American families want Congress to take action that will lower health care costs.
But rather than investing in health care for working-class families, Republicans in Congress have made historic cuts to health care programs in order to finance more tax cuts for the wealthiest 1%.

Supported with nearly $24 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Turkey Creek Flood Protection Project is now complete!
Now, local families, homeowners, and small businesses can breathe a sigh of relief knowing they are protected from extreme weather.
Flood waters pay no regard to state borders, and supporting infrastructure projects throughout the Kansas City area ensures the safety and readiness of #MO05!
Since President Trump took office and Republicans took control of Congress, the average household has paid an additional $4,700 for goods and services due to rising costs.
Whether it’s the disastrous war in the Middle East or the costly tariff taxes driving up costs, Republicans are making life harder for American families.
The most corrupt administration in American history.

The president promised to lower costs on day one.
But after nearly two years in office, the policies of the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress have led to higher inflation, higher fuel prices, higher unemployment, and higher mortgage rates.
A complete failure.
The policies enacted by President Trump and Republicans in Congress have crushed working-class families while further enriching the wealthiest 1%.
The American people deserve so much better.
Trump ran on tax cuts. But his economic policies have driven up taxes and costs for all but the wealthiest 1% of Americans, a think tank reports. usatoday.com/story/money/per…
Vladimir Putin is directly responsible for the deaths of countless innocent civilians in Ukraine.
The Trump administration’s support of his regime only encourages the continuation of his despicable invasion and the deaths of civilians.
It’s sickening to watch.
“Food distribution programs are getting less food from federal programs to feed the hungry after cuts by the Trump administration."
“At the same time, restrictions on food stamps from the Republicans’ ‘big, beautiful bill’ have driven up demand, while rising gas prices because of the Iran war have cut into the budgets of households and food banks alike.”

The President of the United States has decided to side with a murderous dictator and our adversaries in Russia, rather than standing with our freedom-loving and democratic allies in Ukraine.
The Congress must push back against the president’s disastrous foreign policy before more damage is done.

“It was the second time in two years that the president authorized billions of dollars in bailout money for farmers harmed by his administration’s policies”
Missouri farmers want lower fuel prices, open markets, and free trade—not inadequate government bailouts.

The president’s disastrous war is driving up interest rates and the cost of critical materials, which is crushing construction of affordable housing and pushing the American dream of homeownership further out of reach.
Hardworking families deserve better.

The Serbian people deserve free and fair elections on Oct 25.
Violence, intimidation, and surveillance by the government around these elections de-legitimizes the result and is antithetical to democracy.
I call on Serbian authorities to uphold the rule of law and the safety of journalists, voters, and observers.

The president’s extreme mass deportation agenda is disgraceful.
Those who are willing to put themselves in harm’s way to protect our freedoms should not have their families ripped apart.

While hardworking families are struggling to stay afloat under the disastrous policies of this administration, the president of the United States is focused on breaking the law to renovate a golf course in Washington, D.C.
The American people deserve better.
Trump: "The United States Department of Interior wants to take a terrible and very unsafe golf course, and make it into a great, safe, and prestigious golf course. They have an absolute right to do so. It’s as simple as that! The judge on the case is a crazed lunatic whose courthouse tapes will reveal, may be insane? The tapes have been blocked from usage by the judge. The random golfer bringing the ridiculous lawsuit has ZERO STANDING! The experts at 'Interior' are allowed to do this First Class renovation 'as of right.' They do not need an approval. Work is scheduled to begin IMMEDIATELY! The finished product will be World Class, and bring income and great prestige back to D.C. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT"
“Cleaver said he hopes that Medicaid funding can be restored to the federal budget when a new Congress convenes next year”
Republican cuts to Medicaid are hurting Missourians across #MO05.
I’ll never stop fighting to ensure families get the care they need.

The decision to withhold access to Starlink is a betrayal of the Ukrainian people, who are fighting for their freedom against Russian aggression.
It is a deeply disgraceful action that diminishes our standing on the world stage and undermines our alliances around the world.
The president is either delusional or lying to the American people.
Since he launched the disastrous war in the Middle East, supported by Republicans in Congress, the cost of everything from gas to groceries has skyrocketed.
And hardworking families are paying the price.
Trump says prices are coming “way down.” Inflation is 3.7% and has risen in three of the last five months. Core inflation rose in September too.

In the United States of America, no one should have to fear for their safety in their place of worship.
I’m thankful that no one was injured in this despicable attempt at mass violence.
Together, we must continue to condemn and push back against bigotry and hate in all forms.
My heart breaks for the Silver Rail Elementary community as they endure unimaginable pain.
I join our fellow Americans in praying for the victims and their families—but those prayers must be backed by action.
In the wake of this latest mass shooting, we must come together and enact common sense gun safety legislation that will prevent these tragedies.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver retweeted
Biofuel keeps commodity prices competitive for farmers, sustains tens of thousands of rural manufacturing jobs, and delivers measurable savings at the pump for working families.
That’s why I joined dozens of lawmakers to urge the administration to uphold their commitment to America’s biofuel industry.
