On 2026-06-04, Representative Seth Magaziner (D-RI-2) delivered a floor speech titled "FUNDING OF WOMEN, INFANTS, AND CHILDREN PROGRAM" in the House.

FUNDING OF WOMEN, INFANTS, AND CHILDREN PROGRAM

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 95 (Thursday, June 4, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 95 (Thursday, June 4, 2026)] [House] [Page H3895] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] {time} 2020 FUNDING OF WOMEN, INFANTS, AND CHILDREN PROGRAM (Mr. MAGAZINER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. MAGAZINER. Mr. Speaker, today this Congress just voted to cut the WIC program that provides nutrition to pregnant women and children by over $200 million. Many of the same members who voted to cut funding for pregnant women and children to be able to afford food are also actively supporting giving $1 billion to the President for his ballroom, $1.8 billion, to reward cop-beaters and white-collar criminals as part of the President's slush funds, and $1 billion a day on an unnecessary war in the Middle East. How corrupt and morally bankrupt could this Congress be, that we are taking food out of the mouths of children and pregnant women and using it to pay for vanity projects for the President of the United States? This Congress has failed the American people. ____________________
