Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Missouri’s 5th district, has shared his views on several pressing issues through a series of tweets. These posts reflect his perspectives on topics ranging from national policy decisions to sports enthusiasm.

On January 24, 2025, Rep. Cleaver expressed concern over a decision made by former President Trump regarding the release of an individual involved in illicit drug distribution. He questioned the impact on victims' families and criticized the action as disrespectful and detrimental to the rule of law. "How many loved ones had their lives stolen after receiving illicit drugs from this underground, online marketplace? By setting this kingpin free, President Trump is disrespecting their memories and further eroding the rule of law. Shameful."

Later that day, Cleaver addressed ongoing political efforts related to reproductive rights across the United States. He highlighted what he perceives as a Republican initiative to limit access to reproductive care and emphasized the importance of defending women's rights and personal medical freedoms. "Pay attention, folks! The Republican crusade to criminalize critical reproductive care in every state across the country is only beginning. We cannot relent in the fight to defend women’s rights and every American’s freedom to make deeply personal family medical decisions."

In another tweet posted on January 24, 2025, Rep. Cleaver showed support for his favorite football team, expressing excitement about their upcoming participation in a major championship game. He embraced their reputation as "the most hated team" and looked forward to continued success for #ChiefsKingdom."Most hated team in the league? That’s the way we like it. Looking forward to our seventh straight AFC Championship—and another trophy for the trophy case. #ChiefsKingdom is ready to #RunItBack! Let’s go, @chiefs!"
