$13 million for the president’s vanity project.
$1 billion for the president’s ballroom.
$29 billion on the president’s disastrous war in the Middle East.
Why is this taxpayer funding not going toward providing relief to hardworking American families?

The president’s disastrous war in the Middle East is driving up energy costs to the highest levels in years.
And American families and small businesses are paying the price.

Hardworking American families are being crushed under rising costs caused by the administration’s disastrous war in the Middle East.
The president’s response?
“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.”

At a time when farmers and families are being crushed by higher energy prices, allowing the sale of year-round E15 will strengthen farm economies and provide relief to Americans across the country.
Proud to have supported this legislation.

If he hadn’t made it clear with his disastrous policies that are crushing American families, the president says it plainly: he “doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation.”
“Not even a little bit.”
This money could have gone toward lowering costs for American families.
Instead, Republicans started another disastrous war in the Middle East that has taken the lives of 14 servicemembers, driven up gas and grocery prices, and cost taxpayers billions.
The president promised he would lower costs on Day One.
Instead, inflation is meaningfully higher than when he took office, as his reckless tariff taxes and disastrous war in the Middle East drive up prices on everything from gas to groceries to health care.
While Americans are struggling to stay afloat due to rising gas and grocery prices, Republicans in Congress want to spend $1 BILLION in taxpayer funding for the president’s vanity project.
Democrats won’t stand for it.
That money should go toward lowering costs for families.
Inflation is currently higher than when the president took office.
Gas prices are substantially higher than when the president took office.
Unemployment is higher than when the president took office.
The administration is completely out of touch with the struggles of working-class Americans.
“Hudson and her children have been swept up in a wave of new restrictions and bureaucratic hurdles that have begun to ripple across the country as a result of Trump’s marquee legislation”
“The law extends tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations while cutting $187 billion from [SNAP]"
Sinful.
To all the moms and mother figures in #MO05 and around the United States, thank you for your love and support.
Wishing everyone a very Happy Mother’s Day!
Federal courts continue to rule that the president’s tariffs are, in fact, illegal.
This is a victory for American small businesses and consumers that have been forced to pay higher prices due to these taxes.

Public safety starts with strong communities.
Yesterday, I was proud to present a $1,031,000 federal investment to The Mattie Rhodes Center to support community-based violence intervention and prevention efforts across #MO05.
By creating a permanent market with modern amenities and plenty of gathering space, the new Grandview Station will boost economic development and provide a place for neighbors to connect.
Proud to have secured $850,000 to help make it possible!

While Democrats fought successfully to lower monthly premiums for American families, Republicans have slashed investments in the ACA and Medicaid, driving up health care costs for millions of households.
The American people are pleading for Congress to enact bipartisan solutions that will address the cost-of-living crisis.
As the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Housing, I believe we should start with our bipartisan bill to increase affordable housing.

While the president may not mind skyrocketing gas prices, hardworking Missouri families are being crushed as they are forced to spend more every time they fill up the tank due to the disastrous war in the Middle East.
They deserve better.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month—and a reminder of the importance of affordable & accessible mental health care.
Know that you are never alone and help is always available with the 988 lifeline.
As your voice in Congress, I will always advocate for more mental health resources for Missourians.
Trickle-down economics continues to fail working-class families.
While CEO pay skyrockets, American workers are being left behind.
Rather than giving more tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans, Congress should #RaiseTheWage to ensure workers receive their fair share.
