This is the time where fight or flight gives us no options. The President and Republicans chose cruelty over compassion. We’re choosing to stand our ground and to fight for the people we serve.
Republicans’ Big Ugly Law isn’t just bad policy – it’s an intentional blow to working families, affordable health care, the safety net millions depend on, and our freedoms.
Rolling out a literal red carpet for a dictator that has committed numerous war crimes & other atrocities is a moral stain on America that will not wash off easy
It also does nothing to incentivize peace
In fact, it encourages Putin to continue his bloodthirsty invasion of a neighboring democracy
“Missouri is one of the hardest-hit states in the country. Since 2014, 18 hospitals have closed statewide, including at least 12 in rural counties”
And when Republicans’ historic cuts to Medicaid go into effect, this crisis will only worsen.

“The bill aims to make it more accessible and affordable to secure a home for seniors, veterans and low-income families in rural areas.”
Every American deserves safe, stable, and affordable housing.
I’ll keep fighting to make that a reality.

“Wholesale food prices rose 1.4% from June, led by a 38.9% surge in vegetable prices. The price of home electronic equipment gained 5% from June.”

When accounting for the president’s tariff taxes and the provisions of Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill, 90% of households in America come out worse off due to cuts in healthcare, food assistance, and tax increases on consumers and small businesses.
Guess which 10% come out ahead.
It turns out that mass firing civil servants across the government leads to worse service for American veterans and hardworking families.
Rather than slashing staff at the VA, the administration should be investing in additional care for those who served.

As we have been warning for months, the president’s tariff taxes are driving up costs on everyday essentials like groceries, cars, electronics, and more.
The president promised he would lower costs for hardworking families—and he can start by putting an end to his reckless trade wars.
Nearly 144,000 Missourians in #MO05 depend on Social Security every single month—and they deserve the benefits they’ve earned.
I will never stop fighting to protect and expand your hard-earned benefits. #ProtectOurChecks
Just a few weeks ago, the Treasury Secretary stated publicly that the administration was implementing a “backdoor” way to privatize Social Security.
We won’t stand for it. #ProtectOurChecks

Social Security isn’t an entitlement; it’s money you earn through a lifetime of hard work.
As President Trump and Republicans threaten to end Social Security as we know it, @housedemocrats.bsky.social are standing strong for hardworking seniors and their benefits. #ProtectOurChecks
Our bipartisan bill will help lower housing costs by cutting through unnecessary red tape and modernizing rural housing programs to maximize efficiency and draw more private investment to rural communities.

As communities struggle to build more housing & housing costs continue to rise for families, residents in rural Missouri are struggling to stay afloat.
That’s why Rep. Nunn and I are introducing the bipartisan Rural Housing Service Reform Act to lower costs.
It turns out that mass firing civil servants across the government leads to worse service for American veterans and hardworking families.
Rather than slashing staff at the VA, the administration should be investing in additional care for those who served.

The American people are sick and tired of President Trump’s reckless tariff taxes driving up prices on everyday essentials.
Rather than cutting taxes for billionaires like himself, he should be working to cut costs for hardworking families!
Republicans know that the American people overwhelmingly support access to affordable healthcare—which is why they are quietly rolling back Obamacare and the protections it provides to families nationwide.
We won’t stop fighting against these cuts.
www.cnn.com/2025/08/12/p...
Because of the Big Ugly Bill passed by Republicans, which makes the largest cut to Medicaid in American history, millions of Americans will lose access to healthcare and more rural hospitals will close.
It’s shameful.
www.kshb.com/news/local-n...
Not only does the Big Ugly Bill rip healthcare and food assistance away from millions of families while showering millionaires and billionaires with more unnecessary tax breaks—it also adds $4 trillion to our national debt in the process.
It’s a moral monstrosity.
