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.

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.

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:

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

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!
There are thousands of Missouri farmers who are fighting for their livelihoods at this very moment.
Instead of providing relief to these hardworking Americans, the president handed $40 billion to bailout his failing friend in Argentina.
The wealthy get a $1 trillion tax cut.
Argentina gets a $40 billion bailout.
Trump gets a $200 million ballroom.
Kristi Noem gets $172 million in private jets.
But Republicans refuse to lower health care costs for families or provide relief to American farmers.
This weekend, millions of Americans stood together and did what Americans do best—exercise their first amendment right to protest their government.
It is extremely irresponsible that the Speaker and Republican leaders continue to smear these Americans and lie about the peaceful protests.
Wishing a very happy Diwali to all those celebrating in #MO05 and around the world!
May this Festival of Lights be filled with joy and spent with friends, family, and loved ones.
16 days ago, Republicans shut down the government rather than negotiate with Democrats to lower health care costs.
Since then, House Republicans have been enjoying a vacation as public servants work without pay.
How about you start by bringing House Republicans back to work?
The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress refuse to spend a dime helping to lower health care costs for American families—but they’re more than happy to give a $40 BILLION handout to Trump’s personal friend in Argentina.
It’s outrageous.
The president promised he would lower costs for hardworking families on Day One.
Instead, his tariff taxes immediately started driving up prices on everything from health care and housing to groceries and new cars.
The Protect Our TEETH Act would require the EPA to consult and publish a rapid response evidence review by independent and nonpartisan experts at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) when proposing new water fluoridation guidance.
cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
For 80 years, the addition of fluoride to community water supply has helped reduce tooth decay & improve dental health, especially for those who can't afford to regularly see the dentist.
My Protect Our TEETH Act would ensure any attempts to change these policies are backed by science—not politics.
When making policy decisions that impact the health and safety of American families, it’s important that Congress and the administration use science-backed data from independent experts.
That’s why I introduced the Protect Our TEETH Act.
