Purging 10,000 postal employees is step one of President Trump’s effort to turn the USPS into a private business venture - which will lead to post office closures, delivery delays & higher prices for everyday Americans.

This is a HUGE win for every VA employee, and veteran, who was wrongfully fired by DOGE.
The Postmaster General’s plans to downsize the USPS in rural areas would mean even more delays for Central and Southern Illinoisans. I just introduced the bipartisan Protect Postal Performance Act to ensure changes to the USPS aren’t made on the backs of our rural communities.
When I came to Congress, I made a commitment to our communities that I would always seek common ground. Biofuels are the perfect opportunity for us to come together to benefit our farmers, consumers, environment, and economy.
Happy Holi to everyone celebrating in #IL13 and around the world! May the festival of colors bring you joy and happiness.
Louis DeJoy just admitted he agreed to hand over the Postal Service to Elon Musk. This is a blatant move toward privatization, and I will fight to protect our postal workers and ensure affordable service—especially for rural communities.
Telemedicine is a great way to break down barriers to health care in rural areas - especially for mental and behavioral health.
My Rural Wellness Act would help more communities access this technology and ensure that quality care is available for ALL.
Attention IL13! Severe thunderstorms are expected to hit the district Friday. Stay safe and follow these easy tips:
⛈️When you hear thunder, stop all outdoor activity and head inside.
⛈️If you are caught outside in lightning, seek shelter in a building or hard-topped car.
I always love the chance to meet with Illinois corn growers! We had a great conversation about creating new markets, investing in biofuels and strengthening crop insurance programs to support our farmers.
Purging half of the staff at the Department of Education jeopardizes resources, programs and protections that millions of students rely on. Working families, rural communities, and kids with special needs will pay the price for this reckless move.

I’m fighting in Congress to ensure our men and women in uniform have high-quality footwear made right here in the U.S. – like at the Belleville Boot Company! It was great to meet with folks from Belleville Boots to talk about supporting American manufacturing.
Instead of taking action to combat the bird flu and bring down prices, the Trump Admin accidentally fired disease control experts at the FDA and CDC.
Check out my op-ed in Fox News where I run through what this means for our pocketbooks and our public health.
The CR is a bad deal for Illinois’ 13th district.
Here’s why 👇
I’m proud to stand with Rep. Adrian Smith and other bipartisan colleagues in support of year-round E15. Expanding biofuel access will empower emerging markets for corn growers, strengthen our local economies, and help lower prices for consumers across the country.
I’ve heard from veterans across my district about the financial obstacles they’ve faced since leaving active duty service. I'm proud to reintroduce my bill with Rep. Abe Hamadeh to expand access to STEM scholarships to help veterans to advance their skills and enter good-paying jobs!
I joined @tokuda.house.gov in urging President Trump to reverse cuts to the office handling disaster aid for St. Clair County after last July's floods. Firing essential staff makes it harder to deliver this aid effectively and delays recovery for our community.
I joined WTAX to talk about the stopgap funding bill and other issues affecting #IL13. Listen here. capitolcitynow.com/podcasts/rep...
The stopgap funding bill we’re voting on this week would create a taxpayer funded slush fund for Elon Musk and President Trump. I joined CNN this morning to talk about what this means for our communities.
Privatizing the USPS would result in higher costs for the people of Central and Southern Illinois. I won't stand for it. I'm leading 159 members in a letter to President Trump warning against these plans. We must ensure affordable, reliable service for rural communities across the country.
