By courting Belarus dictator Lukashenka, the US has gotten 500 political prisoners out of prison. That’s something. By energizing a second track - with the people of Belarus - the US can do even more to advance its interests & freedom. atlanticcouncil.org/dispatches/how…

There is a high probability that Ukrainian drones/missiles will appear over Moscow during the May 9 parade.

Good. The strategic goals (as stated on Feb 28th) should be achieved. Iran can never have a nuclear weapon, cannot have a ballistic missile shield capable of reaching the United States to serve a cover to build a nuclear weapon, cannot have a navy to use against the strait of Hormuz, or terrorist armies across the middle east to deploy against Americans and American interests.

In the phone call today between Rubio and Wang Yi, Wang explicitly linked US policy toward Taiwan with potential US-China cooperation. “The Taiwan question concerns China’s core interests and is the biggest risk point in China-U.S. relations. The U.S. side should honor its commitments, make the right choice, open up new space for China-U.S. cooperation, and make due efforts for world peace.”

22 years that have transformed Estonia while strengthening Europe. Our experience demonstrates that enlargement benefits both the Union and those who join it, shaping a continent that is more prosperous, more secure, and stronger globally. Learning from this, we must keep this process moving forward.

China parts kill.

There was a time that Britain prided itself on protecting its citizens — whatever their religion — wherever they were in the world. Now the government is reluctant to defend them from foreign aggression even on its own soil, writes @FDD @charlieladerman fdd.org/analysis/2026/…

@petite_michelle Though I do think there is some context missing from that quote :)

This is why techbros should never be anywhere near politics

As the world scrambles to respond to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the Iran war should prompt preparations for a crisis over Taiwan. Read @benjaminbland's (@CHAsiaPacific) latest analysis for Chatham House⤵️ chathamhouse.org/2026/04/taiwan…

AI Found the Key to Pre-Symptom Alzheimer’s In a major leap for predictive medicine, a research team has unveiled FINGERS-7B, the first AI foundation model designed specifically to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. The model achieves 4× more accurate preclinical diagnosis by integrating a massive array of data, including lifestyle, genomics, and proteomics, into a single “biological fingerprint.” By identifying the disease up to a decade before symptoms appear, FINGERS-7B aims to transform Alzheimer’s from an inevitable decline into a manageable, and potentially preventable, condition. neurosciencenews.com/fingers-7b-alz… #AI #Alzheimers #Neuroscience (1/3)
