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."
Thankful for the opportunity to speak to local leaders from across the country this morning at the National League of Cities conference about the work I’m doing to enact comprehensive housing reforms. Together, let us continue working to build affordable housing & lower costs for families.
Missouri farmers and families were already struggling due to the president’s trade wars and tariff taxes. Now his unilateral decision to start another war in the Middle East is further driving up prices on everything from gasoline to fertilizer.
Host: With every passing day, fertilizers, gas, everything is going up. The world is really worried about shortages and the inflationary effect here and abroad. Bessent: A lot of mainstream media is trying to make this into some crisis that it's not
Yesterday I hosted leaders from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines for a roundtable with Kansas City housing leaders to highlight funding opportunities that can expand affordable housing and strengthen our communities. Partnerships like these help deliver real results for #MO05 families.
We sanctioned Russian oil for a reason: to cut off funding for Putin’s aggression. Creating carve-outs now, while claiming to stand up to global threats, undermines the very pressure our allies have worked to build. That’s weakness, not leadership.
While American servicemembers are put in harm’s way, the Commander-in-Chief should be focused on the mission – not rubbing shoulders with billionaires at the golf course.
Trump will depart to Palm Beach for the weekend to spend time at his private club and participate in a fundraiser. This is the second weekend in a row Trump has gone golfing as he risks the lives of American service members.
$11.3 billion in six days. Imagine what that could do for schools, housing, health care, and infrastructure here at home. Before the costs climb even higher, Congress must have a full debate about the path forward.
Defense Department officials told senators in a closed-door briefing that they estimate the first six days of the war in Iran cost more than $11.3 billion, three sources say.
Families are skipping meals and putting their lives on hold just to afford health care. Congress had a chance to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits that lowered premiums for millions—but Republicans blocked it.
Americans are driving less, skipping meals and putting off big life moves, like buying homes or having children, to keep up with health care costs, according to two Gallup polls. https://wapo.st/4rqIC7a
A functioning National Security Council process isn’t optional—it’s how responsible administrations weigh risks, coordinate agencies, and plan for second- and third-order consequences. The absence of that process, especially during a war this president chose, should concern every American.
Violence targeting houses of worship is an attack on our shared values of faith and freedom. I am thinking of the congregation at the West Bloomfield synagogue and praying for the safety of everyone involved.
BREAKING: A suspect is dead after security opened fire following an apparent vehicle ramming at a Detroit-area synagogue, two law enforcement officials say.
Proud to have secured $1 million in Community Project Funding to support this work in #MO05 - investing in programs that give our young people the mentorship, tools, and confidence they deserve.
Great visit to Center High School today sitting in on a Becoming A Man (BAM) Circle with Youth Guidance. These young men showed honesty, leadership, and the power of community in action.
