President Trump and House Republicans promised to lower the high cost of living.
But the Trump Tariffs and the Big Ugly Bill are making life even more expensive while causing unemployment to rise to the highest level in years.

President Trump promised he would lower prices on “Day One”.
Instead, his reckless and chaotic tariff taxes continue to drive up prices at a time when families are already struggling to stay afloat.
Americans deserve better.
Missourians are against mid-decade redistricting.
The labor community is against mid-decade redistricting.
The business community is against mid-decade redistricting.
The faith community is against mid-decade redistricting.
Listen to the people!

Today marks the 24th anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks, the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil.
As we pause to honor the 2,977 lives lost, let us also remember the courageous first responders, the survivors, and the families whose lives were forever changed.
#NeverForget
Gun violence in America is completely out of control.
What will it take for our leaders to come together and enact policies that will address this crisis, save lives, and keep our communities safe?
As we pray for the victims, let us also ACT.
The time is now.
JUST IN: Three people are in critical condition after a shooting at Evergreen High School in Evergreen, Colorado, according to St. Anthony’s Hospital. https://cnn.it/46fImzg
I unequivocally condemn the despicable and cowardly attack on Charlie Kirk.
Political violence has absolutely no place in the United States, and the perpetrator must be prosecuted to the fullest extent.
Let us all pray for Mr. Kirk and his loved ones in this moment.
After the president rolled out the red carpet, Putin repays him by bombing Ukrainian civilians & sending drones into NATO airspace.
This is a dangerous escalation that must be met with a forceful response from the U.S., including increased sanctions.
If the president refuses to act, Congress must.
It is deeply disappointing the Missouri House has put the demands of DC power brokers ahead of the wishes of Missouri families in another partisan power grab
This battle is far from over—and I won't stop fighting to ensure the voices of Western Missouri are heard

In a moment where the president and ICE are sowing fear in communities across the country, the Supreme Court continues to undermine the civil liberties of American citizens by greenlighting the racial profiling of minorities.
It’s dangerous and un-American.
For 60 years, HUD has worked to ensure every American has safe, stable, and affordable housing.
As the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Housing, I’m fighting to ensure HUD is fully funded and can continue its mission of expanding the American Dream for ALL our neighbors.
The president’s reckless tariff taxes are creating chaos for small businesses, driving up prices for consumers, and killing good-paying jobs for American workers.
Americans deserve better.

“Trump vowed to halve electricity prices. But they’re rising twice as fast as inflation.”
Cutting investments in renewable energy like wind and solar is decreasing our national supply of energy and raising monthly utility bills for American families.

After the administration froze funding to National Heritage Areas nationwide, Rep. Davids & I pushed to restore these investments enacted by Congress, which help to preserve regional history & boost local economies
Happy Freedom's Frontier NHA has secured their funding.

MO-05 is the heart of Kansas City, our people, our culture, our economic engine. Trump and Missouri Republicans want to carve it up to cling to power, but they will not silence the voices of Kansas Citians without a fight.

After joining @davids.house.gov to push to restore federal funding obligated to Freedom's Frontier, I am pleased that they have finally secured the funding & will now be able to continue their mission, telling our story to visitors while boosting economic activity.

Together, we’ll keep working to ensure Americans impacted by PKD receive the care they deserve.
I’m grateful to the @pkdfoundation.bsky.social for honoring me with the 2024 Congressional Champion of the Year Award for my work to bring attention to this disease while fighting for additional investments in new treatments.
Such blatant politicization of justice is unacceptable.
The American people deserve the full truth, not a version tailored for partisan politics.
Reposted byRep. Emanuel Cleaver
BRUTAL JOBS REPORT: Just 22,000 jobs added in August. Unemployment rises to 4.3%. Broader jobless rate jumps to 8.1%. Slowest 4-month growth since 2020. Plus, downward revisions for June and July of -21,000. Yikes.
