With another email. I guess the video messages are not his usual MO.
Oh, well, it was fun while it lasted.
Anyway, this is what was in the letter:
Dear David,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts regarding budget reconciliation. Your feedback is essential as we work together to shape policies that benefit Pennsylvania and our country.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB), a budget reconciliation bill focused on tax policy, national security, and energy production. The bill makes permanent key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), including the lowering individual tax rates, an enhanced and doubled Child Tax Credit, and the increased standard deduction claimed by more than 90 percent of taxpayers. It also eliminates taxes on tips and overtime pay for millions of workers, eliminates taxes on auto loan interest for new cars made in the United States, provides a $6,000 bonus exemption for seniors, and strengthens the employer-provided childcare tax credit. In addition, the bill includes a number of other measures aimed at delivering tax relief for families and small businesses.
The OBBB also includes investments in border security, resources for state and local law enforcement, modernization of the U.S. industrial base, improvements to service members’ quality of life, and domestic energy development.
I supported this bill because it delivers meaningful tax relief to millions of Pennsylvania families and prevents what would have been the largest tax increase in American history—over $4 trillion. It fulfills key promises that both President Trump and I have made to secure our border, strengthen our national defense, unleash American energy, and lower costs for consumers. I believe these provisions will make a real difference for working families and small businesses across the Commonwealth.
It is an honor and a privilege to serve our great Commonwealth in the United States Senate. I appreciate having the benefit of your comments on this important matter. I am always grateful to hear from my constituents.
Given the contents, it's safe to assume that Senator McCormick is responding to this blog post from June 30.
In that letter, I asked about how many of the estimated 10.9 million people who would lose their health insurance and how many of the estimated 2.4 million people who would loose medicare were from Pennsylvania. It's also been estimated that as many as 51,000 people would die due to the One Big Beautiful Bill.
I asked the Senator:
How many of your constituents will have to lose their medical benefits (or their lives) just to order to pay for this upward distribution of wealth, Senator?
Senator Dave McCormick answered none of these questions.
He did say that the bill "delivers meaningful tax relief to millions of Pennsylvania families and prevents what would have been the largest tax increase in American history" when in reality, as the Congressional Budget Office said:
Higher-income households would benefit the most by receiving a larger tax cut because they earn more money. The agency said the lowest 10 percent of earners would see a $1,600 or 3.9 percent reduction in their available income and benefits per year, adjusted for inflation, mainly due to cuts in Medicaid and SNAP.
So this is a "response" of sorts. If you wanna accept gaslighting as a response.
Which I don't.
