Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Missouri’s 5th district, has expressed his concerns regarding recent political developments through a series of tweets on January 29, 2025.
In one tweet posted at 19:19 UTC, Cleaver criticized the President's housing policies by stating that “The president has conceivably created massive problems in the housing sector.” He argued that attempts to defund housing programs would have severe consequences for millions of Americans who depend on federal investments from HUD and affirmed his opposition to such measures.
Later that day, at 20:43 UTC, Cleaver addressed economic inequality and policy manipulation by wealthy individuals. He tweeted that "The American people are sick and tired of billionaires bending policies in ways that will further enrich themselves at the expense of workers and communities across the country." Cleaver accused President Trump of allowing these individuals to influence policy decisions without challenge.
In another brief tweet at 22:02 UTC, Cleaver highlighted an issue relevant to federal workers in Missouri’s 5th district by stating "Important for federal workers in #MO05!"
