Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a longstanding U.S. Congressman representing Missouri's 5th district, recently aired his concerns on multiple significant issues through a series of tweets on April 1, 2025.
In one tweet, Rep. Cleaver expressed a sense of historical resilience, stating, "Americans know how to defeat a tyrant. And because of the American people today, using the tactics of our forebears, we will ensure liberty lives on for generations to come."
On the same day, he criticized a new budget proposal by fellow lawmakers, pointing out the drastic cuts proposed in public welfare programs. Cleaver mentioned, "As Republicans work on their extreme, partisan budget bill, they’re threatening to cut more than $1 TRILLION from Medicaid and SNAP, ensuring hardworking Missouri families lose insurance and struggle to keep food on the table. It's sinful."
Also addressing local concerns, Cleaver criticized measures by two high-profile figures, commenting, "President Trump and Elon Musk’s reckless cuts to essential nutrition programs have led to local organizations like @HarvestersORG having truckloads of food cancelled, preventing Missouri families from keeping food on the table. This chaos must end."
