Allowing for the year-round sale of E15 gas would lower prices at the pump, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and support American farmers at a time when producing food has become an increasingly risky pursuit.
In 2025, the United States hit a 32-year high for the number of recorded measles cases. American children are now suffering the consequences of an unqualified vaccine skeptic being appointed Secretary of Health and Human Services.
There are more than 900 confirmed measles cases in the United States, as of the CDC’s most recent weekly count Some experts worry the U.S. will lose its measles elimination status this year, a designation it has had since 2000.
However, it makes little sense to celebrate the Founding Generation while using the full force of the federal government to undermine Americans' First Amendment right to free speech. The politicization of the FTC and the FCC is deeply concerning and must come to an end.
Last night, the President repeatedly invoked the founding of this country as the United States approaches its 250th birthday. Like all Americans, I too take pride in knowing that our commitment to the belief that "all men are created equal" has so endured.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Under President Trump, the FTC and FCC are “engaged in a hostile takeover of the marketplace of ideas,” writes the editorial board.
For the 108,000 Americans who lost their manufacturing jobs last year, the 3 million Americans losing their food assistance, and the 10 million Americans losing their Medicaid, the answer is a resounding no.
In hopes of bringing greater attention to the real state of the union - where grocery prices are higher than ever, energy costs have risen steeply, and Medicaid saw its largest cut in history last year - I will attend this evening's event.
While the President may have this kind of fawning audience at the White House, he will receive no such reception when he appears before Congress for tonight's State of the Union address.
President Trump surrounds himself with yes-men who praise his every move and nod in agreement to every word that leaves his mouth. One look at his cabinet secretaries confirms this.
The United States spent nearly twenty years fighting a war in the Middle East that left this country in a weaker position than when it started. Thousands of U.S. military personnel killed and permanently injured. Families shattered. Trillions in new debt. Our standing in the world diminished.
The Pentagon is raising concerns to President Trump about an extended military campaign against Iran, advising that war plans being considered carry risks including U.S. and allied casualties, depleted air defenses and an overtaxed force. on.wsj.com/40vkhly
By withholding multiple victim interviews with the FBI, the Attorney General is blatantly violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act and perpetuating the harm done to countless victims. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Release the rest of the files.
An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.
As flights out of the Puerto Vallarta region begin to pick up, Americans should communicate directly with their airline to ensure safe departure back to the U.S. If you are a resident of Missouri's 5th Congressional District in need of assistance, you may call my Kansas City Office at 816-842-4545.
Try as he might, President Trump will never succeed at erasing the contributions that enslaved people made to building the United States. Patriotism should never be dependent upon turning a blind eye to our country's past injustices.
Workers restored a slavery exhibit at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia on Thursday. The National Park Service had removed the panels in January after an executive order from President Donald Trump. Read more: https://wapo.st/4sd3Wy5
While the effort to open a detention center in my district was thwarted, I look forward to supporting legislation that ensures these facilities are not forced upon any unwilling communities.
The people of Kansas City made it abundantly clear that warehousing human beings and separating families is immoral and beneath the principles that define the United States.
Democrats will introduce a bill that would bar DHS opening new immigration detention centers without state and local officials’ consent. “Our new bill responds directly to the concerns we’ve heard from local officials," Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said.
