By the end of the week, the administration will have spent more than $25 billion in their war with Iran—and they are requesting another $200 billion.
All while driving up gas and grocery costs for hardworking American families.

As gas prices skyrocket due to the president’s reckless war in the Middle East, American families are paying the bill.
Congress could fund TSA today.
But the president would rather use TSA employees and American travelers as hostages over his extreme demands to keep ICE unchecked and enact voter suppression legislation.

The president’s reckless decision to start another war in the Middle East has sent gas prices soaring, putting more strain on families that were already struggling to stay afloat.
I’ll keep fighting to end this unnecessary conflict & lower costs for Missourians.

Congress is ready to make a bipartisan deal that will end the chaos at airports across the country.
But the president is personally standing in the way.
Instead, he is sending untrained ICE agents to airports nationwide.
16 years ago, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law by President Obama, giving millions of Americans quality, affordable health care.
While Republicans fight to defund health care programs, @housedemocrats.bsky.social are working the strengthen the ACA & lower costs for the people.
This week, I introduced the Fair Wages for Incarcerated Workers Act with @booker.senate.gov and @kamlager-dove.house.gov to mandate minimum wage for all incarcerated workers.
Happy to have the support of criminal justice reform advocate Kim Kardashian!

Senate Republicans have blocked funding for TSA SEVEN times.
Republicans should stop holding these federal workers hostage and pass a bipartisan funding bill while Congress continues to negotiate much needed guardrails on ICE.
TSA callout rate reaches nearly 40% at Atlanta airport as partial shutdown continues www.wrdw.com/2026/03/19/t...
FIFA has an obligation to ensure every fan has a chance to enjoy the World Cup—which is why I’ve joined @davids.house.gov and dozens of my colleagues to urge an end to their dynamic pricing model and more affordable tickets for loyal fans.
Whether it was investments in public infrastructure projects or the need to remove red tape to enable the construction of more affordable housing, it was great to sit down with the National League of Cities & local representatives this week to discuss how Congress can better serve our communities.
Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating Eid Al-Fitr in #MO05 and around the world!
Wishing you and your loved ones peace and many blessings as you celebrate the end of Ramadan.
Always a pleasure meeting with Chancellor Agrawal and representatives from @umkc.bsky.social.
I’ll keep working to ensure Congress continues investing in these vital institutions and the education they provide to students in Kansas City and across the country!
Rather than expanding affordable health care or investing in hardworking families here at home, the administration wants Congress to provide $200 BILLION for the president’s war of choice in the Middle East.
I cannot in good conscience support that.
Our legislation would ensure incarcerated workers are paid at least the federal minimum wage, eliminate excessive wage deductions, and extend basic labor protections to workers in correctional facilities nationwide.

The time has come to end the exploitation of prison workers across the country.
That’s why I’m introducing the Fair Wages for Incarcerated Workers Act with @booker.senate.gov and @kamlager-dove.house.gov.

Kansas City is beyond grateful for the contributions of Gwen Grant and her decades of civil rights activism.
I thank her for her service to our communities and wish her well as she heads into a well-deserved retirement!

Honored to receive the Congressional Partnership Award from COSCDA for my work to strengthen HUD housing programs, including the HOME Program which is essential to the development of affordable housing nationwide.
Together, we’ll keep fighting to ensure every family can achieve the American Dream!
Working-class families were already struggling to stay afloat, but the president’s tariff taxes and reckless trade wars are driving up prices.
Now, rather than enact policies that will lower costs, the president has launched a war of choice in the Middle East that has sent energy costs soaring.
We need an all-of-the-above energy approach, including biofuels like E15 and renewables.
