Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to sound the alarm about the dangerous and extreme policies put forward in Project 2025, the self- described blueprint for the Republican President to take over total control of the Federal Government and our lives. Spanning more than 900 pages, Project 2025 lays out not a concept of a plan but a plan for Donald Trump or another GOP President to ignore the Constitution and unilaterally turn back the clock on working families, women, and our children. For families, Project 2025 calls to eliminate overtime pay and kick people with preexisting conditions off of their healthcare insurance. For women and girls, Project 2025 calls for taking the Republican abortion bans that are devastating women in Georgia and Texas and jeopardizing IVF in Alabama and doing the same nationally. For our children, Project 2025 calls for eliminating the Department of Education and defunding our public schools. Each and every one of these proposals would have been devastating for millions of Americans. I know that, Mr. Speaker, because every one of them would have ruined my life. My dad was a union ironworker. He picked up overtime whenever possible so that he could keep a roof over our heads and put food on the table. Like so many families, Project 2025 taking away the chance to work overtime could have meant us losing our home or going to bed hungry.…”
