     TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS UNDERMINING FOUNDATION OF OUR COUNTRY

  (Ms. PLASKETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PLASKETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as a former prosecutor and a 
Republican political appointee in the Bush administration's Justice 
Department. I know the law. All I see is the President and Elon Musk's 
unelected cabal flagrantly breaking the law.
  Last week, the Trump administration recklessly issued and then 
rescinded a memo freezing taxpayer funds lawfully appropriated by 
Congress to local agencies, nonprofits, and school districts. This 
week, Musk agents demanded access to the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, 
overriding laws and regulations and accessing the most sensitive 
personal information of every American.
  Every promise to lower costs and put the working and middle class 
first was a lie. The reckless quest to sell out the American people and 
silence opposition jeopardizes our national security and undermines the 
very foundation of our country.
  Mr. Speaker, Project 2025 is the playbook; fear is the weapon; and 
greed is the point.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from 
engaging in personalities toward the President.
