Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, KC has been awarded $3.5M to clean up brownfield sites across the city, helping to boost economic development & spur more investment in our communities. Proud to have helped bring this funding back to #MO05 cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
The president promised that he would lower costs for hardworking families. Instead, his tariff taxes are increasing prices on everything from housing to household electronics. It’s going to hurt American families and small businesses across the country. www.cnbc.com/2025/07/09/u...
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created after the Financial Crisis to hold Wall Street and giant corporations accountable when ripping off American consumers. By gutting the agency, Republicans are making it easier for these practices to resume. www.cnbc.com/2025/07/09/t...
“Low-income children and families would be among the groups hit hardest” “While the bill would be a boon to wealthy Americans, it would scale back resources for the nation’s poorest households” Taking from poor children to feed the greed of the wealthy. www.npr.org/2025/06/20/n...
As seniors face longer wait times at the Social Security Administration and veterans struggle to receive timely care at the VA due to previous firings, this decision from the Supreme Court will enable the president to continue taking a wrecking ball to vital services. The damage will be disastrous.
The Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump administration to launch plans for mass layoffs and reorganizations at 19 federal agencies and departments, including the CDC and Social Security Administration, while litigation continues.
After signing legislation that will rip healthcare away from 17 million Americans and food assistance away from millions more, the president is back to implementing tariff taxes—which will raise costs on AMERICAN consumers and small businesses.
The President has just tweeted another 7 trade "letters." We have details on 14 countries, and it's weirder than I imagined. The new tariffs are the old "Liberation Day" numbers +/- a few percentage points. If these were a bad idea 90 days ago, why are they a good idea now?
As Republicans pass legislation to gut Pell grants that help working class students pursue their dreams—all to fund more tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires—the Trump administration is illegally withholding funding for our public schools. missouriindependent.com/2025/07/03/s...
In 2025, solar and wind are an integral part of America’s energy system. By doing the bidding of Big Oil and slashing investments in clean energy in the Big Ugly Bill, Republicans are guaranteeing higher energy costs for families and more blackouts in communities nationwide.
Trump and the party of "energy dominance" passed a bill that will spike electricity rates and cause rolling blackouts. talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/thanks-...
After the shortsighted decision to halt support for Ukrainian freedom fighters, I’m pleased the president has reversed course and will continue to provide aid to Ukraine. We must continue to support our democratic friends against Putin’s despicable invasion. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Americans across the country are already struggling with our national housing affordability crisis—and President Trump’s tariff taxes are only making matters worse. It’s time to get rid of the tariffs so we can lower costs for hardworking families! www.nbcnews.com/specials/hou...
As Republicans in Congress rip healthcare away from millions of Americans and put rural hospitals at risk of closure, the Trump administration is sowing mistrust in vaccines and dismantling public health infrastructure, reviving diseases like measles. It’s a recipe for disaster.
The United States has reached its highest annual measles case tally in 33 years. As cases continue to emerge, health-care experts say the best way to protect against measles is to get vaccinated.
Last week, Republicans passed their Big Ugly Bill to rip healthcare away from 17 million Americans, usher in the closure of more rural hospitals, and gut food assistance programs for working class families. All to fund more tax breaks for the wealthiest 1%. It's a travesty.
Beshear on Trump's bill: "It's the single worst piece of legislation I've seen in my lifetime & it is an attack on rural America. In my state alone, 200k are gonna lose their coverage... 20k healthcare workers are gonna lose their jobs & we've got up to 35 rural hospitals that may close."
Republicans in Congress aren’t focused on strengthening care for our veterans or lowering costs for hardworking families. Instead, they just passed a bill to shower millionaires and billionaires with more tax cuts. www.cnn.com/2025/07/01/p...
My heart breaks for the victims, their families, and the communities devastated by the horrific floods in central Texas. As first responders continue their heroic efforts to save lives, let us pray for the loved ones lost and all those affected by this tragedy.
LATEST: At least 80 people have died, including 28 children, in catastrophic flooding in Texas. Officials say 10 children are still missing from Camp Mystic.
Wishing a very happy Independence Day to Missourians across #MO05 and Americans nationwide! Today, let us come together with family and friends to celebrate the freedoms and democracy we cherish—and commit to protecting them for generations to come.
