Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."
This is extortion of an ally: “The terms of the new proposal … call for Ukraine to relinquish half of its revenues from natural resources, including minerals, gas and oil, as well as earnings from ports and other infrastructure.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/w...
U.S. Pressing Tough Demands in Revised Deal for Ukraine’s Minerals
The Trump administration appears to be insisting that Ukraine relinquish half of its revenues from natural resource extraction, with no security guarantee in exchange.

In response to Trump’s assertion, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” we say:
The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.

In a time when our morally void, cowardly, self-serving Republican Senators won't stand up to protect democracy, and a felon president and his sycophant loyalists will sell this man out to Russia, we should all wish we had someone as brave as Zelenskyy to fight for America.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Tariffs are taxes.
The foreign company or importer pays the taxes, yes.
Then they pass the cost onto the consumer — by raising prices.
So tariffs are paid by YOU — and the prices of EVERYTHING are about to go up.
We’ll call it Trumpflation.

When the U.S. electorate hears for itself how thoroughly Trump’s mind has deteriorated since 2020,not only will Biden seem eloquent and commanding in contrast but Trump will emerge as demented and hopelessly incapable of being president again. A walking 25th Amendment disaster
