Across Ukraine, many people were shocked and blindsided at how a deal between the U.S. and the country on critical minerals fell apart and how President Trump treated Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky. They also said they wouldn’t stop fighting, even if the U.S. walked away.

I support this. Elon Musk cannot dismantle USAID without an act of Congress. Democrats must use every lever at our disposal to block his illegal takeover and shutdown of an essential government agency.
