          GET GOVERNMENT WORKING FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AGAIN

  (Ms. BYNUM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BYNUM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today because the richest man in the 
world is buying access to our government at the expense of the American 
people.
  Elon Musk, who wasn't elected by anyone, is accessing the private 
information of millions of Americans and eliminating Federal agencies.
  As a little girl in D.C., I was taught that the Nation's Capital 
being taken by storm was our country's worst nightmare. It is happening 
today, not by a foreign adversary but by the boy band billionaires 
looking to line their pockets.
  This week, many of us stood up and fought back. Our country does not 
have time for this foolishness.
  No one can seem to explain to me what the Trump administration has 
done to bring down prices at the grocery store, to make it easier to 
buy or rent a home, or to lower the price of a gallon of gas.
  Mr. Speaker, we have to do whatever it takes to get this government 
working for the American people again.
