                REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY AND GOP BUDGET PLAN

  (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, what we are seeing right now is nothing short 
of a great betrayal. Donald Trump, president Elon Musk, and every 
single Republican in this Chamber who voted to advance the Republican 
budget resolution last night have been looking their constituents in 
the face and lying.
  They want to make cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and 
SNAP. These are programs that millions of Americans rely on to survive.
  They want to tear apart the safety net that millions of seniors, 
veterans, disabled folks, working people, and over 38 million children 
rely on.
  They are willing to leave you and your families to suffer. After they 
voted for the bill, they clapped about it.
  Why? It is because, in a few months, they want to pass massive tax 
cuts for billionaires and mega-corporations, and they want your 
children and your grandparents to pay for it. This isn't just about 
politics. It is an attack on everybody who has to clock in and out 
every day for work.
  Yesterday, House Republicans wanted to forcibly remove me from a 
committee for calling out this administration's grift, but they don't 
have a single damned thing to say when it comes to protecting 
healthcare for children and seniors.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from 
engaging in personalities toward the President and to direct their 
comments to the Chair.
