Just one day after ICE killed a mother and American citizen in Minneapolis, immigration officials shot two more people in Portland.
The administration is sowing chaos and endangering communities across the country—and Congress must take action to hold them accountable.

Reposted byRep. Emanuel Cleaver
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.
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.
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!

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 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.
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.

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.
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.
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

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:
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.
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.

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.
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.
Congress returns to familiar health care stalemate

My full statement here:

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.
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
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.
