                       MUSK-TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

  (Ms. BROWNLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. BROWNLEY. Madam Speaker, yesterday, Elon Musk, an unelected, 
unvetted billionaire who has seized control of our government, 
addressed the Nation from the Oval Office.
  Instead of tackling issues like rising costs, the Musk-Trump 
administration is consumed by an agenda to dismantle our democracy and 
deliver nothing but chaos.
  It has provided no relief at the gas pump or at the grocery store. 
Worse, today, reports show a 3 percent inflation rate, the highest 
since June 2024, due to Musk-Trump tariffs.
  While the Musk-Trump administration is on track to rack up over 100 
lawsuits in its first 100 days, a direct result of its illegal, 
unconstitutional actions, it has failed to take any steps to help 
everyday Americans with everyday challenges.
  House Democrats are working to protect Social Security, Medicare, 
Medicaid, nutrition assistance programs, Head Start, the Department of 
Education, and much more. I urge this administration and House 
Republicans to

work with us on real solutions that prioritize the interests of working 
families over the interests of billionaires.
