Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Missouri's 5th district, has taken to social media to express his views on various pressing issues. His recent tweets highlight his legislative efforts and critique of current political dynamics.
On March 21, 2025, Rep. Cleaver acknowledged Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month by announcing a bipartisan legislative initiative with Rep. Cohen. He stated, "As we recognize Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, I’m proud to stand with my friend @RepCohen to introduce bipartisan legislation that would finally provide federal funding to research cerebral palsy, the most common life-long physical disability impacting Americans today."
Later that day, he criticized President Trump and Republican lawmakers for their economic policies. At 19:07 UTC, he tweeted about the potential consequences of these policies: "As President Trump and Republicans in Congress pursue their extreme, chaotic agenda—which includes gutting federal services and firing federal workers to fund tax cuts for billionaires—layoffs are on the rise, costs continue to go up, and the economy slowing."
In another tweet posted at 20:20 UTC on the same day, Rep. Cleaver addressed concerns about Social Security among seniors in Missouri's 5th district. He emphasized the impact of potential cuts on those without affluent family support: "Most seniors on Social Security in #MO05 don’t have a billionaire as an in-law. Missing out on a Social Security check would mean forgoing food, rent, or medications. But President Trump’s cabinet of MAGA billionaires think whoever complains about cuts to Social Security aren’t."
