Whether it was investments in public infrastructure projects or the need to remove red tape to enable the construction of more affordable housing, it was great to sit down with the National League of Cities & local representatives this week to discuss how Congress can better serve our communities.
Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating Eid Al-Fitr in #MO05 and around the world! Wishing you and your loved ones peace and many blessings as you celebrate the end of Ramadan.
Always a pleasure meeting with Chancellor Agrawal and representatives from @umkc.bsky.social. I’ll keep working to ensure Congress continues investing in these vital institutions and the education they provide to students in Kansas City and across the country!
Kansas City is beyond grateful for the contributions of Gwen Grant and her decades of civil rights activism. I thank her for her service to our communities and wish her well as she heads into a well-deserved retirement! www.kansascity.com/opinion/opn-...
Honored to receive the Congressional Partnership Award from COSCDA for my work to strengthen HUD housing programs, including the HOME Program which is essential to the development of affordable housing nationwide. Together, we’ll keep fighting to ensure every family can achieve the American Dream!
Working-class families were already struggling to stay afloat, but the president’s tariff taxes and reckless trade wars are driving up prices. Now, rather than enact policies that will lower costs, the president has launched a war of choice in the Middle East that has sent energy costs soaring.
Wholesale prices rose sharply in February, providing another sign that inflation continues to percolate even aside from rising energy prices. Full details: cnb.cx/4sL85JE
The president’s reckless and regressive economic policies have delivered higher costs and fewer jobs to American families. Congress must take action to reverse course and provide relief before more damage is done.
CNBC on new bad inflation data: "It's almost the worst of all worlds. I guess stagflation would come close to describing the situation."
The American Dream is simply out of reach for far too many Americans—which is why I’m fighting to cut outdated regulations and incentivize the construction of affordable housing across the country. Together, we’ll keep working to ensure every family has a safe and affordable place to call home.
I was honored to speak with @sen-marcmorial.bsky.social and members of the National Urban League about the Housing for the 21st Century Act and the work I’m doing to expand affordable housing and lower costs for hardworking families in communities nationwide.
Grateful for the opportunity to sit down with local leaders from Lee’s Summit to discuss the need for Congress to boost investments in public safety and critical infrastructure. I’ll keep fighting to bring these investments back home to #MO05!
If you’re waiting in an extraordinarily long TSA line or awaiting assistance from FEMA, you can thank congressional Republicans for blocking funding for these critical agencies. Democrats will continue working to restore funding while holding ICE accountable.
REMINDER: Democrats tried SIX TIMES to fund the parts of DHS that Congress agrees on—like paying TSA workers, FEMA, and cyber defense. Republicans blocked us every single time.
As diesel prices skyrocket, so do the goods that are shipped around the world. American families are already struggling to keep up with rising prices—and the president’s reckless war with Iran is only exacerbating the crisis.
U.S. diesel prices on Tuesday topped $5 per gallon for the first time in more than three years, as the escalating war in the Middle East has triggered the biggest oil supply disruption in history. Full details: cnb.cx/40B4MJc
The Trump administration says the quiet part out loud: American consumers are the last of their concern right now. Hardworking families deserve better.
Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."
