Bleak tidbit from Regime Change — Bessent attempted a Hitler-style shakedown of Zelenskyy as one of his first acts as Treasury Secretary

“Bessent’s proposal would require Ukraine to pay the United States 50 percent of future revenue from state-owned natural resources, including hydrocarbons and rare earth minerals. The document prescribed very specific commitments from Ukraine, but offered no security commitments from the United States. Even though the minerals deal had been Zelensky’s idea, part of the “Victory Plan for Ukraine” he had recently unveiled, he was shocked by Bessent’s terms. Zelensky explained that he was leading his country through a particularly violent phase of the three-year-old war, and insisted that he and his staff needed more time to consider the proposal. Bessent saw things very differently. He had traveled nearly five thousand miles to an active war zone to obtain Zelensky’s signature, and now Zelensky was telling him no. “You need to sign this,” Bessent urged. “The purpose of this is to show that there is no daylight” between the U.S. and Ukraine. Zelensky, furious, replied that the document was an attack on Ukraine’s sovereignty. This was not the way international agreements worked—this was a shakedown.” Excerpt From Regime Change Maggie Haberman https://books.apple.com/us/book/regime-change/id6761716648 This material may be protected by copyright.

"If the people in charge are using up sailors as carelessly and recklessly as they are using up their munitions, it’s because they don’t care enough to do otherwise." Our troops deserve better. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

The Troops Deserve Better than Hegseth

The president, the secretary of defense, and the top Navy officials are blithely ignoring the suffering of the sailors at sea.

Over 550 workers die annually from heat exposure nationwide. Two Republican-controlled states with sweltering heat, Texas and Florida, have blocked cities from passing laws to protect workers. Trump is also undercutting protections at the federal level. This is their vision for America.

President Donald Trump ordered the Navy to rip out the electromagnetic launch systems on its newest aircraft carriers. The move will force the Navy to revert to steam catapults, and the reversal is expected to cost billions. www.rawstory.com/trump-steam-...

The federal budget deficit for July alone is 432 billion. That's billion with a "B". At this rate, Trump will add 5.1 TRILLION dollars to the national debt in 2026, while taking away millions of American's health care and slashing important government agencies many rely on.

Mary Trump: “Donald never actually made any money in his life. He inherited a lot of money. Lost a lot of money. And has since figured out how to leverage the power of the presidency to grift. He was never a billionaire until now. Nobody should use the power of the presidency to enrich themselves.
