GENIUS ActOPPOSE
“Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the House taking up the Government Audit and Accountability of Federally Funded State-Administered Programs Act. It is a long way of saying that this is a bill to go after fraud. The bill is straightforward. It directs the Government Accountability Office to conduct an independent review of Federal programs that States administer on behalf of working families. Congress has a responsibility to ensure that every tax dollar reaches the people and communities these programs are intended to serve.”

“The progressive movement is winning across the country, from the heart of New York to Michigan to Maine. The people are saying no to foreign wars, and they are saying no to genocide in Gaza. They are saying no to the unfair and lopsided economy that has allowed a few people to hoard extreme wealth and power, and they are saying yes to Medicare for All, to unions for all, to childcare for all, to making sure that we have a housing guarantee for kids by the time they are 35 if they work hard. Now, some of the oligarchs don't like it.”
