🚨Democracy scored a major victory in Missouri today.

Our Supreme Court blocked the Trump-backed gerrymandering efforts, ruling 7-0 that the power belongs where it always should: with the voters!

Over 305,000 Missourians demanded a say, and now they'll get one.

JUST IN: The Missouri Supreme Court on Thursday placed a referendum aimed at overturning the state’s new congressional lines on the Nov. 3 ballot.

It’s a decision that could guarantee Congressman Emanuel Cleaver’s reelection and foil a plan from President Donald Trump and Missouri Republicans to send another Republican to the U.S. House.

The Food Stamp Act was signed 62 years ago today, and right here in St. Louis, SNAP still helps thousands of families put food on the table.

I come from a union household. Unions helped build this country– yet, this administration is trying to tear them down.

Not on my watch.

As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I’m fighting for DOD employees to maintain the ability to collective bargain.

I will ALWAYS stand with my union brothers and sisters.

Renaming the USS Doris Miller after President Trump would be unprecedented and a direct attack on Black history.

Doris Miller was a brave servicemember who stepped outside the bounds of his own rank to save the lives of his fellow men during the attack on Pearl Harbor.

He deserves for his memory to be honored. I’m fighting to protect it.
