Republicans in Congress aren’t focused on strengthening care for our veterans or lowering costs for hardworking families.
Instead, they just passed a bill to shower millionaires and billionaires with more tax cuts.

“The president’s whipsawing tariffs and cuts to agriculture grants and global food aid have left the state with swollen silos, shrinking markets and volatile prices for crops.”

My heart breaks for the victims, their families, and the communities devastated by the horrific floods in central Texas.
As first responders continue their heroic efforts to save lives, let us pray for the loved ones lost and all those affected by this tragedy.
Wishing a very happy Independence Day to Missourians across #MO05 and Americans nationwide!
Today, let us come together with family and friends to celebrate the freedoms and democracy we cherish—and commit to protecting them for generations to come.
Today, House Republicans passed the Big Ugly Bill—one of the most immoral, regressive, and fiscally irresponsible bills to pass through Congress in decades.
I voted against the moral monstrosity. Find my full statement here:

Rural hospitals across the heartland are already struggling to stay afloat—and Republicans are about to vote for the largest cut to Medicaid in history, which will only make matters worse.
It’s going to have devastating consequences for our neighbors.

Republicans claim to be rooting our waste and fraud—but in reality, they’re forcing hardworking Missourians to jump through unnecessary hoops and hurdles to maintain the healthcare they desperately need.
It’s shameful.

Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill is the most expensive bill in history, adding trillions to our national debt.
But rather than lowering healthcare or housing costs for families, it gives trillions in tax breaks to millionaires & billionaires, while ripping healthcare away from 17 million Americans.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has been speaking for over 4 hours as we continue the fight to #KillTheBill that would rip healthcare away from 17 million Americans, food assistance away from millions more, and add trillions to our national debt.
All to fund more tax breaks for billionaires.
President Trump’s tariff taxes, federal funding freeze, and general recklessness are already slowing our economy—and workers are paying the price for his chaos.
Just wait until Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill increases healthcare, energy, and grocery costs for hardworking families.
Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill is just another #GOPTaxScam.
It gives another massive handout to the wealthiest 1%, while taking healthcare, food assistance, and educational opportunities away from working class families.
#KillTheBill
Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill would rip healthcare away from 17 MILLION Americans, including 265,000 of our neighbors across Missouri.
All while adding trillions of dollars to our national debt—just to give more tax breaks to billionaires like Donald Trump.
#KillTheBill
Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill will:
-strip healthcare away from 17 million Americans
-take food assistance away from 5 million Americans
-eliminate school meal access for 18+ million kids
-send energy costs soaring
-add $3.3 trillion to the national debt
That's why I'm voting NO!
17 million Americans losing their healthcare. 50,000+ more preventable deaths every year. Children going hungry. Higher electric bills. $3+ trillion added to the debt. Making the rich richer while working people suffer.
That’s Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill.

Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill is the same trickle-down economics that has failed working class families for decades—only on steroids.
It robs from the poor to give another handout to the exorbitantly wealthy, while adding trillions to our national debt.
Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill is the largest wealth transfer from the poor to the wealthy in American history.
It rips healthcare and food assistance away from vulnerable families to fund more tax breaks that overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest in our communities.
A moral monstrosity.
Democrats cut child poverty nearly in half by expanding the Child Tax Credit.
Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill denies 22 million low-income kids the full benefits they deserve—while also robbing 18 million kids of their free school lunches.
www.nytimes.com/2025/06/05/u...
The House is the last line of defense to prevent Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill from becoming law, which would make the largest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in history to fund more tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.
I’m traveling to Washington to vote NO on this betrayal of working families.
