Yesterday’s passage of the Housing for the 21st Century Act marks a critical step forward – but make no mistake, the job is not finished. As we enter negotiations with the Senate and the President, I’ll continue to work with urgency.

Hardworking Americans deserve housing policies that actually meet the needs of today & tomorrow - not yesterday.
I’m proud to support the Housing for the 21st Century Act because it provides real solutions, expanding access to safe, affordable housing.
Let’s be clear: nationalizing elections by putting ICE or the military at polling places is about suppressing votes, not protecting elections.
This is authoritarianism and it has no place in America.

Reposted byRep. Emanuel Cleaver
Too many Americans live paycheck to paycheck. With the cost of everyday needs skyrocketing, losing a job could upend your entire life. Services like SNAP are there to help you put food on the table and get back on your feet.
Funding for DHS expires on Friday and Republicans would rather risk shutting down critical agencies like FEMA, TSA, and the Coast Guard than work with Democrats to rein in ICE’s out-of-control brutality and lawlessness.

In their Big Ugly Bill, Republicans gave ICE a $75 billion blank check to brutalize and kill the American people while at the same time ripping away health care and nutritional assistance.
Democrats are fighting to lower your costs because hardworking families in #MO05 should not have to pay $1,426 more this year because of Trump’s tariffs and the Big Ugly Law
It was intentional.
There is nothing flippant about racism. Dehumanization always precedes harm.
Make no mistake, bigotry is birthed, baptized, and babysat by ignorance.
The president’s tariff taxes and reckless trade policies have driven up input costs and closed vital markets that American farmers depend on.
Republicans in Congress could put an end to this failed experiment today—but they refuse to stand up to the president.
While Republicans were busy slashing taxes for giant corporations like Amazon—which is laying off tens of thousands of workers—they refused to extend ACA tax credits that help working-class families afford health care.
It’s the same trickle-down economics that has failed families for decades.
As AI advances, it’s important that we are preparing the workforce of the future with the skills necessary to succeed.
Proud to have secured $1 million in federal funding to support AI and tech programs @rockhurstu.bsky.social for current and incoming students.

Every day, the President of the United States calls on Americans to join him in being the worst versions of themselves.
I hope that every elected official and American will refuse, and join me in condemning this vile, racist post.
We must be better than this.

I’m thrilled to announce I have secured more than $15 million for local projects across #MO05!
From replacing the Kentucky Avenue Bridge in Independence to supporting public safety initiatives in Kansas City and Lee’s Summit, these investments will help make our communities safer & more prosperous.
As American families struggle with rising costs, it is imperative that Congress take bipartisan action to boost the development of affordable housing in communities nationwide.
Our Housing for the 21st Century Act will do exactly that.
Let's pass it into law.

More evidence that the president’s tariff taxes and regressive economic policies are damaging the economy and killing good-paying jobs.
It’s time for Republicans to join with Democrats and provide relief to American workers and small businesses.
Since the Civil Rights Movement, Black and Jewish Americans have worked together to combat persecution and pursue racial justice for all of God’s children.
A great local history of this everlasting bond here:
flatlandkc.org/news-issues/...
A deeply irresponsible and intentionally misleading statement from the third most powerful person in government.
By sowing doubt in our elections, Republicans in Washington are attempting to undermine our democracy and silence the voices of voters.
It’s shameful.
The labor market remains weak due to the president’s tariff taxes dragging down American consumers and small businesses.
And workers are paying the price.
Corruption comes at a cost to the people.
While hardworking families are struggling to stay afloat, the president and his family are enriching themselves like never before.
Americans deserve better.
