❗️🇺🇸 Democrats call for removal of "unhinged Trump" from office amid his inadequate threats.

➡️ After Trump declared on Truth Social on April 7 that "a whole civilization will die tonight" in Iran and promised to unleash "real Hell," lawmakers are discussing both impeachment and invoking the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, Axios reports.

✅ One of the first to speak out was Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ), stating that "the 25th Amendment* exists for a reason," emphasizing that the lives of American troops, the Iranian people, and global security are at stake.

✅ California Representative Sara Jacobs called on the Joint Chiefs of Staff to refuse any unlawful military orders, warning that Republicans can no longer hide from this crisis.

"The President just threatened genocide. We must consider all options, including impeachment, to stop Trump."

✅ Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN):

"This is unacceptable. Invoke the 25th Amendment. Impeach. Remove. This unhinged madman must be removed from office."

✅ Illinois Representative Mike Quigley:

"I formally call on the Cabinet to remove Trump from office under the 25th Amendment. If they fail, Congress must return from recess and begin impeachment proceedings."

✅ Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ):

"President Trump is unfit to be Commander-in-Chief. He has lost the trust and faith of the American people."

✅ Texas Representative Julie Johnson called Trump's actions reckless:

"This is a serious conflict, not a reality show. What we're seeing now is insane behavior from a deranged president. It's time to invoke the 25th Amendment."

✅ Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) wrote in a Substack article that Trump has lost touch with reality and is waging a war he cannot win — a war that threatens catastrophe:

"The people around him should stop him from committing these war crimes."

➡️ As of April 9, more than 60 Democratic lawmakers have joined calls for Trump's removal from office

Representatives Mark Pocan, Rashida Tlaib, Diana DeGette, Shri Thanedar, and Sydney Kamlager-Dove have explicitly called for invoking the 25th Amendment, with similar positions taken by Melanie Stansbury, Ro Khanna, Maxwell Frost, Julie Johnson, and Johnny Olszewski. Meanwhile, other lawmakers — including Ilhan Omar, Nikema Williams, and Delia Ramirez, as well as Senator Ed Markey — have called for impeachment.

➡️13 articles of impeachment have been formally filed against Trump — the most ever brought against a sitting U.S. president

Although Republicans currently control both chambers — making impeachment unlikely for now — Polymarket odds of Trump being impeached before the end of his term have surged to 71%, and to 74% by January 1, 2028. Democrats say they are only "a few votes short." With the 2026 midterms approaching, the pressure is building — and those votes may well materialize.

‼️ A new poll shows that just 14 months after Trump's return to the White House, a majority of likely U.S. voters support impeaching him for a third time.
52% of all voters expressed support for impeachment, including 84% of Democrats, 55% of Independents, and even 14% of Republicans.
Only 40% opposed, including 8% of Democrats, 34% of Independents, and 81% of Republicans.

*The 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1967, establishes the procedures for presidential succession. The key provision is Section 4: it allows the Vice President, together with a majority of the Cabinet, to declare in writing that the President is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office." In that case, the Vice President immediately becomes Acting President.

#space #Artemis #Orion

🚀🌍NASA опубликовали видео приводнения корабля Orion, заявив, что посадка прошла «как по учебнику».

"Астронавтов извлекли из капсулы Orion и доставили в медицинский отсек на борту спасательного судна USS John P. Murtha ВМС США.

Администратор NASA Джаред Айзекман высоко оценил действия экипажа, назвав их «абсолютно профессиональными астронавтами, прекрасными коммуникаторами и почти поэтами».

Дональд Трамп поздравил астронавтов и анонсировал встречу с ними в Белом доме в ближайшее время."

➡️ Прямая трансляция приводнения и дальнейшего извлечения экипажа из капсулы вызвала много вопросов и даже нецензурных выражений со стороны комментаторов из-за предельно низкого качества видео — вплоть до приземления вертолетов на палубу "John P. Murtha" (которая по размеру и разметке больше напоминала палубу авианосца, чем десантного корабля) видео "прямой трансляции" NASA оставалось в отвратительном качестве.

❔Первой из капсулы, вопреки протоколу, достали Кристину Кох — точно так же, как она первой вышла на связь с Хьюстоном после выхода в AOS и первой вышла на связь с ЦУПом после приводнения, почти с теми же словами: «Houston, Integrity, comm check. It is so great to hear from Earth again.»
Командир корабля Рид Уайзман сказал: «We have you loud and clear!»

По данным @OC_Scanner, первыми словами экипажа были: "INTEGRITY HOUSTON COMM CHECK COPIES LOUD AND CLEAR"

Интересно, что астронавтов эвакуировали из лодки отдельными вертолетами каждого, на тросах.
Подъем по одному на тросе из надувной лодки — это протокол «Грязного извлечения» (Dirty Recovery).

Возможная причина — утечка гелия через клапаны на линии подачи давления в бак окислителя (тетраоксид азота) служебного модуля корабля в среду, 8 апреля.
В тот день астронавты миссии Artemis II должны были взять на себя ручное управление космическим кораблем Orion и продемонстрировать маневры. Вместо этого руководители миссии решили провести дополнительные испытания двигательной установки.

По словам заместителя администратора NASA Амита Кшатрии, в агентстве знали о утечке гелия из Orion еще до запуска. Аналогичная утечка наблюдалась и во время беспилотного полета Artemis I в 2022.

Но запуск все же решили продолжить, поскольку "для облёта Луны в рамках Artemis II кораблю не требуется полная мощность двигательной установки".

NASA допускает, что утечка гелия может повториться и во время Artemis III в 2027. Эта миссия предусматривает испытание стыковки Orion с лунным посадочным аппаратом на околоземной орбите.

Проблему с клапанами в служебном модуле NASA, совместно с Европейским космическим агентством и Airbus, намерено решить только к миссии Artemis IV (2028), которая включает высадку на поверхность Луны.

➡️ Ещё более любопытно, что ИИ гугла (Gemini 3.1 Pro) на многочисленные вопросы пользователей о статусе Orion еще ~ за час до приводнения сообщал, что "космический корабль Orion миссии Artemis II уже завершил свой полет" и "Капсула успешно приводнилась в Тихом океане у побережья Сан-Диего в пятницу, 10 апреля 2026 года, в 20:07 ET". И только после уточняющих вопросов удивленных пользователей, действительно ли корабль вошел в атмосферу раньше, чем планировалось, Google извинялся и отвечал, что его "внутренние часы и данные по таймлайну дали сбой". Одинаково предиктивные (успешно-предсказательные) ответы ИИ гугла зафиксированы у многих пользователей со значительным опережением официального графика.

🚀🌍 NASA has released footage of the Orion spacecraft's splashdown, declaring that the landing went "by the textbook."

"The astronauts were extracted from the Orion capsule and transported to the medical bay aboard the US Navy's recovery ship, the USS John P. Murtha.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman praised the crew’s actions, describing them as 'absolutely professional astronauts, excellent communicators, and almost poets.'

Donald Trump congratulated the astronauts and announced a meeting with them at the White House in the near future."

➡️The live broadcast of the splashdown and the subsequent extraction of the crew raised many questions and even triggered profanity from commenters due to the extremely low video quality. Until the helicopters landed on the deck of the 'John P. Murtha' (which, in its size and markings, resembled an aircraft carrier more than an amphibious transport dock), NASA's 'live' video remained in appalling quality.

❔Contrary to protocol, Christina Koch was the first to be extracted from the capsule — just as she was the first to contact Houston after AOS and the first to reach Mission Control after splashdown, using nearly the same words: 'Houston, Integrity, comm check. It is so great to hear from Earth again.'
Spacecraft Commander Reid Wiseman replied: 'We have you loud and clear!'

According to @OC_Scanner, the crew's first words were: "INTEGRITY HOUSTON COMM CHECK COPIES LOUD AND CLEAR."

It's Interesting that the astronauts were evacuated from the raft individually by separate helicopters via cables. Lifting personnel one by one on a cable from an inflatable boat is the protocol for a "Dirty Recovery."

The possible reason is a helium leak through valves in the pressure line of the service module's oxidizer tank (nitrogen tetroxide) on Wednesday, April 8.
On that day, the Artemis II crew was supposed to take manual control of the Orion spacecraft and demonstrate maneuvers. Instead, mission managers decided to conduct additional propulsion system tests.

According to NASA Deputy Associate Administrator Amit Kshatriya, the agency was aware of the helium leak in Orion even before the launch. A similar leak was observed during the uncrewed Artemis I flight in 2022.

However, the decision to proceed with the launch was made "because the full power of the propulsion system is not required for the Artemis II lunar flyby."

NASA admits that the helium leak may recur during Artemis III in 2027. This mission involves testing Orion's docking with a lunar landing craft in Earth orbit.

NASA, along with the European Space Agency and Airbus, intends to resolve the valve problem in the service module only by the Artemis IV mission (2028), which includes a landing on the lunar surface.

➡️ Even more curiously, about an hour before the actual splashdown, Google's AI (Gemini 3.1 Pro) was informing numerous users that "the Artemis II Orion spacecraft has already completed its flight" and that "the capsule successfully splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego on Friday, April 10, 2026, at 20:07 ET." It was only after follow-up questions from surprised users — asking if the ship had indeed entered the atmosphere earlier than planned — that Google apologized, stating its "internal clock and timeline data had glitched." These consistently "predictive" (successfully prophetic) AI responses were recorded by many users well ahead of the official schedule.
