Kansas City has been clear: we do not want a mega detention center in our community.
I call on my colleagues in the Homeland Security Committee and Oversight Committee to hold hearings on ICE’s actions and plans for expanded detention centers.

What would have been unthinkable a year ago is now necessary because of the administration’s reckless threats and disgraceful behavior toward our allies.
Thankful that a handful of Republicans remembered that the GOP historically has supported NATO and that part of U.S. power comes from our allies.
For years, I’ve supported legislation to ban lawmakers from trading stocks.
It’s long overdue for Congress to implement this commonsense step to ensure lawmakers are looking out for the best interests of their constituents—not their stock portfolios.
The president gets a private jet, a $300 million ballroom, and billions of dollars for his family businesses.
American families get two dolls, a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla, and higher health care costs.
The president and his administration are intentionally sowing chaos and creating unnecessary conflict with our fellow citizens in Minnesota.
Invoking the Insurrection Act would only escalate the situation and endanger more Americans.
JUST IN: President Donald Trump warned he might invoke a centuries-old law to deploy US troops to Minnesota as state and federal officials clash over tactics used by immigration agents. https://cnn.it/4pIvdH0
Wherever ICE goes, chaos is sure to follow.
Kansas City is strongly opposed to opening a mega detention center in our community.
That funding would be better spent on support for local law enforcement and other public safety initiatives.

Senator Slotkin is a committed public servant who has spent decades defending our nation and strengthening our national security.
The administration’s attempt to intimidate her is disgraceful and disturbing.
I stand with @slotkin.senate.gov.
“The 0.7 percent jump in food prices from a month earlier was the largest one-month increase in grocery prices since October 2022.”
The president’s tariff taxes continue to drive up grocery costs on hardworking families.
They deserve better.

Voice of America plays a pivotal role in enhancing America’s national security and combatting authoritarian propaganda around the world.
Happy that Congress has come together to ensure this agency can continue its critical mission.

Thanks to long overdue investments in substance abuse and mental health treatment, America has made significant progress in combatting addiction and overdose deaths.
The administration is undermining this progress by unconstitutionally freezing this funding.

#MO05 does not support opening one of ICE’s mega detention centers in our community.
As reports indicate DHS is planning to do so, I’m making clear that our community opposes this effort and requesting more information.

As Republicans in Congress continue to block an extension of ACA tax credits, millions of Americans are watching their premiums skyrocket and many are losing their health care altogether.
Democrats won’t stop fighting to provide relief to hardworking families.
www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
If Congress is not allowed to exercise oversight, then ICE and other federal agencies become unaccountable.
That’s completely unacceptable, which is why courts have affirmed lawmakers’ right to inspect these centers.
But the administration refuses to follow the law.
www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...
The people of Kansas City do not want to be a centerpiece to the administration’s cruel and extreme mass deportation policies.
This funding would be better served in support of true public safety initiatives—which is what I’ll continue pushing for.

Following reports that ICE intends to open an immigration detention center in Kansas City, I am condemning the decision and demanding more information.

Democrats in the House have done our job to lower health care premiums for millions of families by extending ACA tax credits.
But the president and Senate Republicans continue to drive up health care costs by blocking this critical legislation.
After nearly a year in office, inflation remains elevated as the cost of groceries, health care and every day goods continue to rise due to the president’s tariff taxes and regressive economic policies.
I won’t stop fighting to provide relief to hardworking Missouri families.
US inflation remained at 2.7% in December, underscoring persistent cost of living challenges https://cnn.it/4jGNovl
The administration’s funding freeze for child care centers across the country is creating chaos and threatening to drive up costs for families with young children.
Missouri families deserve better.
missouriindependent.com/2026/01/09/m...
As millions of American families see their insurance premiums skyrocket due to Republican policies, @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting to extend ACA tax credits that lower health care costs.
The Senate must pass this bill NOW!
www.kctv5.com/2026/01/11/a...
The Iranian people are bravely protesting by the thousands across the country.
I strongly condemn the Iranian government's violent response towards civilians, alleged attacks on hospitals, and cutting off internet access.
I urge the U.S. to work with our allies to support the will of the people.
