This is a Facebook post by Missouri state Rep. David Tyson Smith (D-Columbia). The Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO) he refers to is one of the members of Congress who got rocked late last month in one of those townhalls where people were angry about DOGE.

Here’s a link to a local news report about the Alford townhall in late February.

I reached about to Rep. Smith to find out more about what happened. I’ll update this post when I hear back from him. Based on what he says here, it would seem that Republican members of Congress aren’t satisfied with not holding townhalls. They’re insisting people keep their office phone numbers a secret.
