I’m pleased that the Quindaro Townsite National Historic Landmark Act received a hearing in the @NatResources committee this week.

I’ll keep working with @RepDerekSchmidt and @RepDavids to designate the Quindaro Townsite as a National Historic Landmark.

Too often, the trauma of sexual assault is made even more painful by delayed justice.

Proud to introduce the Backlog Justice Act with @RepAnnWagner to help address the national Sexual Assault Kit Backlog, bring justice to victims, and keep our communities safe.

At a time when Missouri families are already struggling to stay afloat, they should not have to bear the costs of data center development in the form of higher energy bills at the end of every month.

I voted for the Ratepayer Protection Act to ensure that burden doesn’t fall on families.

Despite America being $40 trillion in debt and running a nearly $2 trillion annual deficit, the president has promised to send every American, including the wealthy, a $5,000 check.

I had a few questions for the Treasury Secretary about the potential fiscal impact.

The American people are sick and tired of wasting billions of dollars on forever wars in the Middle East.

Last night, I voted once again to end the administration’s disastrous war with Iran.

$107 BILLION.

That’s how much Americans have been force to spend on gasoline and diesel due to Republicans’ disastrous war in the Middle East.

Hardworking families deserve so much better.

As the administration’s disastrous war in the Middle East drives up energy costs, Missouri farmers are paying the price.

It’s time to end the war and provide relief to those who keep food on American families’ tables.

[Rep. Emanuel Cleaver @repcleaver]

Millions of our fellow Americans, including 1.5 million children, have lost access to nutrition assistance thanks to Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill.

Meanwhile, grocery costs are skyrocketing due to the administration’s disastrous war in the Middle East.

American families deserve so much better.

[ABC News @ABC]

Nationwide, about 5 million Americans have lost access to SNAP benefits since the One Big Beautiful Bill became law, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, and SNAP funding could face a major shake-up at the end of September.

As diesel prices continue to skyrocket due to Republicans’ disastrous war in the Middle East, Missouri families and farmers are paying the price.

It’s time for Congress to put an end to this quagmire and provide relief to Americans here at home.

[Patrick De Haan @GasBuddyGuy]

GasBuddy today counts 35 states with diesel prices averaging over $6/gal- next up to join- AL, WV, TN, NE, MO, KY.

Even leaders in the AI industry have acknowledged the technology’s potential to do extraordinary damage to society if left unchecked.

Yesterday, I spoke with @Yamiche about the need for Congress to immediately take action.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!

Throughout the next month, as we celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Hispanic communities across #MO05 and our nation, let us also honor the generations whose hard work and leadership continue to strengthen our country.

[Rep. Emanuel Cleaver @repcleaver]

I was proud to join @USRepMikeFlood at the @USChamber’s Housing Summit this week to discuss the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, the benefits it will bring to communities nationwide, and what next steps are necessary to lower housing costs for hardworking families.

[U.S. Chamber @USChamber]

.@USRepMikeFlood, @FinancialCmte Housing & Insurance Subcommittee Chairman, and Ranking Member @repcleaver, reflected on the bipartisan passage of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.

“A lot of communities are excited about it but now we’re in that stage where we need to write the regulations. It’s really important that everybody engage with HUD,” said Rep. Flood.

As the administration continues to side with Russia in their war of aggression, reports reveal that a major Russian oligarch bankrolled the wedding of the president’s son.

Congress must investigate and demand answers.

[ProPublica @propublica]

Look at this photo we found from Donald Trump Jr.’s lavish Bahamas wedding.

Can you spot the Russian oligarch close to Putin who bankrolled the event? 🧵

[Rep. Emanuel Cleaver @repcleaver]

Energy prices continue to spiral out of control due to Republicans’ disastrous war in the Middle East.

American families deserve better.

[Patrick De Haan @GasBuddyGuy]

bad morning if you're a motorist- no signs of rising prices slowing soon- WTI crude up $3/bbl, wholesale gasoline prices up 10-13c/gal, with diesel up 10c/gal- these increases will hit retailers later tonight (subject to change), so we could see price cycling ramp up tmrw

[Rep. Emanuel Cleaver @repcleaver]

Republicans in Congress refuse to stand up to the president and put an end to the disastrous war in the Middle East.

And American families are paying the price in the form of higher costs on everything from gas to groceries.

[Bulwark Clips @BulwarkClips]

Welker: "Does the White House have a blank check to continue this war?"

Speaker Johnson: "No, and the war is not continuing."

Welker: "There are still 50,000 troops deployed to the region…President Trump continues to refer to this as a war."

We all know what day it is, #MO05.

It’s Red Monday!

Looking forward to tonight’s home opener and a big win to start the season.

Let’s go @Chiefs!

[Rep. Emanuel Cleaver @repcleaver]

To all those celebrating in #MO05 and around the world, I want to wish a very happy and sweet new year and a meaningful Rosh Hashanah.

May the year ahead be filled with peace, joy, and new beginnings.

[Rep. Emanuel Cleaver @repcleaver]

Today, we remember the thousands of Americans who were killed on September 11, 2001; we honor the survivors and families whose lives were forever changed; and we show gratitude to the first responders, servicemembers, and heroes who selflessly sacrificed so much to protect others.

#NeverForget

[Rep. Emanuel Cleaver @repcleaver]

As the price of everything from gas to groceries continues to climb, Republican policies are forcing hardworking families to fall further and further behind.

There are steps we can take to reverse this damage, but we must change course.

Americans are getting financially squeezed. Inflation has wiped out wage gains since April.

Wage growth in the past year: 3.1%
Inflation in the past year: 3.4%

Many American households have to belt tighten and make difficult choices on what to cut back on. This is why consumption appears to be slowing (and will likely cool more, especially for middle-class brands).
