Well, great to be with you, Ben. Our theory of the case from the very beginning is that we've got to make sure Trump's biggest strength as of January 20th, which was the economy, turned into his greatest weakness because we knew from the very beginning that Donald Trump had no intention of trying to lower the high cost of living in the United States of America.

He promised that costs were going to drop on day one. But we know, of course, that costs aren't going down. They're going up. Grocery prices are going up. Inflation is going up. What's going down are the retirement savings of the American people because Trump is plummeting the stock market and crashing the economy in real time. And we're going to stay on this issue.

It would cut veterans' benefits, cut nutritional assistance, cut healthcare programs, cut investments in cancer research, cut investments in Alzheimer's, and just be devastating to people all across America. And so the consequences of the extreme MAGA Republican ideology are being unleashed on the American people in real time.

I gave five reasons when I talked to the caucus yesterday about why we should oppose this partisan spending bill. And one of those reasons is the fact that this bill would give Elon Musk a blank check in terms of trying to continue the process of unraveling the federal government as we know it in ways that are going to hurt the American people.

Well, the fundamental scheme that is underway in terms of what we're seeing from Republicans is that they want to take a chainsaw to Social Security, a chainsaw to Medicare, as Elon Musk recently confirmed, and a chainsaw to Medicaid, where they are trying to set in motion the largest cut to Medicaid in American history.

Every single Democrat in the House voted against that budget resolution, and we're going to continue to stand strong against it, but they are unraveling these incredibly important priorities for everyday Americans because they want to provide a massive tax cut to their billionaire donors and puppet masters like Elon Musk. That's what the Republicans are all about at the end of the day.
