                            FOLLOW THE MONEY

  (Ms. BYNUM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BYNUM. Shh. Mr. Speaker, it has been really quiet in this Chamber 
about who is profiting from the Presidency.
  While Americans struggle to pay for gas and groceries, our President 
Trump is making billions. His media company wants Wall Street to pay 
$10,000 for early access to his Truth Social posts. Now, this says to 
me that the President is saying: Pay me, and I will help you trade on 
insider information.
  Wall Street eats, and we get the bill.
  Now we are seeing reports of a growing market where people like 
rapper Lil Boosie pay those claiming that they have access to 
Presidential pardons.
  That is not how public service should work. We cannot stay quiet 
while power is being treated like a product for sale.
  Shh. Congress has a responsibility to follow the money, demand 
transparency, and remind this administration that public service is 
about serving the people and not their pocketbooks.
