Cory Booker just obliterated Strom Thurmond’s record for the longest Senate speech.

The old record was set by a white supremacist trying to kill civil rights.

The new one?

By a Black senator fighting for them.

That’s the headline.

Honestly, I don't know how Zelenksy didn't punch the cheetoh that whole time. That man has remarkable restraint.

I have never been so embarrassed for our country. What a thug. "World War III," he says over and over, echoing Putin's sabre rattling throughout his invasion. Even sitting in the White House, Trump is echoing the Kremlin line.

What's even more despicable is that the spineless, gutless GOP will say nothing about this indefensible show of gutlessness and cowardice by their leader. Imagine that: Being afraid of cowards makes you one.

Stand with Ukraine tonight.

Imagine surviving three years of invasion, war crimes, and missile strikes, only to be lectured about “gratitude” by a draft-dodger and a Peter Thiel intern.

This is a damnable disgrace.

Strong, supportive comments for Zelenskyy from democrats here. These need boosting:

Senator Schiff: ““A hero and a coward are meeting in the Oval Office today. And when the meeting is over, the hero will return home to Ukraine.”
Senator Murphy: “What an utter embarrassment for America. This whole sad scene.”
Senator Gallego: “This is a disgrace.”
Senator Van Hollen: “beyond disgraceful”.
Senator Durbin: “The people of Ukraine and President Zelenskyy deserve an apology.” “Trump and Vance berating Zelenskyy – putting on a show of lies and misinformation that would make Putin blush – is an embarrassment for America and a betrayal of our allies,” Durbin said. “They’re popping champagne in the Kremlin.”
Senator Schumer: Trump and Vance “are doing Putin’s dirty work
Sheldon Whitehouse: Trump and Vance of “acting like ventriloquist dummies for Putin”
