Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a U.S. Congressman representing Missouri’s 5th district since 2005, shared his views on various issues through a series of tweets posted on July 10, 2025. Born in Waxahachie, Texas in 1944 and currently residing in Kansas City, Cleaver has been vocal about matters affecting the American public.
On July 10, 2025, Rep. Cleaver highlighted issues with the Social Security Administration by stating that the agency is “attempting to reduce phone wait times after customers complained of dropped calls, the website has repeatedly crashed and thousands of workers left the agency under the cost-cutting U.S. DOGE Service.” The tweet can be accessed here.
Later that day, he criticized a budget reconciliation bill passed by Republicans, describing it as not just bad policy but "a full-blown attack on America’s working class." His statement is available here.
In another tweet from July 10, Cleaver expressed concern over cuts to food assistance programs made by Republicans. He noted that "with hardworking families already struggling to keep up with the cost of groceries," these cuts represent "the largest cut to food assistance programs in history," ultimately benefiting "the wealthiest 1%."
