                               VENEZUELA

  (Ms. STANSBURY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. STANSBURY. Mr. Speaker, do you recall just a week and a half ago 
when the President of the United States stood in front of the American 
people and said that he conducted an unauthorized military invasion of 
Venezuela to save American lives from drugs, but then a few days later 
told us it was actually about the oil?
  Well, if we needed any confirmation that it was not about the drugs 
and not about saving American lives, look no further than the fact that 
last night the White House announced that they would cut millions of 
dollars from substance abuse and addiction recovery programs that save 
lives in America every single day.
  In Donald Trump's America, down is up and up is down, and they will 
lie to your face every single day if they think it will get them what 
they want. That is why we are in the fight to stop unauthorized wars, 
to stop the daily assault on our communities, and to restore the 
America that we know and to save American lives.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are again reminded to refrain from 
engaging in personalities toward the President.
