Friend, I hate to have to bring you this news today, but it could impact your family and community, and I want you to have the information you need.

Overnight, the House GOP did the unthinkable and passed Trump’s budget reconciliation bill (the one he’s calling his “big, beautiful bill”) 215-214. It will now move to the Senate for reconciliation and a vote.

As you can see, not a single Democrat backed this bill, and here’s why:

RAISES taxes on the middle and working classes while giving permanent huge tax breaks to the 1%. Estimates suggest this will balloon our deficit by $5T and cause the poorest among us to pay nearly $1,000 more per year in taxes.

ELIMINATES healthcare for nearly 14 million of our most vulnerable Americans via massive cuts ($736B) to Medicaid. Many seniors, disabled people, and low-income families will lose access to care. 110,000 in my district alone are at risk.

GUTS $300B from SNAP (nutrition) programs impacting 47 million Americans nationwide and nearly 125,000 people in my district, largely children and seniors.

ELIMINATES all federal funding for Planned Parenthood, again disproportionally harming those who need healthcare resources the most.

ROLLS BACK consumer tax credits and other climate change provisions in President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, impacting many loans, grants, and job-creating projects already in motion.

These are the big notes, but the list goes on and on. Trump and the GOP are sacrificing vital resources for American families — the most vulnerable American families — to give tax cuts to the wealthiest among us. I cannot overstate how dishonorable and harmful this is, and how strongly I condemn it.

The Senate will now debate what to include in their version of the bill. It’s a complicated process, but they likely have the numbers in both the House and Senate to come to an agreement and send a bill to President Trump over the coming weeks.

We must speak out and stand against this budget and fight for our future together. That’s exactly what I’ll be doing.
