with this backstabbing billionaire bill, House Republicans are selling their soul and constituents to the highest bidder: Donald Trump. First, he crashed the economy with his temper taxes, driving up the cost of groceries and down our credit rating with Moody's. Now Trump and Republicans want to steal even more from hardworking Americans to provide tax breaks to those who kiss the Mar-a-Lago ring. Mr. Speaker, they are stealing your food, healthcare, and security. My district in Los Angeles has the fourth highest Medicaid enrollment in the entire Nation. Mr. Speaker, 225,000 of my constituents rely on food assistance to feed their families. Nearly 1 million people in my State live in subsidized housing. My constituents call my office asking me to protect their Medicaid. They don't ask that their lifesaving benefits be taken away and given to the top 1 percent. Daylight is the best disinfectant, which is why all their dirty deeds with this bill have been happening at night. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to listen to their constituents instead of tasing them at townhalls, and vote against this dangerous bill. Mr. Speaker, I urge America to keep the receipts on these votes.
