This is HUGE. We just reached the number of signatures we need to force a vote to extend the ACA tax credits for three years. With just 14 days until these subsidies expire, Speaker Johnson should bring our bill to the floor IMMEDIATELY.
The cost of life-saving prescription meds are way too high. One of the culprits? PBMs.
I’m proud to reintroduce the Pharmacists Fight Back Act – a bipartisan bill to rein in these predatory drug middlemen and lower prices for Americans.
Secretary Collins needs to take action to address VA’s failure to pay education benefits on time for more than 75,000 veterans and their families and stop hiding the truth from Congress. I joined @repmarktakano.bsky.social, @repchrispappas.bsky.social, and @blumenthal.senate.gov to demand answers.
Happy Hanukkah to everyone celebrating in IL–13 and around the world! May these eight nights be filled with peace, light, and joy.
The Trump administration just announced plans to eliminate 35,000 healthcare positions at the Veterans Health Administration – yet another betrayal of America’s heroes. VHA is already stretched thin, and these cuts will only worsen wait times and jeopardize the quality of care.
Last week, House Democrats successfully forced a vote to pass a bill overturning Trump’s ban on unions for federal employees.
When we stand together, we win.
As @newdems.bsky.social Vice Chair for Policy and a member of @democrats-veterans.house.gov, I’m excited to announce our new Agenda to Support Our Veterans! This framework will support our mission to ensure every veteran receives the care and benefits they’ve earned.
Everyone deserves to know that the air they breathe and the water they drink is safe.
I teamed up with @durbin.senate.gov and @duckworth.senate.gov to demand EPA do more active air and water quality monitoring so we can better protect the health of Metro East communities.
I just voted to pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act – a bipartisan bill to repeal a Trump executive order and restore union rights to a million federal workers.
We’re standing up against the President’s anti-worker agenda.
Today, I took to the House floor to honor the 48 million Americans who provide care to their loved ones – especially members of the “sandwich generation” who take care of both their aging parents and their own children.
To all of the family caregivers in Illinois and across the country: thank you.
Huge news for IL-13! We’re bringing home nearly $800,000 for fire departments across the district to pay for new training and equipment. I’m proud that my team helped work with local leaders to apply for this important funding!
President Trump’s farm aid package is LESS THAN HALF his bailout for Argentina. Illinois farmers – who are suffering because of the president’s trade war – deserve better than this.
The recent piece published by the @washingtonpost.com editorial board attacking VA unions doesn’t just get the facts wrong, it’s harmful to veterans and our VA workforce alike. Here’s our response:
I’m thrilled to announce more than $789,000 to support fire departments across Central and Southern Illinois! This federal funding will help ensure that our brave first responders have the equipment, training, and technology they need to stay safe on the job.
Restarting one of the blast furnaces at Granite City Works will put hundreds of steelworkers back to work. This win is a testament to the solidarity and hard work of United Steelworkers Local 1899 and District 7. I’m proud to be their partner in this fight. ✊
Less people with health insurance = a bigger strain on our rural health system and higher costs for everyone. This is the Republican health care crisis in action.
Energy costs are skyrocketing because of President Trump’s policies. Illinois working families are paying the price.
ICYMI: Last week, @newdems.bsky.social unveiled our Health Care Action Plan! Here are some highlights:
💸 Lower costs for working families
🏥 Close coverage gaps
💜 Protect women’s health
📰 Combat misinformation
I’m thrilled that my team helped one of my constituents recover $104,024 that the Social Security Administration owed her. If you need help with a federal agency I encourage you to reach out to my office to see how we can help!
