It was great to kick off the August district work period in Raytown with a congressional update and a conversation about the issues that matter most to our community. Thank you to everyone who came out, asked thoughtful questions, and shared your ideas. I’ll keep taking our voices back to Washington

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 30(source)

I’m fighting to restore and strengthen these programs so we can keep families healthy and covered.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 30(source)

Medicare & Medicaid made health care accessible for millions of Americans. 61 years later, Republicans’ Medicaid cuts have ripped coverage away from kids, families, seniors & created a health care crisis in communities nationwide.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 30(source)

Endless wars cost lives, drain our military readiness, weaken our strategic posture, and divert resources from the challenges facing families right here at home. America deserves a foreign policy guided by strategy and not impulse.

The US military’s weapons stockpiles, including its inventory of crucial air defense missiles, remain severely depleted following a major flare up of the war with Iran in recent weeks, according to three sources familiar with Pentagon data and a new report by outside analysts. https://cnn.it/4fsFUvj

First Trump spent years trying to undermine confidence in our elections, now he’s trying to make voting itself more difficult. Americans deserve leadership that strengthens our democracy instead of chipping away at it. time.com/article/2026...

Trump Asks Supreme Court to Allow Restrictions on Mail-In Ballots Before Midterms

The President has pushed to remake U.S. elections ahead of the November midterms, where Republican control of Congress is at stake.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 29(source)

Tax cuts tilted toward the ultrawealthy and policies that prioritize billionaires over workers got us here. It’s time to build an economy that works for everyone, not just the richest 34 people.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 29(source)

In the wealthiest nation on Earth, no one working full time should struggle to afford housing, groceries, or health care while a handful of billionaires amass unprecedented fortunes. This level of inequality didn’t happen by accident.

The richest 34 Americans now control $2.6 trillion in wealth, equivalent to 12% of U.S. national income. This is the worst wealth concentration in U.S. history.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 29(source)

First Medicare. Then Medicaid. Then affordable health coverage. Now prescription drug costs for seniors. At some point, we have to ask who exactly are Trump and Republicans fighting for? www.wsj.com/health/healt...

Exclusive | Trump Administration to End Medicare Drug Plan Subsidy

Program that held down premiums won’t be renewed for 2027, resulting in higher costs for some seniors.

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

Every increase in interest rates means a family paying more for a mortgage, a small business delaying expansion, or a farmer paying more to finance equipment. The economic costs of Trump’s unnecessary war are mounting, and working Americans are footing the bill.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 27(source)

Families are struggling and instead of doing anything to help, Republicans are voting to raise your costs and hand out tax breaks to billionaires – all while Trump wages a reckless and deadly war and dictates which Americans he deems “worthy” of jobs and prosperity.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 27(source)

The Trump Administration cancelled nearly 300 cost-cutting energy projects to punish Americans who did not vote for Trump. And they lied about it. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

Trump Administration Admits Canceling Grants to States That Did Not Vote for Him

Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states “based solely” on whether they backed President Trump in the 2024 election.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 24(source)

Farmers shouldn't have to bear the cost of the President's reckless decisions.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 24(source)

Oil hit $100 a barrel yesterday, but the warning signs from Trump's war of choice with Iran have been here for months. New data shows Missouri farmers ranked 11th in the nation for increased diesel costs during the 2026 planting season - an increase of $58.9 MILLION from the previous year.

Trump promised a manufacturing boom. Instead, we've lost 75,000 jobs and $60 billion in annual factory construction since he took office. 📸: @ms.now @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social

Today marks 16 years since the last federal minimum wage increase. Since then, the cost of housing, groceries, health care, & child care has skyrocketed, leaving millions of workers behind. It's time to raise the wage so that every American can afford to live with dignity.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 24(source)

But a system backed by taxpayers must continually evolve to meet today’s housing challenges. Modernization and stronger oversight will ensure its public mission matches its public benefits.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 24(source)

The Federal Home Loan Bank System remains a cornerstone of our housing finance system, helping communities in Missouri and across the country expand homeownership and invest in affordable housing.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 24(source)

The President promised to lower costs for hardworking Americans on day one. Instead, he’s doubling down on making life more difficult and more expensive. Making these tariffs permanent is a permanent tax on working families.

The Washington Post

The Trump administration is expected to introduce permanent tariffs as soon as this week to replace the temporary import penalties it imposed after the Supreme Court abruptly upended President Trump’s trade strategy earlier this year.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 23(source)

We’ve seen this story before – endless wars cost American lives, explode the deficit, and leave working families paying more while priorities at home are neglected. Congress has a constitutional obligation to reign in President Trump’s costly and harmful war of choice.

BREAKING: The House just passed a war powers resolution that would limit Trump's war on Iran. The vote was 214-208, with four Republicans joining every Democrat in passing the resolution.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 23(source)

“Give me a break” isn’t an economic plan. It’s the President telling working families they’re on their own. Americans deserve leadership that fights to lower costs, as promised.

Trump: They were screaming at me, 'What are you going to do about high prices?' I said give me a break.
