Recent ATmosphere posts, sponsorships, and cosponsorships.
Kansas City continues to lead. We’re celebrating $34 MILLION for the KC Bio Tech Hub to grow jobs, strengthen our economy, and accelerate the next generation of biotechnology and advanced manufacturing.
Another major investment in our region’s future that I was proud to support.
Republicans are choosing to spend your money on warfare instead of your health care. The $73B war chest Republicans want to give Trump and Hegseth for their botched Iran War could instead fund a 3-year extension of the ACA tax credits, lowering health care costs for more than 20 million Americans.
We were promised a manufacturing renaissance. Instead, workers got layoffs, businesses got uncertainty, and communities got left behind. Turns out “golden age” wasn’t an economic plan, it was just a campaign slogan.
The rule of law means the law applies to everyone. Weakening independent investigations into federal agents creates a force that is not accountable for its actions. Americans don’t want this.
If the test is whether graduates earn enough, perhaps it’s time to ask why so many essential careers are still underpaid, not whether they deserve an education.

Foreign policy isn’t abstract - it reaches every kitchen table in America. When reckless decisions disrupt global markets, working families pay the price. We didn’t have to be here.
You can’t spin a war of choice into a success story. Americans know the difference between strength and recklessness. This administration promised strength; instead, Americans got higher costs, greater instability, and another unnecessary conflict. www.economist.com/united-state...
Today, we mourn the American servicemembers killed in Jordan and Iraq. My thoughts are with their loved ones and all who served beside them. May their memory be a blessing.

In any other administration, this would be front-page, wall-to-wall news. A senior official warns the White House it may be breaking the law, and gets shown the door.
We cannot normalize attacks on the rule of law simply because we’re becoming numb to conduct that should shock the conscience.
The Treasury’s top tax policy official was forced out after he warned that the White House risked violating a law prohibiting senior officials’ involvement in IRS audits. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Congress authorized the funding. Communities are counting on it. There’s no excuse for leaving organizations that preserve our history and strengthen our local economy in limbo.
@davids.house.gov and I are demanding OMB Director Vought release these overdue funds for FFNHA immediately.
The President’s address was purely an effort to keep Americans angry, divided, and distrustful of elections.
If you trust elections enough to celebrate your own victories, you should trust them enough to respect everyone else’s. Continuing to spread false election claims after winning the presidency (twice) and governing with congressional majorities isn’t just hypocritical, it’s dangerous.
On the anniversary of his passing, may we honor my dear friend not only with our words, but with our courage to recommit to the unfinished work of justice that he so faithfully carried forward.
Some people leave behind memories. John Lewis left behind a mandate. Stand up against injustice, speak truth, and get in Good Trouble.
“Death by a thousand cuts” isn’t just a warning about our elections, it’s how democracies erode. Any effort to weaken the institutions that administer our elections should concern every American. We deserve leadership that strengthens and protects every American’s right to vote.
This landmark housing law became reality because we chose results over rhetoric. Americans deserve more of this.
Watch our full interview here: www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...
Housing isn’t a Republican or a Democratic issue, it’s an American issue. Proud to join Rep. Mike Flood on @meetthepress.com as part of their Common Ground Series to discuss how we proved that governing is still possible.
