Trump is trying to use a backdoor to build his ballroom through Reconciliation. Just no!
Let’s make our voices loud and clear—NO to Donald Trump’s ballroom slush fund! And, if you’re home here in New Mexico, come out and see us on our southern District Tour!
AMAZING NEWS!!
Minnesota has JUST charged white supremacist Jake Lang with 2 FELONY HATE CRIMES (5+ years in prison) for knocking over this ice sculpture.
Trump can’t pardon him from these crimes.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
America’s teachers are the bedrock of our education system—and they deserve our appreciation for all they do to support our kids and strengthen our communities.
Proud to introduce a bipartisan resolution with @RepSamGraves, @RepWesleyBellMO, and @RepMarkAlford recognizing their important work.

CoreCivic, a for-profit company, is receiving $15 million from taxpayers every month to hold children and families in detention.
That's not just inhumane - it's immoral.
💥BREAKING💥 On back-to-back nights, hundreds of Missourians in St. Louis and St. Charles are demanding an end to President Trump’s authoritarian power grab!
This Cost of Living Week of Action, we’re calling it like it is.
This is the Trump-Republican business model: make the rich richer on the backs of working families. Prices are up and families are feeling the financial squeeze.
So much for lowering prices on Day One! Grocery bills are sky-high and Trump’s tariffs are only making it worse. Americans are hurting, 17 million people are about to lose their Medicaid and the GOP is handing out tax cuts to billionaires.
As communities struggle to build more housing & housing costs continue to rise for families, residents in rural Missouri are struggling to stay afloat.
That’s why @ZachNunn and I are introducing the bipartisan Rural Housing Service Reform Act to lower costs.
In an unprecedented authoritarian move, President Trump is working with MO lawmakers to redraw our districts, break up our communities, and silence our voices. Join us in KCMO, Columbia, Springfield, St. Charles, and St. Louis to get organized to fight back!
BREAKING: Hero pilot Captain Sully Sullenberger of "Miracle on the Hudson" fame slams Donald Trump's disastrous pick to lead the Federal Aviation Agency, stating that his "life's work could be undone" and "we all deserve better."
The usually stoic Sully really didn't hold back...
"Aviation Safety has been my life's work," he wrote on his Instagram and LinkedIn accounts. "After my emergency landing in the Hudson River and the Colgan Air crash the following month, I knew that I had an obligation to make it my mission to keep safe everyone who flies."
"But with the nomination of Bryan Bedford to be FAA Administrator, my life's work could be undone," he continued. "Mr. Bedford has already shown that he is willing to lie about his qualifications as a pilot, and he is not willing to uphold the critically important pilot experience requirements put in place in 2010 that have been so effective in ensuring the safety of the traveling public."
Sullenberger is an American hero who in 2009 managed to make an emergency landing in the Hudson River after the plane he was piloting struck a flock of birds. All 155 people on board survived.
"Let me be crystal clear: Mr. Bedford will not commit to the current 1500-hour pilot experience rule, which means that airline pilots would have far less experience, and would not be seasoned, literally, not having experienced flying in all the seasons of the year, the crosswinds of spring, the thunderstorms of summer, the frost and fog of fall and the ice and snow of winter," wrote Sullenberger. "The first time a pilot experiences real weather should not be with paying passengers onboard, unwitting and unwilling guinea pigs."
"And Bedford has indicated that he would reduce regulations and let the airlines regulate themselves more. That's insane. Manufacturers also?" he added.
Sullenberger wrote that Bedford's FAA nomination "puts the integrity of our aviation safety system at extreme risk."
While Sullenberger wrote his criticisms last month during the confirmation process, they have gone viral in recent days amidst growing concern that flying is becoming increasingly dangerous under Trump's FAA.
Bedford was confirmed as FAA administrator despite the objections of Democrats and Captain Sully. As usual, the only qualification for powerful positions inside the Trump administration is unquestioning loyalty to Trump himself. Competency matters for nothing to this president. All he cares about is obedience.
Please retweet and ❤️ to demand that Bedford be removed as FAA administrator!
Among the deletions in this year's Trump-era human rights report: women's rights.
Barely a mention for half of humanity. Both outrageous and pathetic.

Thanks you @habitatkc for providing beautiful, affordable homes in the region. I enjoyed the tour of the Lynkins neighborhood & learning more about your partnership with the community & neighbors. #MOLeg#MOSen
90 years since Democrats delivered Social Security to lift seniors out of poverty, it never failed — until Trump's DOGE closed offices and sabotaged services. Don't let Republicans undermine Social Security and turn your earned benefit into a gamble. #HandsOffOurSocialSecurity
