Congressman Cleaver Commits To Fight Against MAGA Cuts

This battle for KC's longstanding statesman is going to be a long haul and that will take him AT LEAST until midterms to find out if his words have resonated.

 In the meantime . . . We wanted to share this update from our former Mayor . . .

"It's been a busy few weeks in Congress. I'm back in Washington, D.C. this week to continue the fight against the Trump Administration's reckless cuts to everything from veterans' benefits to Social Security services, I wanted to take a moment to update you on the work I've been doing to stand up for Missouri families, workers, and communities.

"I want you to know that I voted no on the partisan CR, and I am opposed to the reckless plan that would force extreme cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that millions of Americans rely on - especially the 159,359 Missourians in MO-05 on Medicaid and the 87,000 Missourians in MO-05 who depend on SNAP . .

"I believe we need a budget that reflects our values: one that invests in families, strengthens healthcare, supports economic opportunity, and ensures every American has a fair shot and pays their fair share--not one that ends essential services for Missouri families to fund tax cuts for the exorbitantly wealthy. As Republicans continue working through their reconciliation proposal, I'll keep fighting against these extreme cuts and working toward a budget that puts people first."
