#WATCH: Subcommittee on Housing & Insurance RM @cleaver.house.gov at today's hearing: "The United States faces a severe housing shortage... I'm very interested in how we can work together to expand safe, decent, & affordable housing options that protect residents." | www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7lw...

Last night, Republicans took another step forward in their effort to rip healthcare away from nearly 14 million Americans to give another handout to billionaires like Elon Musk and Donald Trump. @housedemocrats.bsky.social will never stop fighting to block this ludicrous legislation.

Republicans just voted down an amendment to their budget that would have given tax relief to 99.999% of Americans—everyone except billionaires. They're fighting to protect a tiny number of billionaires—all while their budget rips health care away from almost 14 MILLION people.

Although President Trump backed down and paused some tariffs, America’s tariff rate is still higher than any time since WWII, and it’s important to understand how much his tariff taxes are costing hardworking families. That’s why I joined @raskin.house.gov to introduce the Truth in Tariffs Act.

The Trump Tariffs are hiking prices on groceries, cars and electronics. My and @schumer.senate.gov's Truth in Tariffs Act shows American families how much the Trump Tariffs are costing them. We have a right to know.

Kit Bond was a superb statesman, an exemplary public servant, and a dear friend to myself and Missourians across the Show Me State. I extend my deepest condolences to the Bond family as they grieve this colossal loss. My full statement here:

The GOP budget will rip healthcare away from nearly 14 million Americans & raise costs for millions more. It will take food assistance away from millions of kids, seniors, veterans, & people with disabilities. All to give another handout to billionaires like Elon Musk. thehill.com/policy/healt...

Thankful to all those who showed up to stand in solidarity with civil servants who provide essential services to our communities throughout #MO05. We’ll keep standing up and speaking out against the dangerous cuts coming from Elon Musk and the Trump administration. www.kctv5.com/2025/05/10/l...

‘A line in the sand’: Congressman Cleaver leads rally against Trump cuts

On a sunny Saturday afternoon, people came ready with signs and megaphones to support federal union leaders who argue they’ve been affected by Trump administration cuts.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMay 12(source)

In the United States, regardless of their political party and for obvious reasons, no president should be allowed to accept a $400 million gift from a foreign nation. This is brazen corruption—and Congress and the courts must not allow such blatant disregard for the rule of law to move forward.

The New York Times

Breaking News: President Trump plans to accept a luxury Boeing 747 from Qatar that he will use as Air Force One and will keep using after he leaves office. The plan — involving possibly the biggest foreign gift ever received by the U.S. government — raises substantial ethical issues.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMay 12(source)

The only winners in the Republican budget scheme are billionaire donors like Elon Musk who will receive huge new tax breaks. Everyday Americans will pay the price by having their healthcare ripped away, food taken off their table, and essential services gutted.

Republicans are going to try to take health care away from tens of millions of Americans to give tax breaks to the wealthy and corporate interests. In today’s Democratic Daily Download, Rep. Frank Pallone shares how Democrats are fighting back because Medicaid matters to the American people.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMay 12(source)

For months, Republicans have lied about their plans to cut nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid. As CBO makes clear: if the GOP moves forward with their budget proposal, nearly 14 MILLION Americans will be kicked off health insurance to pay for more tax cuts that benefit billionaires like Elon Musk.

Republicans' big tax bill could result in at least 13.7 million people losing their health insurance by 2034, according to analysis from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.

The American people will not stand by while the Trump administration and unelected, unaccountable billionaire Elon Musk undermine workers and democracy alike. This weekend, I stood with hundreds of Missourians in support of federal workers in #MO05 and around the country.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMay 9(source)

I was honored to join Harvesters and members of NALC for their Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive this morning, where we provided nutritious meals to Missouri families. I’ll always stand with local organizations as they continue their work to support the most vulnerable members of our community.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMay 9(source)

Every community across the country is facing a housing affordability crisis, including rural America. That’s why Rep. Waters and I are fighting to invest in federal housing programs that lower costs and combat housing instability in rural communities nationwide.

As Democrats have been warning, Republican cuts to Medicaid will rip healthcare away from millions of American families. Their budget scam will raise costs on working class families while leaving kids, parents, and seniors without the care they need. It’s shameful.

Grateful for the opportunity to sit down with representatives from Independence this week to discuss infrastructure improvements, economic development opportunities, and local projects across the city. Together, we’ll keep working to invest in Missouri families, workers, and small businesses!

Public Service Recognition Week is a time to recognize and give thanks to the civil servants who have devoted their lives to serving our communities. I hope you’ll join me in thanking our public service workers in #MO05 and around the country!

As climate change exacerbates extreme weather events—which are costing the nation billions every year & driving up insurance rates—Congress must take action to manage climate-risk. I spoke to a panel hosted by Moody's about the urgency of investing in mitigation & lowering insurance costs.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMay 7(source)

Families were already struggling to get by—and then President Trump enacted the largest tax hike on American consumers in decades through his tariff taxes. It’s time to end this disastrous experiment and focus on bipartisan investments that support working families!

Tariffs on Chinese goods are making it more expensive to raise children in the United States, driving up prices and threatening shortages of critical baby gear at a time when household budgets are already under strain.

While the GOP is working on the largest cuts to Medicaid & food assistance in history, @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting to protect these services for American families. I just signed this discharge petition—and I hope a handful of Republicans will join with us to protect Medicaid and SNAP!
