      100 DAYS OF CHAOS, CRUELTY, AND LAWLESSNESS UNDER THE TRUMP 
                             ADMINISTRATION

  (Ms. DEAN of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. DEAN of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, this week marked a stunning 
milestone: 100 days of chaos, cruelty, and lawlessness under the Trump 
administration. We see it in our economy, in our homes, and in our 
relationships abroad.
  Just 100 days ago, President Trump inherited a strong economy, yet 
our economy shrank in the first 3 months of this year. He imposed 
punishing tariffs, then he didn't, wiping out $11 trillion in wealth in 
11 weeks. The price of gas, eggs, and other groceries are still too 
high.
  The President handed an unelected, unqualified billionaire, Elon 
Musk, unfettered access to private data and indiscriminately fired 
devoted civil servants. Services at Social Security and IRS have been 
slowed in the aftermath.
  Because the President has aligned himself with dictators like Putin, 
our allies across the globe are now openly admitting they can't trust 
us.
  This is not good governance. It is not reform.
  Mr. Speaker, history will not be kind to those who enable this 
President through words or through their appalling silence.
