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.

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.
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. 🇺🇸🎆
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.

“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.
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.
It’s time to put working families ahead of politics and lower costs for everyday folks.
🇺🇸 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.
from a $45 million authorization for the Brookside Sewer Separation Project to protecting the Missouri River and advancing regional flood resilience.

Delivering for Missouri means fighting for the investments that protect our communities and strengthen our future.
I’m proud the House’s 2026 #WRDA includes several priorities I championed -
Trump’s reckless war of choiceis costing Americans who were already struggling to make ends meet. The American people deserve leaders who invest in peace and prosperity, not more costly wars.
An estimated $1,000 per household.
That’s not just a number, that’s groceries, a mortgage payment, child care, or the difference between filling a prescription and going without.

🚨Student borrowers/SAVE Plan borrowers🚨
Because of Trump and the GOP’s Big Ugly Law, today starts a 90-day period requiring SAVE borrowers to transition to a new plan. All other borrowers face changes under this law and should explore repayment options at:

Republicans called it “beautiful.”
Families call it higher costs.
Patients call it lost coverage.
Parents call it empty grocery carts.
I call it exactly what it is: the Big UGLY Law.
House Democrats know that real patriotism means fighting for working people, holding the powerful accountable, and defending the values of freedom and opportunity that define America at its best.
As we approach the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, @housedemocrats.bsky.social stand united in rejecting Trump’s dark and exclusionary vision of America.
Trump is sleeping on affordable housing for Americans. In his own words:
“It’s so unimportant”
“I don’t want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up.”
“Big yawn”
Rain, sleet, or shine, postal workers deliver mail to millions of Americans each day. Today, and every day, we recognize the tireless effort and hard work that our dedicated postal workers do to keep us connected.
Congratulations to the winner of #MO05’s 2026 Congressional Art Competition. It was a privilege to welcome this talented young artist to Washington, D.C. and celebrate his work displayed in the U.S. Capitol.
Congratulations, Ian! Keep creating and inspiring! 🎨
The 14th Amendment settled this question long ago. I’m pleased the SCOTUS upheld birthright citizenship and rejected efforts to chip away at one of our Constitution’s most fundamental guarantees. Our laws, and our democracy, are strongest when we honor the Constitution, not attempt to rewrite it.
