For folks traveling today experiencing long wait times, just know House Republicans had the perfect chance to put a stop to this chaos – but they refused. I’m going to keep doing everything I can to ensure our TSA agents get their well-deserved paychecks.
To those who have continued to show up every day despite missing your paychecks: thank you. Your dedication kept our skies secure and our waters safe. I promise Democrats will do everything we can to deliver the relief you deserve.
But House Republicans wouldn’t even bring it up for a vote. Instead, they pushed a nonsensical bill they knew had no chance of passing the Senate. Their choice to continue the shutdown leaves countless public servants without pay for a seventh week in a row.
We had a common-sense, bipartisan plan that passed the Senate unanimously. It would have made sure TSA agents, Coast Guard members, and FEMA workers got paid. It was a plan Democrats had been demanding for weeks – and I was ready to support it.
Last night, House Republicans put their extreme agenda before the livelihoods of federal workers and the Americans who depend on them for essential government services.🧵
Our PREDICT Act is the ONLY bipartisan bill to actually ban government officials from insider trading on prediction markets. This is a common sense guardrail to prevent corruption, restore public trust, and ensure lawmakers and their staff aren’t using their position to enrich themselves.
Trump’s war in Iran has already cost taxpayers $25 BILLION. Imagine if we invested this money in the American people instead of foreign wars? $25 billion would cover: 🩺 Medicaid for 3.1 million people 🥪 School lunch for 29 million children 🖍️ Childcare for 1.7 million families.
Today is Equal Pay Day - how far women have to work into 2026 to earn what men made in 2025. Let’s keep fighting for equal pay for equal work and to close the gender wage gap once and for all.
If you have access to sensitive information, you shouldn’t be able to use it to make money, plain and simple. That's why we introduced the PREDICT Act, to put clear, commonsense guardrails in place and ensure government officials don't bet on outcomes they have the power to control.
Republicans slashed SNAP to fund tax breaks for billionaires and because of these cuts, 30,200 Illinoisans could die. They knew the consequences of taking food assistance away from seniors, children, and disabled people – but they voted for it anyway.
Lawmakers with inside information and influence over world events shouldn’t be able to bet on their outcomes. It’s corrupt. I'm introducing the bipartisan PREDICT Act to ban Members of Congress, government officials, and senior staff from insider trading on prediction markets.
I just introduced the ONLY bipartisan bill to stop Members of Congress from insider trading on prediction markets. No official elected to serve the people should use their position to profit.
We need guardrails to prevent lawmakers from using prediction markets to profit off their inside information and influence. My PREDICT Act is the only bill to fully ban Members of Congress, government officials, and senior staff from betting on political events and policy decisions.
Today, I met with members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority from East St. Louis! These women are tireless advocates for our underserved communities, leaders in civic participation, and champions of academic excellence. It was great to learn more about their legislative priorities!
Rural hospitals across Central and Southern Illinois are at risk of shutting down because of Republican cuts. I refuse to sit back while my constituents lose access to care, which is why I’m fighting to restore full funding for Medicaid and the ACA tax credits.
I fought to bring home $34 million in federal funding for important priorities across the district, and I couldn’t be prouder to see these dollars going to work in our communities. Check out all of the projects we got funded:
16 years ago, the Affordable Care Act became the law of the land. I refuse to let Republicans destroy this framework that puts healthcare in reach for millions of Americans. I’m going to keep fighting to restore the tax credits, strengthen the ACA, and protect the care my constituents deserve.
