What’s truly unavoidable now is the consequence of reckless choices. This entire crisis was preventable.

Comer on "boots on the ground" in Iran: "Sometimes that's unavoidable in a situation like this"

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 4(source)

This is a cheap trick to score political points while President Trump’s costly, aimless, and illegal war with Iran puts American lives in danger.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 4(source)

House Republicans are using President Trump’s war with Iran to attempt to force Congress to fund ICE and CBP without substantial reforms despite their policies of harassing, detaining, beating, and killing American citizens.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 4(source)

Thousands of Americans stranded abroad, and the President admits there was no evacuation plan. No imminent threat. No strategy. Just reckless decision-making, costing American lives and billions of taxpayer dollars.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 4(source)

I joined colleagues in calling on the State Department to use all available resources – including charter flights & coordination with allies – to help stranded Americans return home safely and quickly.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 4(source)

Americans abroad should not be left without clear guidance & help from their government amidst Trump’s war of choice.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 3(source)

Our focus should be on fairness, accountability, and supporting the workforce that makes the system work, not undermining it.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 3(source)

Terminating union contracts and gutting enforcement doesn’t make taxes more fair, it lets billionaires off the hook and punishes the people who help everyday Americans file and pay what they owe.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 3(source)

While in the thick of tax season, Trump is waging war on the very workers who ensure working families aren’t buried by an unfair system. www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

IRS, Fiscal Service defy judges, terminate union contracts

The move to ax collective bargaining agreements with the National Treasury Employees Union, until now protected by a federal court order, comes just two weeks after the Office of Personnel Management ...

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 3(source)

You truly can’t make this make sense. Firing Iran counter-intel experts days before knowingly escalating tensions is reckless and puts our national security at risk. The American people deserve competence, not chaos. www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

Kash Patel’s latest firings ousted agents with expertise in Iran

The FBI director gutted a specialized, global espionage unit of counterintelligence agents, just days before Operation Epic Fury.

100 days to go until the FIFA World Cup comes to the U.S. With matches, fan events, and visitors from around the world, this tournament will be a major moment for Kansas City and a chance to showcase our heartland hospitality on a global stage.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 3(source)

Instead of ensuring American safety and strong diplomatic footing, we see the consequences of starving our foreign service at the very moment it’s needed most. The American people shouldn’t pay the price for ideological budget slashing.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 3(source)

Cuts driven by DOGE’s overhaul have hollowed out the State Department’s capacity abroad, crippling our ability to help citizens in crisis.

Maj. Gen. Randy Manner (Ret.): "It's a little bit disheartening to hear that the UK govt is arranging transport for the British citizens, whereas here as Americans we feel abandoned. The State Dept is in survival mode because as we know the administration reduced their budget by almost half."

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 3(source)

So when Secretary Noem doubles down on unfounded attacks instead of accountability – from ad contracts to the deaths of American citizens under DHS operations – it’s not just shameful, it’s a dereliction of duty.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 3(source)

@propublica.org org uncovered that a firm with deep personal and political ties to Secretary Noem’s inner circle quietly received hundreds of millions in DHS ad contracts tied to taxpayer-funded border messaging that bypassed normal competitive bidding. bit.ly/4rQG8jE

Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts

The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rule...

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 3(source)

This isn’t just rhetoric – it’s part of a pattern abusing the power of public office for political ends and rewarding allies.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 3(source)

Shame on Secretary Noem. Instead of taking responsibility for agents under her leadership killing American citizens, she’s doubling down on false and inflammatory rhetoric. Leadership requires accountability, truth, and humility in the face of tragedy. The American people deserve far better.

Kristi Noem refuses to retract her statements that Renee Good and Alex Pretti were domestic terrorists

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 2(source)

Congress must reassert its constitutional role and pass the War Powers resolution requiring Trump’s illegal regime change war to end before this spirals further

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 2(source)

Only one in four Americans support these strikes. The American people were promised a “President of Peace”. Instead, they’re getting unilateral escalation with no clear authorization, no defined strategy, and no public support.

Only one in four Americans approves of the US strikes that killed Iran's leader, while about half — including one in four Republicans — believe President Trump is too willing to use military force, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that concluded on Sunday reut.rs/4aSiAoF
