DOGE is coming after the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - the federal agency that protects us from getting scammed by big banks and shady lenders. Paying a massive overdraft fee might not matter to a billionaire like Elon Musk, but it matters to working families.

My constituent shared how Medicaid allows her family to care for her daughter who was born four months premature. Everyone should listen to her story – especially my Republican colleagues who voted to cut this vital program.
Working Americans pay into #SocialSecurity with each and every paycheck throughout the year – except for the ultra-wealthy, who stop paying this month! It’s time to #ScrapTheCap and enhance benefits for everyone for the first time in more than 50 years!
For decades, Wieland has supported good-paying union jobs in East Alton. I’m proud to have played a role securing investments to allow Wieland to continue its presence in our community and strengthen the local economy for generations to come.
Fighting for working people is my life’s work. I’m excited to announce that I will serve as co-chair of the new Labor Caucus Building Trades Task Force and Health Care, Service, and Retail Task Force!
Laying off 83,000 VA employees is a slap in the face to every veteran who put their life on the line for America. I joined my colleagues on the House Veterans Affairs Committee in condemning President Trump’s plan to gut the VA workforce – because veterans are NOT government waste.
Today, on International Women’s Day, join me in recognizing the contributions of countless women in our communities. Our teachers, firefighters, doctors, small business owners, mothers and more are fighting for a world where every woman and girl can thrive.
Lisa Quandt, a special education teacher from Belleville, is one of millions of educators across the country who are in fear of Trump shuttering the Department of Education. This morning, she spoke about how her students will be impacted.
This week, we introduced the #PROAct! This bipartisan bill protects the right of all workers to join a union and bargain collectively for higher wages, better benefits and safer working conditions. As a member of the Labor Caucus, I will never stop fighting for workers in Congress.
My constituent shared how Medicaid is a lifeline for her family to meet their daughter's medical needs. Cuts to this program would be devastating for so many in our community.
60 years ago, hundreds of demonstrators were attacked on the Edmund Pettus Bridge as they marched for the right to vote. I'm proud to honor their legacy by joining my colleagues in introducing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to safeguard equal access to the ballot box.
The Trump Administration is trying to privatize the critical public services that Americans rely on. We won’t stand for it.
No one should have to travel hours just to visit the doctor, and telemedicine is a great way to reduce the barriers to care so often faced by rural communities. I’m proud to introduce the bipartisan Rural Wellness Act to expand access to this tech, especially for mental and behavioral health care.
Firing 83,000 VA employees is an outright betrayal of America’s veterans. Such extreme cuts will likely grind the VA to a halt and millions of veterans will be denied access to the care and benefits they deserve. www.govexec.com/workforce/20...
Tyffany is a single parent in #IL13 who was laid off from her job at USDA because of Elon Musk’s purge of federal employees. Here’s her story:
Folks in Central and Southern Illinois are already getting their mail days or even ~weeks~ late. I’m leading the charge against plans to privatize the Postal Service and ensure that any changes to USPS aren’t made on the backs of our rural communities.
As a union member, I know how important it is to protect the right to organize. I'm joining my colleagues to introduce the #PROAct which:
✊Protects workers’ basic rights to form & join a union
📢 Holds employers accountable for violating workers’ rights
📮Secures free, fair, & safe union elections
I joined Rep. John Larson and more than 150 Democrats in defending Social Security. We won’t let Trump and Elon Musk gut Social Security and take away these hard earned benefits from nearly 70 million Americans. larson.house.gov/media-center...
