Today I met with the Springfield Chamber of Commerce to discuss our shared priorities for Springfield and Sangamon County – including infrastructure upgrades, downtown revitalization, and education. Together, these improvements will enhance the safety and the wellbeing of folks across the city.

Today, I had the chance to speak on the House Floor to honor the life and legacy of Barbara Flynn Currie. As the first woman to serve as Illinois House Majority Leader, she was a true trailblazer.

FACT: The average household will spend about $740 more on gas this year because of Trump’s war with Iran. At a time when families are already stretched thin, this is a hit they can’t afford.

BIG NEWS 🚨 @repchrispappas.bsky.social and I just sent a letter with more than 100 of our colleagues to President Trump on his illegal executive order to restrict vote-by-mail. I urge the Admin to reverse course and protect access to vote-by-mail and the independence of the Postal Service.

ICYMI: The University of IL's Cancer Center has been named a Basic Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute – a major win for research and patients. Last year, I led the Illinois delegation, with our Senators, in a letter to NCI urging this designation. Incredibly proud to see it delivered.

I talked about what Congress can do to level the playing field for small businesses competing with Main Street, and Wlower healthcare costs, like extending the ACA tax credits, so they can better support their employees.

What a great morning with women entrepreneurs from across the country at this year’s BREW Leadership Forum!

Her unwavering commitment to putting people first is exactly the kind of leadership we need. She’ll be deeply missed, but her example will continue to guide us forward.

Barbara was a force, who paved the way for generations of women in Illinois politics. As the first woman to serve as Illinois House Majority Leader and the longest-serving woman in the General Assembly, she inspired me and countless others.

Barbara Flynn Currie, 'trailblazer who opened doors for generations of women' dies

The Illinois House majority leader for 20 years, Currie harkened back to a more civil time in politics.

If we don’t establish clear guardrails, prediction markets are a recipe for government corruption. I questioned the CFTC Chair about what regulations he’s going to put in place and spoke about my PREDICT Act – which would ban insider trading on prediction market platforms.

Last week, I stopped by the Empowerment Opportunity Center in Decatur and saw the incredible work they are doing for our neighbors. But with the President's budget gutting LIHEAP and community service block grants, centers like this one are under threat — right when our neighbors need them most.

Low income energy program could be slashed by Trump Administration

Home energy assistance, known as LIHEAP, to help low income households pay their power bills could be eliminated under a proposed fiscal 2027 budget being offered by the Trump Administration.

ICYMI: I joined Sirius XM to talk about the @newdems.bsky.social Affordability Agenda! This comprehensive, commonsense plan tackles the top costs crushing working families – from groceries and utility bills to health care and housing.

Today is #WorldParkinsonsDay, where we recognize the more than 1 million Americans living with Parkinson’s disease and their loved ones who provide vital support. In Congress, I am committed to passing the policies we need to advance Parkinson’s research and improve care.

ICYMI: I was excited to announce new federal funding to help nearly 20 local veterans get training for good-paying jobs in the trucking industry! It was great to work with Lincoln Land Community College and the Illinois Trucking Association to bring home these resources.

Over the past year, processing times for DACA recipients have skyrocketed – creating needless barriers and distress for folks just trying to keep living and working in the only home they’ve ever known. I’ve joined a letter demanding answers and action from DHS to address these unacceptable delays.

How can President Trump claim to be America First while using foreign steel to build his Golden Ballroom? It's an absolute slap in the face to American workers.
