“These reductions don’t just affect people facing hunger — they also hurt the retailers, farmers, and businesses that supply fresh, local food”
President Trump and Elon Musk continue to wreak havoc on our local farmers, food banks, and families.

The Raise the Wage Act would increase the federal minimum wage to $17, ensuring the average working family in Missouri will have an extra $1,228 in their pockets to spend in our local economies.
I’ll keep fighting to #RaiseTheWage for American workers.
cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
While corporate CEOs and C-suite executives have watched their pay skyrocket, the workers who actually drive corporate profits have seen their wages stagnate.
It’s time for these Americans to receive the raise they have earned through their hard work.
That's why I support the Raise The Wage Act.

Today, House Republicans passed a budget resolution that opens the door to the largest cut to Medicaid in history while also ripping nutrition assistance away from working class families and exploding our deficit—all to provide another handout to the wealthiest Americans.
I voted against it.
House Republicans’ SAVE Act is yet another extreme voter suppression bill that raises barriers to the ballot box and will surely disenfranchise Americans who deserve to have their voice heard in our democracy, including women, military voters, minorities, & more.
My full statement here:
Our legislation would create a new program dedicated to helping working class families in Missouri and across the country afford reflective roofing products that will keep their homes cool, costs low, and extreme heat at bay.
I’ll keep fighting to deliver lower energy bills for #MO05.
As global temperatures continue to rise, it’s imperative that Congress provide families with innovative ways to beat the heat & lower energy costs.
I’m proud to introduce the Cool Roof Rebate Act with @foushee.house.gov & @repraulruizmd.bsky.social to do just that.

Today, House Republicans will vote on a budget resolution that opens the door to massive cuts to Medicaid & SNAP, another tax cut for the wealthy & well-connected, and the explosion of America’s deficit.
It’s more reckless economics from the GOP that will hurt middle-class families.
I’m voting no.
As President Trump allows Elon Musk to gut essential services at the Social Security Administration, Missourians will be hurt more than most by these backdoor cuts to Social Security.
I’ll keep fighting to protect the field offices in #MO05 for our seniors who have earned these benefits.
Breaking the law and violating longstanding privacy protections—which protect American citizens and legal residents—to investigate “suspected” undocumented immigrants is dangerous and un-American.
Congress and the courts cannot allow a lawless president to embark down this dark path.
🚨 NEWS: The IRS and DHS have signed an agreement to share confidential tax data for suspected undocumented immigrants.
Follows our reporting that this deal was imminent — and would cover **7 million** suspected undocumented folks.
More to come…

“USDA cuts hit small farms as Trump showers billions on big farms”
“This is a ticking bomb,” she said. “The clock is running out if we don’t really find a way to help make these small, medium-sized farms sustainable.”

Elon Musk’s backdoor cuts to Social Security are already hurting Americans who rely on these hard-earned benefits.
It’s not about rooting out waste and fraud—it’s about gutting federal programs to fund another tax cut for billionaires like him and President Trump.
As President Trump & Elon Musk gut federal programs that support local libraries, museums, and arts programs, I met with the Mid-America Arts Alliance to discuss the economic impact these cuts are having in Missouri.
We’ll keep fighting to protect the jobs & joy these programs bring to #MO05
President Trump and Congressional Republicans’ tariff taxes are the largest tax increase on middle class families in at least 50 years, costing the average American household nearly $4,000.
All while wiping out the hard-earned retirement savings of American seniors.

Find more information on my work to ensure families can keep the power on and energy costs down by protecting funding for LIHEAP here:
cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
LIHEAP is a vital program for millions of families nationwide, ensuring households in #MO05 and beyond can afford to keep the heat on in the dead of winter and keep cool in the dog days of summer.
I joined @repchrispappas.bsky.social in condemning President Trump & Elon Musk’s cuts to the program.
Democracy is strongest when we all participate, so make sure you get out and #Vote in today’s municipal elections, Missouri!

Billionaires like Donald Trump and Elon Musk will be able to weather the storm and recover from their self-inflicted economic crisis—but working class families will pay the price.
Republicans in Congress must push back against this madness before it’s too late.
www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...
Just a handful of Republicans in Congress can stop the economic catastrophe that President Trump has inflicted on the American people—but they must have the courage to stand up to the Mad King.
I hope they’ll find it before it’s too late for millions of American families.
