"Politicians are denying our children the unified voice they deserve in DC" "Whoever drew this map might have understood political calculations, but do you really think it's fair to our kids?" Missourians will not be silenced. We'll continue to stand up & speak out www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...
Only one percent of real estate development companies are owned by Black & Latino developers. I introduced the SPUR Housing Act with @cleaver.house.gov to remedy this gap & level the development playing field by offering minority developers the tools they need to build & grow their own companies.
By providing emerging developers with the support to pursue projects in rural and urban communities alike, we can create good-paying jobs, increase our national housing supply, and drive down prices for hardworking families. That’s what our bill will do.
I cannot in good conscience support a partisan budget bill that will cause my constituents in Missouri to see their healthcare costs skyrocket—which is precisely what this legislation would do. My full statement on my vote against the partisan CR here:
After making the largest cut to Medicaid in history, Republicans are now working to eliminate tax credits that help hardworking families afford their health coverage If they succeed, 46,000 people in #MO05 will see their annual healthcare costs skyrocket by an average of 109% I won’t support that
Democrats will not support the reckless Republican assault on Americans’ healthcare, including the partisan CR that will drive up prices for Missouri families. The GOP must come back to the table & negotiate a bipartisan budget bill that lowers costs & meets the needs of our communities.
Had a great discussion with Rep. Flood & @upforgrowthaction.bsky.social about our bipartisan work to address America’s national housing affordability crisis. The American people are demanding action to lower the cost of housing—and we won’t stop fighting to make that a reality.
The president and House Republicans promised to lower the high cost of living. Instead, their tariff taxes and Big Ugly Bill are raising prices, killing good-paying jobs, and making life harder for American families.
Fed statement makes it official: Stagflation is in the room. "Job gains have slowed, and the unemployment rate has edged up... Inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. "
Democrats are committed to passing a bipartisan budget that will prevent a harmful Republican shutdown and a massive spike in healthcare costs for working class families. My colleagues across the aisle must end the extreme partisanship and come back to the table.
Murray, DeLauro introduce bill to PREVENT REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN: "While Republicans push America to the brink of a shutdown, Democrats are ready to negotiate a bipartisan CR and government funding bills that actually help working people—not just billionaires—and protect people’s health care."
The Trump administration using the extraordinary power of the federal government to silence political opposition and undermine the free speech rights of American citizens and private businesses is dangerous and completely unacceptable.
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Our national housing affordability crisis is not a Republican issue or a Democratic issue—it’s an American issue. That’s why I’m working with Rep. Flood to craft bipartisan solutions that will lower costs for families nationwide. Great to sit down with NMHC to discuss our work.
Democracy demands compromise. Republicans must come back to the table and negotiate a bipartisan funding bill that will ensure the needs of all our communities are met—not try to jam another partisan bill through Congress.
Top spending Dems Murray + DeLauro criticize House Republicans' government funding plan, signal they'll oppose it Say they're working w "Chairs Cole and Collins on a bipartisan, short-term continuing resolution. We stand ready to continue down this path ... if Speaker Johnson backs away from this"
If Republicans do not extend ACA tax credits, Americans will see the largest jump in healthcare costs in years. Families are already struggling to stay afloat—which is why Democrats are fighting to extend this relief for the people. www.notus.org/congress/aca...
