                     IN SUPPORT OF FEDERAL WORKERS

  (Mr. FROST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I rise for every American whose life has been 
made better because of the work of Federal civil servants.
  President Donald Trump and his power-crazed posse of billionaire 
bosses are firing our Federal workers. Our quality of life is degraded 
and diminished because of that.
  They are moving to install their unqualified followers to do the 
dirty work of a hostile takeover of every facet of our lives, like 
Medicaid, the National Weather Service, and the Department of 
Education.
  Their deferred resignation plan is a scam. Firefighters, nurses, TSA 
agents, park rangers, and foreign aid workers are refusing to go 
quietly in the face of an authoritarian. I commend them.
  America is indeed at a fork in the road. Do we want a qualified, 
respected workforce serving us, or do we want an army of clueless yes-
men working to serve the selfish?
  I know what I want, what the American people want, and what the 
American people deserve. It is a government that works for them. I 
thank our Federal workforce and our civil servants.
