John, a few months ago, I reached out to talk about the issue involving our debt ceiling (If you missed it, I attached it to the bottom of this one).
Unfortunately, in these last few months, we haven't reached an agreement, and the possibility of the US defaulting on its debt gets more and more real.
But Congressional Republicans, who raised the debt ceiling three times under the Trump administration, are still refusing a clean increase of the debt ceiling this time around. Instead, they've set their sights on cutting Social Security and Medicaid, leaving our working families without life-saving benefits.
Before I dive into some of the numbers, my colleagues and I are working hard to get our message to people across the country, but a strong coalition of grassroots support is essential. Please, John, will you chip in toward our people-focused movement today? [[link removed]]

John, my colleagues on the Congressional Progressive Caucus and I laid it all out in a letter to President Biden – here is the effect Republicans' framework will have on the American people:
780,000
People would be rendered jobless
1.2 million
Women, infants, and children would be left without nutrition assistance
21 million
Americans would be stripped of Medicaid coverage
640,000
Families would lose access to rental assistance and more
John, I can't stand idly by as Republicans put their agenda and special interests over the needs of our working families – which is why my colleagues on the Congressional Progressive Caucus took a stand.
We're urging President Biden to stand with our working class families, stand with people across the country, and do everything in his power to ensure Republicans cannot keep these life-changing benefits from our constituents.
And we're doing everything we can, but we're only one group. If we want to push the needle on this issue and protect the interests of our working families, we're relying on grassroots support to help us get the message out. Please, John, will you make a donation of any amount today? [[link removed]]

John, I've said it before: my colleagues and I are ready to start working for our constituents.
But it's clear House Republicans have a different agenda.
You deserve the bigger picture, and I want to give you all the details. This is just the beginning of the chaos, and I can't work through it without allies on every level. Please, John, can I count on your support? [[link removed]]

To give a little background, Republicans are hyper-focused on the debt ceiling: the amount that the federal government can borrow to pay our existing bills. Similar to a credit card, there's a limit to how much we can spend.
When we hit that limit, which happened yesterday , we can't borrow anymore. From here, Congress usually does what it's done for decades: agree to increase the debt ceiling with no added conditions.
This time is different though. Remember the 15 rounds of voting we had to go through to get a Speaker? To secure votes, McCarthy made deals with other members of the GOP, promising that:
1️⃣ Spending levels for 2024 would remain at the same levels as 2022 (impossible)
2️⃣ An increase in the debt ceiling would come with spending cuts, potentially targeting Social Security and Medicaid (disgraceful)
To give Republicans time to sort things out, the Treasury Department's forced to use "extraordinary measures" to keep the government open, giving Congress til June to act on the debt ceiling to avoid defaulting on our debt.
But if by June we still haven't made a decision, defaulting on our debt is where the real chaos begins – especially for our constituents. They could miss out on:
❌ Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid payments
❌ Tax refunds
❌ Student loan/grant payouts
To put it simply: House Republicans are willing to destroy our economy and our lives all for some silly political games.
That's not why you elected me, and that's not why I show up for work. John, I'm here to do the people's job.
This is just the beginning of the political mess we'll have to sort through to get our communities the help we need. To keep going, we need as many people on Team Delia as possible. Will you donate today and join our team? [[link removed]]
