March is National Reading Month. Last week, I visited libraries in Tinley Park, Chicago Ridge, and Palos Hills to learn more about upcoming community programs and hear how federal funding cuts may impact library resources.
Educators are often forced to pay hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to pay for supplies to build a functional, comfortable, and resource-filled learning environment. I partnered with Rep. Tim Burchett to introduce the bipartisan Educators Expense Deduction Modernization Act of 2025. Read more:
ICYMI: Last month, I teamed up with Rep. Haley Stevens to introduce the Taxpayer Data Protection Act, legislation to ensure US private citizens’ data is not subject to reckless and unlawful interference by unelected billionaires like Elon Musk. Read more here: casten.house.gov/media/press-...

We are seeing the consequences of what happens when inexperienced and unqualified individuals are put in charge of our national security. My full statement on the latest egregious breach of US national security: casten.house.gov/media/press-...
Today and every day, equal work deserves equal pay. I am a proud cosponsor of the Paycheck Fairness Act, legislation to put an end to pay discrimination. When we close the gap for everyone, we all win. #EqualPayDay
The Trump Administration's recklessness has put our national security at risk. No one is this incompetent just once. This is just one example of how Trump appointees are willing to put our national security on the line to cover their own reputation.
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
March is Women’s History Month. I appreciated the opportunity to partner with the Lombard Historical Society to discuss my Period PROUD Act and the remarkable accomplishments of Ellen Martin, the first woman to vote in Illinois.
The Trump Admin just lifted sanctions against a company at the heart of North Korea's ability to hack crypto funds to finance their nuclear weapons arsenal. Stop me if you've heard this before, but the Trump Administration is, once again, making life easier for dictators and foreign adversaries.
Earlier this week, I toured Cornell Forge Company in Bedford Park. We discussed the importance of the forging industry in the supply chain for different markets, including critical industries in defense and agriculture.
Congress must do everything possible to make our communities safer from gun violence. I teamed up with Rep. Hank Johnson and Senators Amy Klobuchar and Gary Peters to introduce legislation to combat the increased use and proliferation of dangerous gun conversion devices. Read more:
Today is Medicaid Day of Action. In IL-06, the 130,479 people on Medicaid are at risk of losing their health care under Republican budget plans. This includes 55,585 children under the age of 19 and 17,000 seniors over 65 in IL-06. We must protect America's single largest health care provider.
Over the weekend, I was honored to attend the annual Ramadan interfaith Iftar hosted by the Baet-ul-Jaamay Mosque in Glen Ellyn. I enjoyed the opportunity to connect with the community during the Ramadan season.
