It hasn’t gone unnoticed by me or my constituents.
As I said earlier this month, AmeriCorps plays a vital role in our communities—and it’s being gutted to fund more tax breaks for billionaires like Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

On Memorial Day, I was extraordinarily honored and humbled to pay tribute to the family of SPC Grant Yohnka, who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the freedoms and values we hold dear today.
On behalf of a grateful nation, we thank him for his service and sacrifice.
On Memorial Day we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives for our country.
May we all take the time to reflect on their selfless service, recognize their sacrifice, and give thanks for defending the freedoms we cherish today.
The Trump Administration’s un-American assault on the First Amendment, freedom of speech, and the rights of private institutions and businesses continues unabated.
Thankful the courts are pushing back against this blatantly unconstitutional action.
The Trump Administration cares so deeply about meritocracy and protecting Social Security that they hired a Social Security Administration Commissioner who had to google what the job entailed.
It would be laughable if it weren’t so damaging to seniors across the country.
“It’s kind of a fund-raiser. And he’ll always be good to his sponsors.”
Except the funds go into the president’s pocket.
They aren’t even trying to hide this blatant and deplorable pay-to-play scheme.

650,000 Missourians depend on food assistance programs to keep food on the table.
But Republicans in Congress are actively working to take food away from hungry children and families to fund more tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk.
It’s sinful.

President Trump’s tariff taxes are already causing economic pain in communities across #MO05, leading to higher prices for consumers and job losses for Missouri workers.
I’ll keep fighting to combat this chaos and recklessness coming from the White House.

Before the sun came up, Republicans voted to enact the largest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in American history to fund more tax cuts for billionaires like Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
It’s a moral monstrosity that will devastate working class families.

House Republicans just passed a bill that takes from the poor to give to the wealthy, while saddling our children and grandchildren with more unnecessary debt.
It’s the same trickle-down economics that has failed working class families for decades, only on steroids.
While you were sleeping, Republicans passed a fiscally irresponsible bill that guarantees a massive redistribution of wealth from the poorest families to the wealthiest 1%, while exploding our national deficit by more than $3 trillion.
I voted no.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky as they face this horrific and traumatic loss.
May they rest in peace and may their memories be a blessing.
The murder of two Israeli embassy staffers, including one American, outside the Capital Jewish Museum is horrifying, intolerable, and worthy of universal condemnation in the strongest possible terms.
Antisemitism must be given no quarter in America—and we all must stand up to hate in all forms.
Cancer is not a Democratic or Republican concern—it touches all Americans from every background.
Tragically, President Trump and Congressional Republicans are undermining cancer research for all to fund more tax breaks for their billionaire donors.

As President Trump’s tariffs raise costs on everyday goods, local food banks are already struggling to keep food on the shelves.
It won’t help that Republicans are trying to cut $300 billion from food assistance programs to pay for more tax cuts for billionaires.

“The actual impact would likely hit a far broader range of Americans, including some of the most vulnerable people the GOP has promised repeatedly to protect”
“They include children, people with disabilities and senior citizens.”

The Republican budget betrayal is very simple:
It takes from the poorest Americans to give another handout to the richest among us.
It’s morally reprehensible.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirms that the Republican budget betrayal takes from the poorest families across the country to line the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

My heart breaks over the passing of @connolly.house.gov—a close friend and a champion for hardworking families across Virginia.
My heartfelt condolences go out to the entire Connolly family as they grieve the loss of Gerry.
May he rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing.
“Their warnings have affirmed economists’ long and widely held belief that tariffs fall hardest on U.S. companies and consumers, not the allies & adversaries that Mr. Trump seeks to punish.”
President Trump’s tariff taxes are raising costs on consumers.
