We're now jeopardizing the security of a longtime ally because South Korea's leaders had enough common sense to stay out of an unnecessary war. No matter how you slice it, the war with Iran has been a geopolitical catastrophe for the United States.

And when farmers are forced to pay more for diesel, the prices at the grocery store go up for everyone. Unsurprisingly to everyone outside the White House, the ripple effects of war extend far beyond the country being bombed.

American farmers were already in the midst of an economic crisis when the President decided to unilaterally launch a war with Iran. With global fuel supplies now severely disrupted, their situation has been made even worse.

Thrilled to join friends from the Truman Library Institute at the groundbreaking ceremony for the renovation of the museum’s exterior grounds and courtyard! This $13 million project will take the Truman Library new heights and help ensure that the Man from Independence is never forgotten!

1 day spent fighting a useless war that burns through taxpayer dollars is too much. The Sailors and Marines aboard the USS Lincoln have now been deployed to the Middle East for 267 days.

We're breaking all the wrong records and making life unaffordable for millions of Americans. We can't keep going down this path. On tariffs and the war with Iran, it's time to reverse course.

266 days. That's how much time has passed since the President deployed the 5,000 Sailors and Marines aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. It's a record-breaking deployment, and the families of our servicemembers have been sounding the alarm about deteriorating conditions on the ship.

83% of small businesses have raised their prices in response to Presidential tariffs. 29% have been forced to lay off workers.
 There's no other way to put it - the President's tariffs have wreaked havoc on our economy, and the American people are paying the price.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.gov4d ago(source)
For the federal government to pull a bait-and-switch on young people who enlisted in the military is outrageous. This is no way to show appreciation for those sworn to protect us.

In the early 1980s, the median age of a first-time homebuyer in the United States was 29. By 2025, that age had risen to the all-time high of 40. For decades, the dream of homeownership has slipped further and further out of reach for millions of Americans.

That means expanding our housing supply, modernizing our housing finance system, removing unnecessary barriers to development, and helping make homeownership and affordable housing more attainable for millions of Americans! #ROADReady
