Inflation is rising, wages are falling, and the economy is slowing more than expected.
Whether it is the reckless tariff taxes or the disastrous war in the Middle East, Republican policies are failing the American people.

The historic 18th & Vine Jazz District is central to the story of Kansas City.
After securing $4 million to support the project, I was proud to join local officials for the grand-opening of the new pedestrian plaza that will bring the community together for farmer’s markets, festivals, & concerts.
Elected officials should not be allowed to personally profit from stock trading while in office—which is why I have long supported a stock trading ban in Congress.
It’s clear that ban needs to extend to the White House as well.

Eid Mubarak!
Wishing a blessed Eid al-Adha to all those observing in #MO05 and around the world!

Community Project Funding plays a critical role in improving public safety and boosting economic development within our communities.
I'm proud to have secured more than $13 million for 20 projects across #MO05 in the latest funding package announced this month.

Once again, administration officials are touting their work to ensure hardworking families are forced to spend more of their hard-earned paychecks on everything from gas to groceries.
Completely out of touch with the struggles of working-class Americans.
America should be boosting federal funding for pediatric cancer research.
Instead, the administration has halted funding for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium—the oldest pediatric cancer research network in the U.S.
@davids.house.gov & I are demanding to know why.

On Memorial Day, I was humbled to join the National WWI Museum and Memorial and our fellow Kansas Citians in honoring the fallen heroes who gave their lives to defend our nation and the principles we hold dear.
Yesterday, today, and every day, we are extraordinarily grateful for their sacrifice.
On Memorial Day, I hope every American will take the time to recognize and give thanks to the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we may have the freedoms we cherish today.
We are forever grateful for their selflessness and sacrifice.
May their memory be an eternal blessing.
Last night, Republicans stopped the House from voting to rein in the president’s disastrous war in Iran because they knew they’d lose.
Americans are against this reckless war that is blowing billions of taxpayer dollars that would be better served helping families here at home.
We won't back down.
Thanks to the administration’s tariff taxes and disastrous war in the Middle East, Memorial Day barbecues are going to be more expensive this year.
Hardworking families were promised lower costs—but they’re paying the price for failed policies in Washington.

Yesterday, I spoke with ABC News Live about the absurd and embarrassing $1.8 BILLION taxpayer-funded slush fund the president awarded himself.
Congress can—and must—push back against this flagrant corruption.

The American people are sick and tired of the partisan bickering.
They want lawmakers to work together and provide solutions that will make their lives better and more affordable.
That's what I came to Congress to do and what I focus on every day.
Rather than ending federal investments into essential studies and clinical trials that could provide the pathway to better treatments and an eventual cure, we should be boosting support for pediatric cancer research.

Brain cancer is the deadliest form of cancer among American children—which is why the U.S. should be increasing investments in pediatric brain cancer research.
But the administration has halted funding altogether.
@davids.house.gov and I are demanding to know why.
As a sponsor of the bipartisan housing package, I’m thankful that lawmakers overwhelmingly approved our legislation to expand the development of affordable housing and lower costs for families.
The American people deserve relief—and I’m fighting to deliver.

Today, the House took a major step toward addressing America’s housing affordability crisis.
I'm proud to have helped author this bipartisan housing package, which includes numerous bills I've sponsored.
I'll continue working to deliver relief to families.

Democracy demands compromise—and there is nothing America cannot accomplish when we work together.
Today, the House is on the precipice of passing the most comprehensive housing bill in decades.
Let’s pass the bill and lower housing costs for the people!

I had the honor of working with Barney Frank on the @ushousefsc.bsky.social for many years.
He was a good man, a trailblazer, and a tenacious defender of American families.
My prayers are with his loved ones during this difficult time. May his memory be a blessing.
