🇺🇸⚡ Rep. Jamie Raskin Introduces Bill to Invoke 25th Amendment Against Trump arguing that the US President is INCAPACITATED.
🇺🇸⚡ Rep. Jamie Raskin Introduces Bill to Invoke 25th Amendment Against Trump arguing that the US President is INCAPACITATED.
"The Constitution explicitly vests Congress with the authority to create a body that will guarantee the successful continuity of government by responding to presidential incapacity to discharge the powers and duties of office. We have a solemn duty to play our defined role under the 25th Amendment by setting up this body to act alongside the Vice President and the Cabinet. This body should have been set up Congress when the 25th Amendment was added to the Constitution in 1967. We have 535 Members of Congress but just one President and this body is a necessary element of successful continuity of government. Congress should act now to establish a permanent and standing Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office."
“Public trust in Donald Trump’s ability to meet the duties of his office has dropped to unprecedented lows as he threatens to destroy entire civilizations, unleashes chaos in the Middle East while violating Congressional war powers, aggressively insults the Pope of the Catholic Church and sends out artistic renderings online likening himself to Jesus Christ. We are at a dangerous precipice, and it is now a matter of national security for Congress to fulfill its responsibilities under the 25th Amendment to protect the American people from an increasingly volatile and unstable situation,” said Ranking Member Raskin.
The 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution deals with presidential succession and disability, including temporary inability to perform duties.
It was proposed by Congress in 1965 and ratified on February 10, 1967, largely in response to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, which highlighted gaps in earlier constitutional rules about what happens if a president dies, resigns, is removed, or becomes incapacitated.

🇺🇦 ❗ Ukraine's Zelensky laments that US doesn't 'have time for Ukraine' because of Iran war
In an exclusive interview with the Associated Press in Istanbul Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed fears that a "prolonged" U.S.-Israeli war on Iran is diverting American attention and resources away from Ukraine.
Zelenskyy highlighted that Russia benefits economically from the Mideast war due to surging oil prices.
"We have to recognize that we are not the priority for today," Zelenskyy said, noting his fear that a long war would result in reduced support.
Zelenskyy fears that the focus on Iran will diminish the delivery of vital U.S.-made Patriot air defense missiles, which are needed to counter Russian attacks.

🇺🇸❗ The U.S. Navy has officially confirmed the loss of a $240 million MQ-4C Triton high-altitude, long-endurance maritime reconnaissance drone.
The incident occurred on April 9, 2026. The drone (likely serial 169804) was conducting a routine ~3-hour surveillance patrol over the Persian Gulf and the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz before the event unfolded while it was returning toward its forward operating base at Naval Air Station Sigonella, Italy.
After completing its mission, the Triton briefly crossed into Saudi Arabian airspace. It then made an abrupt northeast turn toward Iranian airspace. The drone squawked transponder code 7400 (loss of communication with ground controllers) followed by 7700 (general in-flight emergency). It descended rapidly from its normal cruising altitude of ~50,000–52,000 feet down to below 10,000 feet (as low as 6,000–9,500 feet) in roughly 15 minutes. The transponder signal was lost while the aircraft was still over the Persian Gulf.
Analysts and open-source reports have highlighted the possibility that Iran electronically interfered with the drone.
The Persian Gulf region is known for frequent GPS spoofing, jamming, and other electronic warfare activity—especially heightened during the recent U.S.-Iran conflict. The abrupt turn toward Iranian airspace, followed immediately by the loss of comms link and rapid uncontrolled descent, has fueled speculation that jamming or spoofing of the drone’s satellite communications, navigation, or control links may have contributed to or caused the mishap.
Iran has invested heavily in such capabilities, though U.S. officials have not attributed the loss directly to hostile EW and emphasize no proof of deliberate action at this stage.
It crashed into the Persian Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz in international airspace (south of Iran). Exact impact coordinates remain undisclosed for operational security.

🚨 🇺🇸 U.S. DECLARES "TOTAL VICTORY" IN IRAN CONFLICT
President Trump has officially declared that the war with Iran is "very close to over," marking a historic shift in the Middle East landscape. Following weeks of intense military engagement, the administration is now signaling a pivot from kinetic operations to "grand bargain" diplomacy.
U.S. military assessments indicate a near-total dismantling of Iran’s conventional capabilities. Key figures released by the administration suggest that 90% of Iran’s naval fleet and weapons manufacturing facilities have been neutralized, alongside 80% of its air defense systems.
With over 13,000 targets struck, the White House maintains that the objective of neutralizing the immediate threat has been achieved.
The President has suspended further bombing campaigns following the receipt of a 10-point ceasefire proposal. Negotiated through Pakistani mediation, this framework aims to address long-standing issues, most notably the permanent termination of Iran’s nuclear program.
Vice President JD Vance has characterized the current phase as an opportunity for a generational "grand bargain."
While the declaration of victory has brought a sense of closure to the military phase, the global ripple effects remain. The IMF continues to monitor potential recessionary risks, and oil markets remain volatile as a U.S.-led naval blockade of Iranian ports persists to ensure compliance.
Direct talks are expected to continue in Pakistan. While the "war" may be declared over, the diplomatic heavy lifting—rebuilding regional stability and verifying disarmament—is just beginning.
Is this the dawn of a new era for the Middle East, or the start of a complex reconstruction?
Israel is obviously not HAPPY.

🇰🇵 DPRK ability to develop nuclear weapons 'Wows' nuclear watchdog
North Korea is showing a "very serious increase" in its ability to produce nuclear weapons, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said.
South Korea's spy agency has said it is believed that North Korea operates multiple facilities for enriching uranium, a key step in making nuclear warheads,
They include one at the Yongbyon nuclear site, which Pyongyang purportedly decommissioned after talks but later reactivated in 2021.
"In our periodic assessments, we have been able to confirm that there's a rapid increase in the operations" of the Yongbyon reactor, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said at a news conference in Seoul.
The agency had also observed a rise in operations at Yongbyon's reprocessing unit and light-water reactor, as well as the activation of other facilities, Mr Grossi said.
