Dear Colleague:

I write with respect to the reckless House Republican budget bill and their toxic scheme to enact the largest Medicaid cut in American history in order to reward their billionaire donors like Elon Musk with massive tax breaks. Once again, it is essential that House Democrats are present with maximum attendance for what is anticipated to be a close vote on Wednesday. 

Over this weekend, thousands of grassroots rallies took place across the country that sent a clear message to Donald Trump and House Republicans: hands off Medicaid, Social Security, nutrition assistance, veterans benefits and the American way of life. Moving forward, we will continue to push back aggressively against the far-right extremism that is wrecking the economy and hurting people throughout the land.

During the upcoming two-week district work period, in partnership with the Democratic Policy & Communications Committee, there are a series of national events we have planned as House Democrats. Please join us in a Save Social Security Day of Action on Tuesday, April 15, a Medicaid Matters Day of Action on Thursday, April 17 and a Cost of Living Week of Action beginning on Monday, April 21. Additional information has been provided by the DPCC. 

House Republicans broke their promise to address the high cost of living and they lied about their intention to enact their extreme Project 2025 agenda. The harm being unleashed by Donald Trump and the GOP is staggering. 

Enough. This is not America.  

We will continue to show up, speak up and stand up until we end this national nightmare and bring the American dream to life for everyone. Thank you for your continued leadership.

Sincerely,

Hakeem Jeffries

Democratic Leader
