it's the right thing to do. Let kids decide their preference when they are old enough. NOT through the children's book section of a public library! Basically force feeding sex preference on children.

P Robbins

Sexual preference isn't "decided." It simply is. Think about it, and try to see if you can change yours.

Deb Kizer Dyck

I don't know why they should be randomly placed, all other categories are separated, like fiction. Mystery, humor, travel, etc. They should especially be away from children's books.

Robert 'Lew' Lewandowski

The central issue concerns the exposure of minor children to explicit sexual material. One of these disputed books graphically illustrates oral sex involving minors. That is the very definition of child pornography. Movies have age restrictions, explicit books should have similar age designations.

P Robbins

Title and author, please. I call BS.

M Vigoren

It’s own section away from children books

Mickie Cleveland Kampstra

Yes, just like other categories of books are placed together.

People try to distinguish lgbtq people too much they get their own everything can yall stop amping their head and making them believe they can trample or people because they have the work and government on their side and they think they run everything

Inge Kriegler and Michael Ward

I don’t believe LGBTQ sexually explicit or any sexually explicit information should be given to young children any more than cigarettes. Wait till they are old enough to vote and let them make up their minds as to what they want to read

Lynn Huntley

Absolutely NOT. Everyone wants freedom of speech, as long as they agree about what is being said. Our kids are bullied enough without adding this to their plate.

P Robbins

Putting these materials in their "own" section is simply another way to discriminate against people who already face baseless discrimination.

Megan Basl-Huff

This should not be taught to children of any age until they are old enough and mature. As in have gone through puberty and know right from wrong etc.

James Waynauskas

Should just be in with other books

Dianne Price

We can't support censorship!!

Kimmy Wasatch

It makes no difference to me what a persons sexual preference is until, it is made an issue of and belief that the LGTBTQ community should have special privileges. Books should be on shelves but NOT have a special section and especially NOT for children.

Paige Farris

Libraries are for the general public and follow the Dewey decimal system. Very few of any specific topic gets its own section. AND libraries are the originators of First Amendment rights. I'm sorry there are so many parents in Crook County who are scared of homosexuality.

TB West

Segregating out and eventually banning certain books is traveling down a dangerous road - as Americans, we should be better than that.

This is a good start and the best that could be passed. Don't let perfect be the enemy of great.

Dennis Willems

Everyone should support the bill.

Eric Smith

They should support the president and the constituents who voted them in. That includes us who believe you work for what you get. No handouts!

Toasty

The cuts didn't go deep enough. Ex. Musk's criticisms about how the EV mandates would be cut (good thing), but no cuts to the auto industry subsidies (bad thing). The liberal/socialist media is already lying to folks how this bill is throwing grandma under the bus. Proof? Look at the 'No' comments.

It is a wealth transfer Bill: From the poorest Americans to the richest.

Anita Grace Ward

Please don’t do that! Trump promised no cuts to Medicaid but her we are just 5months into his term and he is doing that!

Laura Cochran

Help for the rich to get richer and it puts more average people in worse situations. Don't cut Medicaid or Social Security

David Keller

They are going to take Medicaid away from 16 million people and who knows what else. Josh Hawley has got to go if he votes yes.

T Boy

I do not like the tax cuts which would cause the reduction of Medicaid

John Harbaugh

Tax reductions for the super rich ... doesn't make sense when it cuts necessary programs and helps inflate our Country's debt

Porter Bingham

The only way they can make this look like it doesn’t completely destroy the deficit is by making certain tax cuts and spending increases “temporary.” I support the tax cuts, as long as they are met with subsequent spending cuts. The true burden of government is what it spends, not what it taxes.

Keith

We will vote every last Republican out of office. Stealing food and Healthcare from [anyone] to profit the rich is an act of war and shall be treated as such.

Max DeYoung

Fox News Poll: 6 in 10 are proud of US today – the most in more than a decade 7 in 10 voters think the United States is the best place to live The liberals are in PANIC mode LOL

Lorrie Tucker

It would increase the national debt by about 3 trillion dollars, and take away necessary infrastructure, all while lowering taxes on the wealthy.

Tracy Trapp

As a customer of the Affordable Care Act I find it appalling that the two senators from Missouri would even consider supporting this bill that will potentially triple my monthly premium and also cut benefits. They should be ashamed of themselves for bowing down to the President. Checks and balances

Stephanie Leavendusky

It will hurt many people in Missouri.

Brad Chance

He said he would support the people who elected him. It's simple

Chris Ketcherside

You are kidding, right? Missouri congressmen need to read their job descriptions and represent their constituents. Voting for this bill is a betrayal of the will of the people.

Paula Garrett

Millionaires and billionaires don't need a tax break as much some people need health care. Also, social security's fund needs fixed which would have been a better use for that $45 million he wasted on a parade. Trump has all his priorities wrong.

James Itczak

This is a rash and extreme bill and someone needs to speak up and slow this down, people are going to suffer for this,

Gary Carter

They were elected to represent their constituents, ALL CONSTITUENTS not just those whom they perceived voted for them. Don't let anyone hold their vote hostage.
