“Americans are paying more for appliances, home furnishings, toys and shoes than they were a few months ago, and they could soon face higher prices on more goods as the Trump administration’s latest round of sharper tariffs kicks in.”

“The Trump administration has terminated more than half of all federal funding for gun violence prevention programs in the US”
If the president wants to make our communities safer, he should reinstate federal funding dedicated to gun violence prevention.

Crime hit a 30-year low in Washington last year.
Crime is down another 26% this year.
Rather than wasting taxpayer dollars and law enforcement resources to insult our nation’s capital, the president should focus on lowering costs for American families.
Americans who served and sacrificed to defend our freedoms deserve their earned benefits, period.
The administration’s attempt to deny these servicemembers the retirement benefits they’ve earned is disgraceful.

As the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance, I’m fighting every day to reform and revitalize federal housing programs in a way that will allow us to build more affordable housing in communities across the country.

The new Villa View complex created by Guadalupe Centers is a great example of how we can lower housing costs by strengthening public-private partnerships, utilizing federal tax policy and private construction to build more affordable housing.

Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill will “slash federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion”
“Various estimates conclude that between 130,000 and 170,000 Missourians could lose coverage under the state’s Medicaid program, known as MO HealthNet”

President Trump didn’t just pardon insurrectionists who attacked police officers at our Capitol Building on January 6th—he hired one who urged others to “kill” officers to be a senior advisor at the Department of Justice.
Absolutely disgraceful.

Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill made the largest cut to Medicaid in American history while showering billionaires and giant corporations with trillions in more tax breaks.
Now, vulnerable students in communities across the country will pay the price.

The President’s tariff taxes are paid by AMERICAN consumers and small businesses—which is why the costs of everything from cars to beef to coffee are becoming more expensive.
At a time when hardworking families are struggling with the cost of living, this is only exacerbating the crisis.
The president’s tariff taxes are already undermining small businesses and making life more expensive for American families.
With another round of tariffs enacted today, Americans will see prices continue to rise and job growth slow even further.

Yesterday, I was proud to join Guadalupe Centers & community leaders for the ribbon cutting of Villa View Apartments in KC’s Historic Northeast.
42 of the 50 units are affordable housing - with wraparound services for families, students, & educators.
We’ll keep fighting to lower housing costs.
The Trump administration’s decision to terminate union contracts for thousands of employees is another example of their anti-worker agenda.
Not only does this hurt hardworking employees at the VA, but it undermines the vital services they provide to our nation’s veterans

Today marks National Purple Heart Day.
On this day, let us come together to honor and show appreciation to Purple Heart recipients who selflessly served our nation & stood in harm’s way to protect the freedoms we cherish.
Thank you for your extraordinary bravery and sacrifice.
Ghislaine Maxwell is a convicted predator who participated in one of the most horrific sex trafficking operations in modern history.
Under no circumstances should she receive clemency—which is why I’m supporting @congressmanraja.bsky.social ’s resolution.

From Polio to Measles to COVID, vaccines have been a blessing that have saved countless lives in the United States & around the world.
This decision from Secretary Kennedy is anti-science and a danger to our communities. It must be reversed immediately.

It was an honor to speak at @weareunidosus.bsky.social’s Beacons of Change Conference in Kansas City.
As we continue the fight to protect civil liberties and push for economic progress, we must stand united in the pursuit of better opportunities for Latinos and all Americans.
On this day 60 years ago, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was signed into law.
But our fight to defend voting rights is not over.
Together, we must keep pushing to pass legislation like the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to ensure EVERY American can make their voice heard in our democracy.
“He has to live under that fear of somebody knocking on the door and dragging him out of the house, just like they did in Derry when he was young”
“I am just worried about him. Until recently, I hadn’t heard him cry about it.”

Republicans Big Ugly Bill will not only take food off the table of vulnerable families, but it will also harm local small businesses in communities across the country.
All to fund more tax breaks for the wealthy and giant corporations.
