John —

Here’s what’s weighing on me after today’s vote:

For the last 30 hours, I’ve joined my fellow Democrats to fight against the Big Bad Bill, the Big Sh**y Bill, the Big Betrayal — whatever you prefer to call the destructive Republican budget.

Trump calls it “beautiful.” But there’s no beauty in this bill. It’s the largest cut to healthcare and the largest transfer of wealth from working people to the wealthiest 1% in American history.

We used every procedural tactic available to us.

We offered dozens of amendments.

We read your stories on the House floor.

Leader Jeffries spoke for more than eight hours — the longest floor speech ever — to delay the final vote.

And thousands of working Americans called Congress to speak out against this bill.

Many Republicans also spoke out against this bill — and we needed four of them to show John McCain-like bravery, cross party lines, and defeat this budget.

In the final vote, the bill passed 218-214, with only two Republicans crossing party lines.

Here’s the harsh truth: No matter how long we speak, how many stories we tell, or how much data we share, these bills pass or fail by the number of votes on this floor.

That’s why I’ve “adopted” a swing district, Arizona’s 6th, so that we can replace MAGA footsoldier Juan Ciscomani with mom, veteran, and community leader JoAnna Mendoza.

Rep. Ciscomani was one of the Republicans who vocally opposed the Big Bad Bill — but caved as soon as Trump and GOP leadership applied a little pressure. We must make sure his constituents know that he just sold them out.

If you’re able, I’m asking for two things:

Please split a donation between JoAnna Mendoza and our own organizing efforts [[link removed]] to take back the House and undo the damage of the Trump agenda.

I'm tired, sad, and heartbroken today. The Big Bad Bill will endanger our neighbors, close hospitals, and make the world worse than it was yesterday.

But I am proud to be a member of this Democratic caucus that stands for the American people and not for billionaire mega-donors.

We're going to keep fighting. Please know that we are going to keep fighting for you, that we are going to use every tool that we have to make this right.

Thank you for reading this longer message, and thank you for everything you do.
