Congress provided this funding to support families and students in public schools across the country—but the president is illegally withholding the funds, causing more chaos and unnecessary uncertainty in our communities.
It must end.

Straight from the Trump administration’s Border Czar: ICE is detaining individuals “based on their location, their occupation, their physical appearance, their accent”
In other words: based on racial profiling.
It’s unacceptable and undermines every American’s constitutional rights.
“Americans on Medicaid will receive better care because we cut $1 TRILLION from the program” is one of the most absurd arguments I’ve heard.
In reality, millions of Americans who desperately need care will lose it—all because Republicans wanted to give more tax breaks to the wealthiest 1%.
With hardworking families already struggling to keep up with the cost of groceries, Republicans made the largest cut to food assistance programs in history, taking more food off the tables of Americans nationwide.
All to fund more tax breaks for the wealthiest 1%.
“The budget reconciliation bill that the Republicans just passed isn’t just bad policy — it’s a full-blown attack on America’s working class.”

Thanks to Trump cuts, the Social Security Administration is “attempting to reduce phone wait times after customers complained of dropped calls, the website has repeatedly crashed and thousands of workers left the agency under the cost-cutting U.S. DOGE Service”

Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, KC has been awarded $3.5M to clean up brownfield sites across the city, helping to boost economic development & spur more investment in our communities.
Proud to have helped bring this funding back to #MO05

The president promised that he would lower costs for hardworking families.
Instead, his tariff taxes are increasing prices on everything from housing to household electronics.
It’s going to hurt American families and small businesses across the country.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created after the Financial Crisis to hold Wall Street and giant corporations accountable when ripping off American consumers.
By gutting the agency, Republicans are making it easier for these practices to resume.

“Low-income children and families would be among the groups hit hardest”
“While the bill would be a boon to wealthy Americans, it would scale back resources for the nation’s poorest households”
Taking from poor children to feed the greed of the wealthy.

As seniors face longer wait times at the Social Security Administration and veterans struggle to receive timely care at the VA due to previous firings, this decision from the Supreme Court will enable the president to continue taking a wrecking ball to vital services.
The damage will be disastrous.
After signing legislation that will rip healthcare away from 17 million Americans and food assistance away from millions more, the president is back to implementing tariff taxes—which will raise costs on AMERICAN consumers and small businesses.
As Republicans pass legislation to gut Pell grants that help working class students pursue their dreams—all to fund more tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires—the Trump administration is illegally withholding funding for our public schools.

In 2025, solar and wind are an integral part of America’s energy system.
By doing the bidding of Big Oil and slashing investments in clean energy in the Big Ugly Bill, Republicans are guaranteeing higher energy costs for families and more blackouts in communities nationwide.
After the shortsighted decision to halt support for Ukrainian freedom fighters, I’m pleased the president has reversed course and will continue to provide aid to Ukraine.
We must continue to support our democratic friends against Putin’s despicable invasion.
www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Americans across the country are already struggling with our national housing affordability crisis—and President Trump’s tariff taxes are only making matters worse.
It’s time to get rid of the tariffs so we can lower costs for hardworking families!

As Republicans in Congress rip healthcare away from millions of Americans and put rural hospitals at risk of closure, the Trump administration is sowing mistrust in vaccines and dismantling public health infrastructure, reviving diseases like measles.
It’s a recipe for disaster.
The National Weather Service plays a vital role in forecasting natural disasters and providing early warning to local communities about impending catastrophes.
That’s why lawmakers in congress fought so hard to prevent unnecessary and harmful cuts to the agency.

Stealing from the poor to give more handouts to the wealthy.
That’s exactly what Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill will do, ensuring the largest transfer of wealth from working class families to the wealthy in history.
Last week, Republicans passed their Big Ugly Bill to rip healthcare away from 17 million Americans, usher in the closure of more rural hospitals, and gut food assistance programs for working class families.
All to fund more tax breaks for the wealthiest 1%.
It's a travesty.
