Mike Levin Delivers House Floor Speech Against the Great Billionaire Takeover Watch full Floor speech here Washington, D.C.- Today, Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49) delivered a speech on the House Floor warning against President Trump and Elon Musk’s billionaire takeover of the federal government. Watch the full House Floor speech here . Full remarks below. “Mr. Speaker, in a few short weeks, President Trump has unleashed the beginnings of a Constitutional Crisis. He is gutting the federal government and trying to usurp Congress’s Constitutional authority of the power of the purse. “President Trump is flouting the law, and he has deputized the unelected billionaire-in-chief Elon Musk who is accountable to no one. They are dismantling federal agencies and are attempting to freeze federal funds already allocated by Congress. Elon Musk and apparently many of my colleagues may not know this, but let me be clear: Only Congress, the elected representatives of the American people, authorize programs or appropriate funds. “Everything that is happening is leading to one thing: the Great Billionaire Takeover of our government to line the pockets of the very few. “This is not normal. “This is not efficiency, and we cannot let this happen. “My grandfather didn’t fight in World War II against fascism to see our country overrun by autocracy, and I will honor his legacy, every day, by fighting to defend our democracy and our values. I implore my colleagues across the aisle to do the same. “America is worth the fight.” ### Print Email Share Tweet Next Article Previous Article About Serving You News Contact Issues Privacy Policy Twitter Icon Facebook Icon Youtube Icon Bluesky Icon
