The US Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) is critical in coordinating the federal response to homelessness. The President’s assault on USICH and Housing First will only exacerbate America’s unacceptable homelessness crisis. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/u...
“Never before, legal analysts say, has the Alien Enemies Act been used with such little due process.” The Trump Administration is eroding civil liberties at a rate not even seen during WWII, which was one of the darkest moments in American history. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/w...
In the last week, the president has: -Ordered the DOJ to investigate a former staffer for refusing to lie to the public -Refused to obey an order from the Supreme Court -Called for sending AMERICAN CITIZENS to foreign gulags. His authoritarian actions are a threat to all Americans’ rights.
More than 141,000 Missourians in #MO05 depend on Social Security. As President Trump and Elon Musk work to enact cuts to this vital program, I’ll never relent in the fight to protect these hard-earned benefits for Missouri families.
The President of the United States is openly threatening to send American citizens to foreign gulags. As he defies the Supreme Court, undermines due process rights, and orders the DOJ to investigate political opponents, we are witnessing the sprint to autocracy right before our eyes.
Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."
Thankful that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. Political violence has absolutely no place in America—and it’s imperative that all public officials make that clear by condemning this despicable attempt to harm a sitting Governor.
The fire was only part of the plan: “In court documents, authorities said Cody Balmer told them after he was taken into custody that he would have beaten Shapiro with a hammer if he had found him.” apnews.com/article/josh...
Just as inflation was coming back to the Fed’s 2% target, President Trump’s reckless tariff taxes are threatening to reignite price increases on everyday goods that Missouri families depend on. There is still time to turn back, but Republicans in Congress must step in and stand up to the President.
🚨NEW CAP analysis: Trump's latest tariffs will cost families $4,600 per year🚨 📈Berry, banana, coffee, and nut prices UP 10% 📈Playstation 2 UP $700+ 📈iPhone prices will more than DOUBLE This is not a pause. Trump is betraying the middle class. www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...
The law is clear: Special Government Employees are only allowed to work for 130 days before they must step down—which is why I joined @repcasar.bsky.social to demand the Admin remove Elon Musk by May 30. It’s time for the Trump Admin to say goodbye & good riddance to this human wrecking ball.
Here's the big news that people across the country haven't heard but need to know: 50 days from today, Donald Trump must fire Elon Musk. The law is crystal clear. A special government employee like Musk must leave the federal government after 130 days. The clock is ticking.
American families want Congress to take action to lower the cost of housing, healthcare, and groceries. Instead, Republicans are planning to decimate programs like Medicaid, SNAP and more to pay for another round of tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit the wealthy—while still exploding the deficit.
The Senate budget is incredibly vague (on purpose), so the House plan shows what the GOP might be aiming for — Medicaid cuts to pay for tax cuts that mostly serve the rich. My @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Chart
The unprecedented incompetence, chaos, and recklessness coming from the White House is doing unparalleled damage to the American economy. Never before has a president so quickly destroyed the confidence of the American people and small businesses.
US consumers are feeling worse about the economy than at any time during the Great Recession cnn.it/4cx3uE7
While I’m pleased the Supreme Court was unanimous in their ruling, Kilmar Abrego Garcia should never have been ripped away from his family and community in the first place. The Trump Administration must right their egregious wrong and bring him home TODAY! www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
The President is trying to normalize blatant corruption throughout government—and this may be the most brazen example yet. While Americans are losing their hard-earned retirement savings, people are getting rich off the President’s tariff announcements. The American people deserve answers.
The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.
“These reductions don’t just affect people facing hunger — they also hurt the retailers, farmers, and businesses that supply fresh, local food” President Trump and Elon Musk continue to wreak havoc on our local farmers, food banks, and families. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The Raise the Wage Act would increase the federal minimum wage to $17, ensuring the average working family in Missouri will have an extra $1,228 in their pockets to spend in our local economies. I’ll keep fighting to #RaiseTheWage for American workers. cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
While corporate CEOs and C-suite executives have watched their pay skyrocket, the workers who actually drive corporate profits have seen their wages stagnate. It’s time for these Americans to receive the raise they have earned through their hard work. That's why I support the Raise The Wage Act.
The Raise the Wage Act of 2025 proposes increasing the federal minimum wage to $17 by 2030, directly benefiting over 22 million workers—15% of the U.S. wage-earning workforce. Say it with us: CONGRESS RAISE THE DAMN WAGE! seiu.co/3RGxQdB
Today, House Republicans passed a budget resolution that opens the door to the largest cut to Medicaid in history while also ripping nutrition assistance away from working class families and exploding our deficit—all to provide another handout to the wealthiest Americans. I voted against it.
