After months of warnings that tariff taxes would drive up costs on essential goods and groceries, that’s exactly what we’re seeing in communities across the country.
Instead of trying to deny this reality, the administration should work with Congress to lower costs for hardworking families.

America’s partnerships with other premier intelligence agencies around the world help keep our communities safe.
The administration’s reckless and lawless actions are threatening these critical relationships.

The president’s extreme mass deportation policies are diverting resources away from critical efforts to combat child sex trafficking, terrorism financing, human smuggling.
It’s making America less safe.

When given the option between supporting American families or benefiting corporate interests, this president will always choose to enrich giant corporations.
Another example here:

As Republican policies continue to drive up health care costs for American families, @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting to extend ACA tax credits that lower costs for the people.
We only need 4 Republicans to join us in that fight.

The power brokers in Washington who drew the new Missouri map do not understand, or care about, our communities.
Their partisan power grab will not benefit anyone but extreme politicians—which is why the people don’t support it.

The administration’s attempt to erase the sacrifices & achievements of Black Americans throughout our nation’s history is outrageous & deeply offensive.
These heroes deserve our respect and gratitude.
The administration should restore these honors NOW.

Tariffs drive up prices and make it harder for American businesses to sell products abroad.
I'm glad to see tariff taxes may be reduced on food and essential goods, but the President should just admit his tariff policies are wrong and hurting Americans.

On World Diabetes Day, I’m proud to support legislation that would reauthorize the Special Diabetes Program.
Our bipartisan bill invests in lifesaving T1D research, improving care today and accelerating cures for tomorrow.
Together, we'll keep working to support our neighbors with T1D. #SeeT1D
The administration refuses to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits that lower health care costs for working-class families—but they will spend billions to change the name of the Department of Defense.
Once again, the well-being of American families comes last.
The American people will not forget that the Trump administration made the largest cut to SNAP in history this summer—and then used the program and the people who depend on it as political pawns during the Republican shutdown.

At a time when families are already struggling with the rising cost of housing, the administration is gutting housing grants that prevent Americans from becoming homeless.
It’s more cruelty that will have devastating consequences for the most vulnerable.
www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...
The Republican spending bill failed to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits that lower health care costs for tens of thousands of families across #MO05.
I refused to support legislation that would lead to premiums skyrocketing for my constituents.

I will not support legislation that ensures the health care costs of Missouri families will skyrocket.
House Democrats will continue fighting to extend ACA tax credits, reverse Republican cuts, and save Americans’ health care.
Read the emails for yourself.
It’s about time that Republicans in Congress stopped covering for the president and started providing transparency to the American people.
Release the Epstein Files.
While congressional Republicans are fighting to kill ACA tax credits that help working-class families afford health care, they continue to support the president’s tariff taxes that are driving up grocery costs.
Their policies and priorities are completely backward.
I was humbled to participate in The WWI Museum’s Veterans Day program in honor of the men and women who have courageously defended our nation in the armed forces.
To those who have sacrificed for our freedoms, we are grateful every day for your service.
Today marks Veterans Day, a day to honor the brave men and women who risked their lives to defend our freedoms.
Today and every day, we thank America’s veterans for their sacrifice and service to the nation.
While Republicans slash taxes for the wealthy and well-connected, I refuse to support such heartless policies.
