If Republicans shut down the government, 2,000 military servicemembers in #IL13 will be forced to work without pay. President Trump and Republicans in Congress would rather make our military go without a paycheck than cut a deal to save Americans’ health care.
Republicans have a choice: fund the government and end their self-made healthcare crisis — or own the shutdown and soaring costs for working people.
Last week, my team hit the road to talk with community leaders about how we support them when they apply for state and federal grants! From sharing funding opportunities to writing letters of support, one of our top priorities is ensuring our communities can access the resources they need.
If Republicans allow the ACA tax credits to expire, the cost of coverage will soar for 17,000 people in IL-13.
I’m calling on my Republican colleagues to do right for our community.
The @newdems.bsky.social innovation agenda is about driving growth and embracing new tech in ways that benefit hardworking Americans. For our 10th New Dems on the Road Stop, we met top tech leaders to talk AI, workforce development, & infrastructure to support the 21st century innovation economy.
President Trump’s plan for our ag economy? Bail out Argentina while American farmers struggle to stay afloat.
Soy growers in Illinois and across the country need a Farm Bill and an end to the reckless tariffs that are costing them critical markets.
As Democrats, our federal funding asks are crystal clear: extend tax credits that keep ACA premiums low and reverse devastating cuts to Medicaid that could force hundreds of rural hospitals to close. We won’t rubber-stamp a deal that abandons working families while billionaires pocket tax breaks.
President Trump’s appointee for health secretary, RFK Jr., is an anti-vaccine science denier. Here’s why that’s so concerning:
No member of our military should ever have to fear military sexual trauma (MST) during their service. I’m proud to reintroduce a bipartisan resolution to recognize September 25 as MST Awareness Day and affirm my commitment to not only supporting survivors, but to preventing MST altogether.
Congressional Republicans are REFUSING to extend critical tax credits that make ACA coverage affordable for millions. When these credits expire, 4.2 million Americans will lose their health insurance and countless more will face skyrocketing premiums.
My team was honored to attend the grand opening of the National Science Foundation’s iBioFoundry at UIUC! This new facility will serve as a hub for scientists, industry experts, and policymakers to continue to innovate and conduct groundbreaking biomanufacturing research right here in #IL13.
America’s postal employees brave tough conditions every day, working through storms, snow, and the summer heat to make sure we get our mail. As members of the Congressional Postal Service Caucus, we’ve got their back in Washington, DC.
I was honored to speak on a panel at New York Climate Week about how clean energy investments lower energy bills AND reduce emissions – while creating good-paying union jobs along the way. It’s a win-win-win.
House Republicans have skipped town and President Trump is refusing to act. We need a funding deal that protects healthcare, keeps premiums low and delivers for the American people.
I’ve joined the Illinois delegation in demanding answers about DHS’s dangerous and reckless operations in our state. We refuse to stand by while masked agents trample on due process, indiscriminately arrest our neighbors, and threaten immigrant communities.
Republicans have manufactured a health care crisis in America. Over the next few weeks, I’m going to explain how their policies will make it harder for you to see the doctor, increase health care prices, and endanger our public health. ⬇️
🚨A new survey found that nearly two-thirds of corn growers are more concerned about their farm’s financial status than they were last year. I'm going to keep fighting for our growers in Congress by advocating for market based solutions - like year round E-15.
Today, I toured the new Tillamook factory in Decatur! This ice cream plant will create good-paying jobs and bring historic growth to the community. As we face tough economic times, it’s great to see these new opportunities coming to Decatur.
Shanah Tovah! Wishing all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah in #IL13 and around the world a happy and healthy new year.
