“more than half of U.S. farms are losing money, threatening small towns and rural economies.”
Farm bankruptcies are up 56% from the previous year.
The president’s tariff taxes are crushing American farmers and small businesses nationwide.
www.npr.org/2025/10/16/n...
Hardworking families are already struggling to keep up with the rising cost of groceries, electricity, and rent due to the president’s tariff taxes.
Democrats are fighting to prevent Republicans from ending ACA tax credits and driving up health care costs as well.
The only thing a dictator like Putin understands is strength.
I’m glad the president has finally decided to take off the kiddie gloves and start using the awesome power of the U.S. to hold Russia accountable for their despicable invasion of Ukraine.
Millions of federal workers nationwide are missing paychecks, and more are at risk of being furloughed because of the Republican shutdown.
Republicans need to end their month-long vacation, return to Washington, and negotiate a bipartisan budget bill that reopens government.
The Republican-manufactured health care crisis is not something that can wait.
Families are already receiving notices about their skyrocketing health care premiums.
But instead of working with Democrats to lower costs for American families, Republicans are keeping the government shut down.
The president is selling out American farmers and cattlemen to bailout his far-right ally in Argentina.
How is this America First?

Right now, Americans across the country are suffering because of the Republican health care crisis.
Premiums are skyrocketing to unaffordable levels and hospitals are closing across the country.
This is not a crisis that can wait—we need action to lower costs NOW.
“This plan only creates chaos at a critical time of the year for American cattle producers, while doing nothing to lower grocery store prices,” Colin Woodall, CEO of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association

After making the largest cut to SNAP in history, Republicans are now holding the government hostage by refusing to negotiate a bipartisan budget, threatening the SNAP benefits of millions of families nationwide.
House Republicans must end their vacation, get back to work, and reopen the government!
Millions of Americans are at risk of losing food stamp benefits before the end of October if the government shutdown continues, officials in several states have warned. https://wapo.st/4nkiGIC
Despite warnings that more than 10 million Americans would lose their health care and rural hospitals would be at risk of closure, Republicans made the largest cut to Medicaid in history.
We’re already seeing the damage.
www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/h...
The president is openly attempting to rob American taxpayers to the tune of $230 MILLION. And yet he won’t help everyday Americans with their healthcare premiums or grocery bills.
It’s one of the most brazen abuses of power in history.
Will any Republican push back against this corruption?
This is a direct consequence of the president’s reckless decision to mass pardon hundreds of individuals who participated in one of the worst acts of political violence in American history.
Thankful that the individual was apprehended before a tragedy occurred.
FLASH: Pardoned Capitol rioter charged with threatening to murder Hakeem Jeffries at NYC event this week

As millions of federal workers go without pay, the president is tearing down the White House to begin construction on a brand new $250 million ballroom.
He should be focused on negotiating a bipartisan budget bill that reopens government and lowers health care costs for families.
Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House to build President Trump’s long-desired ballroom — despite his pledge that construction of the $250 million addition wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing building. https://wapo.st/4hl7jyF
First, the president destroyed important trading relationships that American farmers depend on.
Then, the president handed Argentina a $40 billion bailout and undermined farmers further.
Now, he’s working to undercut American cattleman.
How is this America First?
More information on my call to renew Head Start funding for Western Missouri here:
cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
Head Start and other programs that families depend on are not bargaining chips.
That’s why I’m in Washington pushing for a bipartisan budget bill that will reopen government and calling on the administration to renew grant funding for Head Start.

It Day 21 of the Republican shutdown.
Instead of working with Democrats to ensure American families don’t see their health care costs double or triple, Republicans are on vacation.
I’ll keep fighting to #ProtectOurCare
www.kcur.org/health/2025-...
The government has been shut down for 3 weeks—and House Republicans have been on vacation for over a month.
Now, they’ve canceled votes and extended their vacation another week.
Completely irresponsible and out of touch.
Instead of sitting down with Democrats and negotiating a bipartisan budget that prevents healthcare costs from skyrocketing, House Republicans have been on vacation for the past month.
It’s time for them to return to Washington and get back to work on behalf of American families!
