“Because millions of elderly and disabled customers the agency serves lack computers to authenticate their identity — and have limited mobility to access in-person help — the change will create hardships, a top agency official acknowledged”
The GOP is cutting vital services that Americans depend on

Abolishing a federal agency requires an act of Congress, period.
President Trump and his cabinet of MAGA billionaires are attempting to illegally steal federal funding that support students, teachers, and public schools nationwide to fund another tax cut for their billionaire friends.
It’s sinful.
As the Representative of #MO05, one of my highest priorities is bringing federal funding back home for local projects across Western Missouri.
Find some of the other projects I was able to secure nearly $40 million for here:

This public-private partnership will support the creation of cottage communities in #MO05, providing affordable single-family housing for low- and extremely-low income households as we work to end homelessness and strengthen neighborhoods across Kansas City.
After securing $750,000 to support ReStart Inc.'s efforts to expand affordable housing in #MO05, I was thrilled to join Executive Director Stephanie Boyer and staff from ReStart this morning for the official groundbreaking of their Thriving Neighborhoods Through Cottage Communities Project!
Prolonging this war will only lead to more death and destruction.
I urge the US government to bring the parties back to negotiations, Hamas to release all remaining hostages immediately, and the Netanyahu government to stop blocking humanitarian aid and commit to negotiations to end the war.
As Prime Minister Netanyahu runs into political headwinds at home, it appears he is reigniting this conflict to the detriment of Israel, innocent Palestinians and hostages, and the entire region.
President Trump and co-president Musk have recklessly shut down programs that increase access to nutritious school lunches for kids, support local farmers, and help keep food on the table for vulnerable families.
It benefits no one but the billionaires who will reap the windfall of the #GOPTaxScam
U.S. farmers are staring down steep losses through no fault of their own. The Administration is hell bent on cutting farm program funding and starting trade wars – and farmers are paying the price. www.nbcnews.com/politics/eco...
The “effort to shrink the federal labor force is impeding work at government sites across the country and spawning unintended consequences for services Americans rely on.”
Whether it's assistance with Social Security or obtaining benefits from the VA, these cuts are hurting our neighbors.
Raising costs on everyday goods and "liberating" Americans from their hard-earned pensions.
President Trump’s policies are already threatening to destabilize the economy, and more Trump tariff taxes will only make matters worse.
Just as Democrats stood up to protect the ACA in Trump’s first term, we must defend Medicaid for all those who rely on this vital program!
More information on my visit here:
cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
Research shows that access to Medicaid leads to better health outcomes.
For so many Americans, it’s the difference between accessing the care they need at an affordable price and facing life-threatening consequences or lifelong debt.

As President Trump and Republicans in Congress push the largest Medicaid cut in history, I visited a local dialysis center in #MO05 to meet with patients, doctors, and staff to highlight the devastating impact these cuts will have on our communities.
#SaveMedicaid
With the permission of President Trump and congressional Republicans, Elon Musk is gutting departments that play a critical role in our national security, including those who oversee our nuclear stockpile.
It’s beyond dangerous.

As the Trump Admin works to turn back the clock on civil rights, including fair housing laws, I joined Rep. Waters, @warren.senate.gov, and 100+ Democrats to demand an end to the illegal cuts being made at HUD that will exacerbate discrimination in housing.

Because President Trump and congressional Republicans are allowing the richest man in the world to recklessly gut school nutrition programs, more Missouri kids will go hungry and more Missouri farmers will struggle to sell their products.

Co-president Musk said last week that Social Security and the critical services provided by the Social Security Administration were on the chopping block, putting the benefits of America’s seniors at risk.
@housedemocrats.bsky.social will fight these cuts with everything we have.
“President Donald Trump’s whipsawing trade spat with America’s biggest trading partners has spurred high levels of uncertainty among consumers & businesses.
That skittishness has been evident across many consumer surveys and now shoppers seem to be adjusting their purchasing behavior accordingly.”
Wishing a very happy St. Patrick’s Day to everyone celebrating in #MO05!
Today, while we honor Irish American tradition, culture, and heritage, I hope all those observing have a chance to celebrate with family and friends.
Proud to stand with civil servants in #MO05 and across the Kansas City region this weekend.
Together, we will fight back against the illegal purge of hardworking federal employees who provide essential services to our neighbors and fellow Americans.
