Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, currently serving Missouri's 5th district in the U.S. Congress, has been vocal about several key issues on social media. On March 24, 2025, he shared his perspectives and actions regarding public services and political decisions affecting various communities.

On March 24, Rep. Cleaver highlighted the importance of the United States Postal Service (USPS) as a "vital public service" that facilitates essential functions such as delivering medication to seniors and enabling small businesses to ship products. He mentioned joining local postal workers in Kansas City alongside @NALC_National Branch 30 to oppose privatization efforts of the Post Office. "The USPS is a vital public service that ensures seniors get their medication, small businesses can ship their products, and so much more."

Later that day, Rep. Cleaver discussed his work in Washington during an appearance with @JohnHoltNews on @fox4kc.

"I joined @JohnHoltNews and @fox4kc this weekend to discuss my work in Washington and how Democrats are fighting back against the Trump Administration’s reckless cuts to essential services that support Missouri seniors, veterans, and hardworking families."

In another tweet from March 24, Rep. Cleaver expressed concern over layoffs at the Department of Veterans Affairs and a Pentagon purge affecting military diversity archives under Trump's policies. He assured that House Democrats are striving to safeguard veterans' jobs and benefits amid these challenges.“From layoffs at the Department of Veterans Affairs to a Pentagon purge of archives that documented diversity in the military, veterans have been acutely affected by Trump’s actions.”
