Our best friend and companion Forest Whitaker the cat is fighting large cell lymphoma and we don’t want him to suffer. At the end of the holiday weekend we will help him transition to the next phase. In anticipation of that we want to take him to someplace outdoorsy where he can roam and play in the creek and chase bugs and be among nature. Any suggestions of places easy to get to from a car that don’t require a far walk that would be good for this?

What Nobody Tells You

On April 30, 2026, Senators Whitehouse and Reed entered a letter from 36 mental health professionals into the Congressional Record. The lead author is Dr. Henry David Abraham, a 1985 Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

The signatories cite Trump’s “marked deterioration in cognitive functioning,” delusional beliefs, depictions of himself as Pope and mythical warrior, and 150 social media posts in a single night.

The letter cites a 1974 precedent: Defense Secretary James Schlesinger quietly removed nuclear launch codes from a mentally deteriorating Richard Nixon during his final days.

The doctors are saying the same thing needs to happen now. Trump controls 5,000 nuclear warheads with no countermand authority. Their conclusion: “reality-untethered,” “rapidly worsening,” a clear and present danger.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Why It Actually Matters

Bandy Lee got fired by Yale in 2020 for saying half of this. A Nobel laureate just said all of it on the Senate floor. The Goldwater Rule delayed the truth, not stopped it.

What To Do About It

Read the letter. Read the names. Ask why your senator hasn’t spoken yet.
Bandy Lee got fired in 2020 for saying it. A Nobel laureate said it Wednesday with 5,000 nukes still in play.

History rewards the cabinet member who acted before the order came. The rest are footnotes in someone else’s tragedy. CRIX22 builds the room where you find out which one you are.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
