ON BEHALF OF THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU
(Ms. LEE of Nevada asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute.)
Ms. LEE of Nevada. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Let me tell you what the CFPB has done to protect working families
for years, such as capping bank overdraft fees and credit card late
fees, suing big banks for taking advantage of families, saving
Americans over $20 billion from abusive corporations.
Now, Elon Musk and DOGE want to kill it because it is better for
billionaires and big corporations and not for you.
Let me be clear: This does nothing to make your life more affordable.
It is quite the opposite. In fact, none of what the Trump
administration has done so far is making life more affordable for
working Nevadans.
If you are concerned about these attacks on working families and
attacks on our Constitution itself, I implore you to call your nearest
Republican.
Let's face it: They control Congress, and it is up to them to stand
up and help us stop this unconstitutional power grab and deliver on
their promise to make life more affordable for you.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to address their
remarks to the Chair.
