January 20, 2025, was a day like no other. President Donald Trump’s swearing in ceremony marked the end of President Joe Biden’s failed administration and the beginning of America's Golden Age. After laying out his plans to restore America’s greatness in his inaugural address, President Trump immediately got to work enacting his agenda. In fact, he broke the record for most executive orders signed on Inauguration Day. Whether it’s securing the border, unleashing U.S. energy, fixing the broken ec... READ MORE
For years, Washington Democrats have pushed an agenda focused on scoring points with the radical fringes of their party, completely disregarding the real-life impact of these policies and questioning the morals of Americans who oppose them. They claim that those who don’t support their radical trans agenda – whether it’s allowing biological males to share school locker rooms with girls or compete in female sports – are fueling discrimination. They say that Americans are anti-immigrant if they be... 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
Over Labor Day weekend, it was announced that 23-year-old Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin was among the six captives who were brutally murdered at the hands of Hamas. My heart goes out to the families who are mourning the loss of their loved one. And I pray for the safe return of the dozens of other innocent people who have been held hostage in brutal conditions by this barbaric terror group for nearly a year. Anyone with a sliver of decency would agree that Hamas is pure evil. But as we’v... READ MORE
As someone who strongly believes that the best government is that which is closest to the people, I’m incredibly frustrated by how much the federal government has grown since our nation was founded nearly 250 years ago. Whenever the Left is in control of Washington, they do everything they can to force their values on the rest of America – and the biggest tool they have is the Washington bureaucracy. Whether they’re trying to ban gas powered vehicles, dictating what you can or can’t do on your l... READ MORE
On July 1, the Supreme Court dealt a massive blow to the radical Left’s attempts to use the powers of the judiciary to target and take down former President Donald Trump. The court made clear that a president cannot be criminally prosecuted for actions they take while in office – something I’ve said all along. While the Supreme Court’s decision was a major win, weaponizing the federal government to take down political opponents is only one part of the Left’s multi-pronged strategy to get their p...

Ever since I was a kid, Independence Day has always been one of my favorite holidays. While grilling out and setting off fireworks is always a great time, the most important thing about July 4th is celebrating the birth of America – the greatest nation in the world. Nearly 250 years ago on July 4th, the colonies came together and adopted the Declaration of Independence – one of the most influential documents in world history. In it, the Founding Fathers wrote, “We hold these truths to be self-ev... READ MORE
Like so many Americans, I am completely fed up with the Left’s endless attacks on rural communities and our way of life. Whether they’re trying to ban gas-powered vehicles, legalize abortion on demand, or force people to take COVID vaccines, the Left views the federal government as a tool to transform Missouri into a blue state like California or New York. That’s especially true when it comes to the Second Amendment. During a recent speech pushing his anti-gun agenda, President Joe Biden said, “... READ MORE
The day the verdict was reached in New York v. Trump will go down as a dark day in our nation’s history. The former president was convicted and could be thrown in jail over charges that should have never been brought against him in the first place. This case was led by a left-wing prosecutor who ran for office promising to bring charges against Trump; it was overseen by a left-wing judge whose own daughter was helping Democrat politicians fundraise off the trial; and it was held in one of the mo...

Today, U.S. Representative Jason Smith (Mo.) released the following statement on the verdict in New York v. Trump: “As president, Donald Trump was targeted by the radical Left who were intent on taking him out by any means necessary. This case was brought against him by a left-wing prosecutor who ran for office promising to bring charges against President Trump; it was overseen by a left-wing judge whose own daughter was helping Democrat politicians fundraise off the trial; and it was held in on...
