Rep. Summer Lee Statement on Trump’s First 100 Days in Office
WASHINGTON, D.C. – April 30, 2025 — Today, Congresswoman Summer Lee (PA-12), a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued the following statement marking the first 100 days of the Trump Administration:
“Today marks 100 days of Trump’s unchecked cruelty,chaos, and corruption, and the message is clear: this presidency was bought by the ultra-wealthy and billionaires and will serve only to make the rich richer at the expense of our families and our communities.
“From the moment this administration took power, our democracy has been undermined, our checks and balances eroded, and our most vulnerable communities put at risk. Federal funds frozen. Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security threatened. Thousands fired. Activists illegally detained. Public education attacked. Families ripped apart. Environmental regulations gutted. The list goes on.
“But make no mistake—we are not defenseless, and we will not be silent. As a member of the House Oversight Committee, I’ve joined committee Democrats in sending countless letters demanding accountability and transparency and in launching over 18 investigations to expose the corruption and hold this administration accountable. In my district, Pennsylvania’s 12th, I’ve been in community—hosting town halls and standing firmly against this administration’s cruelty.
“We won’t allow Trump’s billionaire-first agenda to trample our freedoms, safety, and livelihoods. As long as he continues to put special interests before working families, I promise this: I’ll be right here fighting—today, tomorrow, and every day—to protect our democracy, our dignity, and the communities I am so proud to represent.”
