Since the Civil Rights Movement, Black and Jewish Americans have worked together to combat persecution and pursue racial justice for all of God’s children.
A great local history of this everlasting bond here:

A deeply irresponsible and intentionally misleading statement from the third most powerful person in government.
By sowing doubt in our elections, Republicans in Washington are attempting to undermine our democracy and silence the voices of voters.
It’s shameful.
The labor market remains weak due to the president’s tariff taxes dragging down American consumers and small businesses.
And workers are paying the price.
Corruption comes at a cost to the people.
While hardworking families are struggling to stay afloat, the president and his family are enriching themselves like never before.
Americans deserve better.
“Current economic conditions and Trump administration policies could lead to ‘a widespread collapse of American agriculture,’ a bipartisan coalition of former Agriculture Department officials and leaders of farm groups warned”

On World Cancer Day, we remember the lives lost to this horrific disease and honor their memory by striving to eradicate it.
I won’t stop working in Congress to invest in cancer prevention, care, and research that will allow us to find cures and save lives.
With funding for DHS scheduled to lapse in 2 weeks, I call on Republicans in Congress to join with Democrats to enact comprehensive reforms that will put an end to the brutality, protect civil liberties, and ensure accountability.
Anything less is unacceptable.
I cannot in good conscience vote to continue funding for the Department of Homeland Security as federal agents gun down Americans and undermine the constitutional rights of our fellow citizens.
For that reason, I voted against today’s appropriations package.
The president promised he would lower costs and revive American manufacturing.
Instead, his tariff taxes have driven up prices on essential goods and killed good-paying manufacturing jobs across the country.
As the president continues to lie about the 2020 election, and after inciting an insurrection to try to steal it, Americans should take these threats seriously.
Elected officials at every level must stand up to the president’s attempt to rig elections.
Every member of our community deserves safe, stable, and affordable housing.
Following my visit to Bowen Tower last month, I’m pleased the situation has reached a mutually beneficial resolution that will lead to necessary repairs and lower costs for residents.

Americans across the country, including in Kansas City, have made clear that we do not want these detention warehouses in our communities.
Rather than spending billions on inhumane detention centers, Congress should extend ACA tax credits and lower health care costs.

Libraries and access to education are a critical component to rehabilitation and our efforts to reduce recidivism.
That’s why I introduced the Prison Libraries Act to expand library services for incarcerated Americans.
News: ALA welcomes the reintroduction of the Prison Libraries Act, legislation that would create a new federal grant program to support library services for incarcerated people.

For years, America’s national security leaders objected to selling advanced AI chips to the UAE on a bipartisan basis.
After the UAE sent hundreds of millions of dollars to the Trump & Witkoff families, this administration reversed course.
The corruption is staggering.

Last week, I sat down with @kctv5.com to discuss the killings of American citizens in Minneapolis, the extreme actions of ICE, and the need for immediate reforms from Congress.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth!
During the month of February, let us honor the sacrifices and contributions that African Americans have made throughout history to strengthen our great nation.
As we celebrate these achievements, let us also recommit to building on the work of those who came before us.
As the president’s tariff taxes continue to drive up prices, we got another concerning inflation report this morning.
Republicans in Congress must put an end to the president’s reckless and inflationary trade policies before more economic harm is done to working-class families.
Reposted byRep. Emanuel Cleaver
“Our democracy cannot endure if those at the highest levels of government are allowed to operate above the law or beyond consequence,” the congressman said in a statement.
The highest priority for American families is addressing the cost-of-living crisis—and affordable housing is at the very top of the list.
Unfortunately, the president is openly stating his intention is to drive up housing prices even further.
Completely out of touch.
Because of the president’s tariff taxes and regressive economic policies, costs are going up and jobs are getting harder to find.
American families deserve better.
