Step 6 – Reigning in Prediction Markets
Members of Congress and top officials shouldn’t be betting on world events they might have insider knowledge about. That’s a loophole I’m working to close – fast. Stay tuned on that one.

Step 5 – We need to pass the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act and the DISCLOSE Act.
If you’re spending big money to influence elections – or judicial nominations – the public deserves to know who’s paying. These bills would mandate that.
Step 4 – We need real ethics rules for the Supreme Court. That’s why I support the High Court Gift Ban Act.
That means no luxury gifts. No secret donors. No shadow lobbying. Justices should follow the same ethical standards as everyone else.
Step 3 – We need to BAN stock trading in Congress.
If you make the laws, you shouldn’t be able to trade on inside information. It’s common-sense.
Step 2 – End Presidential Immunity.
No one is above the law – not even the president. With so much blatant corruption happening in the White House, I’m backing an amendment to END presidential immunity and ban self-pardons.
Step 1 – End Citizens United
In Congress, I support a constitutional amendment to STOP corporations and dark money from buying our elections.
Washington has a corruption problem — and it’s hurting working people.
Congress needs to act to advance an anti-corruption agenda that puts power back in the hands of the people. 🧵⬇️
Veterans should be able to trust that their personal data will be kept safe when they go to VA to receive health care or access their benefits. My Veteran DATA Act would set up guardrails to prevent third-party vendors that work with VA from selling or misusing vets information.
The Postmaster General’s new policy that letters will no longer be postmarked on the day they are mailed is a disaster. For my constituents, a delayed postmark could mean late fees on bills, utilities getting shut off, or mail-in ballots not being accepted. Postmaster Steiner must reverse it.
If the system feels rigged, that’s because it is.
I’m backing an Anti-Corruption Agenda to crack down on insider trading, dark money, and self-dealing in Washington. Let’s fix this.
Going forward, we must continue working to ensure greater accountability so that the people of Springfield and everyone in Illinois can have confidence that those sworn to protect them will be held to the highest standards of accountability.
Sonya Massey’s murder was an appalling and senseless act of violence — one that strikes at the very core of our humanity. While no sentence can undo the harm or fully account for the devastation her family endured, I hope today's sentencing brings her loved ones some measure of peace.
I was one of the first to sign onto articles of impeachment against Secretary Kristi Noem. Alex Pretti and Renee Good’s horrific deaths are the direct result of her dangerous policies and reckless leadership of DHS. She has to go before someone else is killed.
Bottenfield Elementary’s “Every Student Every Day” program is seriously impressive. I enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about how this initiative is helping to improve attendance and setting students up for success!
Since the Citizens United decision, money has flooded our politics at the expense of our democracy.
Today, I sat down with @endcitizensunited.bsky.social President Tiffany Muller to talk about how we put power back where it belongs: with the people.
I'm LIVE with the President of End Citizens United to discuss reforms we need to put in place NOW to combat dark money in politics, crack down on corruption, and strengthen our democracy.

I’m thrilled to announce $1.1 MILLION in federal funding for Glen Carbon to build a new water treatment facility! I was proud to secure these resources that will both benefit the local economy and ensure the residents of Glen Carbon have access to safe, clean drinking water.
Corruption is rampant in Washington – and that has to change.
Today, I’m unveiling an Anti-Corruption Agenda, demanding action in Congress to end Citizens United, ban insider trading and hold SCOTUS accountable. Here’s the plan.
Today, we honor the memory of the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution. We can never forget this history as we continue to fight antisemitism and hatred in all forms. #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay
I will be working closely with Alton Steel leadership, the USW, and our local community to stand with the hardworking men and women of this mill—making sure they have the resources, support, and certainty they deserve.
We will not leave these folks behind.
