Last night, Republicans stopped the House from voting to rein in the president’s disastrous war in Iran because they knew they’d lose. Americans are against this reckless war that is blowing billions of taxpayer dollars that would be better served helping families here at home. We won't back down.
House Republicans delay a vote on a war powers resolution that would restrict President Trump’s ability to continue U.S. military operations in Iran after it became clear that the legislation would pass.
Thanks to the administration’s tariff taxes and disastrous war in the Middle East, Memorial Day barbecues are going to be more expensive this year. Hardworking families were promised lower costs—but they’re paying the price for failed policies in Washington. www.scrippsnews.com/politics/eco...
The American people are sick and tired of the partisan bickering. They want lawmakers to work together and provide solutions that will make their lives better and more affordable. That's what I came to Congress to do and what I focus on every day.
Rather than ending federal investments into essential studies and clinical trials that could provide the pathway to better treatments and an eventual cure, we should be boosting support for pediatric cancer research. More information here: cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
Brain cancer is the deadliest form of cancer among American children—which is why the U.S. should be increasing investments in pediatric brain cancer research. But the administration has halted funding altogether. @davids.house.gov and I are demanding to know why.
As a sponsor of the bipartisan housing package, I’m thankful that lawmakers overwhelmingly approved our legislation to expand the development of affordable housing and lower costs for families. The American people deserve relief—and I’m fighting to deliver. www.notus.org/congress/hou...
Today, the House took a major step toward addressing America’s housing affordability crisis. I'm proud to have helped author this bipartisan housing package, which includes numerous bills I've sponsored. I'll continue working to deliver relief to families. cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
Democracy demands compromise—and there is nothing America cannot accomplish when we work together. Today, the House is on the precipice of passing the most comprehensive housing bill in decades. Let’s pass the bill and lower housing costs for the people! www.americanbanker.com/news/house-w...
I had the honor of working with Barney Frank on the @ushousefsc.bsky.social for many years. He was a good man, a trailblazer, and a tenacious defender of American families. My prayers are with his loved ones during this difficult time. May his memory be a blessing.
BREAKING: Barney Frank, one of the first openly gay members of Congress who championed Wall Street reform, dies at 86.
American families should feel safe in knowing their drinking water is not contaminated with harmful chemicals. Shamefully, the administration is repealing guardrails that keep our drinking water clean and safe.
Breaking news: The EPA proposed repealing limits on four types of “forever chemicals” in drinking water. The proposal would end the Biden-era restrictions on four PFAS compounds and give utilities more time to comply with limits on two others.
“Kansas City is a major city that’s on the move and I think we’re moving as much as any city in the nation.” I was proud to help secure $13 million in federal funding to make this project possible, which will connect Kansas City and boost economic development. www.kansascity.com/news/local/a...
No American should fear for their life in their place of worship. As we condemn this despicable, violent act of hate against the Islamic Center of San Diego, let us also pray for the victims and recommit to rooting out hate in all forms and against all people.
Three people were killed in a shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, authorities said. Two apparent suspects were also found dead in a car near the scene, and police said they are considering the attack a hate crime at this time. https://cnn.it/4nBNtlC
The president’s illegal tariffs, disastrous war in Iran, and Republicans’ billionaire-first policies are driving up costs at the fastest rate in years, forcing Americans to pay more for everything from groceries and gas to health care and housing. It’s no wonder the public is upset.
President Trump’s approval rating hit a second-term low as voters question his choice to attack Iran and economic fears rise, according to the latest New York Times/Siena poll.
While American families drown under the Republican cost-of-living crisis, the President of the United States is stealing $1.7 BILLION in taxpayer funding to create an unprecedented slush fund for his political allies. Every American should be outraged.
BREAKING: The Trump administration announces a $1.7 billion fund to compensate prosecuted allies after dropping a lawsuit against the IRS.
Today, seeing visitors and Kansas Citians connected from the Plaza to the river reminds us what’s possible when we invest in people and in our city’s future. Proud to celebrate this moment for Kansas City.
Today’s @kcstreetcar.org Riverfront extension grand opening is more than a transit milestone, it’s the realization of a vision for a more connected, accessible, and vibrant KC. I have always believed our riverfront could become a place where community, opportunity, and culture come together.
American consumers and small businesses are being crushed by skyrocketing costs driven by the president’s disastrous war in the Middle East. I will continue pushing to end this reckless conflict before more damage is done to local businesses and hardworking families.
The prices businesses are paying for goods has risen sharply, new data shows, suggesting the economic fallout from the Iran war is already spreading across the economy.
#HappyBDayHeadStart! Today, we celebrate 61 years of Head Start and the more than 40 million children and families it has served. Head Start represents the best of America, providing opportunity and support for the next generation of Americans. I’ll always support this essential program.
