The measure of our immigration system isn’t just whether it enforces the law, it’s whether it does so with humanity, accountability, and respect for life. Congress shouldn’t be writing ICE a bigger blank check while basic accountability remains unanswered.

Congressman Cleaver’s Statement on the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act Becoming Law

Today, the most consequential housing legislation in nearly half a century became law, proving that when we work together, we can deliver for the American people.

This was never about Planned Parenthood, it was always about patients. Essential healthcare should never become collateral damage. This news means more folks can once again get preventative care, screenings, and services that keep communities healthy. apnews.com/article/defu...

Medicaid funding is resuming for Planned Parenthood after being cut off for most of a year

Planned Parenthood and two other abortion providers can resume billing Medicaid after an almost yearlong ban on federal funding expired.

We spent the past 18 months building bipartisan consensus to help Americans afford a place to call home. The President chose politics, and Congress chose progress. At midnight, progress becomes law.

President Trump will let a bipartisan housing bill become law without signing it, in protest over a GOP voter ID law that lacks support.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 10(source)

Housing costs are at an all-time high. Fortunately, there’s a bill for that. All that’s missing is the President’s signature.

I’m proud to have secured $750,000 to help make this vision a reality, and I’m just as proud to continue leading the fight in Congress for bold, bipartisan solutions to America’s housing crisis.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 10(source)

Housing is more than the roof over your head, it’s the foundation for financial security, healthier communities, and economic opportunity. Yesterday’s ribbon cutting for reStart's upStart Affordable Housing Duplexes is proof that federal investments can deliver real results.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 10(source)

Democracy is built on trust. Trust is build on fairness. And fairness requires independent institutions, not partisan control. Piece by piece, this administration continues to erode the guardrails that protect our democracy.

President Trump dismantled a bipartisan elections board ahead of a midterm that will determine which party controls Congress. The commission is responsible for maintaining the federal voter registration form and certifying electronic voting equipment.

As Co-Chair of the new 14thAmendment Task Force, I’m standing with those who believe our constitution should expand freedom, not shrink it. We owe it to future generations to defend this promise with everything we’ve got.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 9(source)

The 14th Amendment changed America. It guaranteed birthright citizenship, enshrined equal protection, and laid the legal foundation for generations of civil rights victories. Today, 158 years later, that promise is under siege.

Unconscionable. Innocent children paid the price for decisions that should have never been made in a war that never should have been waged. Congress cannot look the other way, there must be accountability.

Great to spend time yesterday with the dedicated team at Seton Center KC . From their safety-net dental clinic and food pantry to their new children’s mental health program, they’re making a real difference for Kansas City families every single day.

The President promised to end endless wars and lower costs. Instead, his ongoing, unauthorized war of choice is driving up energy prices and making life more expensive for families already struggling to make ends meet.

Good morning. Back to war. Higher energy prices. Stocks are also falling, signaling concern about the broader economic impact. Somewhat depressing: Markets had already priced in much of this possibility.

Line chart titled "Oil prices spiked last night, and again this morning" shows the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil per barrel over three days in July 2026. WTI crude experienced two dramatic overnight spikes, jumping from $68.76 to $72.42 per barrel between July 6-7 (a 5.3% increase) and then surging again to $74.24 by the morning of July 8 (another 2.5% gain). Overall, oil prices climbed $5.99 or 8.8% over this three-day period, reaching their highest level shown after relatively stable trading beforehand.

We’re trusting this man with decisions of war and peace.

Higher premiums. More uninsured Americans. Less affordable care. This is exactly what happens when Republicans sabotage the Affordable Care Act instead of strengthening it, in order to line the pockets of billionaires.

Health insurance premiums for millions of people who buy coverage through the Affordable Care Act are on track to rise sharply again next year, according to a report by KFF, a nonpartisan health policy research group.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 8(source)

Trump called making housing more affordable a “big yawn.” I call it one of the most important challenges facing working families. We passed a bipartisan, bicameral housing bill. It’s time for the President to sign it.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 8(source)

This is not the flex he thinks it is. Americans need serious, steady leadership, not reckless rhetoric.
