“President Trump sued the IRS for $10 billion. Now President Trump is settling the lawsuit with the very Justice Department that he controls. What is in the settlement? There is a provision that says the IRS can never investigate or bring claims against the President or his family for past tax issues. Imagine that, Mr. Speaker, imagine the American people getting the same deal. It would never happen. This is corruption. It is special treatment for the President and his family.”

“Do you know what the price of a gallon of gasoline costs today? It is too much. In Toledo, Ohio, it is $4.56. In Gainesville, Florida, it is $4.43. In Salt Lake City, Utah, it is $4.57. That is too expensive. Do you know what President Trump said about it? He basically said that it is tough luck. He said that he doesn't think about Americans' financial situation. His priorities make that clear. Do you know what is a priority for Trump and Republicans?”

“Families are struggling to pay for groceries, gas, rent, and healthcare. What are Republicans doing? They are bringing a budget to the floor this week to give ICE and Border Patrol another $70 billion blank check--no guardrails, no oversight, no accountability. Not a single dollar in this bill covers the cost of living for Americans. Not a single dollar makes life more affordable for working families. Instead, Republicans are spending billions to bankroll Donald Trump's cruelty and corruption.”
