Mike Levin Delivers House Floor Speech Pressing Congress to Resist the Great Billionaire Takeover Rep. Mike Levin Speaks on the House Floor Against the Great Billionaire Takeover Washington, D.C .- Today, Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49) delivered a speech on the House Floor on the unlawful gutting of federal agencies and overreach of executive power. Watch the full House Floor speech here . Full remarks below. “Mr. Speaker, it’s been another week of the attempted Great Billionaire Takeover of our federal government being led by DOGE, which actually stands for Destruction of Government by Elon. “They have shut down the agency protecting Americans from fraud and predatory lending. “They’re gutting funding for medical research. They’re targeting at-risk and special education programs—all without a single vote, a single vote, from Congress. “So where do we go from here? “I know some Republicans support these objectives. I get it. But this is not the way. “Congress must act. The Constitution requires it. Our Founders were clear. “But too many in this body are looking the other way, fearing political backlash. But our system of government only works if we all do our jobs. “This is not about left or right. To my friends across the aisle, I would ask, would you want a future Democratic president to act without guardrails? To act without any checks or balances? “The situation you are allowing is dangerous. “The choices we make now will change our country for generations. “Do better.” ### Print Email Share Tweet Next Article Previous Article About Serving You News Contact Issues Privacy Policy Twitter Icon Facebook Icon Youtube Icon Bluesky Icon
