The president’s tariff taxes have been a disaster for American farmers and hardworking families who are now spending more to keep food on the table. This Tax Day, Congress should provide relief to communities nationwide by putting an end to this reckless experiment. fortune.com/2026/04/14/h...
As natural disasters become more prevalent and intense due to climate change, the EPA has found that contaminated toxic waste sites nationwide are vulnerable to floods and wildfires, putting millions of Americans at risk. Congress must take action to keep families safe. apnews.com/article/epa-...
The KC Chamber and Missouri Chamber play a vital role in strengthening local businesses across the region. Thankful for the opportunity to meet with representatives of the Chambers this week to discuss what Congress can do to support small businesses and boost economic development.
The Quindaro Townsite is a significant piece of history in the KC region. Today, I was proud to introduce bipartisan legislation with Rep. Schmidt & Rep. Davids to designate Quindaro as a National Historic Landmark, preserving its legacy for generations to come. cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
The president’s disastrous war and reckless tariff taxes continue to drive up prices. Congress must take action to rein in this dangerous administration and provide relief to hardworking families before more damage is done.
The Labor Department reported that its producer price index — which measures inflation before it hits consumers — rose 0.5% from February and 4% from March 2025. The year-over-year gains was the biggest in more than three years.
The president promised to lower costs for hardworking families. Instead, he started a war that has caused the largest monthly increase in gas prices in nearly 60 years, with the average household now expected to spend $740 extra on gas this year alone.
Black women are 3x more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause. During Black Maternal Health Week, we raise awareness and take action to end our maternal health crisis. Proud to work with House Democrats to pass the #Momnibus, end this crisis, and improve outcomes for Black moms nationwide.
The essence of Christianity is about humility, not verbal toxicity. It is about uncommon sacrifice and service, not personal vanity and self-worship. It is not about bellicosity, but the practice of radical generosity. The president insults Christians around the world with this blasphemous post.
I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.
Trump TS post featuring an illustration of himself as a Christian faith healer
On Yom HaShoah, we honor the 6 million innocent Jewish lives lost during the Holocaust, and we recommit ourselves to confronting antisemitism with fierce urgency and resolve. May their memories always be a blessing.
Inflation skyrocketing. Real disposable personal income declining. Economic growth slowing. These are the results of the president’s reckless economic policies and illegal war of choice in the Middle East.
Consumer prices jumped 0.9% in March as Iran war sent gas prices soaring “The annual rate of inflation hit 3.3%, led by a 21.2% increase for gasoline — the largest one-month increase at the pump since 1967.” www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...
The President and Republicans in Congress have driven up costs through their reckless tariffs, ripped healthcare away from hardworking families, and started another war in the Middle East that has led to soaring gas prices. It’s no wonder Americans are dissatisfied.
U.S. consumer sentiment has fallen to the lowest level ever recorded. Sentiment declined across all age, income, and political demographic groups.
The president’s war of choice has claimed the lives of 13 U.S. service members and thousands of Iranians, engulfed the Middle East region into conflict, sent gas prices skyrocketing, and damaged our economy. Families are already paying the price for Trump’s war.
Whether it is the reckless trade wars closing off markets or the illegal war in Iran driving up costs, the administration’s chaotic policies are crushing American farmers. They deserve better.
Iowa farmer: A lot of farmer discouragement out there. Prices of our soybeans started going down. Prices of fertilizer going up. For a year, we've seen some real chaos. The cost of diesel has soared since the war began. So many farms are reporting that they're on the brink of something bad.
The president’s policies were already driving up costs before he started a war with Iran that caused oil prices to nearly double. As hardworking families struggle to stay afloat, Congress must rein in this administration before more damage is done.
Inflation pressures were firming before the war. The core PCE index rose 0.37% in February and was +3.0% on the year. The 6-month annualized rate was +3.4%, the highest since June 2024, before the Fed began to cut rates. The 3-month annualized rate was +4.4%, the highest since March 2024.
