Great meeting with Members of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, including Missouri’s own MFA, Inc. I always value hearing directly from those on the front lines of agriculture as we work to strengthen Missouri’s farm economy and support rural communities.

Excited to reintroduce the Transportation for Reentry Act! Reliable transportation opens the door to work, education, healthcare, and opportunity. Investing in second chances means investing in safer communities and a stronger workforce. More here: cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
Congressman Cleaver Reintroduces Legislation to Remove Transportation Barriers for Formerly Incarcerated Citizens

While I could not support final passage of the NDAA, I’m proud that my bipartisan amendment investing $5 million in alpha-gal syndrome research was included in the bill. My full statement below:

Every day Trump’s open-ended war continues, the costs grow higher – for our servicemembers, our economy, and our standing in the world. The American people deserve foreign policy grounded in strategy, diplomacy, and constitutional accountability.

The costs of the Iran war are rising, as President Trump and Tehran signal no letup in expanding conflict.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 22(source)
Americans don’t want higher gas prices. They also don’t want an unnecessary war that makes life harder and more expensive. It's time our policies reflect that.

Q: Americans are firmly against this war--- TRUMP: Well, Americans aren't against the war. A poll just came out. Americans don't want high gasoline prices, but they're not against the war. That just came out loud and clear in a poll.

You can’t wage war in the name of stopping nuclear proliferation while facilitating it elsewhere because there’s money to be made. Any nuclear cooperation agreement should include the strongest possible safeguards against weapons development, without exception.

U.S. President Donald Trump approves a nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that may allow the kingdom to enrich uranium, two AP sources say.

Today, I’m proud to introduce the CHARTS Act. For too long, long-term care providers have been left behind in the transition to electronic health records. This bill helps close that gap – improving care, reducing costly errors, and putting patients first!
Congressman Cleaver Introduces CHARTS Act to Modernize and Improve Long-Term Care for Seniors
(Washington, D.C.) – Today, U.S. Representative Emanuel Cleaver, II (D-MO), introduced the Connecting Health and Records Technology for Seniors (CHARTS) Act, legislation to help long-term and post-acu...

Every number on this chart is a family, a senior, or a child. In the wealthiest nation on Earth, hunger is a policy choice and Republicans made theirs when they passed a budget that slashed SNAP to finance tax breaks for the wealthy.

🚨NEW: In the 9 months after last year’s reconciliation law enacted unprecedented SNAP cuts, the number of people receiving SNAP fell by more than 4.5 million. Based on available data, we estimate that at least 1.5 million fewer kids are receiving SNAP. www.cbpp.org/research/foo...
Graphic showing the change in SNAP participation from July 2024 to April 2026. Between the reconciliation law's enactment in July 2025 and April 2026, the number of people receiving SNAP fell by more than 4.5 million.

Kansas City continues to lead. We’re celebrating $34 MILLION for the KC Bio Tech Hub to grow jobs, strengthen our economy, and accelerate the next generation of biotechnology and advanced manufacturing. Another major investment in our region’s future that I was proud to support.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 21(source)
Republicans are choosing to spend your money on warfare instead of your health care. The $73B war chest Republicans want to give Trump and Hegseth for their botched Iran War could instead fund a 3-year extension of the ACA tax credits, lowering health care costs for more than 20 million Americans.

We were promised a manufacturing renaissance. Instead, workers got layoffs, businesses got uncertainty, and communities got left behind. Turns out “golden age” wasn’t an economic plan, it was just a campaign slogan.

Trump claimed his tariffs would bring about a golden age of American manufacturing. Yet since his re-election, we've lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs. Over the same time period, Biden had created 625,000.

The rule of law means the law applies to everyone. Weakening independent investigations into federal agents creates a force that is not accountable for its actions. Americans don’t want this.

Breaking News: Federal agents are said to have been told that the FBI will no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents. If enacted, such a change would sharply limit law enforcement scrutiny of immigration agents.

If the test is whether graduates earn enough, perhaps it’s time to ask why so many essential careers are still underpaid, not whether they deserve an education. www.npr.org/2026/06/30/n...
Under a new federal rule, colleges must leave grads better off or lose financial aid
If an undergraduate program's graduates don't earn more than workers who never went to college, that program could be cut off from federal student loans. But is a degree just about making more money?

Foreign policy isn’t abstract - it reaches every kitchen table in America. When reckless decisions disrupt global markets, working families pay the price. We didn’t have to be here.

Amid the intensifying attacks between Iran and the U.S., the average price of gas in the United States hit $4 a gallon on Monday, the second time it has reached that mark since the war disrupted global oil supplies, according to AAA.
