Ms. STANSBURY. Mr. Speaker, as we stand here today on the House floor, Donald Trump's Secretary of Health is announcing that he is firing over 10,000 healthcare professionals across America. These are the doctors, practitioners, experts, and scientists who keep us safe.

While we stand here today, Elon Musk is trying to buy an election in Wisconsin.

While we stand here, Donald Trump is bragging about tariffs across town while he is saying that he is going to run for President for a third term, which is unconstitutional.

What are Republicans trying to run on the House floor this week? The SAVE Act, which would undermine the voting rights of millions of Americans, and the No Rogue Rulings Act, which would undermine the judicial branch and interfere with its rulings. It is trying to run two CRAs that would revoke administrative rules to keep banks from ripping off the American people.

Here they are, trying to sneak in a rule today that would take our power away as Representatives here in the House to ensure that our own Members can care for their children as new parents.

This is what abuse of power looks like: attacking the judiciary, attacking our elections, and attacking our democratic institutions.

We will not stand for it because American democracy is on the line.

Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to stand up, have a backbone, do what is right, and vote ``no.''
