The Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans are cutting federal grants that support critical research into illnesses like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes to pay for tax cuts for billionaires like Elon Musk.
It’s shameful.

I’m grateful to @vanhollen.senate.gov for his leadership in the fight to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home.
This is not about partisanship or politics—it’s about adhering to constitutional protections of due process, following court orders, and defending the rule of law.
I was proud to secure $4 million in funding to support the new pedestrian mall project in the 18th & Vine Jazz District, which will attract more visitors & support local businesses in the area.
I’ll keep fighting for investments that support communities across KC!

That’s why I joined @repbeatty.bsky.social and @repbradsherman.bsky.social in calling on the Trump Administration to protect the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness and other federal homelessness resources.
The US Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) is critical in coordinating the federal response to homelessness.
The President’s assault on USICH and Housing First will only exacerbate America’s unacceptable homelessness crisis.

“Never before, legal analysts say, has the Alien Enemies Act been used with such little due process.”
The Trump Administration is eroding civil liberties at a rate not even seen during WWII, which was one of the darkest moments in American history.

Find more information on the bipartisan TRUST in Congress Act here:

This is exactly why we need to ban lawmakers from trading stocks.
I was proud to join @magaziner.house.gov in introducing the TRUST in Congress Act to do just that—and I’ll continue pushing to pass this commonsense legislation moving forward.
Greene Bought Market Dip Before Trump Paused Tariffs, Profiting From the Rally

In the last week, the president has:
-Ordered the DOJ to investigate a former staffer for refusing to lie to the public
-Refused to obey an order from the Supreme Court
-Called for sending AMERICAN CITIZENS to foreign gulags.
His authoritarian actions are a threat to all Americans’ rights.
More than 141,000 Missourians in #MO05 depend on Social Security.
As President Trump and Elon Musk work to enact cuts to this vital program, I’ll never relent in the fight to protect these hard-earned benefits for Missouri families.
When will Republicans stand up to defend the Constitution and the rule of law?
The President of the United States is openly threatening to send American citizens to foreign gulags.
As he defies the Supreme Court, undermines due process rights, and orders the DOJ to investigate political opponents, we are witnessing the sprint to autocracy right before our eyes.
Thankful that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe.
Political violence has absolutely no place in America—and it’s imperative that all public officials make that clear by condemning this despicable attempt to harm a sitting Governor.
Just as inflation was coming back to the Fed’s 2% target, President Trump’s reckless tariff taxes are threatening to reignite price increases on everyday goods that Missouri families depend on.
There is still time to turn back, but Republicans in Congress must step in and stand up to the President.
🚨NEW CAP analysis: Trump's latest tariffs will cost families $4,600 per year🚨
📈Berry, banana, coffee, and nut prices UP 10%
📈Playstation 2 UP $700+
📈iPhone prices will more than DOUBLE
This is not a pause. Trump is betraying the middle class. www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...
The law is clear: Special Government Employees are only allowed to work for 130 days before they must step down—which is why I joined @repcasar.bsky.social to demand the Admin remove Elon Musk by May 30.
It’s time for the Trump Admin to say goodbye & good riddance to this human wrecking ball.
American families want Congress to take action to lower the cost of housing, healthcare, and groceries.
Instead, Republicans are planning to decimate programs like Medicaid, SNAP and more to pay for another round of tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit the wealthy—while still exploding the deficit.
The unprecedented incompetence, chaos, and recklessness coming from the White House is doing unparalleled damage to the American economy.
Never before has a president so quickly destroyed the confidence of the American people and small businesses.
While I’m pleased the Supreme Court was unanimous in their ruling, Kilmar Abrego Garcia should never have been ripped away from his family and community in the first place.
The Trump Administration must right their egregious wrong and bring him home TODAY!
www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
The President is trying to normalize blatant corruption throughout government—and this may be the most brazen example yet.
While Americans are losing their hard-earned retirement savings, people are getting rich off the President’s tariff announcements.
The American people deserve answers.
