BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. BARRAGAN. Mr. Speaker, extreme MAGA Republicans are focused on chaos and dysfunction. Their agenda does nothing for everyday Americans.

Republicans continue to push sham impeachments and political stunts to distract from their radical agenda. They have made this Congress the least productive since the Great Depression. We have seen that on full display this week, where Republicans have canceled another workday in D.C. because they cannot get anything done.

House Democrats are fighting to cut through the chaos. We are focused on lower cost, a stronger middle class, and safer communities.

Under President Biden and House Democrats in Congress, we have focused on real change. Democrats have capped the price of insulin at $35 a month for seniors on Medicare and provided student debt relief to 3.7 million Americans. Month after month, our economy has seen strong job growth.

President Biden's economic policies are working. House Democrats know that we have more work to do, and we stand united to put people over politics and do the work of the American people.
