              DENOUNCING MAGA REPUBLICANS' EXTREME AGENDA

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to denounce the MAGA 
Republicans' failure to support Americans. They want to remove an FDA-
approved medication and control women's rights to their own healthcare 
choices. They deny the freedom of speech and the freedom of assembly to 
minority elected officials, and they support putting guns in the hands 
of people with severe mental issues.
  Thankfully, the Democrats put people over politics and address the 
country's real issues. We are lowering inflation and protecting the 
right to vote. We have created 12.6 million new jobs for hardworking 
Americans in the last few years. We are lowering prescription drugs to 
help American seniors. We are fixing highways and bridges nationwide to 
help Americans travel.
  Clearly, we are the party that cares about America.
