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:

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.
“Current economic conditions and Trump administration policies could lead to ‘a widespread collapse of American agriculture,’ a bipartisan coalition of former Agriculture Department officials and leaders of farm groups warned”

On World Cancer Day, we remember the lives lost to this horrific disease and honor their memory by striving to eradicate it.
I won’t stop working in Congress to invest in cancer prevention, care, and research that will allow us to find cures and save lives.
With funding for DHS scheduled to lapse in 2 weeks, I call on Republicans in Congress to join with Democrats to enact comprehensive reforms that will put an end to the brutality, protect civil liberties, and ensure accountability.
Anything less is unacceptable.
I cannot in good conscience vote to continue funding for the Department of Homeland Security as federal agents gun down Americans and undermine the constitutional rights of our fellow citizens.
For that reason, I voted against today’s appropriations package.
The president promised he would lower costs and revive American manufacturing.
Instead, his tariff taxes have driven up prices on essential goods and killed good-paying manufacturing jobs across the country.
As the president continues to lie about the 2020 election, and after inciting an insurrection to try to steal it, Americans should take these threats seriously.
Elected officials at every level must stand up to the president’s attempt to rig elections.
Every member of our community deserves safe, stable, and affordable housing.
Following my visit to Bowen Tower last month, I’m pleased the situation has reached a mutually beneficial resolution that will lead to necessary repairs and lower costs for residents.
