Joined July 2010
After signing the discharge petition to force a vote, I was proud to support @RepGolden’s legislation to restore bargaining rights to federal employees nationwide. Despite strong opposition, we will always stand up for American workers!
🚨Despite all the forces against us, the House has PASSED my bill to restore union rights to roughly 1 million federal employees!🚨 This is solidarity in action. I'm proud of the bipartisan coalition who passed this bill & I urge the Senate to join us in standing up for workers.

I will continue working with my @USHouseFSC colleagues and my partners across the aisle until we provide the relief that working-class families deserve. Because every American deserves a real chance at the American Dream.

From revamping the HOME program to revitalizing our federal rural housing programs, the legislation includes sweeping reforms and multiple bipartisan bills I have championed as the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Housing & Insurance.

This bipartisan, comprehensive housing package will streamline housing development and affordability by updating outdated programs, removing regulatory roadblocks, and increasing local control. It’s time that Congress took action to lower housing costs for American families.

“The tax guidance is the latest win for large corporations and would provide additional tax benefits to companies” Meanwhile, the administration is allowing ACA tax credits to expire, ensuring health care costs skyrocket for working-class families.

The president’s tariff taxes are the largest tax increase in decades. Instead of raising taxes on hardworking families and small businesses, Republicans should focus on extending ACA tax credits and providing relief to the American people.

Working-class Americans are already feeling a squeeze due to the president’s reckless tariff taxes. Now, the president has ended the most affordable student loan repayment plan in history, ensuring more pain for millions of our neighbors.

The president’s extreme and inhumane mass deportation agenda undermines the civil liberties of American citizens and endangers beloved members of our community. We all must continue to stand up, speak out, and demand accountability for these abuses of power.
MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

It is deeply disappointing that Congressional Republicans continue to block an extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits that help working-class families afford health care. Tens of millions of Americans, including 48,000 Missourians in #MO05, will see their premiums sky
BREAKING: The Senate rejected legislation to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits, as costs are set to rise for millions of Americans in 2026.

Senator Durbin is absolutely right: the power to declare war lies with Congress. The American people want the administration to focus on lowering costs for hardworking families—not instigating another regime change war to secure more oil reserves for Big Oil.
Durbin: "Any president before he engages in act of war has to have the authorization of the American people through Congress ... this president is preparing for an invasion of Venezuela. Simply said. And if the American people are in favor of that, I'd be surprised."

As our adversaries continue to provoke conflicts around the world, it’s imperative that Congress put partisanship aside and our national security first. While imperfect, I was proud to support the NDAA—which provides pay raises to our troops and essential investments in our

The president has no solutions to lower costs for American families—so he falls back on xenophobia and scapegoating immigrants. How does this help American families afford their groceries, housing, or health care? https://t.co/aNB0JtRmBz

At a nighttime event in Pennsylvania, President Donald Trump tried to emphasize his focus on combating inflation, although the issue couldn't quite command his full attention.

After starting a trade war that has devastated Missouri farmers, the president is giving a Band-Aid to American producers that won’t arrive until next year. Our farmers want open markets and a level playing field—not another handout that won’t address the crisis.
Soybean farmer: This is a Band-Aid on an open wound. I've been farming 21 years now, and this is by far the most serious economic situation that I've experienced. The American farmer is the best in the world. We simply need a level playing field and opportunity moving forward
