Mr. Speaker, this week marked a stunning milestone: 100 days of chaos, cruelty, and lawlessness under the Trump administration. We see it in our economy, in our homes, and in our relationships abroad. Just 100 days ago, President Trump inherited a strong economy, yet our economy shrank in the first 3 months of this year. He imposed punishing tariffs, then he didn't, wiping out $11 trillion in wealth in 11 weeks. The price of gas, eggs, and other groceries are still too high. The President handed an unelected, unqualified billionaire, Elon Musk, unfettered access to private data and indiscriminately fired devoted civil servants. Services at Social Security and IRS have been slowed in the aftermath. Because the President has aligned himself with dictators like Putin, our allies across the globe are now openly admitting they can't trust us. This is not good governance. It is not reform. Mr. Speaker, history will not be kind to those who enable this President through words or through their appalling silence. ____________________
