D.C. Doctors Sound Alarn, Urge Rapid Move to Remove Trump From Office.
This may be duplicate, since I trash the "Unholy Name" Entered April 30 2026 in the Congressional Record by Senators
Whitehouse and Reed of Rhode Island.
Let me know. I looked on the home page, which blocks nothing.

Thirty-six medical experts have formally warned Congress that President Donald J. Trump is mentally unfit to serve and should be removed from office "with the greatest urgency," saying he "presents a clear and present danger" to the country and the world. The group, made up of neurologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians and other clinicians, points to worsening cognition, grandiose delusions and severely impaired judgment as core concerns. Their statement, now printed in the Senate's Congressional Record, is drawing fresh scrutiny this week as lawmakers and reporters pore over the evidence. The experts frame their intervention as a national security warning rather than a partisan broadside.
What the experts told lawmakers
The full statement, titled "Medical Concerns About President Donald J. Trump and His Fitness for Office," details what the signers describe as observable warning signs. They cite a "marked deterioration in cognitive functioning" and "grandiose and delusional beliefs" that they say have emerged or worsened over time. Because the president remains commander in chief, they argue, those issues create unique risks and justify urgent action. The statement urges that "steps to remove him from office must be undertaken with the greatest urgency" and notes that the text has been entered into the official record, according to the Congressional Record. PDF, page 58.
Who signed it
The submission is backed by 36 physicians and mental health professionals, including neurologists, forensic psychiatrists and other specialists. The roster includes clinicians from Harvard, Columbia, Tufts and George Washington, along with figures such as Eric Chivian, a co-founder of IPPNW and a Nobel Peace Prize recipient. The signers, the statement notes, span a range of political views and professional backgrounds, and their full names and institutional affiliations are listed alongside the filing. That complete signatory list appears with the Whitehouse/Reed submission in the printed record, which details each expert and their institutional ties.

36 Doctors Just Staged the Quietest Coup in American History
The press looked away for a reason.

May 7, 2026
• Marked deterioration in cognitive functioning. (Watch any interview for receipts.)
• Disorganized speech. (Trump calls this the “weave.” Neurologists call this tangentiality.)
• Factual confusions. (Mixing up Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi. Mixing up Vance with Rubio.)
• Episodes of apparent somnolence during critical public proceedings. (Falling asleep every time Rubio speaks.)
• Grandiose and delusional beliefs. (Believing he is Jesus or the Pope, depending on the sundown hour.)
• Severely impaired judgment. (Ones that we are paying for in an estimated $1T war.)
• Disinhibition and perseveration. (If I hear that Hannibal Lecter story one more time, I will eat my arm.)
• Manic behavior. (One hundred and fifty social media posts in a single night.)
The 36 were concerned enough to invoke the Declaration of Geneva — the post-Nuremberg successor to the Hippocratic Oath, which was written specifically because doctors at Nuremberg argued they had only been following orders. They concluded that Donald J. Trump is mentally unfit to be the President of the United States, and that steps to remove him from office must be undertaken with the greatest urgency.

The Hallucinating ChatGPT Presidency

We generally understand how LLM hallucinations work. An AI model tries to generate what seems like a plausible response to whatever you ask it, drawing on its training data to construct something that sounds right. The actual truth of the response is, at best, a secondary consideration.
snip
But over the last few months, it has occurred to me that, for all the hype about generative AI systems “hallucinating,” we pay much less attention to the fact that the current President does the same thing, nearly every day. The more you look at the way Donald Trump spews utter nonsense answers to questions, the more you begin to recognize a clear pattern — he answers questions in a manner quite similar to early versions of ChatGPT. The facts don’t matter, the language choices are a mess, but they are all designed to present a plausible-sounding answer to the question, based on no actual knowledge, nor any concern for whether or not the underlying facts are accurate.
snip
This is not the response of someone working from actual knowledge or policy understanding. Instead, it’s precisely how an LLM operates: taking a prompt (the question about job losses) and generating text based on some core parameters (the “system prompt” that requires deflecting blame and asserting greatness).
The hallmarks of AI generation are all here:
• Confident assertions without factual backing
• Meandering diversions that maintain loose semantic connection to the topic
• Pattern-matching to previous responses (“ripped off,” “billions of dollars”)
• Optimization for what sounds good rather than what’s true

Days of slide rules, nomograms and sliding conversion charts. I save some for shock value! Huntington's four place tables!

So looked up Huntington's four place tables and got this crap.
I so hate the internet.
