I will continue working with my Financial Services Committee colleagues and my partners across the aisle until we provide the relief that working-class families deserve.
Because every American deserves a real chance at the American Dream.

From revamping the HOME program to revitalizing our federal rural housing programs, the legislation includes sweeping reforms and multiple bipartisan bills I have championed as the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Housing & Insurance.
This bipartisan, comprehensive housing package will streamline housing development and affordability by updating outdated programs, removing regulatory roadblocks, and increasing local control.
It’s time that Congress took action to lower housing costs for American families.
Ranking Member Waters, Chairman Flood, Chairman Hill, and I have worked on legislation that cuts unnecessary red tape, accelerates the development of affordable housing, and reduces costs for families.
We’re proud to introduce the Housing for the 21st Century Act.

“The tax guidance is the latest win for large corporations and would provide additional tax benefits to companies”
Meanwhile, the administration is allowing ACA tax credits to expire, ensuring health care costs skyrocket for working-class families.

After seeing several allegations of abuse at veterinary schools, including 100-hour workweeks without pay, I’m calling on these institutions to provide information about the protections in place to prevent the exploitation of students.

Additionally, the bill would provide workers, teachers, and students with the resources to develop integral skills required to participate in the workforce of the future.
Our legislation would require a detailed study to grow our understanding of artificial intelligence (AI), its impact on the economy and workforce, and determine the skills necessary for workers to succeed.
It is essential that we take steps today to prepare our nation and our workforce for the economic consequences that are rapidly approaching with the growing adoption of AI.
That’s why I’ve introduced the Workforce of the Future Act with @replamonica.bsky.social.

Senator Durbin is absolutely right: the power to declare war lies with Congress.
The American people want the administration to focus on lowering costs for hardworking families—not instigating another regime change war to secure more oil reserves for Big Oil.
It is deeply disappointing that Congressional Republicans continue to block an extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits that help working-class families afford health care.
Tens of millions of Americans, including 48,000 Missourians in #MO05, will see their premiums sky rocket because of it.
The president’s extreme and inhumane mass deportation agenda undermines the civil liberties of American citizens and endangers beloved members of our community.
We all must continue to stand up, speak out, and demand accountability for these abuses of power.

After securing $15 million in federal funding to support the redevelopment of Parade Park, I’m thrilled that the Missouri Housing Development Commission has approved a package of federal and state support, demonstrating significant backing for affordable housing.

The president has no solutions to lower costs for American families—so he falls back on xenophobia and scapegoating immigrants.
How does this help American families afford their groceries, housing, or health care?
apnews.com/article/trum...
After starting a trade war that has devastated Missouri farmers, the president is giving a Band-Aid to American producers that won’t arrive until next year.
Our farmers want open markets and a level playing field—not another handout that won’t address the crisis.
Millions of American families are about to see their health care premiums more than double in cost if ACA tax credits are not extended.
But Republicans don’t care and are willing to let health care costs skyrocket.

To ensure proper protections are in place for students, I’m calling on 36 veterinary schools across the country to provide information on their policies and procedures to better understand how we can prevent abuse.

And no student should go hungry because they do not have adequate time for meals in between work shifts.
That does not serve students by enhancing their skills—it serves the institutions who are receiving free labor.
