Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing Missouri’s 5th district, shared several posts on social media addressing pressing issues and legislative efforts. On February 13, 2025, Cleaver highlighted concerns over rising costs in essential sectors and introduced legislative measures aimed at bolstering civil rights.

In a tweet posted on February 13, 2025, Rep. Cleaver addressed economic concerns by stating: "The answer? Even higher costs on necessities like housing, food, and medicine." This statement reflects ongoing discussions about inflationary pressures impacting essential goods.

On the same day, Rep. Cleaver announced the re-introduction of a significant legislative measure with his tweet: "The Justice For All Act restores the full power of America’s civil rights laws and ensures the next generation of Americans can continue to move the nation toward a more perfect union." The tweet included a link for further reading on this legislative initiative.

Further elaborating on this legislative effort in another post from February 13, 2025, Cleaver emphasized collaborative efforts by stating: "With the Trump admin’s sweeping assaults on racial minorities, women, neighbors living with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ Americans, I am proud to join @RepRashida & @RepSummerLee to re-introduce the Justice For All Act." This highlights his partnership with other representatives in promoting civil rights legislation.
