Planned Parenthood provides important services like cancer screenings and prenatal support.
The Supreme Court’s decision to put partisanship over patients will guarantee that Americans are sicker and more will die unnecessarily.
It’s shameful.

Today, we celebrate #EqualityDay and the landmark SCOTUS decisions in Lawrence, Windsor, & Obergefell in the fight for LGBTQI+ equality.
I'm proud to be working with @equality.house.gov in upholding the promise of these rulings & our Constitution for LGBTQI+ Americans.
My bill with @repshontelbrown.bsky.social would expand library resources in correctional facilities nationwide to advance reintegration efforts, reduce recidivism, and increase educational opportunities for incarcerated citizens.
More here:

Prison libraries play a critical role in growing the skills of incarcerated individuals and reducing recidivism, ensuring safer communities and fewer tax dollars spent on mass incarceration.
That’s why I introduced the Prison Libraries Act.

Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill is the most fiscally irresponsible legislation in generations.
It would rip healthcare away from 16 million Americans, make the largest cut to SNAP in history, and add trillions to the national debt—all to fund more tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires.
Our local firefighters sacrifice so much to keep our communities safe.
Today, I had the opportunity to meet with the IAFF and the loved ones of those who made the ultimate sacrifice to discuss ways in which we can invest in and better protect these heroes.
Thank you for all that you do.
As the Trump administration does the bidding of giant corporations and Wall Street, American families are paying the price with higher fees and lost compensation.
That’s why Democrats are fighting to save the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau!

The only way to tackle this crisis is by working together—which is why I'm championing the Rural Housing Service Reform Act to cut through unnecessary red tape & strengthen federal rural housing programs.
Because everyone deserves an affordable place to call home!
cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
As Americans in every community continue to struggle with our national housing affordability crisis, I was grateful to speak with members of the Council for Affordable and Rural Housing (CARH) to discuss ways in which Congress can lower housing costs in Rural America.
I was proud to help pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to help #EndGunViolence.
In the three years since, we’ve closed the “boyfriend” loophole, expanded background checks, enhanced federal prosecutors’ abilities to target dangerous illegal gunrunners, and more.
The president’s dangerous, unconstitutional, and unilateral decision to strike Iran—which put American troops & civilians at risk, while wasting hundreds of millions of dollars—has apparently failed to destroy Iran’s nuclear program.
Diplomacy, like the JCPOA, is the best path to maintaining peace.
“Under Trump so far, it is taking at least double the time to process a claim than it did under Biden.”
The president’s assault on federal workers is leading to worse service and longer delays for seniors seeking assistance with Social Security.

“They’ll get over it”
No, 16 million Americans will not get over having their healthcare ripped away from them because of the callousness of congressional Republicans.
The Senate is making Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill even uglier for states like Missouri, ensuring our local hospitals lose much-needed funding and families are kicked off their healthcare.
I’ll keep fighting to prevent this disaster from becoming law.
Just last week I had the chance to visit Literacy KC, and I know for certain that these cuts would hit organizations doing the work to build community through literacy education hard, but the people who rely on them even harder.
I’m fighting back because literacy isn’t optional – it’s essential.
Literacy is freedom, opportunity, and power – and in #MO05 it’s under attack.
The Trump administration’s proposed skinny budget slashes funding for critical literacy programs that help adult learners build brighter futures for themselves and their families.
Our story is shaped by those who came before us and strengthened every day by the immigrants who continue to shape America’s future.
This #ImmigrantHeritageMonth and all the others, I’m honoring the contributions, culture, and courage of immigrant communities in #MO05 and across the nation.
“Bove stated that D.O.J. would need to consider telling the courts ‘f*** you’ and ignore any such order”
The Trump Administration's utter contempt for the rule of law puts the rights of all Americans at risk.
Congress must immediately investigate.
www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...
And while this despicable detainment was caught on camera, there are countless others that are occurring in communities across the country, ripping families apart and law-abiding immigrants from the only place they’ve ever known.
No one, let alone the father of three U.S. marines, should be beaten by law enforcement—but this is now a common occurrence under the Trump administration’s extreme mass deportation raids.
America must be better than this—and we’ll continue to push back to hold ICE accountable.
