While families & mom-and-pop businesses faced the brunt of the damage caused by the president’s illegal tariff scheme, the administration’s current refund system prioritizes payments for giant corporations. @repanalilia.bsky.social & I are calling for targeted relief to those hurt the most.

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

Unions like @cwaunion.bsky.social are the defenders of workers nationwide. Thankful for the opportunity to speak with hundreds of CWA members this week as we continue fighting for a livable wage, stronger worker protections, and the right to collectively bargain.

The president promised he would bring prices down on Day One. Instead, prices are accelerating at the fastest pace in years because of reckless Republican policies and the disastrous war in the Middle East., www.nytimes.com/2026/05/28/b...

Prices in the U.S. Are Rising at the Fastest Pace in Years

“We have no reason to take a back seat to any city, any community, anywhere. This is Kansas City, Missouri.” www.kansascity.com/news/local/a...

KC’s 18th and Vine ushers in next era with new look: ‘We’re going to take off’

“This is more than just a rehab or redevelopment of the area,” one neighborhood leader said. “This is a reintroduction of culture and art and identity as Black Kansas City.”

More than 3 million Americans are impacted by Celiac Disease in the U.S., forcing them to maintain a careful diet or face serious health challenges that come with the disease. I introduced the Celiac Safety Act to update our labeling laws and protect these Americans. fox4kc.com/news/rep-cle...

Rep. Cleaver introduces Celiac Safety Act to strengthen food labeling law

The legislation is meant to strengthen food labeling law and protect the roughly 3 million Americans with celiac disease.

Pride Month is a celebration of love, authenticity, and community. As your representative, I proudly stand with LGBTQI+ Americans in #MO05 and across the country today and every day.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMay 28(source)

While Americans are struggling to put food on the table, keep up with rising energy costs, and pay for health care, the administration is focused on illegally putting the president’s face on money. As the president made very clear: “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation"

Breaking news: Trump administration officials have pressed the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring the president’s portrait, in what would be the first appearance of a living person on U.S. currency in more than 150 years.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMay 28(source)

Instead of fighting to improve the financial well-being of hardworking American families, the president wakes up every morning and focuses on ways in which he can enrich his own. Americans deserve so much better.

NEW: When the Pentagon announced a $620 million loan last year to a startup linked to Donald Trump Jr., defense officials and the company tried to tamp down suspicions of cronyism. We found that the request came directly from the White House.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMay 28(source)

Manufacturing remains a cornerstone of Missouri’s economy, and keeping our region competitive means investing in workers, strengthening supply chains, and supporting innovation here at home.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMay 28(source)

Glad to join Missouri Enterprise and regional manufacturers to discuss how we build a stronger, more resilient economy that creates good-paying jobs across our communities.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMay 28(source)

Inflation is rising, wages are falling, and the economy is slowing more than expected. Whether it is the reckless tariff taxes or the disastrous war in the Middle East, Republican policies are failing the American people. www.wsj.com/economy/q1-g...

U.S. GDP Growth Revised Lower for First Quarter

The number was lowered from the initial reported pace of 2%.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMay 28(source)

The historic 18th & Vine Jazz District is central to the story of Kansas City. After securing $4 million to support the project, I was proud to join local officials for the grand-opening of the new pedestrian plaza that will bring the community together for farmer’s markets, festivals, & concerts.

Elected officials should not be allowed to personally profit from stock trading while in office—which is why I have long supported a stock trading ban in Congress. It’s clear that ban needs to extend to the White House as well. finance.yahoo.com/markets/stoc...

Trump’s Trading Volume Just Jumped 10x and Topped All of Congress Combined

Once again, administration officials are touting their work to ensure hardworking families are forced to spend more of their hard-earned paychecks on everything from gas to groceries. Completely out of touch with the struggles of working-class Americans.

America should be boosting federal funding for pediatric cancer research. Instead, the administration has halted funding for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium—the oldest pediatric cancer research network in the U.S. @davids.house.gov & I are demanding to know why. www.kctv5.com/2026/05/24/m...

On Memorial Day, I was humbled to join the National WWI Museum and Memorial and our fellow Kansas Citians in honoring the fallen heroes who gave their lives to defend our nation and the principles we hold dear. Yesterday, today, and every day, we are extraordinarily grateful for their sacrifice.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMay 25(source)

On Memorial Day, I hope every American will take the time to recognize and give thanks to the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we may have the freedoms we cherish today. We are forever grateful for their selflessness and sacrifice. May their memory be an eternal blessing.
