Housing and homeownership are the foundation upon which American families can climb the economic ladder and build generational wealth.
It’s about time that Congress took action to revive the American Dream of homeownership and expand access to affordable housing!

As hardworking families continue to struggle with America’s housing affordability crisis, I’m introducing the American Housing and Economic Mobility Act with @warren.senate.gov and @warnock.senate.gov to build 3 million new units and drive down costs.

The GOP walked away from bipartisan budget negotiations to push a partisan bill that cuts nearly $23 billion in veterans’ benefits, slashes funding for health care and affordable housing, and enables Elon Musk to continue gutting critical services that Missourians depend on.
“These are real human beings and they’re being pushed around like they’re checkers and inanimate objects. And I think that’s wrong.”
As federal workers in #MO05 face ongoing harassment from DOGE, I’ll keep fighting to protect these public servants.

“For somebody with a 3,500-square-foot home, two cars, $174,000-a-year job in Congress to talk about cutting money out of Medicaid is a sin”

A reprieve - but the economic uncertainty caused by these erratic and reckless trade policies has already harmed consumers.
We need stable, predictable trade strategies that foster growth, not policies that jeopardize our economic well-being.
Because it’s not about reducing bloat, it’s about letting the wealthiest cheat the system.
“The Trump administration claims gutting federal agencies will save money, but cutting the IRS means the government collects less taxes. " ‘If you’re interested in the deficit and curbing it, why would you cut back on the revenue side?’ "”

Deeply concerned by DHS's decision to end the collective bargaining agreement for thousands of TSA employees. These workers keep us safe every day – they deserve a voice on the job, not union-busting tactics. I stand in solidarity with TSA workers and their right to fair representation.
Housing is a basic need, not a privilege & we're working across the aisle to make it more accessible for all.

Proud to join Rep. Mike Lawler, Senators @coons.senate.gov, & Kevin Cramer to introduce the Choice in Affordable Housing act. This bipartisan bill expands access to rental assistance & helps more families find safe, stable, affordable housing.
Trump’s cruelty knows no bounds. He’s now planning to revoke legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled Putin’s war—just days after his embarrassing Oval Office meeting where he refused to commit to helping Ukraine. Turning our backs on our allies and refugees is disgraceful.
(Reuters) - Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation.

BREAKING: The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office just confirmed Republicans who say their budget doesn't cut Medicaid are lying.
Their budget *requires* the largest Medicaid cuts in American history - all while delivering a $4.5 TRILLION giveaway to billionaire donors.
Generations of Americans marched, fought, & even died for the right to vote. We can’t allow extremists to threaten their legacy & undermine our democracy.
I joined @housedemocrats.bsky.social to introduce the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act & protect the right to vote for ALL Americans!
Trump, Co-President Musk, & MAGA extremists are gutting the Social Security Admin., & even its own acting head is raising the alarm. Outsiders with no expertise are making devastating cuts that will lead to mistakes—hurting seniors, people with disabilities, and families who rely on SSA every day.
Undermining the workforce doesn’t promote efficiency—it hurts taxpayers.
With tax season in full swing, the IRS should be focused on helping Americans—not firing dedicated workers.
Proud to join @doggett.house.gov , @ross.house.gov, and 130+ of my colleagues in condemning these harmful cuts and demanding transparency on how the agency plans to mitigate the fallout.
Federal layoffs are here- and they’re just the beginning. These cuts don’t make government more efficient; they hurt workers, weaken services Americans rely on, and undermine a healthy economy.
This action doesn’t save taxpayers a dime, it only helps Vladimir Putin further his goal of destroying a free and democratic Ukraine.
Every day that the President does the bidding of a bloodthirsty dictator, he damages our reputation and relationships around the world.
