Rep. McGovern Slams GOP Resolutions, Trump's Policies on House Floor

Criticism of GOP-Backed Resolutions

• 📌 The current rule includes two immigration bills, one already passed by Congress and another directing the administration to do what it already has the power to do.
• ⚠️ A non-binding resolution to condemn rioting is present, but Republicans did not offer a similar resolution to condemn the January 6th riots, and the Speaker has not hung a plaque honoring law enforcement from that day.
• 🎯 The rule also includes an appropriations bill that privatizes VA services and blocks women veterans from accessing abortion services at the VA.

Concerns Over Foreign Policy and "Endless Wars"

• 🌍 McGovern criticizes the administration for creating chaos and confusion, and for the real fear Americans have about the country being dragged into another Middle East conflict.
• 💥 The president's claim of a "ceasefire forever" between Israel and Iran lasted less than a day, and the U.S. has been inserted into the conflict with bombing of Iran and by Iran.
• 🎭 The Republican party is accused of going along with this, with officials like Stephen Miller discussing Donald Trump in a way that suggests a "cult" mentality.
• ⚔️ Many Republicans are now in favor of "endless wars," doing the exact opposite of what Trump promised during his campaign.

Economic and Domestic Policy Criticisms

• 💸 Republicans promised to lower food prices, but they remain as expensive as they were six months ago, while the nation is now involved in another Middle East war.
• 📉 The administration is described as being in over its head, with American troops and taxpayers paying the price for their "stupidity and carelessness."
• ⚖️ Strikes are called illegal, unauthorized, and unconstitutional, lacking debate, vote, or evidence of imminent threat.
• 💰 A "big ugly tax scam" is criticized for handing tax breaks to billionaires while reducing access to food and healthcare for others.
• 🩺 The bill is said to cut off 16 million people from healthcare and reduce food budgets for working people.

Call for Accountability

• 🗣️ McGovern argues that Congress should be debating a war powers resolution and the "awful, ugly bill" working its way through the Senate, instead of business as usual with endless wars and tax cuts for the rich.
• 🚫 He urges a "no" vote on the current measures.
