Ever since I was a young kid, Thanksgiving is something I’ve always looked forward to. It’s a cherished time where we catch up with family, sit down for a delicious meal, and reflect on what we’re grateful for. It’s a tradition that has been celebrated by generation after generation of Americans. This great tradition was born over four hundred years ago, when Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe held a three-day, celebratory festival. Despite cultural differences and a language barrier, they were ab... READ MORE
WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Representative Jason Smith (Mo.) and members of the Missouri congressional delegation sent a letter to the Biden administration demanding answers regarding reports that local law enforcement have been instructed to release illegal immigrant gang members from Venezuela back into the community. In addition to Smith, the letter was signed by U.S. Representatives Sam Graves, Mark Alford, Eric Burlison, Blaine Luetkemeyer, and Ann Wagner and U.S. Senators Josh Hawley and Eric... READ MORE
Over the last four years, the world has become an increasingly dangerous place thanks to the lack of leadership and failed policies of the Biden administration. A war is raging in Europe for the first time since WWII. The evil Iranian regime and its terror proxies are launching unprecedented attacks against Israel, a beacon of freedom and our most important ally. And the Chinese Communist Party is doing everything it can to build up its military and spread its influence around the world. While t... READ MORE
It’s the dawn of a new era in America. After four long years of going from crisis to crisis, a major shakeup in Washington is coming in January. I am eager and ready to work side-by-side with President Donald Trump to get America back on the right track and undo all the damage the Biden-Harris administration inflicted on our great nation. Under Trump, America will be prosperous again. As Chairman of Congress’s tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, I’m excited to work hand-in-hand with him on one... READ MORE
When Republicans regained control of the House of Representatives in January 2023, we promised we would work around the clock to advance the policies needed to get our country back on track. We’ve reined in the out-of-control spending, passed pro-growth tax reform, advanced the toughest border legislation in decades, and fought back against the Left’s radical woke agenda. During the first two years of the Biden-Harris administration when Democrats had total control over Washington, they added $1... READ MORE
Like millions of Americans, I’m incredibly concerned with the direction our nation is heading. We have faced crisis after crisis ever since President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took office. Families are struggling to make ends meet in this painful economy. We have a border that’s in pure chaos. Families are rightly concerned with violent crime plaguing their communities. No matter how you look at it, the Biden-Harris administration has been an absolute disaster. Thanks to Biden a... READ MORE
As a person of faith, protecting the unborn is something I will never stop fighting for. Every single life has such profound purpose, value, and meaning. No matter the politics of the day, I will always be an advocate for the right to life. And I’m incredibly proud to have earned an A+ rating from Susan B. Anthony, and have a 100% rating from the National Right to Life scorecard. The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization was one of the most significant pro-life...

Over the last several months, Washington Democrats and the liberal media have gone into overdrive trying to mislead Americans into believing that the Biden-Harris administration’s economic agenda has been a success. It’s just one of many examples of how out of touch they are with real Americans – the farmers, workers, and small businesses who have struggled to get by month after month since President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took office. As Americans know full well, the Biden a... READ MORE
On October 1, the entire population of Israel was urged to immediately rush into bomb shelters to seek safety from the nearly 200 ballistic missiles launched by the evil Iranian regime. The massive ballistic missile strike came shortly after two terrorists carried out a shooting and stabbing attack that killed seven innocent people and injured eight others in Tel Aviv, Israel. One of the victims of the terror attack was a mother who was killed while shielding her nine-month-old child from gunfir... READ MORE
On September 22, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department Officer David Lee tragically passed away after he was struck by the car of an illegal immigrant who was intoxicated, driving without a license, and going way over the speed limit. Officer Lee was a father, husband, and a hero who dedicated his life to protecting the community. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones. What makes this tragedy more painful is that it never should have happened. The illegal immigrant who struck Officer... READ MORE
