Dear Speaker Johnson and Chairwoman Foxx:

We write with respect to your unprecedented decision to hold a Rules Committee Meeting on President Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill” at 1:00 a.m. on Wednesday, during the dead of night.

As a result of this bill, nearly 14 million Americans will lose their healthcare, and millions more will pay higher premiums, co-pays and deductibles. Hospitals will close, nursing homes will shut down and people will die. This bill makes the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history. It takes food out of the mouths of children, seniors, veterans and people with disabilities. The GOP Tax Scam gives hundreds of billions in tax breaks to wealthy Republican donors like Elon Musk. If that wasn’t enough, it irresponsibly adds more than $5 trillion to the national debt.

It is deeply troubling that you would attempt to jam this legislation down the throats of the American people. What else are you hiding?

It is imperative that you immediately reschedule the meeting so that it may be debated in the light of day.

Sincerely,
