While Missourians’ retirement portfolios continue to plummet, the president is focused on golf. Completely out of touch and deeply disrespectful to families that are hurting due to his incompetent economic policy.
The stock markets have lost more than $6 trillion in value since President Donald Trump’s decision to upend the global economic order and impose sweeping tariffs last week. But on Sunday, the president won. Trump said he took first in the Senior Club Championship at his golf club. wapo.st/42b7C7O
President Donald Trump and his son Eric Trump drive in a golf cart after arriving at the LIV Golf tournament at his Trump National Doral Golf Club in Doral, Florida, on Thursday. The text reads, “As the markets fell, Trump putted.” Photo by Joe Raedle for Getty Images.
In response to these reckless cuts to local museums and libraries across the country, I teamed up with Rep. Titus and 125 other @housedemocrats.bsky.social to call on the Administration to immediately reverse course and restore funding.
The National WWI Museum and Memorial is a local treasure that honors the service and sacrifice of the men & women who fought in the Great War. It’s deeply frustrating that President Trump is allowing Elon Musk to cut funding for this institution that serves our community. fox4kc.com/news/nationa...
Congress has the power to stop this madness from continuing—but we need Republicans to stand up to the Mad King. I hope they’ll put the needs and the lifesavings of their constituents over the president’s reckless economic policies.
Breaking News: The rout in stock markets continued, with the S&P 500 falling 2.5%, as worries about a global trade war deepened.
As America faces a fair and affordable housing and homelessness crisis, the Trump Admin is gutting federal resources like the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness. It’s nonsensical and will only exacerbate the crisis—which is why I’m leading dozens of House Democrats to denounce the cuts.
Just when growth was picking back up and a soft landing was in sight, the Trump Administration is driving the economy off a cliff. The President’s response to Americans concerned about higher prices: “couldn’t care less.” www.npr.org/2025/04/03/n...
When used inappropriately, as I believe the president is doing with across-the-board import taxes on our allies and adversaries alike, tariffs lead to higher prices, fewer jobs, slower economic growth, and more contentious relationships with nations around the world. My full statement here:
As Secretary Kennedy and President Trump continue their efforts to dismantle America’s public health infrastructure, I joined @repnikema.bsky.social and dozens of @housedemocrats.bsky.social in condemning the mass firing of federal researchers, doctors, and scientists at HHS.
Defunding Alzheimer’s research to pay for another round of tax cuts for billionaires like Elon Musk and Donald Trump is a heartbreaking decision that will have devastating impacts for families impacted by dementia. At what point will Republicans in Congress call out this madness?
Cuts made today by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) may undermine our nation’s response to the dementia public health crisis. Read our statement: bit.ly/43BtxHU.
Proud to stand with members of the Congressional Black Caucus as we highlight the devastating impact Republican cuts to Social Security will have on Black families nationwide. Together, we’ll keep fighting to protect these hard-earned benefits from being ripped away by Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
The federal government cannot allow under-regulated financial products to infiltrate critical housing programs, especially when they have already proven to be dangerous, speculative, and harmful to working families. Rep. Waters, @lynch.house.gov, and I are sounding the alarm.
NEW: Following reporting by ProPublica, three Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee have warned HUD against using crypto, which they said could be “dangerous, speculative, and harmful to working families.” By @jessecoburn.bsky.social
Incredibly proud of @booker.senate.gov for standing up and speaking out—in historic fashion—against the chaos, cruelty, and lawlessness emanating from the White House and the Trump Administration. Thank you for your leadership and making a little #GoodTrouble!
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:
