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.

Thank you for the warm welcome and for your unwavering commitment to serving our community.

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.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 7(source)

A confident democracy doesn’t fear history. It embraces the full American story – the triumphs, the failures, and the people who fought to make our Union more perfect.

A new White House report accuses current Smithsonian leadership of imposing a “radical, activist ideology” on the museums and refusing to tell “the noble, honest story of the great country we know and love.” Read more about the report here: https://wapo.st/4gjG7BS

Reconciliation 3.0? They just cut health care and food assistance to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy. Working families haven’t even recovered from Reconciliation 1.0 and now they want another $350 billion.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 7(source)

Dr. Oz math: A $1 trillion cut somehow becomes “$200 billion more.” Americans can do the math. And they’ll be the ones paying the price when hospitals close, nursing homes struggle, and millions lose health care. The numbers don’t lie, even if this administration does.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 7(source)

Americans deserve lower costs and better care, not policies that leave more people uninsured.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 7(source)

More than 2.5 million Americans have lost Affordable Care Act coverage in the past year – including 86,000 Missourians. Republicans promised to lower costs. Instead, they’re making it harder for families to afford the health care they need. apnews.com/article/affo...

Obamacare rolls shrank dramatically in many states over the past year, new federal data shows

New federal data reveals the first 50-state look at a steep drop in Affordable Care Act enrollment after enhanced subsidies expired in January.

We can protect the Second Amendment while taking meaningful steps to keep our communities safe.

I’ve met with too many families whose lives have been forever changed by gun violence. Rolling back commonsense gun safety protections doesn’t honor their stories, it increases the risk that more families will have to live them. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/u...

Trump Administration Rolls Back Dozens of Gun Regulations

Republicans love to claim they’re the party of work. But under their watch, more than a million Americans have left the labor force while families face higher costs and growing economic uncertainty. It’s time to put working people – not partisan politics – back at the center of our economic agenda

Labor force participation has fallen to 61.5% — the lowest since 2021, erasing the entire post-pandemic recovery. Since Trump's inauguration, over a million people have left the job market — which explains part of the reason the unemployment rate dropped last month.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 6(source)

Republicans promised affordability and then governed for billionaires. Americans families are paying the price every time they fill up their tank, pay their electric bill, check out at the grocery store, or navigate the healthcare system.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 6(source)

“A year after OBBBA, four Trump policies have raised costs on American families by $2,072 to $3,569, and a Republican-led Congress gave him the votes to do it.” www.americanprogressaction.org/article/how-...

How Trump and His Congressional Allies Drove Up Gas Prices and Cost Families At Least $2,000

A year after OBBBA, four Trump policies have raised costs on American families by $2,072 to $3,569, and a Republican-led Congress gave him the votes to do it.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 6(source)

If you think Americans can’t afford life right now because they “don’t work as hard,” you’re completely out of touch with the people we were sent here to serve.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 6(source)

Republicans aren’t just out of touch, they’re telling working Americans their hardship is their own fault. And that’s not true – Republicans passed a bill that makes life more expensive for working families, then mock the very people struggling to make ends meet.
