As courts gather information about the legality of President Trump’s “deferred resignation program,” a judge has extended the deadline for federal workers to respond. I continue to encourage all federal employees to seek legal counsel & speak to Union representatives before making any decision.

No one should have their clinical trial, or research critical to a cure delayed or suspended because of politics. That’s why I joined 88 @housedemocrats.bsky.social in condemning President Trump’s funding freeze for medical research grants, which are essential to saving lives.

Allowing an unelected billionaire and his teenage lackeys to illegally seize the federal government, access Americans’ personal information, and defund federal agencies is not about efficiency—it’s about unilaterally usurping power from the people. When will the GOP stand up?

First they came for USAID. Now they’re going after Public Education. What’s next? Medicare and Social Security? Veterans benefits and nutrition programs? @housedemocrats.bsky.social will not stand for these unconstitutional efforts to defund congressionally created federal agencies.

In 1961, the #FreedomRiders boarded buses to the Deep South to challenge segregation. They faced mob violence, arrests, and firebombings—but they never backed down. As we honor their bravery, I’m proud to support @hankjohnson.house.gov's bill to award them the Congressional Gold Medal.

President Trump’s plan would remove Palestinians from their homeland, cost billions, and deny them any chance to determine their own future. The American dream prizes self-determination: this plan is the opposite of our values.

As Congressional Democrats draft legislation to uphold the rule of law, protect Americans’ private information, and prevent unaccountable billionaires from defunding the federal government, we will continue to stand with the people and push back against this extremism.

The power belongs to the people—not unelected billionaires! As President Trump enables Elon Musk to illegally seize federal agencies and access private information, I joined lawmakers, federal workers, veterans, and law-abiding Americans to demand an end to this lawlessness.

That’s why I’m joining dozens of @housedemocrats.bsky.social in demanding the President and the Trump Administration rescind the executive order levying a 25% blanket tariff on Canadian imports—which would raise costs on everyday goods for American families. cleaver.house.gov/media-center...

Missouri sells more goods to Canada than to its next 5 largest foreign markets combined. While I’m pleased the President has already backed down and paused his tariffs on Canada, it’s imperative for #MO05 businesses and workers that he ends his childish spat with our ally for good.

On World Cancer Day, as we remember the lives lost to this deadly disease, let us honor their memory by investing in cancer prevention, research, and care. Together, we will find the cure to defeat this vicious disease and save lives.

With more than 40,000 federal workers in #MO05 and 80,000 across the region, I know many of our neighbors are concerned about the Trump Administration’s attempt to purge civil servants. As my office seeks clarification on these illegal efforts, find some helpful resources here:
