Seriously, we're here because chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks that if she picks on vulnerable people, like trans folks, she can avoid having a discussion about the allegations of insider trading against her.
She thinks that she can distract from the fact that Trump and MAGA Republicans are raising your costs every single day, suppressing your wages every single day, stealing your taxpayer dollars every single day, and threatening your healthcare. That's the reason we're at this crazy hearing today.
Play this clip right here for transparency. Let's go. Did you recently change your social media profile from public to private?
Okay, was that before or after you got wind that you might end up being here today?
Also happened to be right after you found out that you might be here, correct?
Yes, that is April 14th, and you did it after. So I'm going to give you another F, two counts for transparency.
Madam Chair, on a point of order.
That was your time. Your time is over. And now we're asking a week. The chair has discretion.
As long as we have that understanding, that's fine.
This interview over the weekend that he doesn't know if he would uphold, should uphold the Constitution in the situation with due process with undocumented immigrants. What's your reaction to what the president said this morning?
Look, I think this is so misguided. The notion that because he won an election that he should be able to ignore the Constitution or violate our laws is preposterous. Every president wins an election. That does not mean that they get to just make up whatever laws they want and decide which ones they're going to comply with and which ones they aren't.
Donald Trump does not get to decide what the law is. The Supreme Court and the judiciary does, as well as immigration judges for deportation cases. And so the issue here is he wants to use the Alien Enemies Act in 1798 law from a completely different era that says only those who represent, who are essentially soldiers for a different country in wartime, can be removed from this country.
But there hasn't been established in any way, shape or form that there's any war that Venezuela is waging on us. In fact, the intelligence community has determined that Venezuela is not directly supporting the Trendavra, the gang, the foreign terrorist organization that's been designated now. So there is no factual basis to think that the Alien Enemies Act should apply.
And for Donald Trump to just say, oh, well, I won in my election, therefore I get to determine what the Alien Enemies Act says is preposterous. It runs totally counter to the very fundamental nature of our constitutional and democratic values.

The document that you have up behind you is a misrepresentation of the actual post. It appears that you're trying to misrepresent a witness here who you use subpoena powers.
They also were supposed to have a markup as it relates to agriculture and SNAP benefits, cutting $220 billion from SNAP when people only get $6 a day to eat in SNAP benefits for those that do receive it. And the last time I checked, you probably can't get 12 eggs for that amount of money. And so instead of doing it, literally there was a leak in a story that came out where a staffer said,
No, we want to make sure we can flood the zone. So whenever we do this, we're going to make sure that these committees are going to be at the same time. Like the fact that you're hiding from your constituents, the fact that you literally just are like, let me just throw everything at you so that we can overwhelm you.
Instead of actually doing your job, I cannot wait until voters have an opportunity to say, you took food out of my mouth. You took a roof from over my head. You are responsible for making sure that I survive. do not have healthcare, I'm gonna make sure you don't have a job.
The second form, ma'am, reclaiming my time. Ma'am, please, ma'am, reclaiming my time. I'd like you to avoid the filibuster so I can get to all my questions, please.
Thank you so much, Mr. Chair. Okay, I don't really know where to begin. We've got a lot of ground to cover in about five minutes. So let's go. I've got three statements that I want to know if you agree or disagree with. And I want to just go down the row. Yes or no. Does cutting pay typically assist in recruiting a workforce? Yes or no.
