Federal employees shouldn’t be caught in political crossfire. They serve this nation every day, and they deserve to be paid, plain and simple. So to my Democratic colleagues: stop the stalling. Pass a clean CR. Open the government. Pay our workers. That’s not politics - that’s

Our work for the American people doesn’t stop just because Democrats want to play politics. Missouri was hit hard by storms this spring, and we’re deeply grateful for the support and leadership shown during this difficult time. Thank you, @POTUS and @GovMikeKehoe, for standing
Thank you, President Trump. Missourians across our state were hit hard by storms this spring. Appreciate this additional assistance headed to Southeast Missouri.

We’re tired of saying it - Congress has work to do. But that can’t happen if Democrats continue prioritizing their radical agenda over the American people. Let’s be clear: Republicans will not vote to fund healthcare for illegal immigrants. It’s reckless, it’s unfair, and it’s
Utterly shameful! The Democrats OPENLY ADMIT they are causing the shutdown—and using hardworking American families as their LEVERAGE.

Earlier this week I sent a letter requesting to have my pay withheld until this shutdown ends. If our essential and critical federal employees aren't being paid, neither should Congress, it's that simple. Democrats attempting to extort our government for $1.5 trillion in new

Pres Trump's order to hit suspected drug boats w/ missiles is controversial already. Now he says the US might hit drug trafficking targets in Venezuela w/ "land strikes". We asked @RepBobOnder about that on @NewstalkSTL. Listen👇 @johnphilosopher @ProducerJerome @BobOnderMO

More than a month ago, @HouseGOP passed a clean, nonpartisan CR to keep the government open. Every single House Democrat - except one - voted against it. Families and workers shouldn’t pay the price for ridiculous political games. No Member of Congress should collect a paycheck

During previous shutdowns, the ATF halted the processing of NFA applications (registering personal firearms), directly affecting responsible gun owners who follow the law. That’s why I joined @RepBenCline and several of my colleagues in sending a letter to @ATFHQ - Our message
Government shutdowns should not take away your Second Amendment rights. I was proud to lead a letter on Thursday with 29 of my colleagues urging the @ATFHQ to uphold 2A rights and process NFA applications during the ongoing government shutdown. https://t.co/Myfqaei4c5

Did you know @ICEgov closed out FY2025 with the lowest apprehension numbers since 1970? And to be clear - in this context, lower is good. According to @DHSgov, there were just 237,565 apprehensions at the southwest border - that’s an 87% drop from the average of the last four

Honored to lead my @RepublicanStudy colleagues in a letter officially sent this morning to @SecScottBessent, urging decisive action to remove sex-trait altering surgeries and drug therapies from the IRS list of qualified medical expenses. Taxpayer dollars should never be used to
