DEMOCRATS ARE FIGHTING BACK

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 71 (Tuesday, April 29, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 71 (Tuesday, April 29, 2025)] [House] [Page H1693] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] DEMOCRATS ARE FIGHTING BACK (Ms. LOIS FRANKEL of Florida asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. LOIS FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, this week marks 100 days since Donald Trump's return to power, 100 days of destruction, chaos, and heartbreak, all rubber-stamped by congressional Republicans. Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, extreme tariffs have driven up prices and tanked the stock market, gutting retirement savings. Trump promised to protect Social Security. Instead, he is closing offices, firing workers, and making it harder for seniors to get the benefits that they earned. Trump promised to fight for hardworking Americans. Instead, he is pushing a cruel budget that rips food and healthcare from children, from seniors, and from veterans, all to hand massive tax breaks to billionaires. While families struggle, Trump plays golf, and his buddy, Elon Musk, is chainsawing the American Dream. It has been 100 days of chaos, destruction, and heartbreak, and Democrats are fighting back. ____________________
