Sherrod Brown: “How do we know if this President is working for us? He is working for us if we make over $4 million and are about to…”

How do we know if this President is working for us? He is working for us if we make over $4 million and are about to pocket a new tax cut of $300,000. He is working for us if we attend Great Gatsby parties at his club or plan to sip cocktails in his new White House ballroom. He is working for us if we bankroll his crypto schemes or pony up for Presidential pardons. He is working for us if we are wealthy, well-connected, and don't want the Epstein files to see the light of day. Mr. Speaker, if we are struggling to afford rent or groceries, if premiums are breaking our budget, he is not working for us. No, he is driving up our costs by imposing reckless tariffs and cutting SNAP, Medicaid, and ACA subsidies. This President works for the wealthy, and working people are paying the price.
