The latest analysis shows that Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill would actually RAISE taxes on the poorest Americans to fund more tax breaks for those in the top 5%. And that doesn’t even account for the healthcare and food assistance that will be ripped away from these families. It’s sinful.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJun 10(source)
As Republicans in Congress fight to slash funding for food assistance programs that keep food on the tables of working class families, the president’s tariff taxes are raising the cost of canned goods. It’s going to be disastrous for the American people. www.wsj.com/business/the...
The Canned-Food Aisle Is Getting Squeezed by Rising Steel Tariffs
The steel used in cans is mostly imported—and subject to the Trump administration’s new 50% levy.

We are witnessing the creeping militarization of civilian law enforcement and the deputizing of federal agents as local law enforcement. Together, We must stand united in defending civil liberties, due process, and human rights.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJun 10(source)
As we push back against the president’s efforts to create more chaos and crack down on public dissent, I’m proud to stand with the Congressional Black Caucus, @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social, and @capac.house.gov. We’ll continue to stand with peaceful protestors and fight for the rights of the people.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJun 10(source)
The President is calling for the arrest of a Governor for simply opposing the president’s unlawful power grab. It’s dangerous, without merit, and just another way to distract from his attempt to enact the largest redistribution of wealth from working class families to the wealthiest 1% in history.

The president is only creating more danger by unnecessarily sending armed forces to Los Angeles—and he’s wasting the time and resources of our men and women in uniform while doing it. The Congress and the courts must put an end to this nonsense before it escalates into a crisis.

CNN: We have breaking news now from the Pentagon. CNN can now report that roughly 500 Marines are being mobilized in response to the protests in Los Angeles.

PBS doesn’t just ensure Big Bird and Elmo can entertain and educate America’s children; it also provides vital information to the public in times of crisis. That’s why I’m fighting to protect public broadcasting like PBS and NPR from Republican cuts. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
If Trump cuts funding to NPR and PBS, rural America will pay a devastating price
Much of the country has little access to local news, with public media filling the void – and serving as a lifeline

Job Corps helps young Americans obtain apprenticeships and learn valuable skills that support lifelong careers in key industries. That’s why I joined hundreds of lawmakers in calling for the Trump administration to restore funding. www.kctv5.com/2025/06/07/m...
Missouri lawmaker 1 of nearly 200 to call on continued funding for Job Corps
A Missouri lawmaker has joined nearly 200 others to call on the Department of Labor to continue to fund the Job Corps program.

The president is once again attempting to enact travel bans that are clearly aimed at specific ethnicities and religions around the world. It’s divisive, un-American, and should be condemned by those who believe in equal treatment under the law.

The Trump administration on Monday will begin enforcing an expansive new travel ban for people from 19 countries, restrictions that come eight years after President Trump’s first attempt to impose a ban led to chaotic scenes at U.S. airports.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJun 9(source)
Protestors must remain peaceful AND law enforcement has a responsibility to prevent unnecessary escalation. Unfortunately, the Trump admin is intentionally pouring fuel on the fire to create more chaos that will enable President Trump to crack down on political opposition. It’s extremely dangerous

An Australian journalist was shot with what’s been reported as a rubber bullet while covering immigration protests in LA. 9News US correspondent Lauren Tomasi was hit in the leg by a non-lethal round fired by an officer in riot gear. Footage shows the officer turn toward the cameras before firing.

My bipartisan bill would require the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to testify before Congress on an annual basis, strengthening transparency and ensuring HUD is accountable to the people. More here: cleaver.house.gov/media-center...

Whether a Republican or Democratic administration, it is imperative that the people’s representatives have the ability to provide oversight of the Executive Branch on behalf of the public, which includes bringing Cabinet officials before Congress. That’s why I introduced the HUD Accountability Act.

81 years ago, the brave heroes of D-Day stormed the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe from the iron grip of fascism, changing the course of history. As we recognize their sacrifice, let us honor their legacy today by upholding the values they fought for decades ago. apnews.com/article/fran...

At a time when Americans are already struggling with the housing affordability crisis, the Trump Administration is working to rip rental assistance away from vulnerable families. It’s a dangerous step that will lead to more homelessness nationwide. www.npr.org/2025/06/04/n...
The Trump administration is working on a plan for time limits on rental aid
A housing agency rule would also allow work requirements. Supporters say a time limit would help spread limited funds to more people, but critics warn it would leave some homeless.

On World Environment Day, we are reminded of our duty to be good stewards of our planet, responsible for protecting God’s green Earth for generations to come. Every sustainable action that we take today ensures that our natural wonders will be available for our progeny to enjoy.
