First, the president destroyed important trading relationships that American farmers depend on. Then, the president handed Argentina a $40 billion bailout and undermined farmers further. Now, he’s working to undercut American cattleman. How is this America First?
Why U.S. cattle ranchers say Trump's Argentine beef import talk is no solution to domestic food supply threat
Head Start and other programs that families depend on are not bargaining chips. That’s why I’m in Washington pushing for a bipartisan budget bill that will reopen government and calling on the administration to renew grant funding for Head Start. www.kcur.org/education/20...
The government has been shut down for 3 weeks—and House Republicans have been on vacation for over a month. Now, they’ve canceled votes and extended their vacation another week. Completely irresponsible and out of touch.
House Republicans stopped revising their legislative calendar back in July. So I updated it for them. Since July 4, the House has conducted 20 days of business in 16 weeks. Oct. 27-30 remains TBD.
Instead of sitting down with Democrats and negotiating a bipartisan budget that prevents healthcare costs from skyrocketing, House Republicans have been on vacation for the past month. It’s time for them to return to Washington and get back to work on behalf of American families!
There are thousands of Missouri farmers who are fighting for their livelihoods at this very moment. Instead of providing relief to these hardworking Americans, the president handed $40 billion to bailout his failing friend in Argentina.
Q: What do you have to say to farmers who feel that the deal is benefitting Argentina more than it is them? TRUMP: Look, Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady. You don't know anything about it. You understand what that means? They are dying
The wealthy get a $1 trillion tax cut. Argentina gets a $40 billion bailout. Trump gets a $200 million ballroom. Kristi Noem gets $172 million in private jets. But Republicans refuse to lower health care costs for families or provide relief to American farmers.
The Trump administration just ordered two Gulfstream luxury private jets for Kristi Noem at a cost of over $172 million. This comes as Americans can barely afford groceries.
This weekend, millions of Americans stood together and did what Americans do best—exercise their first amendment right to protest their government. It is extremely irresponsible that the Speaker and Republican leaders continue to smear these Americans and lie about the peaceful protests.
KARL: You talked about anarchists, antifa advocates, the pro-Hamas wing. I mean, 'Hate America Rally' sounds like enemies. MIKE JOHNSON: Well, there were a lot of hateful messages yesterday. We have video & photos of pretty violent rhetoric calling out the president. I don't think it's pro-American
Wishing a very happy Diwali to all those celebrating in #MO05 and around the world! May this Festival of Lights be filled with joy and spent with friends, family, and loved ones.
16 days ago, Republicans shut down the government rather than negotiate with Democrats to lower health care costs. Since then, House Republicans have been enjoying a vacation as public servants work without pay. How about you start by bringing House Republicans back to work?
Mike Johnson: "Many of you have asked all of us, 'How does it end?' We have no idea."
The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress refuse to spend a dime helping to lower health care costs for American families—but they’re more than happy to give a $40 BILLION handout to Trump’s personal friend in Argentina. It’s outrageous.
The Trump administration is working on an additional $20 billion support package for Argentina. If completed, it would bring the total price tag of a U.S. backstop plan for Buenos Aires to $40 billion.
The president promised he would lower costs for hardworking families on Day One. Instead, his tariff taxes immediately started driving up prices on everything from health care and housing to groceries and new cars.
The Protect Our TEETH Act would require the EPA to consult and publish a rapid response evidence review by independent and nonpartisan experts at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) when proposing new water fluoridation guidance. cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
For 80 years, the addition of fluoride to community water supply has helped reduce tooth decay & improve dental health, especially for those who can't afford to regularly see the dentist. My Protect Our TEETH Act would ensure any attempts to change these policies are backed by science—not politics.
When making policy decisions that impact the health and safety of American families, it’s important that Congress and the administration use science-backed data from independent experts. That’s why I introduced the Protect Our TEETH Act. kansascitymag.com/a-bill-intro...
“This is nothing but an attempt to intimidate and deny people the right to petition their government” Republicans are terrified of voters, which is why they’re working overtime to prevent citizens from making their voices heard But the power of the people is much stronger than the people in power
Lawsuit, threat of criminal charges part of GOP effort to block vote on Missouri map #moleg #mogov
The Voting Rights Act is the bedrock of American democracy, upholding the voting rights of ALL Americans. Today, as the Supreme Court considers a case to destroy the Voting Rights Act, I stood with Americans from across the country in defense of this landmark legislation.
“Over the 12 months ended in August, the price of coffee increased 20.9%, Labor Department data showed; ground beef was up 12.8%, and bananas rose 6.6%. Dairy, fruits and vegetables and cereals have all become pricier.” The president’s tariff taxes are driving up prices & hurting American families.
Upset over higher food prices, consumers are cutting back on purchases, stockpiling certain items or exploring more-affordable stores.
Special Ed programs are life-changing for millions of families across the country, and the workers who make them possible deserve our respect. It is reprehensible that they are being targeted and unnecessarily terminated by the Trump administration. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
