The Independent:
AOC calls Elon Musk a ‘leech’ on the public

“This guy is a leech on the public. No matter how many billions he gets in tax cuts and government contracts, it will never be enough for him,” the representative wrote on X Saturday.

“Now he’s going after the elderly, the disabled, and orphaned children so he can pocket it in tax cuts for himself,” Ocasio-Cortez continued. “It’s disgusting.”

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”

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.
