Not looking good for Republican speaker of the House Maga Mike Johnson. Thirteen House Republicans who voted in favor of the disastrous budget bill on Friday. They came out with a letter begging the Republicans in the Senate to basically remove a lot of provisions in the disastrous budget bill. And these House Republicans are basically saying, hey, we need your help. This budget bill's a complete disaster. So we're leaning on you Senate Republicans to fix this disastrous budget bill. Here's their letter right here. I want to share with you what it said, but I want to show you MAGA Mike Johnson's response first. And MAGA Mike Johnson's like it's too late. We can't change it. We've gotten this far. There's nothing we can do. Here's MAGA Mike Johnson saying that. Here, play this clip.

I don't buy their numbers. What do we have other estimates? We worked on the bill for almost 14 months. You can't go back to the drawing board and we shouldn't.

We have a great product deliver here. He's just utterly pathetic. All right, so here's the letter right here asking the Senate to help mitigate the damages that were caused by the House version. And this is by House Republicans. Here's what they say. Dear Majority Leader Thune and Chairman Crapo, as members of the House Republican Conference we write to express our continue support of the common sense energy policy and to urge the Senate to substantively and strategically improve the clean energy tax credit provisions included in the House passed reconciliation bill HR1, the one big beautiful bill act While we were proud and it just so stupid when I read that the one because it's the dumbest thing ever While we were proud to have worked to ensure that the bill did not include a full repeal of the clear of the clean energy tax credits, we remain deeply concerned by several provisions, including those which would abruptly, abruptly terminate Several credits just 60 days after enactment for projects that have not yet begun construction, a highly restrictive and onerous FEOC regime and restrictions to transferability. This approach jeopardizes ongoing development, discourages long term investment, and could significantly delay or cancel energy infrastructure projects across the country. So you mean you oppose the bill? If that was in. Like, y' all realize you are Congress members, right? You are in the House of Representatives. So your plan was to pass just. Y' all, you're all seeing this, right? That's why I read these letters. These 13 Republicans are saying that they purposefully voted on a bill that would bankrupt their congressional districts so that they can then send it to the Senate so the Senate could try to fix their work that destroys their own constituents. That's what they're literally saying right here. They go on to say, Since January, over $14 billion in energy projects have been canceled or delayed, with 4.5 billion scrapped in April alone. Again, pause there. So former President Biden created jobs, right, with the Inflation Reduction act, the Infrastructure act, the CHIPS act and other legislation. But since January, a lot of projects in these Republican districts, Democratic districts too, but in Republican districts, have been canceled, causing their constituents to lose a lot of jobs. Hmm. What happened starting January 2025? Oh, wait, was that when Donald Trump was sworn in and he and Elon Musk and Doge started immediately stopping these contracts that former President Biden pushed forward? You know, you read this and that's why you're like, this is an absolute death cult. Like, these people are addicted to what Donald Trump tormenting and torturing them such that they sell out their own constituents and then privately write this letter begging the Senate for help. It's so bizarre. It goes on and says, without a clear signal from Congress, encouraging continued investment and offering business certainty as these provisions are phased out, project cancellations will continue to snowball without a clear signal from Congress. Your Congress. You are Congress. You writing this letter. That's quite literally what your job is. They go on to say, we respectfully urge the Senate to adopt the following refinements. You adopt it. Why don't you adopt it? That's your job. Is. What are you a constituent? Are you like a constituent of the Senator writing a Dear Senate letter? What are you doing? First, the foreign Entity of concern. FEOC provisions are overly prescriptive. And risk undermining US Competitiveness, particularly against China, by restricting advanced manufacturing and domestic energy production. These provisions should be revised with clear and streamlined requirements that also allow companies additional time to reorganize their supply chains, ensuring a strategic and successful transition. Specifically, the Senate should work with impacted industries to ensure that these requirements are mechanically workable, thoughtfully designed, and offer certainty to critical sectors. Again, that's your job in Congress. Why didn't you do it in your bill? Obviously you all hate this bill, but you're voting on it because it's called one big beautiful bill and you're scared of Donald Trump. So whenever they say oh we love this bill, just point out this letter to if you have MAGA friends, go you realize that the Republicans wrote a letter after they passed this disastrous budget at like 2am to the Senate to fix their their own disastrous budget bill.
