President Trump’s tariff taxes and reckless economic policies are already helping to reignite inflation and raise costs for American families.
It’s not too late to prevent a self-inflicted economic downturn—but the president must reverse course and end the chaos!

Missouri seniors have spent a lifetime contributing to Social Security—but President Trump and Elon Musk’s reckless cuts to the Social Security Administration are putting those hard-earned benefits in jeopardy.

Whether it comes from the highest levels of the federal government or a giant corporation, union busting is disgusting.
@housedemocrats.bsky.social will stand with American workers and push back against this blatant attempt to undermine collective bargaining rights.
President Trump and Elon Musk's work to destroy the nation’s consumer watchdog leaves families vulnerable to the predatory actions of Wall Street.
Proud to join Rep. Maxine Waters in the fight to defend Americans & the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau!

America is already facing a housing affordability crisis in communities nationwide—which is why it’s imperative that the U.S. continue to invest in federal housing programs that will lower costs for hardworking families.
More information here:

With housing costs already rising, President Trump & HUD Secretary Turner are firing federal workers & dismantling HUD field offices that play a vital role in supporting federal housing programs across the country.
Senator Padilla & I are leading 100+ Congressional Dems in condemning these efforts.
I was proud to join @justeconomy.bsky.social for their “Just Economy Conference” to talk about the invaluable impact of Community Development Financial Institutions and their work to support economic and housing development nationwide.
“The president is following a playbook from other countries whose leaders have sought to undermine democratic systems and the rule of law, including Russia, Turkey and Hungary.”
Trump is implementing the authoritarian playbook here at home.
We all must continue to push back.
Gutting America’s public health system does nothing to make our nation safer or healthier.
In fact, it does the exact opposite.
It ensures that fewer cures are found, less treatment is available, and more Americans will die unnecessarily.
While states like Missouri are already facing a teacher shortage in many school districts, President Trump is asking the Supreme Court to freeze federal funding dedicated to training the next generation of teachers.
SCOTUS must stop this action before it harms students in #MO05 and nationwide.
In their rush to destroy anything related to pandemic public health—during outbreaks of measles and bird flu—the Trump Administration is also cutting critical research into treatments for cancer, HIV, mental health, and addiction.
“The cuts are deep.”
NEWS: As HHS begins to pull billions from states health agencies and ~100 universities, pandemic preparedness efforts are getting axed.
Also cut:
—Millions for mental health/substance abuse care in most states
—Grants to cancer centers
—More HIV research

As all of us in Kansas City get excited for #OpeningDay, I hope @royals.com fans will take a moment to read this piece and reflect on how fortunate we are to have individuals like Bobby Witt Jr. and Patrick Mahomes representing our great city.
Now, let’s go win another championship!
Whether you live in urban or rural America, SNAP plays an essential role in keeping families fed and communities strong.
Tragically, President Trump and House Republicans are working to slash funding for SNAP to fund another tax cut for their billionaire donors.
I was proud to stand with National Rural Letter Carriers yesterday in the nation’s capital to continue the fight against privatization at the U.S. Postal Service.
Together, we will protect this vital service for the families, workers, and communities who have depended on it for over 2 centuries.
At minimum, Secretary of Defense Hegseth and National Security Adviser Waltz should resign or be fired—and an investigation should commence immediately.
The information Hegseth disclosed on Signal was classified at the time he wrote it, especially because the operation had not even started yet, officials tell us.
“It is safe to say that anybody in uniform would be court martialed for this,” a defense official said. www.cnn.com/politics/liv...
Congress must initiate immediate and thorough investigations into the worst national security breach in modern American history.
Anything less disrespects the brave men and women who continue to serve in the U.S. military.
My staff and I were honored to meet with Harvesters to talk about their vital work to keep food on the table of Missouri families—and how cuts to SNAP will undermine food security across the region.
Team Cleaver will always fight to protect nutrition programs for our neighbors.
Transparency is essential to rooting out waste, fraud, and corruption.
So why is the Trump Administration illegally removing public spending databases used to hold the federal government accountable?

In the United States of America, everyone deserves equal pay for equal work, period!
This Equal Pay Day, I join the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social in fighting to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to ensure women are paid fairly for their work they do. #EqualPay
With the blessing of President Trump, the richest man in the world has been allowed to fire essential staff at the Social Security Administration, defund phone services that seniors rely on, and close local SSA offices.
They’re intentionally sabotaging Social Security.
Social Security in turmoil:
— SSA website crashed four times in 10 days this month
— Phone service a mess following Musk-led cuts
— Agency no longer has a system to monitor customers’ experience due to DOGE
— Major staff exodus
