It’s hard to miss what’s going on here. A story gets pulled at the same time executives are seeking deals that need government sign-off. That’s not a coincidence.

This Christmas, our office was honored to adopt a local family through the 100 Neediest Cases program. Grateful to be able to show up for our neighbors and share a little joy this season.

Republicans in Congress have been opposing the expansion of affordable coverage since the beginning. Why should we believe they want a solution now?

The deadline to submit for our Inaugural Youth Council is only 1 month away! Any high school students that are passionate about engaging in real projects to support the St. Louis region are encouraged to apply. To submit an application, visit bell.house.gov/youthcouncil & fill out the form by 1/16.

Families are paying more for groceries, rent, energy, health care, and child care—as wages still fall behind. It’s past time for real answers and real solutions that put working families first.

I led my colleagues in demanding honest and specific answers from the Trump Administration on what they are doing about the cost-of-living crisis in America.

As I’m gathering my thoughts about the horrific attack at Brown University that took two lives, we learned of another hate-driven shooting. This time targeting the Jewish community in Sydney—

First and foremost, our prayers are with the victims, their families, and their loved ones. But we know prayer alone is not enough. We must take action and address the hate and senseless violence that continue to devastate communities here and around the world.

St. Louis families should never be left out in the cold. Protecting LIHEAP means protecting low-income families from dangerous winter conditions. That’s a responsibility we can’t ignore.

Remember the whole "I'll bring back manufacturing jobs and fix costs on day one?" Well, the facts are we have lost about 50,000 manufacturing jobs since January. Americans and folks in the St. Louis region are sick of waiting for policies that create jobs instead of destroying them.

Preserving biodiversity is about protecting our future. Proud to see the Missouri Botanical Garden leading the way in seed conservation and climate resilience here in St. Louis.

To the courageous firefighters who rushed into danger overnight to battle the warehouse blaze downtown—thank you. Your bravery and selflessness made all the difference. Praying for everyone’s safety and a full recovery of all affected.

New reporting shows what families in the St. Louis region already feel: these tariffs are nothing but a hidden tax on working people. Black Friday prices went up, not down—because the Trump administration chose billionaire tax breaks over affordability for everyone.

After months and months of delay by Trump and Speaker Johnson, we finally forced a vote to release the Epstein files—and I proudly voted YES (again) with the vast majority of my colleagues—

This is a real step toward justice for the survivors of these horrific, traumatic crimes. Now it’s on the Senate and the President to see this through, but that won’t stop House Democrats from continuing to push for full transparency and accountability.

I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican. Anyone involved in the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein must be held accountable. Let justice be done though the heavens fall.

Releasing the Epstein files not only brings justice to the victims of this horrific abuse, but also exonerates all who have been wrongly accused. Conspiracies must be put to rest—it’s time to put the facts on full display.

It's ain't just the walls in the East Wing coming down on a certain President... For the #Epsteinth time #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Grateful to join volunteers today for a drive-by pantry serving veterans and their families. We owe them more than words can ever say.

Some partial justice today: It only took 51 days for Mike Johnson to do his job—but we can finally celebrate that Rep. Adelita Grijlava is official!!

Hardworking families across America are feeling enough pain from the Republican-led government shutdown, but there is no legal reason that hunger should be added to its consequences.

Over $5 billion in SNAP funds for November are available right now—the Trump administration is simply refusing to release them. It’s not just deeply wrong but it’s also against the law.

House Democrats are fighting this tooth and nail. If you or someone you know needs food assistance, visit www.stlouis-mo.gov/live-work/co...

Most folks don’t realize how much their Representative’s office can assist them personally. By contacting my team, we can help resolve the “long-standing, time-consuming, and frustrating” issues you’ve had with the federal government—it’s our job, and we’re happy to do it—

TOMORROW is my virtual town hall! Register now: ushr.zoomgov.com/webinar/regi...

I am hosting a virtual town hall on Wednesday, October 29 at 6:00 PM CT to talk about two issues hitting Missouri families hard—the rising cost of healthcare and the ongoing Republican government shutdown. Space is limited, so sign up soon: ushr.zoomgov.com/webinar/regi...

We'll keep working to do everything possible to get help to those who need it!

Calling all student coders and creators in MO-01! The 2025 Congressional App Challenge is now open for middle & high school students in our District. To register now, visit congressionalappchallenge.us

Honored to join family, friends, and colleagues in remembering William Lacy Clay Sr. His legacy of service, courage, and unwavering advocacy for civil rights and working people continues to shape the St. Louis region. May we carry his work forward with the same conviction and love for community.

In Missouri and across the country, Republicans are rigging the maps to hold onto power and drown out our voices. They know that taking away your health care to give their billionaire friends another tax cut is unpopular—so they have to cheat—

For the Epstein-th time: RELEASE THE FILES!

For the Epstein-th time: RELEASE THE FILES!

I’m grateful and happy to see every remaining living hostage finally freed and reunited with their loved ones after over two years of unimaginable suffering. This moment offers a measure of healing and a reminder of our shared humanity — Israeli and Palestinian alike.

The release of the hostages represents a substantive step toward peace, but they must be followed by a lasting end to the violence and a renewed commitment to rebuilding Gaza and securing a future where both Israelis and Palestinians can live in safety and dignity.

The United States must continue to play an active role in supporting that path forward.

During my visit to a People’s Health Center, I spoke with families who rely on the WIC program for healthy meals. The Republican-led shutdown is jeopardizing essential nutrition support for mothers & kids across MO. Congress must act now to reopen the gov’t and ensure programs like WIC are funded.

The announcement of this ceasefire agreement is a welcome and long-overdue development. We must now begin the hard but necessary work toward a lasting and just peace between Israelis and Palestinians that begins with bringing the remaining hostages home and surging aid to those that need it.

Had a GREAT time at National Night Out! Thank you to all our residents and first responders for coming out all over the region!

I joined community leaders and residents in Wellston to celebrate the grand reopening of the Wellington Family Homes—a project that represents what progress looks like when we invest in safe, affordable housing for working families—

It’s Day 6 of the government shutdown, and Republicans in Congress still have no plan in place to evade health care costs skyrocketing at the end of this year. I’m staying in the fight with House Dems. In the meantime, please check my website for resources on the government shutdown: bell.house.gov

If you have some 'pen-t' up energy and want to help save our democracy -- get your 'pen' out and sign this Initiative Petition and learn how to collect signatures! Thanks Sen. Doug Beck and all the volunteers working to ensure all Missourians voices are heard!

Republicans control both Congress and the White House. If the government shuts down, it’s on their watch. Democrats are ready to work on funding the government—but we will not be idle and let health care premiums soar for hardworking Americans—

The claim that Tylenol causes autism has not been substantiated. This is what happens when a quack with no expertise is put in charge of our health.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk was an act of horrific political violence, and I condemn it without hesitation. My heart goes out to his wife, his children, and all who loved him. No family should ever endure this kind of tragedy—

What I can and will do is work to strengthen our democracy, protect all of our communities from violence, and ensure that every American is treated with respect—

That is the responsibility I owe my constituents, and it is the work I will continue to do.

A core goal of my office is to provide gold star constituent services. If you need help with a federal agency or any issue involving the federal government, we’ve got you covered. Please call my district office at (314) 955-9980 during regular business hours—

I introduced the Gateway Partnership Act to allow the National Park Service to work directly with the Gateway Arch Park Foundation to host private events in Park buildings. Proud to lead efforts like these that foster regional growth for St. Louis.
