This is the Trump playbook: rig the numbers so working families and seniors get shortchanged while the wealthy get ahead.
Manipulating economic stats isn’t just cooking the books, it’s stealing benefits Americans have earned.

Met with #MO05 hospital leaders who are deeply concerned about looming Medicare premium hikes. If the enhanced tax credits expire – undermined by the GOP’s #BigUGLYLaw – nearly 338,000 Missourians and 24 million Americans will pay the price.
Families can’t afford this.
Trump’s Big Lie didn’t just attack the truth, it threatened the people who make our elections run.
Election officials face harassment and burnout. Without them, the security of every future election and democracy is at risk.

The Smithsonian is not “out of control” – it’s doing its job: telling the whole story, warts and all. But Trump’s agenda to scrub away slavery and painful truths is a political attack on history itself. We won’t let him rewrite it to serve his politics.
This Cost of Living Week of Action, we’re calling it like it is.
This is the Trump-Republican business model: make the rich richer on the backs of working families. Prices are up and families are feeling the financial squeeze.
In a time of global challenges, people-to-people exchange is more important than ever and it was an honor to hear about the important work they’re doing right here in #MO05
Grateful to meet with Global Ties KC! Their work building connections with our international neighbors shows the power of diplomacy at the community level.
We won’t let this admin turn its back on those who served, exacerbating an already present crisis.
HUD-VASH cut veteran homelessness nearly in half. Now Trump wants to rip it apart, punishing vets by making housing a reward instead of a right.
Congress made it clear: we fund Housing First because it works.

Delays aren’t just bureaucratic – they’re risking lives. Local health departments need clarity & support, not excuses.
I joined my colleagues in sending a letter demanding the Trump administration immediately release the $300M in congressionally approved CDC funding.

This is about more than groceries – it’s about dignity, opportunity, and making sure every family has a chance to thrive. And with 100 locations established and counting, Kanbe’s Markets is just getting started
That’s why I was proud to secure $500,000 in community project funding to uplift their effort to expand access to fresh fruits and vegetables in places that need them the most.
It was an honor to join Kanbe's Markets
to celebrate the 100thhealthy corner store location!
In too many neighborhoods, families have had to choose between what’s close and what’s healthy.
“Insurance companies have proposed the highest rate increases since 2018.”
Make no mistake, health insurance rates have increased as a direct result of the Trump administration’s disastrous policies.

This is not an accident – this is Trump’s game plan going to plan: protect the rich, no one else matters. www.axios.com/2025/08/15/t...
At a time when the cost of living is already too high, Trump and Republicans are making sure Americans pay more to power their lives.
Under Trump:
-Utilities have already requested $29B in rate hikes, doubling last year
-Clean Energy Tax Credits are repealed, spiking home energy bills up to $110 annually
-Big Oil gets $18B in new tax giveaways
Democrats fought to bring clean power online, lower bills, and give consumers choices. Republicans knowingly voted to raise your energy costs. Now the bills are coming due.

Cut immigration, cut labor supply, add tariffs on imports… and voilà: higher food prices.
