Our tax code should empower families to pursue the American dream and invest in the next generation. That’s why Republicans delivered tax relief for parents like Angelina Banks through the Working Families Tax Cuts, helping ease the financial cost of raising a family. https://t.co/ugQFN9BePA

Thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts, Missouri took home an extra $133 million more in ARC and PLC payments this past year. These payments insure our nation’s farmers from disasters, therefore securing our nation’s food supply. https://t.co/ZVCmPrqgmQ https://t.co/kUtnI6HwVN

Once again, the facts expose the fraud Democrats deny is happening — and have failed to stop. While Democrats turn a blind eye, Republicans are fighting to recover stolen taxpayer dollars and protect the programs Americans depend on. Cracking down on fraud protects vulnerable Americans and ALL Americans by restoring the integrity of taxpayer dollars.

And the Trump Administration does it again 👏🏻 This fraud crackdown is saving taxpayers nearly half a BILLION dollars and putting a STOP to these fraud schemes that are robbing Americans. The Ways and Means Committee will continue to work with the IRS and Department of Justice to root out bad actors who take advantage of our tax code.

This past week, the Ways and Means Committee traveled out to Tennessee to meet Americans where they’re at. Over a year since it was signed into law, the Working Families Tax Cuts is delivering tax certainty for producers, like Wade Thomson, to invest in their businesses and grow.

Happy Columbus Day! The people of MO-08 recognize Christopher Columbus’s extraordinary contributions to history, including the discovery of the new world and the American continent. Today we commemorate his legacy, and we are not ashamed of it. https://t.co/iAevLj29Lg

On National Farmer’s Day, we recognize the men and women whose dedication and hard work are the backbone of this country. I’ve always said I’ll put the American farmer up against anyone. When faced with adversity, there’s no group of people I’d rather bet on. Their grit, determination, and resilience are second to none. I’m proud to represent Missouri’s agricultural community and will always fight to ensure our farmers have the tools and resources they need to succeed. Thank you to all of our farmers for everything you do!

Missouri farmers are seeing real results from the One Big Beautiful Bill! Thanks to the strengthened farm safety net we delivered, Missouri farmers will receive $493 million in ARC/PLC payments for the 2025 crop year — $133 million MORE than they would have received without that transformative legislation. That’s real relief for the hardworking farmers who feed and fuel our nation.

On a day when we should come together to remember the innocent Jewish people who were brutally tortured, kidnapped, and murdered by Hamas terrorists, this is what the Left’s rising star has to say. This is gross and every Democrat should denounce it.

In the Working Families Tax Cuts, Republicans created Trump Accounts, which are a transformational investment for American families. This investment will set the next generation up for greater financial success and a brighter future. https://t.co/stXG5WBSXI

3 years ago today, Hamas terrorists invaded Israel, kidnapping, killing, and torturing thousands of innocent Jewish people. May we never forget the victims of this heinous violence and pray for a world eradicated of antisemitism.

Mike Miller, the owner of Patrick’s Restaurant & Bar, knows that investing in employees is one of the best investments a small business can make — more than 10% of his staff have been with him for over 20 years. Making the Small Business Tax Deduction permanent gives Main Street employers the certainty to keep investing in their workers, retain experienced employees, and grow their businesses.

Today, we’re in Memphis hearing directly from West Tennessee workers, families, and small businesses about how the Working Families Tax Cuts are delivering tax relief in their communities. The empty seats on the other side of the dais speak for themselves. Not one Democrat member joined us today. They continue to ignore the needs of these communities even after they voted against the tax relief these working families are benefiting from.

Today, the Ways and Means Committee is at the Orgill Innovation Center in Memphis, Tennessee to hear from working families and job creators, the same people who helped us craft the Working Families Tax Cuts. Over 1 year later, Americans are seeing the benefits of pro-growth, pro-worker tax policy, and today, we’ll hear their stories.

I applaud President Trump’s executive order today to provide immediate relief by deferring the excise tax for on-road use of dyed diesel until the end of the year. This is a much-needed step to lessen the burden that increased fuel prices have had on farmers, ranchers, and the entire agricultural community. This executive order is only a first step — it is crucial to provide lasting relief for the hardworking Americans who feed, fuel, and clothe our nation.

What a win for Mizzou! Coach Drinkwitz has built more than a winning football program in Columbia — he’s built a program that elevates our university and our entire state. Every time Mizzou takes the field on the national stage, they’re showing the country what Missouri is all about. Proud of this team, proud of Coach Drink, proud of my alma mater, and proud of the Show-Me State. MIZ!

In the Working Families Tax Cuts, President Trump and Republicans expanded educational opportunities for American families by creating the Education Freedom Tax Credit. This new credit will give working families access to more choices, more resources, and the freedom to choose the education that best fits their children's needs.

We just commemorated the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and now the liberal media are watering down what was clearly an attempted hijacking of a commercial aircraft by a radical terrorist. Disgusting. https://t.co/2OUqML7Azj

ST. LOUIS, Mo. – This week, the Department of War announced that Boeing has been awarded a $20 billion contract to develop the Navy’s Next-Generation F/A-XX Strike Fighter. Congressman Jason Smith (MO-08), Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, released the following statement applauding the award for Missouri workers and one of the state’s largest employers. Congressman Smith said, “The future of American airpower is being built right here in Missouri. Boeing is already building the Air Force’s F-47 in St. Louis, and now Missouri workers will be building the Navy’s new Strike Fighter too — cementing St. Louis as a global leader in aerospace. This contract means more jobs for Missourians, more business for the local suppliers that support Boeing, and a stronger national defense for the service members who depend on these aircraft. “An investment of this size doesn’t stay in one place. It ripples through every community it touches, and Missouri families will feel it for years to come. This is a huge win for the Show-Me State, and I will continue fighting every day to bring good-paying jobs and investment like this to Missouri.” Background:

Missouri farmers and ranchers work every day to feed and fuel our country, and we should be doing everything we can to help keep their input costs down. I applaud Governor Mike Kehoe for taking action to allow producers to use dyed diesel in qualifying farm-use vehicles on Missouri highways. This commonsense flexibility, along with increased weight limits for agricultural transportation, will provide immediate relief as producers work to get crops, livestock, feed, and other agricultural products where they need to go. Thank you, @GovMikeKehoe, for supporting Missouri Agriculture and the hardworking farm families across rural Missouri. https://t.co/6GgJ8p86Dv

The Working Families Tax Cuts are benefitting manufacturers across the country. Manufacturers, like Jeff Simek, now have more certainty and a permanent tax code that allows them to onshore jobs previously shipped overseas, grow their operations, and reinvest in their workers. https://t.co/Dz5o5cF9IS

I commend Senator @SteveDaines for introducing the Aligning Digital Assets with Principles of Taxation Act. This bill has much in common with the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act, which passed out of the Ways and Means Committee on a strong bipartisan vote. There is also clear momentum building to deliver tax certainty to digital asset owners and ensure America remains the crypto capital of the world.

The future of American airpower is being built in Missouri. Boeing has been awarded a $20 billion contract to develop the Navy’s next-generation F/A-XX fighter — another huge win for one of Missouri’s biggest job creators. With Boeing already building the Air Force’s F-47 in Missouri, the Show-Me State is now at the heart of America’s next generation of fighter aircraft — supporting good-paying jobs, strengthening our national defense, and cementing St. Louis as a global leader in aerospace. This is a HUGE win for Missouri, and I will continue fighting to bring good-paying jobs and investment like this to Missouri every day.

This is border security. By any means necessary, we must ensure we’re using every measure to stop the flow of deadly fentanyl and violence across our border and into our communities
