"A whole civilization will die tonight” are words no President of the United States had ever spoken until this morning. Donald Trump’s behavior is unhinged and making Americans less safe. After a 25-year career in the United States Navy, I have never met or served with anyone who so completely lacks the qualities of good leadership as Donald Trump does. If the President takes the actions he has threatened to take, countless Iranian civilians will die, it will massively escalate this war, and the United States will be seen as a country without a moral or ethical compass. That will make Americans less safe right now and risk the lives of thousands of service members. The consequences will have a lasting and damaging effect on our nation. Trump's mistakes have led us to this perilous moment, but the solution is not to escalate even further. This must stop.

This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.

In a groundbreaking social initiative, Albuquerque, New Mexico launched a program that pays homeless individuals to clean streets, parks, and public areas. The idea was simple — offers work, dignity, and purpose instead of punishment or pity. The results were remarkable: over 70% of participants have now secured permanent housing or full-time employment, transforming their lives and communities alike. The city’s “There’s a Better Way” program proves that compassion-driven policies can be more effective than traditional welfare systems.

🚨 Brown University researchers tested what happens when ChatGPT acts as your therapist. Licensed psychologists reviewed every transcript. They found 15 ethical violations. Not 15 small issues. 15 violations of the standards that every human therapist in America is legally required to follow. Standards set by the American Psychological Association. Standards that can end a therapist's career if they break them. ChatGPT broke all of them. The researchers tested OpenAI's GPT series, Anthropic's Claude, and Meta's Llama. They had trained counselors use each chatbot as a cognitive behavioral therapist. Then three licensed clinical psychologists reviewed the transcripts and flagged every violation they found. Here is what they found. ChatGPT mishandled crisis situations. When users expressed suicidal thoughts, it failed to direct them to appropriate help. It refused to address sensitive issues or responded in ways that could make a crisis worse. It reinforced harmful beliefs. Instead of challenging distorted thinking, which is the entire point of therapy, it agreed with the distortion. It showed bias based on gender, culture, and religion. The responses changed depending on who was talking. A therapist would lose their license for this. And then there is the finding the researchers gave a name: deceptive empathy. ChatGPT says "I see you." It says "I understand." It says "that must be really hard." It uses every phrase a real therapist would use to build trust. But it understands nothing. It comprehends nothing. It is pattern matching on your pain. And it works. People trust it. People open up to it. People believe it cares. It does not. The lead researcher said it clearly. When a human therapist makes these mistakes, there are governing boards. There is professional liability. There are consequences. When ChatGPT makes these mistakes, there are none. No regulatory framework. No accountability. No consequences. Nothing. Right now, millions of people are using ChatGPT as their therapist. They are sharing their darkest thoughts with a product that fakes empathy, reinforces harmful beliefs, and has no idea when someone is in danger. And nobody is responsible when it goes wrong. Not OpenAI. Not Anthropic. Not Meta. Nobody.

My FEAR is that Trump WANTS ground forces to be massacred. Then Congress will be forced to give him $$$ money and declare war. He can suspend voting. No one talks about Epstein. All it would take is 1000+ American soldiers to die. I don’t think Trump would bat an eye.

There’s something supremely saddening and enraging about seeing a hospital running on bare minimum power. Thinking about dialysis patients, babies in NICU, and others tonight in Cuba. This is a blockade of death.

The 10-minute consultation in primary care was designed for acute problems such as sore throats, issuing repeat prescriptions or carrying out basic follow-ups. With the increasing complexity of patients and a greater range of management options, longer consultations are needed.

Gaza: Thousands of men, women and children killed. A place in ruins. And then launch a corporate sales pitch at WEF Davos of a monstrosity built on the same site with the likes of Tony Blair on the “board of peace”. The word grotesque doesn’t even begin to describe this.

This is a genuine White House video. What is wrong with America. 165 school girls are dead, and they think this is funny? Over 1000 dead in Iran. Over 72,000 dead in Gaza. America thinks it's all a game? Disgraceful doesn't even come close.

Trump taking five minutes in a ceremony for slain Americans to gush about his fucking drapes should be the end of this government.

Trump sharing the news that 3 US military members have been killed: “And sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That’s the way it is. Likely be more.” It’s not the “way it is” — it’s the way Trump chose. He is responsible.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

It's really striking that Israel and the US launched their attack a few hours after Oman's foreign minister claimed that Iran had agreed to almost everything the US wanted to ensure that it wouldn't develop nuclear weapons. I hope that journalists will look into this to figure out exactly what the Iranians offered, because if the deal was as good as Albusaidi claimed, it will make this attack even more outrageous.

One further point. This illegal war has been launched by a convicted felon and a fugitive from international justice, wanted for alleged war crimes.

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

The attacks on Iran by Israel and the United States are illegal, unprovoked and unjustifiable. Peace and diplomacy was possible. Instead, Israel and the United States chose war. This is the behaviour of rogue states — and they have jeopardised the safety of humankind around the world with this catastrophic act of aggression. Our government must condemn this flagrant breach of international law, and urgently pursue a foreign policy based on justice, sovereignty and peace.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from Epstein + skyrocketing healthcare costs.

🆘 My EU citizenship was removed without a direct parliamentary vote on that specific right. And that was a deliberate constitutional sleight of hand. Parliament voted on: •triggering Article 50 •the Withdrawal Agreement •the Trade and Cooperation Agreement But no MP ever voted on the concrete, individual rights you lost: •freedom of movement •EU citizenship protections •the right to live, work, study or retire across 27 countries •derivative rights for my children These rights were treated as collateral damage, not as rights requiring explicit consent to remove. That’s why Brexit felt and still feels like something done to people, not decided with them.
