Remember the whole "I'll bring back manufacturing jobs and fix costs on day one?" Well, the facts are we have lost about 50,000 manufacturing jobs since January.

Americans and folks in the St. Louis region are sick of waiting for policies that create jobs instead of destroying them.

Preserving biodiversity is about protecting our future. Proud to see the Missouri Botanical Garden leading the way in seed conservation and climate resilience here in St. Louis.

2025 National Champions. Congrats to the WashU Bears on going back to back. Looking forward to number 3 next year.

Mohammad Ali Dadfar risked his life protecting U.S. troops in Afghanistan. He followed every rule to seek safety for his family, yet the Trump admin detained him without cause. A federal judge ruled his rights were violated. Our allies deserve dignity and due process, not punishment.

Waymo choosing St. Louis is a sign that our region is getting noticed on the national level. More investment equals more opportunity.

We’re ready for growth.

And I’ll keep fighting to make sure it benefits everyone in our community. Help cannot come fast enough.

A married couple in my district found out their monthly health-insurance bill will jump from $800 to $1,600 if enhanced ACA tax credits expire.

Small Business Saturday is all about investing in the neighbors, entrepreneurs, and storefronts that keep our communities strong. From corner bakeries to family-run repair shops, these businesses are the backbone of the St. Louis region—

New reporting shows what families in the St. Louis region already feel: these tariffs are nothing but a hidden tax on working people.

Black Friday prices went up, not down—because the Trump administration chose billionaire tax breaks over affordability for everyone.

To the courageous firefighters who rushed into danger overnight to battle the warehouse blaze downtown—thank you. Your bravery and selflessness made all the difference.

Praying for everyone’s safety and a full recovery of all affected.

This Thanksgiving, I’m reflecting on the resilience of the St. Louis region through the disruption, disaster, and distress we have experienced this year. It’s because of your strength that I am inspired to serve—I couldn’t be more grateful to represent our home in Congress—

St. Louis is under a Code Blue from tonight through Monday due to freezing temperatures and expected snow. The City has activated additional emergency shelter beds and transportation to make sure our unhoused neighbors can stay safe.

Horrified by today’s tragic shooting of two National Guardsmen near the White House. My thoughts are with their families, their fellow soldiers, and all who serve. We owe them a full investigation and accountability for whoever is responsible.

Just recently, we saw the scare that the Trump Administration brought when they threatened to not disperse emergency funds for food assistance. I didn’t grow up with much, so this issue hits home. No family should have to bear that stress—

People who face racial discrimination deserve their day in court. They shouldn’t be pushed into a private process that was designed to protect corporations—not workers.

In the St. Louis region, we’ve lived w/ the consequences of systems that keep people from speaking out & seeking fair treatment—

Proud to launch our Inaugural Youth Council!

We’re inviting high school students across the St. Louis region who care about their community and want to roll up their sleeves on real service and research projects—

I want to share a recent casework success that truly reflects why constituent services matter—
November 24, 2025 at 10:35 PM
Had a productive meeting with Postmaster General Steiner.

Folks in St. Louis deal with real postal issues, and I made sure those concerns were front and center. I appreciate the commitment to improving service, and I look forward to continuing this work together.

After months and months of delay by Trump and Speaker Johnson, we finally forced a vote to release the Epstein files—and I proudly voted YES (again) with the vast majority of my colleagues—
November 18, 2025 at 10:57 PM
I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican. Anyone involved in the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein must be held accountable.

Let justice be done though the heavens fall.
November 18, 2025 at 2:24 PM
Releasing the Epstein files not only brings justice to the victims of this horrific abuse, but also exonerates all who have been wrongly accused. Conspiracies must be put to rest—it’s time to put the facts on full display.

Honored to sit down with veterans to hear directly about the challenges they face accessing health care, housing, and the benefits they’ve earned.

Grateful to the federal & community partners who joined us as we work to strengthen coordination and ensure every veteran gets the support they deserve
