Which is why I was proud to highlight $79,358,568 in federal funding secured for MO-05 and the Kansas City region to strengthen World Cup security, transportation, and readiness.

In just a short time, thousands of visitors from across the globe will arrive at the doorstep of the heartland of the United States and we intend to show them the very best of us.
Survivors deserve justice. The public deserves the truth.
And yet the American people are being told there’s “nothing to prosecute.”
If millions of files point to a global criminal enterprise that may meet the threshold for crimes against humanity, transparency and accountability aren’t optional – they’re essential.
Their legacy reminds us why we must keep defending pensions, protecting Social Security & Medicare, and strengthening the right to organize.
Honored to join the retirees of UAW Local31.
These brothers and sisters helped build the middle class in our community – fighting for fair wages, good benefits, and the dignity of work.
Faith demands we tell the truth, defend the vulnerable, and pursue justice – not just in word, but in policy.
May this season soften our hears, sharpen our conscience, and move us toward courageous, compassionate leadership.
As a pastor & Member of Congress, I believe this is also a time for collective accountability, to reflect on how the power we hold impacts the dignity, safety, and wellbeing of the people we serve.
As we observe Lent, the holy month of Ramadan, and prepare for Passover and Easter, we’re reminded that sacred seasons call us to humility, repentance, generosity, and repair.
You don’t declare victory when families are still choosing between groceries, rent, and health care.
The real measure of the economy is whether working people feel relief at the kitchen table – and the reality is that many do not.
Accountability shouldn’t stop at the Atlantic. If leaders in Europe can face consequences tied to the Epstein files, the American people deserve the same transparency and reckoning here at home. No one is above the law and survivors deserve justice.

Families are already stretched thin. When Trump’s tariffs and Republicans’ rising health care costs get passed straight to consumers, working people pay the price.
We should be lowering costs, not creating new ones.
This raises serious concerns about political pressure and the independence of our media. No regulator – including the Federal Communications Commission – should be used, directly or indirectly, to chill speech.
A free press is fundamental to our democracy.
My full statement below:
Today, we mourn the passing of my friend and a giant in the fight for justice, Reverend Jesse Jackson.
Because of his leadership, doors were opened, barriers were broken, and generations were empowered to dream bigger.
May we honor him not only with words, but with continued work.
Rest in power.
Today we honor the leaders who’ve served as President — and we remember that in America, power belongs to the people. Our democracy is strongest when leaders are held accountable and when we protect the freedoms generations fought to secure. That work continues now.

In earnings calls earlier today, investors in GEO Group and CoreCivic criticized ICE. Their chief complaint? ICE's detained population, despite hitting record highs, still isn't large enough.

Selling out American farmers and ranchers won’t bring down the cost of groceries. Flooding the market with foreign beef threatens our own producers while prices at the store stay sky high because Trump won’t change course on his inflationary tariffs.
