No one should have to fear for their life while in a place of worship. I am heartbroken over the despicable attack on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan this weekend. My prayers are with the victims, their families, and the entire community.
At least four people were killed after a gunman attacked a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, on Sunday. Eight other people were wounded, one of whom was in critical condition. Here's what we know: nyti.ms/42fHiKM
Government funding runs out tomorrow—but Republicans continue to push a partisan spending bill that will cause health care costs to soar. If the government shuts down, President Trump and Republicans in control of the House and Senate have only themselves to blame.
Instead of working with Democrats on a bipartisan spending bill, House Republicans have left town. Government funding runs out in just FIVE days. If the government shuts down, it will be on Republicans.
Days after the president publicly called on his Attorney General to prosecute his personal enemies, the DOJ indicts Jim Comey. This is a five-alarm fire in the fight for our democracy. We must not give in to this authoritarian attack on the rule of law.
BREAKING on MSNBC: Former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted in the coming days in the Eastern District of Virginia, where a prosecutor who opposed bringing the case was recently fired, three sources familiar with the matter told MSNBC.
Using public servants as hostages to try to jam a partisan CR through Congress is disgraceful. Instead of threatening the livelihoods of these hardworking Americans, which will undermine the entire economy, the President should show some leadership and negotiate a bipartisan spending agreement.
The Trump administration instructed federal agencies to prepare for mass layoffs if the government shuts down Oct. 1, after federal funding runs out. https://wapo.st/48zk5qN
“Working-class Americans — already up against waning wage growth & rising housing & electricity costs — are easily burned by any increase in grocery prices & tariff-fueled increases” “I think it’s pretty obvious that the consumer is not in a great place" www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Public health decisions must be based on stringent medical studies and scientific evidence, not politics and popular conspiracies. The Trump administration’s misinformation about vaccines and other medications are dangerous and will have consequences for years to come.
Trump’s attack on vaccines yesterday — delivered from the White House — “was the most dangerously irresponsible press conference in the realm of public health in American history” @pauloffit.bsky.social told us. More on Trump’s false claims with @lenasun.bsky.social
As President Trump walks away from bipartisan negotiations, the chances of another harmful Republican shutdown have increased. Republicans must come back to the table and negotiate a bipartisan funding agreement that lowers healthcare costs and avoids a painful shutdown!
Trump Always Chickens Out. Donald Trump just cancelled a high stakes meeting in the Oval Office with myself and Leader Schumer. The extremists want to shut down the government because they are unwilling to address the Republican healthcare crisis that is devastating America. Hold the line.
"Politicians are denying our children the unified voice they deserve in DC" "Whoever drew this map might have understood political calculations, but do you really think it's fair to our kids?" Missourians will not be silenced. We'll continue to stand up & speak out www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...
Only one percent of real estate development companies are owned by Black & Latino developers. I introduced the SPUR Housing Act with @cleaver.house.gov to remedy this gap & level the development playing field by offering minority developers the tools they need to build & grow their own companies.
By providing emerging developers with the support to pursue projects in rural and urban communities alike, we can create good-paying jobs, increase our national housing supply, and drive down prices for hardworking families. That’s what our bill will do.
I cannot in good conscience support a partisan budget bill that will cause my constituents in Missouri to see their healthcare costs skyrocket—which is precisely what this legislation would do. My full statement on my vote against the partisan CR here:
After making the largest cut to Medicaid in history, Republicans are now working to eliminate tax credits that help hardworking families afford their health coverage If they succeed, 46,000 people in #MO05 will see their annual healthcare costs skyrocket by an average of 109% I won’t support that
