Madam Speaker, since we will not be together on Halloween, I thought I would share some spooky stories with you, and these spooky stories are all real, verbatim, and lifted directly from the Republican Party's playbook, Project 2025. The Department of Education should be eliminated. Eliminate the Head Start program. The Department of Labor should amend its hazard order regulations to permit teenage workers access to work. In other words, back to the mine, Timmy. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration should be broken up and downsized. No more weather forecasts. Finally, no public education employee shall use a name to address a student other than the name listed on a student's birth certificate. This, of course, will be a problem for James Donald Bowman, James David Hamel, J.D. Hamel, or, as they now identify, J.D. Vance. This is truly scary because it is a real plan, but Madam Speaker, I hope you and all Americans' fears are only imaginary in 2025. ____________________
