         PROJECT 2025 PLEDGES EGREGIOUS ASSAULT ON OUR FREEDOMS

  (Ms. BROWNLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. BROWNLEY. Madam Speaker, from imposing a nationwide ban on 
abortion to curbing voting rights to gutting Social Security and 
Medicare, Project 2025 is an extremist MAGA Republican manifesto that 
pledges an egregious assault on our freedoms, our economy, and our 
democracy.
  At the urging of the former President, a small but extreme number of 
House Republicans are threatening to shut down the government unless 
they can impose radical actions of Trump's Project 2025.
  A government shutdown would not only have a devastating economic 
impact, but it would jeopardize the critical services and programs 
American families rely on, hinder our military readiness, and deprive 
veterans of the healthcare they need and benefits they have earned.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to 
reassess their priorities and prioritize the interests of the American 
people over the interests of the former President. We must keep the 
Federal Government open and keep the Federal Government working for the 
people.
