Innocent civilians are facing a humanitarian crisis in Gaza—and it’s imperative that the United States ensure desperately needed aid is getting to those in need. That’s why I joined @jayapal.house.gov and 90+ Democrats in calling on the administration to do more.
NEW: With @raskin.house.gov, @keating.house.gov, @foushee.house.gov, and @balint.house.gov, I’m leading 92 members in urging the administration to ensure the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza. Innocent civilian lives can be saved. jayapal.house.gov/2025/06/04/j...
At a time when Americans are already struggling with the housing affordability crisis, the Trump Administration is working to rip rental assistance away from vulnerable families. It’s a dangerous step that will lead to more homelessness nationwide. www.npr.org/2025/06/04/n...
On World Environment Day, we are reminded of our duty to be good stewards of our planet, responsible for protecting God’s green Earth for generations to come. Every sustainable action that we take today ensures that our natural wonders will be available for our progeny to enjoy.
“I’m terrified that further red tape throughout the system will disrupt my daughter’s care and put her health in jeopardy” This is the point of the GOP's Big Ugly Bill—to rip healthcare away from families by tripping them up through added bureaucracy. www.kcur.org/health/2025-...
16 million Americans lose healthcare. Millions more are kicked off nutrition programs. $2.4 trillion in additional debt for our kids and grandkids. All so Donald Trump and Republican billionaires can get another massive tax cut. The worst con ever committed on the American people.
New CBO numbers out on the Big Beautiful Bill and it creates $2.4 trillion in deficits over a decade. www.cbo.gov/publication/...
The GOP's Big Ugly Bill will rip healthcare away from 16 million Americans, slash food assistance programs that support families, and remove school lunch programs that benefit kids nationwide. And it will still add trillions to the deficit because of the massive tax cut they’re giving to the top 1%
President Trump’s signature bill could add $2.4 trillion to the national debt, a nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said in an analysis that heightens concerns about excessive government borrowing. nyti.ms/3FFVvIM
A headline reads: "$2.4 trillion." More text reads: "The amount that would be added to the U.S.'s federal debt as a result of the broad Republican policy bill passed by the House, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office."
President Trump said he would drain the swamp and fight for working class families. Instead, he’s working to rip healthcare away from 16 million Americans and take food off the table of millions more—all while giving handouts to his billionaire donors.
Chicken processor Pilgrim’s Pride, cryptocurrency company Ripple and other big contributors to President Trump’s inauguration have benefited from favorable government actions in his new administration
Secretary Hegseth and President Trump tried to erase the legacy of Jackie Robinson and his service to the nation—and now they’re working to erase the legacy of Harvey Milk, a trailblazer who also served in uniform. This politicization of the military must end. abcnews.go.com/Politics/heg...
Ripping healthcare away from millions of working class families through cuts to Medicaid isn’t enough. Now, the Trump Administration is trying to rip essential reproductive care away from women nationwide, threatening the lives of expecting mothers in every community.
The Trump administration rescinded Biden-era guidance telling health providers who perform abortions in emergency cases that they're protected under federal law.
“As declining federal aid and uncertainty surrounding tariffs stifle donations of excess food from manufacturers, hunger relief groups are struggling to keep up. Now they are bracing for proposed federal cuts to [SNAP], which would drive even more people to food pantries and meal sites."
Demand for free food is soaring across Kansas City, as job cuts increase, food inflation remains persistently high and federal food assistance is slashed by the Trump administration. buff.ly/9rqfTdz
I have always supported LIHEAP for the more than 130,000 Missouri households who participate in the program, saving these families an average of $1,500 per year. And I will continue to fight for the preservation of this program. cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
LIHEAP is an essential program that helps millions of working class families lower their energy costs so they can keep the heat on in the dead of winter and A/C blowing in the dog days of summer. Shameful to see the president fighting to kill the program. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
The latest GOP Tax Scam hands huge tax breaks to billionaires while slashing health care and basic needs programs for working class people. And Republicans in Congress couldn’t care less about the horrific impact it will have on the health of their constituents.
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) flippantly dismissed voters’ concerns in recent days that people could die if Republicans cut Medicaid as they’ve promised to do in President Trump’s sprawling immigration and tax package. “Well, we all are going to die,” Ernst said. wapo.st/4mGpili
Congressional Republicans are cutting taxes for billionaires while eliminating tax credits that lower healthcare costs for working class families. Millions of Americans will lose health coverage because of these cruel policy decisions. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
Happy #Pride! As a proud Member of @equality.house.gov, I'm working every day in Congress toward a more equal future and fighting to defend the LGBTQI+ community from attacks on their freedom and civil rights.
