The president’s decision to bail out Argentina by giving them a $20 billion handout and buying their beef is undermining Missouri farmers and ranchers.
It’s certainly not “America First”

Republicans already made the largest cut to federal food assistance programs in history earlier this year.
Now, their refusal to negotiate a bipartisan budget—and the administration’s refusal use contingency funding—is threatening food assistance for 42 million Americans that rely on SNAP.
As the president’s tariff taxes drive up prices & kill good-paying jobs, American families are struggling to make ends meet.
It’s about time that congressional Republicans worked with Democrats to pass a bipartisan budget that will lower health care costs & end the president’s reckless experiment.

@repfletcher.bsky.social and I are leading 100 of our colleagues in the fight to reverse this decision and return these investments to our communities.
It is Congress that has the power of the purse—and we won’t stop fighting to lower energy costs and boost economic activity in the heartland.
Congress created the Solar for All Program to expand solar energy output, create good-paying jobs, & lower energy costs for American families.
Earlier this year, the president illegally canceled $7 billion in Solar for All funding, including $156 million awarded to Missouri.
I'm fighting back.
These are the people who oversee our nuclear stockpile.
Instead of playing politics with our national security, the administration should keep these professionals on the job to keep our country safe.

The administration’s decision to furlough nearly 80% of the National Nuclear Security Administration federal workforce, which has never happened before despite multiple government shutdowns, undermines our national security and hurts workers in #MO05.
I'm calling on them to reverse this action.
The administration shouldn’t play politics with American families struggling to keep food on the table.
They have contingency dollars to keep delivering SNAP benefits to Missouri households—and I’ll keep pushing them to do so.
As I continue fighting to bring federal investments back to #MO05 to revitalize our communities and expand opportunities for Missouri families, find more information on the Independence Square Streetscape Project here:
www.kmbc.com/article/inde...
From new sidewalks to safer crossings, the completed Independence Square Streetscape Project is proof that when we invest in our communities, everyone benefits.
I am proud to have delivered more than $3 million in federal funding to help make this vision a reality!
We are now on day 27 of the Republican shutdown.
But instead of negotiating with Democrats to reopen the government, pay federal workers, and solve the Republican health care crisis, the Speaker has extended House Republicans’ month-long vacation.
In Washington, there's no sign of progress in ending the shutdown, and President Trump has not even tried to lead any talks
Around the country, in the meantime, the hardships are really starting to mount for federal workers.

The Big Ugly Bill made the largest cut to SNAP in history.
Now, the administration is playing politics with these benefits.
That’s why I joined 213 House Democrats in calling on USDA to maintain funding for SNAP during the Republican shutdown.

Breaking ground, building hope.
Proud to celebrate the start of the Parade Park redevelopment—a project rooted in equity, community, and progress for Kansas City’s East Side.
This project will bring new housing, jobs, and opportunity right where they’re needed most.
“millions of people will see their health insurance payments double or even triple in 2026.”
“by far the largest annual premium increases in recent years.”
“affecting up to 17 million Americans”
This is why Democrats are fighting to #ProtectOurCare and lower costs!
“Some 181 farmers filed for bankruptcy protection in the first half of the year, a 60 percent increase from the year before and the highest six-month reading since 2020”
But instead of supporting American farmers, the president gave a $20 billion bailout to Argentina.
The president’s tariff taxes are driving up prices on everyday essentials that American families depend on.
It’s time for Republicans in Congress to utilize their Article One powers under the constitution to put an end to this reckless experiment.
Inflation is back at 3% for the first time since January—and it’s all because of the president’s reckless tariff taxes.
Now, instead of working in a bipartisan manner to lower costs on essentials like health care and groceries, Republicans have shut the government down.
I was proud to help secure federal dollars for this project through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and I look forward to the tremendous benefits it will bring to communities across #MO05.
Together, we’ll keep building a better Kansas City for all.
The regionalism and bipartisan cooperation of Kansas City is what allows our communities to flourish—and there’s no better example of this than the #KCStreetCar.
From the River Market to UMKC, the Main Street Extension will connect communities, expand opportunities, and help move KC forward.
