Always a pleasure meeting with Chancellor Agrawal and representatives from @umkc.bsky.social.
I’ll keep working to ensure Congress continues investing in these vital institutions and the education they provide to students in Kansas City and across the country!
Rather than expanding affordable health care or investing in hardworking families here at home, the administration wants Congress to provide $200 BILLION for the president’s war of choice in the Middle East.
I cannot in good conscience support that.
Our legislation would ensure incarcerated workers are paid at least the federal minimum wage, eliminate excessive wage deductions, and extend basic labor protections to workers in correctional facilities nationwide.

The time has come to end the exploitation of prison workers across the country.
That’s why I’m introducing the Fair Wages for Incarcerated Workers Act with @booker.senate.gov and @kamlager-dove.house.gov.

Kansas City is beyond grateful for the contributions of Gwen Grant and her decades of civil rights activism.
I thank her for her service to our communities and wish her well as she heads into a well-deserved retirement!

Honored to receive the Congressional Partnership Award from COSCDA for my work to strengthen HUD housing programs, including the HOME Program which is essential to the development of affordable housing nationwide.
Together, we’ll keep fighting to ensure every family can achieve the American Dream!
Working-class families were already struggling to stay afloat, but the president’s tariff taxes and reckless trade wars are driving up prices.
Now, rather than enact policies that will lower costs, the president has launched a war of choice in the Middle East that has sent energy costs soaring.
We need an all-of-the-above energy approach, including biofuels like E15 and renewables.
As energy prices skyrocket due to the president’s war of choice in the Middle East, his administration is seeking to spend $1 billion in taxpayer funding to kill offshore wind farms that would help lower energy costs.
All so his Big Oil donors can gouge Americans.

The president’s reckless and regressive economic policies have delivered higher costs and fewer jobs to American families.
Congress must take action to reverse course and provide relief before more damage is done.
The American Dream is simply out of reach for far too many Americans—which is why I’m fighting to cut outdated regulations and incentivize the construction of affordable housing across the country.
Together, we’ll keep working to ensure every family has a safe and affordable place to call home.
I was honored to speak with @sen-marcmorial.bsky.social and members of the National Urban League about the Housing for the 21st Century Act and the work I’m doing to expand affordable housing and lower costs for hardworking families in communities nationwide.
Grateful for the opportunity to sit down with local leaders from Lee’s Summit to discuss the need for Congress to boost investments in public safety and critical infrastructure.
I’ll keep fighting to bring these investments back home to #MO05!
If you’re waiting in an extraordinarily long TSA line or awaiting assistance from FEMA, you can thank congressional Republicans for blocking funding for these critical agencies.
Democrats will continue working to restore funding while holding ICE accountable.
As diesel prices skyrocket, so do the goods that are shipped around the world.
American families are already struggling to keep up with rising prices—and the president’s reckless war with Iran is only exacerbating the crisis.
The Trump administration says the quiet part out loud: American consumers are the last of their concern right now.
Hardworking families deserve better.
Thankful for the opportunity to speak to local leaders from across the country this morning at the National League of Cities conference about the work I’m doing to enact comprehensive housing reforms.
Together, let us continue working to build affordable housing & lower costs for families.
Wishing everyone in #MO05 a happy St. Patrick’s Day!
As we celebrate Irish heritage and culture with family and friends, may your day be filled with joy and cheer!
The American people have a right to know—and the president has a responsibility to explain—why our men and women in uniform are being sent to participate in a war that has not been authorized by Congress.
