Incredibly saddened to hear about the horrific loss of life in the terrorist attack in India today.

Praying for a swift recovery for those injured, the families of those taken by this senseless violence, and the people of India.

Wasn't JD Vance in India? I mean, first the Pope, now India.

Congressman Jason Smith, I heard you were in the State today, but could not find the time to visit with the 150+ constituents who were hoping to meet with you at the Town Hall in Rolla that you were invited to attend. Maybe next time Jason.

Prayers for all involved & their families.

To me, safe means ensuring everyone gets due process. Make that happen and communities will be safer from a tyrannical government

And poorer and sicker and less educated… and on and on! So do tell me Mr Smith, exactly why did you decide to go to Washington?? Was it to find and orange bill to worship or maybe it was to get in with the in-crowd and possibly get rich! Do you remember the oath you took with your hand on that Bible, which BTW your fierce leader didn’t do, huh, do you remember? I would bet if you did it today your hand would sizzle!! Have a great day catching all those black, brown and golden people….just maybe you should add the orange ones in your great roundup!!

My preference would be Republicans defending the Constitution, protecting due process for all, and working for the common people instead of the wealthy. Please stand up for us , Jason, and truly represent us.

He wouldn’t be happy with your no-show in Rolla last night.

bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/25 Matthew Chapter 26 - 31-46 The Judgment of the Nations.* f “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, g and all the nations* will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. h For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.’ Then the righteous* will answer him and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?’ i And the king will say to them in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’ * j Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. k For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, a stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.’ * Then they will answer and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?’ He will answer them, ‘Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.’ l And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Hope you and your family have a blessed Easter.

Where’s Dumala?

We also remember that Jesus is love and that His followers are known by our love. He said to love our neighbors and "For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

Amen 🙏 🙏

The Ways and Means Committee is helping lead the charge to address the chronic disease epidemic.

Today, my colleagues Congressman Vern Buchanan, Rep. Jimmy Panetta, and I sent a letter to Acting Commissioner of the IRS, Gary Shapley, calling for an expansion of the list of services and treatments for chronic diseases covered under high-deductible health plans.

This sounds interesting. Can you tell me how this will help those with chronic diseases, especially those who cannot afford health care? Thank you.

people amaze me. Their comments has nothing to do with this article. Their hate will never make the USA a better place to live.

Put people in a role of responsibility that actually have a background in health....

I commend America First Policy Institute’s Farmers First Agenda that advances policies aimed to foster rural growth, rework trade agreements to benefit farmers, and cut burdensome red tape.

I trust their pick, my longtime friend, Christie Mullin, to chair the rural policy initiative and advocate for policies that best benefit farmers, like those in my district.

My observation is that anything with America First is designed to help the wealthy and not the common man. We live in a wonderful world and should be working to help all people. Our country should be known for its love of others, not the childish,"Me first."

Jason, Missouri farmers just lost 1/3 of their beef market because of China. One third.
