Ms. LEE of Nevada. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Let me tell you what the CFPB has done to protect working families for years, such as capping bank overdraft fees and credit card late fees, suing big banks for taking advantage of families, saving Americans over $20 billion from abusive corporations.

Now, Elon Musk and DOGE want to kill it because it is better for billionaires and big corporations and not for you.

Let me be clear: This does nothing to make your life more affordable. It is quite the opposite. In fact, none of what the Trump administration has done so far is making life more affordable for working Nevadans.

If you are concerned about these attacks on working families and attacks on our Constitution itself, I implore you to call your nearest Republican.

Let's face it: They control Congress, and it is up to them to stand up and help us stop this unconstitutional power grab and deliver on their promise to make life more affordable for you.
