Genealogy keeps me sane. Lucky to be working in a genealogy library. Still trying to get past my GGGrandfather after 30 years of searching. Researching Kentucky, Connecticut, Ireland, Germany, Spain and Cuba. Wish I qualified for dual citizenship.

Interesting article explaining why the author believes Trump has Frontotemporal dementia, rather than just Alzheimer's. It fits the symptoms.
I think this makes more sense and shows symptoms very specific to Agent Orange and not Alzheimer's.

DAMMIT It's Not Alzheimer's! Here's Why It's A Far Worse Nightmare Scenario
You deserve the facts, not conjecture. Alzheimer's diminishes a person. Trump's not diminishing, he's escalating, and you need to know the frightening reason why.

Must read from @martinomalley.bsky.social:
"After President Donald Trump unleashed Elon Musk and DOGE on the Social Security Administration, the agency lost more staff in a shorter period of time than ever before in its 90-year history....The agency has been gutted."

Painted figures haunt an empty building. A boy leaning on a pair of crutches. A father and son wandering a barren railroad track. A nuclear family at a picnic table. These poignant scenes were painted...

Hey, Trump. You don’t need to push Putin’s 28-point plan to end the war in Ukraine. Just go with the one point plan to end it: Russia gets the hell out of Ukraine.

And the moral case is just as clear. A sovereign democracy was invaded by an authoritarian who believes he can rewrite borders by force. Standing with Ukraine defends our values, protects our allies, and helps prevent a far more dangerous fight for our own service members.

I said it over a year ago: Trump’s plan was always to sell out Zelensky and hand Putin exactly what he wants.
We cannot allow it to happen.
If Putin were to push toward NATO countries, our treaty obligations could put American service members directly in harm’s way.
