Missouri U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II joined Up To Date to discuss an ICE agent's killing of an observer in Minneapolis, the Trump administration's intervention in Venezuela, and a critical vote in Congress on Affordable Care Act subsidies.

Rep. Cleaver calls Trump administration response to ICE shooting 'completely irresponsible'

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJan 9(source)

2025 was the worst year for job growth outside of a recession in more than two decades. The president’s reckless tariff taxes and regressive economic policies are driving up prices and killing good-paying jobs for American workers.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJan 8(source)

House Democrats and I have been fighting for months to save ACA tax credits and stop health care costs from soaring for working families. Today, we successfully passed legislation to do just that. Now, the Senate must ACT! cleaver.house.gov/media-center...

Congressman Cleaver Votes to Extend ACA Tax Credits to Lower Health Care Costs for Missouri Families

(Washington, D.C.) – Today, U.S. Representative Emanuel Cleaver, II (D-MO) voted in favor of legislation to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits that help lower health care premiums for more t...

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJan 8(source)

46,000 Missourians in #MO05 have seen their health care premiums skyrocket since Republicans allowed enhanced ACA tax credits to expire at the beginning of the year. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and I are voting today to revive these tax credits and lower costs for hardworking families.

The House will vote today on bipartisan legislation to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits. Tens of millions of Americans are counting on us. Vote YES to save their healthcare.

The actions of ICE are beyond disturbing. They are also a tragic result of the administration’s reckless, aggressive, extreme, and intentionally inflammatory mass deportation policies. Congress must immediately initiate an investigation into this horrifying killing of a civilian.

An ICE agent shot and killed a person in Minneapolis on Wednesday, federal authorities said. The shooting in a residential neighborhood comes days after the Trump administration ramped up the agency’s presence in the city. Follow live updates. nyti.ms/4qgGgYU

The president wants to put our troops in danger and waste taxpayer funding to boost the profits of his Big Oil donors. But he refuses to extend ACA tax credits that help American families afford quality health care. thehill.com/policy/energ...

Last night, I was proud to stand with lawmakers at the U.S. Capitol to honor the law enforcement officials who defended our citadel of democracy five years ago. Today and every day, we give thanks for their service and sacrifice to the nation.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJan 6(source)

Not only are the president’s tariff taxes raising costs on everyday essentials for hardworking families, but they continue to crush American manufacturers and small businesses. Republicans in Congress must work with Democrats to put an end to this reckless experiment.

Fox: We're still in a manufacturing recession. 85% of the sector's GDP contracted in December. And if you read the commentary, it's costs. They blame tariffs. All of the businesses that are quoted say that those are huge headwinds, and it's still impacting their business

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJan 6(source)

Republican refusal to extend ACA tax credits that help working-class families afford health care is already crushing hardworking Americans across the country. I won’t stop fighting to extend these tax credits, lower costs, and #ProtectOurCare www.kshb.com/news/local-n...

Some Kansas patients face higher health care costs as enhanced ACA subsidies expire

Patients who rely on federal subsidies to afford health insurance are grappling with significantly higher premiums after enhanced subsidies through the Affordable Care Act Marketplace expired.

Today marks the fifth anniversary of the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol Building and our constitutional Republic, incited by the President of the United States in his despicable attempt to remain in power after knowingly losing a free and fair election. My full statement:

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJan 5(source)

Attacking a veteran, who spent decades serving our country, just because he spoke out against the administration is beyond shameful. The Defense Secretary should focus on growing threats around the world, not petty politics and wrongful retribution.

Breaking news: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the Pentagon will formally censure Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Arizona) and launch administrative proceedings against him to consider whether to reduce his Navy rank.

Rather than foolishly threatening to attack a NATO ally by invading Greenland, the president should focus here at home on lowering costs and creating economic opportunities for American families. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Trump renews push to annex Greenland after Venezuela strike

President Donald Trump has repeatedly talked about annexing Greenland. He reupped those calls hours after the U.S. captured Venezuela's leader.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJan 5(source)

To end 2025, Congress voted on a war powers resolution to prevent the president from using military action against Venezuela, risking another regime-change quagmire. Unfortunately, 99% of Republicans voted to kill the effort. Congress cannot allow him to drag us into more unnecessary conflicts.

Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened: -- a second strike against Venezuela -- Cuba -- Mexico -- Colombia -- Iran -- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJan 5(source)

Democrats have been fighting for months to extend ACA tax credits that help families afford health care. We have successfully forced a vote to restore these tax credits and reverse the premium increases that millions of Americans are facing. We just need a handful of Republicans to join us.

The president’s reckless decision to put our servicemembers in harm’s way by attacking a sovereign nation without a coherent rationale or approval from Congress is unconstitutional, destabilizing to the region, and deeply damaging to America’s reputation around the world.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJan 2(source)

The American people are sick and tired of the president’s reckless economic policies and refusal to provide relief to working-class families. Democrats won’t stop fighting to address the Republican health care crisis and lower costs for hardworking families.

Americans give President Donald Trump his worst approval ratings ever for his handling of the economy, as they also express concerns about the cost of living, healthcare prices, and personal finances, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll. https://to.pbs.org/49g3nwx

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJan 2(source)

Despite a bipartisan majority in the House that supports an extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits, Republicans in Congress have allowed these benefits to expire, driving up health care costs on more than 20 million Americans. Democrats will keep fighting to provide relief.

ACA enhanced tax credits have officially expired, meaning higher costs kick in this month for ~22 million Americans. House is likely to pass a 3-year extension… but Senate Republicans told me before the holidays that bill will die in the Senate. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJan 2(source)

And one my highest priorities is always bringing federal funding back home to support local projects. Whether it’s grant funding to support affordable housing developments or strengthen local health centers, I’ll always fight to ensure western Missouri receives its fair share!

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJan 2(source)

Constituent services are an essential component of my work as your Representative. From helping Missourians receive their full tax refund to assisting veterans in obtaining the benefits they have earned, my office is always available and happy to help!
