The administration seems proud that they are forcing families to max out their credit cards as they spend more on everything from gasoline to groceries. Completely out of touch with the struggles of working-class Americans.
Hassett on American consumers: "Credit card spending is through the roof. They're spending more on gasoline, but they're spending more on everything else too."
Today marks the beginning of National Nurses Week! Let us show our appreciation for the remarkable nurses who do lifesaving work every single day, helping keep our communities healthy and strong. Thank you for all that you do!
With reproductive rights still under assault, I joined more than 250 lawmakers to defend a woman’s right to make her own health care choices. Mifepristone is safe, reliable, and approved by the FDA—and it should remain accessible to women nationwide. thehill.com/regulation/c...
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Teachers are the bedrock of our education system—and they deserve our appreciation for all they do to support our kids and strengthen our communities. Proud to introduce a bipartisan resolution recognizing their important work. cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
The Artemis II mission gave Americans a jolt of patriotic exuberance. It reminded us of what can be accomplished when we work together toward a common goal. Today, I urge Congress to use this feat as motivation to address our national housing affordability crisis. thehill.com/opinion/fina...
It was a pleasure meeting with Mayor Kevin King. Whether it's securing federal investments to support local projects like rebuilding Kentucky Avenue Bridge, or supporting workforce development initiatives that benefit local workers, we'll keep working to build a stronger future in Independence.
Feliz Cinco de Mayo! Today we celebrate the rich culture, deep roots, and lasting contributions of Mexican Americans that continue to shape and strengthen our communities across the country.
The Supreme Court’s latest decision weakens key protections in the Voting Rights Act that have helped ensure every American has an equal voice at the ballot box. At Friday’s Urban Summit meeting, I reaffirmed that Congress must protect access to the vote and uphold the integrity of our democracy.
Mifepristone is safe, reliable, and approved by the FDA. While I’m relieved SCOTUS blocked an extreme decision from a lower court to restrict access, it is not enough. We must continue to push back against the assault on reproductive freedom by enshrining protections into law.
Breaking News: The Supreme Court restored broad access to mifepristone in a temporary order that will allow women to obtain the abortion pill by mail for now.
At a time when the Trump administration and Republicans are cutting support for urban agriculture and undermining SNAP, we must keep fighting for policies that invest in food access, local economies, and community health.
This moment reflects years of work and a long-term vision to reinvest in this iconic part of our community, honor its history, and build a vibrant future rooted in opportunity, arts, and local pride.
Happy Jewish American Heritage Month! This May, as we celebrate the rich heritage and many ways Jewish Americans have strengthened our culture and society, let us also honor their contributions by recommitting to the fight against antisemitism and hate in all forms.
Missouri families were already struggling to stay afloat due to the president’s tariff taxes driving up costs. Now, they’re paying substantially more every time they fill up their gas tank because of the president’s disastrous war in the Middle East. They deserve better.
⛽ Average U.S. gas prices per gallon on May 1, per AAA ⛽ • Regular: $4.39 (⬆️ $0.09 from yesterday, ⬆️ $1.41 since war in Iran began on Feb. 28) • Premium: $5.24 (⬆️ $1.38 since war began) • Diesel: $5.57 (⬆️ $1.81 since war began)
Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian, & Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Throughout the month of May, we honor these communities, celebrate their rich culture, and recognize the countless contributions they have made to our country.
Today, we celebrate International Workers Day. As we recognize the workers who built this nation, let us honor their legacy by continuing to demand fair wages, safer workplaces, and the right to organize. That’s what I’ll keep fighting for in Congress.
