With Americans demanding action to lower housing costs, Congress has an opportunity to pass bipartisan, comprehensive housing legislation like my HOME Reform Act to ensure every family has access to affordable housing.
I’ll keep fighting until we get the job done.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to speak with members of the National Housing Conference about the work I’m doing with Rep. Flood and @ushousefsc.bsky.social to cut through red tape, expand the supply of affordable housing, and lower housing costs for hardworking families.
Affordability may not feel real to a billionaire president—but it’s everything to working-class families trying to stay afloat financially.
Unfortunately, the president is completely out of touch and does not care about the concerns of the American people.
The president’s tariff taxes continue to drive up prices, kill good-paying jobs, and crush American small businesses.
Republicans in Congress must join with Democrats to put an end to these reckless trade policies before more damage is done.
Whether it’s a loved one with cancer or a friend with diabetes, someone you know is alive today because of a medical breakthrough or essential research that is funded by the NIH.
Cutting this funding will only lead to more unnecessary pain in our communities.

None of God’s children are “garbage.”
This kind of hateful rhetoric is despicable and does nothing to keep our communities safe. In fact, it only inflames tensions and leads to unnecessary violence.
Immigrants have always been a vital part of what makes America great—and they always will be.
There are tens of thousands of families in #MO05 who will see their health care costs skyrocket on January 1 if ACA tax credits are not extended.
But Republicans in Congress don’t care.

President Trump just pardoned a corrupt politician that was convicted of flooding our streets with at least 400 TONS of deadly drugs.
Once again, he puts the wealthy and well-connected above the American people.
“It really is all about tariffs”
The president’s tariff taxes were meant to support American manufacturing.
Instead, they have led to NINE straight months of contraction in the industry, while driving up prices for American consumers & small businesses.

“More Americans are falling behind on their utility payments due to rising energy prices”
As the president guts investments in renewable energy, American families are paying the price in higher utility costs.

“This year, it’s $295 per month.”
“And if the [ACA] subsidies go away Jan. 1, the price will be $1,216 per month, a 312% increase.”
By killing ACA tax credits, Republicans are driving up the health care costs of hardworking Missouri families.

We’re now a full month into ACA Open Enrollment—and Republicans still don’t have a plan to prevent health care costs from skyrocketing on working-class families.
It’s time they joined with Democrats to extend ACA tax credits that lower costs for the people.

The lack of affordable housing in communities nationwide is driving up costs on hardworking families—and outdated regulations are playing a major role.
That’s why I’m working on bipartisan legislation to cut through red tape and lower costs:

Day after day, the Fox-News-host-turned-Defense-Secretary undermines our national security & dishonors our nation.
These reports are deeply disturbing, and Congress should fully investigate him and others for potential war crimes.
America is better than this.

On World AIDS Day, we remember the friends and loved ones lost to HIV/AIDS.
Let us honor their memory by renewing our commitment to ending the stigma, advancing innovative treatments, and finding a cure.
70 years ago today, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama.
As we remember this key moment in the Civil Rights Movement, may we honor her courage by recommitting to advancing equality and justice for ALL Americans.
We have so much to be grateful for in the United States of America.
Today, I’m wishing everyone in #MO05 and across the country a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.
The president said that he would lower costs for hardworking families on Day One.
Instead, his tariff taxes are driving up prices on groceries and other everyday essentials.
