that there will be mass collateral damage to the absurdities of the policies that they are pursuing. And so I think about the average working family in my district that's struggling to be able to buy a new car because car prices are soaring through the roof, interest rates are still remarkably high, and what are they left with? They're left with the car infomercial
that the president of the United States conducted earlier today on the White House lawn. That is their policy prescription, right? Is to engage in these reckless economic policies, the tariffs and the rest, unnecessary trade wars, and then ultimately offer nothing of actual consequence to the American people who are really struggling.
And from my perspective, that's the most confounding part of all. House Democrats are going to remain focused, you know, as Leader Jeffries often says, keeping the main thing the main thing, which is quality of life, cost of living, addressing core challenges that the American people face that Republicans refuse to address. And as I said, if anything, are exacerbating.
had rogue kana on democratic congress member kana here's what he had to say the what gives me confidence is propaganda even if you have an information asymmetry doesn't work when the reality is terrible and what we're what what what biden had was in many cases a an economy that was recovering and we got hurt by propaganda now you actually have a terribly uh moving economy and people are
are hurting and there's no amount of things that sean hannity can say that's going to pay the bills there's no amount of things that a charlie kirk can say that's going to pay the bills and so you know you can't spin reality at a certain point and that's what uh republicans are waking up to
Publicans are really hoping, really, really hoping I don't bring up this last part. Guess what they tucked into this rule, hoping that nobody would notice. They did this after everyone went home. They slipped in a little clause letting them escape from ever having to debate or vote on Trump's tariffs. Isn't that clever?
Trump's trade war will result in one of the largest, if not the largest, tax increase on American families ever. And this rule gives him the ability to do it without a vote in Congress. I get it. They're already hiding from their voters, running away from their own town halls, slipping out the back doors because they're afraid of being held accountable by their own actions.
But guess what, Mr. Speaker? People don't send us here to hide. They send us here to fight for them. And they send us here to vote. And Democrats are not going to be complicit in voting to screw over America's veterans. We're not going to be complicit in voting to screw over our senior citizens on Social Security. We're not going to be complicit in taking money away from first responders.
And we're sure as hell not going to be silent when it comes to this administration's BS and their corruption. Because what we are going to do is we're going to show up in our communities. We're going to stand up for veterans. We're going to speak up for people on Medicaid and Social Security. And we're going to put up
one hell of a fight when it comes to middle class families who are counting on us to fight for them. I urge a no vote on the disgraceful rule, a no vote on the underlying legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Would you repeat what you just said when you introduced a duly elected representative from the United States of America, please?
Mr. Chairman, you are out of order. Mr. Chairman, have you no decency? I mean, I've come to know you a little bit, but this is not decent.
You will not continue it with me unless you introduce a duly elected representative the right way.
There's 300 billion euros of frozen assets being held in Brussels right now that France and Germany and Belgium have all over.
Russian assets, that's right. If Congress signaled in a bipartisan fashion that, one, we want Ukraine to win this war, we believe Russia was the aggressor, not Ukraine, and two, that we support our European allies in giving security guarantees to Ukraine paid for with Russian assets, I think we could get to a resolution very quickly.
Congressional Republicans are not stepping up and just saying the very basic sentence of Ukraine is right, Russia is wrong. Let me ask you a question, Congressman Gonzalez.
Is it popular to cut health care for the 40 percent of kids in this country who rely on Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for people who don't need tax cuts? Yeah, that's not going to be popular.
That is what congressional Republicans are doing. Those is a misdirection tactic. The focus of effort is that they're going to take eight hundred and eighty billion dollars out of health care that seniors rely on for at home care that kids rely on for primary care. And they're going to use it to give the one percent massive tax cuts.
As well, we were doing a town hall in the biggest city in my district. Democrats still do town halls. And this city voted for Donald Trump in 2024, first time in 100 years. The most resonant theme of the day that I heard from these Americans was how livid they are about the way that President Trump behaved in the Oval Office with Vladimir Zelensky.
Zelensky flew to Washington, but he walked into the Kremlin. And the propaganda that they heard from the commander-in-chief made Americans feel less safe and made them feel ashamed. This is an opportunity for congressional Republicans to distance themselves from this abomination and to demonstrate that Americans are going to stand for freedom and democracy.
