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.

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.
Congress has the power of the purse and the power to enact taxes.
But Republicans continue to cede their own constitutional responsibilities to the president, allowing him to enact the largest tax hike on American families & small businesses in decades.

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.
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.

Cancer is a vicious disease that impacts Americans in every community and from every background.
The Administration’s effort to dismantle the nation’s infrastructure to research, treat, and ultimately cure cancer is extraordinarily shortsighted and deeply regrettable.
Withdrawing from the War on Cancer: an extraordinarily successful scientific research system that took decades to build, saved millions of lives and generated billions of dollars in profits is being dismantled in short order. @jonathanmahler.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...
All Americans should agree that political violence is completely unacceptable in the United States, and our political leaders have a responsibility to turn down the temperature.
We must listen to our better angels and not our worst demons.
The vast majority of Americans are sick of the nonstop division & hate that is driving our communities apart.
But instead of working to unite the country by condemning political violence in all forms, the admin is lying & stoking the flames of anger.
It’s extremely dangerous & deeply cynical.
“Virtually all major grocery categories are now more expensive than they were a year ago, some substantially so.”
The president said he would lower costs for hardworking families.
Instead, his tariff taxes are exacerbating our cost-of-living crisis.

Coffee. Beef. Prescription Drugs.
They’re all getting more expensive thanks to the president’s tariff taxes.

“Since President Trump imposed tariffs on Chinese goods in February, Beijing has retaliated by halting all purchases of American soybeans.
That decision has had devastating repercussions for farmers”
www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/b...
As inflation soars due to the president’s reckless tariff taxes, Republicans in Congress are refusing to extend tax credits that help working families afford their health insurance premiums.
I won’t stop fighting to provide relief to these families.

Last week, Missouri Republicans attempted the latest power grab by enacting a mid-decade gerrymander
But this fight is far from over
Together, in the courts and in the streets, we will continue pushing to ensure this unconstitutional effort is defeated

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!
All month long, let us celebrate the rich and vibrant culture of our Hispanic communities across #MO05, honoring their legacy and recognizing their invaluable contributions to our history and society.
I’m deeply disappointed that Missouri’s Legislature put the wishes of Washington above the voices of their own constituents and the needs of our communities.
But this fight is far from over.
My full statement here:
At every opportunity to turn the temperature down and bring the country together, the president instead chooses to dial it up and divide the nation.
It’s deeply disappointing and extremely dangerous.
Political violence must be condemned universally.
This is real leadership.
Political violence is an attack on all of us, and we all must come together to condemn it whenever it rears its ugly, despicable head.

A few quick charts. First, the big picture: Overall consumer prices were up 2.9 percent from a year earlier. Over the past three months, prices have risen at a 3.5 percent annual rate.
#NumbersDay
U.S. consumer prices rose 0.4 percent in August and were up 2.9 percent from a year earlier. "Core" prices, excluding food and energy, rose 0.3 percent from a month earlier and 3.1 percent year-over-year. #NumbersDay
