crimean Tatar people – we affirm that Ukraine is fighting for itself and all its lands, defending justice for itself and all its people – for everyone who calls Ukraine and our Crimea their home. We must stop Russian aggression. We must bring freedom back to all those who are currently in Russian captivity. We must guarantee security and a reliable peace for the entirety of our state and all our people.

Glory to Ukraine!
🇺🇦 Ukraine has begun licensed serial production of Octopus interceptor drones
▪️ Company Unwave closed the first state contract with the Defense Procurement Agency for the supply of Octopus interceptors. The Ministry of Defense transferred licenses for this model to several manufacturers simultaneously — Unwave, TAF Industries, and “General Chereshnya” (Генерал Черешня) — to rapidly increase volumes.
▪️ Within the framework of distributed production, the agency has already contracted 8,000 units for the front. The Octopus develops speeds of more than 300 km/h, operates at altitudes up to 5 km, and uses artificial intelligence to target on the final leg.
▪️ According to developers, the cost of the interceptors is less than 10% of the price of Shahed-136 kamikaze drones (unit price less than $5000), which Russia uses by the hundreds daily to strike Ukraine’s energy sector and rear.
