Musk-Trump Administration

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. BROWNLEY. Madam Speaker, yesterday, Elon Musk, an unelected, unvetted billionaire who has seized control of our government, addressed the Nation from the Oval Office.

Instead of tackling issues like rising costs, the Musk-Trump administration is consumed by an agenda to dismantle our democracy and deliver nothing but chaos.

It has provided no relief at the gas pump or at the grocery store. Worse, today, reports show a 3 percent inflation rate, the highest since June 2024, due to Musk-Trump tariffs.

While the Musk-Trump administration is on track to rack up over 100 lawsuits in its first 100 days, a direct result of its illegal, unconstitutional actions, it has failed to take any steps to help everyday Americans with everyday challenges.

House Democrats are working to protect Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, nutrition assistance programs, Head Start, the Department of Education, and much more. I urge this administration and House Republicans to work with us on real solutions that prioritize the interests of working families over the interests of billionaires.
