The president is asking Congress to provide hundreds of billions of additional tax dollars to support his war in the Middle East, paid for by slashing investments in housing, health care, and education for the American people. I cannot support that.
Breaking News: The White House said it would ask Congress for about $1.5 trillion for defense in 2027, its highest level in modern history.
From innovative rehab services to a compassionate team committed to recovery, Ignite is helping folks heal with dignity and get back on their feet. Proud to support work that puts patients first.
This investment not only opens doors for students by enabling new research and providing additional experience, but it also strengthens our local talent pipeline and positions our region as a leader in innovation.
I was proud to secure over $1 million in federal funding to help @rockhurstu.bsky.social expand their cutting-edge programs in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence – fields that are critical to our national security and economic growth.
I’m pleased that Speaker Johnson has finally agreed to pass bipartisan legislation to fund critical agencies like TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. Democrats will continue fighting for desperately needed reforms to rein in the president’s extreme mass deportation agenda.
In a significant retreat for Mike Johnson and House Republicans, GOP leaders have reached a deal to end the DHS shutdown
America does not lack the resources to care for our citizens—we lack the leadership. Democrats will continue fighting for investments in healthcare, childcare, and working-class families that make life more affordable here at home.
Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.
Despite the president’s repeated promises to lower costs and create good-paying jobs for American workers, the data continue to show that the opposite is occurring. To reverse these trends, Congress must take steps to end the war in Iran and rescind the president’s harmful tariffs.
US businesses are adding workers at the weakest pace in 15 years, excluding the onset of the pandemic, new data shows, a sign that the “low-hire” labor market had slowed down even before the Middle East conflict threatened to shake the US economy. https://cnn.it/4bYHSR2
As the economy falters and millions of Americans protest in the streets, the president is attempting to seize control of elections and rig the midterms. No president has this power. The courts must strike down this blatantly illegal executive order immediately and protect the right to vote.
President Trump signed an executive order directs the U.S. Postal Service to send ballots only to voters who appear on a list of citizens to be compiled by the Department of Homeland Security with the assistance of the Social Security Administration.
I’m proud to have secured $850,000 in federal funding to support the new Grandview Station, which will serve as a farmers market & public events space for local residents I’ll keep fighting to bring federal investments that boost economic development back home to #MO05 www.kctv5.com/2026/03/31/g...
Chag Pesach Sameach to all those celebrating in #MO05! As you gather with your loved ones around the Seder table, may this season bring peace and happiness. And may we all be inspired by the strength of the Jewish people and the continuous fight for freedom. Happy Passover!
Today, the Supreme Court is hearing a case determining whether the president can unilaterally end birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment is clear. The president cannot rewrite the Constitution. The court must uphold the law and defend birthright citizenship!
This investment not only transforms downtown into a vibrant, accessible hub where families connect, small businesses grow, and local farmers thrive, but it also builds opportunity and strengthens Grandview for generations to come.
