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.

The Washington Post

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Imagine saying this to the nurse working a double shift. To the warehouse worker pulling overtime. To the teacher with a second job. To the parent working two jobs and still struggling to afford groceries or the roof over their head.

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

July is Disability Pride Month, a time to celebrate the achievements, contributions, and leadership of people with disabilities. This month, we reject disability stigma and ableism and will come together in service of ensuring an accessible and inclusive society.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 4(source)

Wishing everyone in #MO05 a safe and happy Fourth of July. Today, we celebrate our country, our community, and the shared values that bring us together as we continue to fight for a more perfect union. 🇺🇸🎆

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 2(source)

Workers built this economy. They deserve a bigger piece of it. Instead, their share of the nation's income is at its lowest level in nearly 80 years while corporations and billionaires continue to cash in. That’s not a healthy economy, it’s a rigged one and it ain’t right. bit.ly/444YSSl

This number helps explain why many Americans are down on the economy

American workers' share of the nation's income is at its lowest point in almost 80 years, as more of the economy's gains flow to corporations and investors.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 2(source)

“No forever wars” became another broken promise. Instead of keeping America out of another prolonged conflict, Trump has left us with uncertainty abroad, higher costs at home, and no clear path forward.

The Wall Street Journal

President Trump came to office promising an end to forever wars. He now finds himself bogged down in talks with Iran with no end in sight.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 2(source)

A foreign government gifted Trump a plane that he is taking with him when he leaves office. Taxpayers paid millions to retrofit it while working families are shouldering higher costs. Republicans applauded both.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 2(source)

It’s time to put working families ahead of politics and lower costs for everyday folks.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govJul 2(source)

🇺🇸 The U.S. is celebrating 250. Americans are paying 20% more. That’s not the American Dream. 4th of July cookout staples are soaring in price and families are feeling it at the grocery store, the gas pump, and the checkout line.
