I thank the gentlewoman from the Virgin Islands (Ms. Plaskett) for her support. As I prepare to yield to the gentlewoman from Vermont (Ms. Balint), I will just observe that my colleague's comments caused me to think about the fact that we are gathered here on what our Republican friends have dubbed Anti-Woke Week. Nothing is more Project 2025 than demagoguing and using wokeness as a pretext to try to roll back individual freedoms and civil rights and take away decades of progress. {time} 1930 Our Republican colleagues can't seem to figure out how to fund the government and do the basics of governing, but they sure are good at finding time to demagogue on wokeness. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Vermont (Ms. Balint).
