This is next week’s legislative agenda. You can’t make this stuff up.

It’s hard to take Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans seriously when they continually insist on making Congress waste time on unserious legislation.

This week, I met with members of KC’s Housing Authority to discuss the need for long overdue investments in federal housing programs.
 
As they continue working to provide safe and affordable housing to Missouri families, I’ll keep fighting to boost federal support for their work

This #BlackMaternalHealthWeek , I’m proud to support Robin Kelly’s #CAREForMomsAct to ensure Black mothers receive the care they need and deserve.

We aren’t just breaking records when it comes to air & sea temperature—we’re smashing them.

Climate Change is real. It’s here. And it’s imperative that we ACT.

That’s why House Democrats & President Biden passed the largest climate action law in history with the Inflation Reduction Act.

The SEC’s climate disclosure rule is a landmark step that protects investors and workers saving for retirement by ensuring companies are transparent about climate-related risks.

Proud to stand with Rep. Sean Casten & Rep. Juan Vargas to defend the rule & it’s protections for consumers.

54 years ago, LBJ signed the #FairHousingAct into law to combat deeply rooted discrimination within America’s housing industry.

As we commemorate this landmark law, let us continue our work to ensure every American has a fair chance at the American dream.

The #ACP has been essential in the effort to close the digital divide and lower internet costs for families across the country—including more than 395,000 Missourians.

That’s why I’ve cosponsored Yvette D. Clarke’s bill to extend the program.

Let’s pass it For The People!

The American people overwhelmingly support strengthening background checks for firearms—which will keep weapons of war out of the hands of dangerous individuals and help keep our communities safe.

Thankful to have a President Biden that is willing to put #PeopleOverPolitics

Fruits and vegetables are an essential component to any healthy diet—which is why I’m happy to see Dept. of Agriculture provide WIC families with a permanent increase in assistance for fruits and vegetables.

Every community has the right to clean, safe drinking water.

Thanks to this latest action from President Biden, the U.S. EPA is implementing the first-ever nationwide, legally enforceable drinking water standards to ensure families are protected from PFAS.

MAGA Republicans are so desperate to criminalize abortion and rip away reproductive freedom that they are now reaching back to a Civil War-era law that was enacted before Arizona was a state and women could vote.

This is only possible because of Donald Trump & far-right judges.

“No matter how many times Republican elected officials try to block him, they shouldn’t be surprised that President Biden continues to go to bat for working- and middle-class families, and I’m proud to stand right there with him,” Cleaver said.

#PeopleOverPolitics

To all those celebrating Eid al-Fitr right here at home in #MO05 and all across the globe, Eid Mubarak!

May the upcoming year bring you and your loved ones many blessings.

I applaud President Biden for taking action to protect the health and safety of families from cancerous pollutants being released in chemical plants across the country.

This is a huge win and welcome news for our environment and the public health of our communities!

There are currently more than 395,000 Missourians who are saving money and getting access to high-speed internet thanks to President Biden’ Affordable Connectivity Program, including 60,000 in #MO05 .

That’s why I support legislation to extend the program.

It’s time the GOP did as well.

“The program is a major pillar of President Biden’s economic policy agenda, which is centered around strengthening American manufacturing.”

“Now, because of this announcement, these chips will be made in the United States.”

Landed back in D.C. just in time to catch the near total #eclipse !

Hoping all those back in #MO05 enjoyed the event as much as I did!

“Senate Republicans are poised to sink a $78 billion tax-cut package, gambling they’ll win the majority in November and can push then for bigger breaks for business.

“They also don’t want to hand President Biden an election-year victory”

The GOP keeps putting corporations over families.
