Since its founding in 1920, the American Civil Liberties Union has been the premier defender of our Constitutional rights, from freedom of speech to the right to reproductive healthcare. I take immense pride in earning a perfect 100% on the latest scoreboard from the ACLU.

Rather than obtaining a judicial warrant, ICE lied about a missing child in order to gain access to a university-owned residential building. These kinds of tactics spread distrust of law enforcement and make it harder to solve crimes.

Ellie Aghayeva – a Columbia University student who was detained early Thursday after the university said federal immigration agents allegedly used false pretenses to enter a campus residential building – has been released, she confirmed on her Instagram account.

Their proposal? ACA plans with $31,000 deductibles. These plans will force Americans to forego medical care and lead to an increase in preventable deaths.

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

As a direct result of Congressional Republicans allowing Affordable Care Act tax credits to expire at the end of last year, millions of Americans saw their premiums double overnight. In response to a crisis of their own creation, the Administration's now scrambling. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/h...

In hopes of meeting the Administration's mass deportation goals, ICE is resorting to tactics that can only be described as shameful. When your neighbors don't feel safe reporting crime, it makes all of us less safe. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

He reported a stolen car. Then ICE arrested him at a police station, he says.

Proud to announce that I earned a perfect 100% score from the League of Conservation Voters for the year 2025! While environmental protections come under attack, I will continue to stand up for renewable energy, clean air and water, and meaningful strategies to combat climate change.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govFeb 26(source)

Believing in the safety and effectiveness of time-tested vaccines should be a basic requirement for anyone nominated to serve as Surgeon General of the United States. Casey Means fails this test. Being unqualified may be the one and only qualification for serving in the Trump Administration.

Some questions have a simple yes or no answer. But Trump’s nominee for surgeon general, Dr. Casey Means, wouldn’t give me a straight answer about whether or not the flu vaccine reduces deaths and hospitalizations—something HHS Secretary RFK, Jr. has denied. youtube.com/shorts/tbDE6...

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govFeb 26(source)

The President's proposal to exert control over elections is a clear-as-day sign of desperation. Unconstitutional tactics like these are another reminder that this Administration has failed to deliver for the American people.

Exclusive: Pro-Trump activists are circulating a draft executive order alleging Chinese interference in the 2020 election, proposing a national emergency to expand presidential power over voting, like banning mail ballots and voting machines.

Deporting unaccompanied children without even giving them a chance to speak with an attorney shreds the moral fiber of this country. We must do better.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govFeb 26(source)

Ten FBI agents are without a job today because they chose to uphold their oath to the Constitution when the former President flagrantly violated federal law. Politically-motivated firings of FBI agents undermines the rule of law and our country's security.

Now that FBI Director Kash Patel has returned from his taxpayer-funded trip to the Olympics aboard a government jet, he has continued the Trump Administration's campaign of retribution. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

Since the founding of the first YMCA on American soil nearly 175 years ago, the institution has promoted youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Happy to sit down for an episode of The Movement: A Podcast from the YMCA of Greater Kansas City! youtu.be/26u1GO7WJJA

This is a bipartisan, common-sense approach, and I’m proud to sign onto this letter that would make E15 available no matter the month!

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

Allowing for the year-round sale of E15 gas would lower prices at the pump, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and support American farmers at a time when producing food has become an increasingly risky pursuit.

In the richest country on the planet, this development is entirely unacceptable. It was also entirely preventable.

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

In 2025, the United States hit a 32-year high for the number of recorded measles cases. American children are now suffering the consequences of an unqualified vaccine skeptic being appointed Secretary of Health and Human Services.

There are more than 900 confirmed measles cases in the United States, as of the CDC’s most recent weekly count Some experts worry the U.S. will lose its measles elimination status this year, a designation it has had since 2000.

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

However, it makes little sense to celebrate the Founding Generation while using the full force of the federal government to undermine Americans' First Amendment right to free speech. The politicization of the FTC and the FCC is deeply concerning and must come to an end.

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

Last night, the President repeatedly invoked the founding of this country as the United States approaches its 250th birthday. Like all Americans, I too take pride in knowing that our commitment to the belief that "all men are created equal" has so endured.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Under President Trump, the FTC and FCC are “engaged in a hostile takeover of the marketplace of ideas,” writes the editorial board.

As the cost of groceries, rent, and prescription drugs continue to increase, we need leaders committed to bringing down the cost of living.

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

For the 108,000 Americans who lost their manufacturing jobs last year, the 3 million Americans losing their food assistance, and the 10 million Americans losing their Medicaid, the answer is a resounding no.
