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.

US scraps sanctions on Tornado Cash, crypto ‘mixer’ accused of laundering North Korea money

The U.S. Treasury on Friday lifted economic sanctions against Tornado Cash, a firm that makes cryptocurrency transactions harder to track, which the Biden administration had accused of helping launder more than $7 billion for North Korean and other cyber hackers.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govMar 21(source)

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.

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.

While there may be disagreement with Mr. Khalil’s speech, it is his Constitutional right to express his political views. Every American should be outraged by this brazen and dangerous abuse of power.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govMar 17(source)

Weaponizing the immigration system to crush & chill protected free speech puts our nation on the side of authoritarian leaders like Vladimir Putin & Xi Jinping. I joined over 100 of my House Democratic colleagues in demanding answers from the Trump Administration about the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil.

The House Republican appropriations resolution cuts funding for senior housing programs, veterans' health care, and election security. It serves only to further empower Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Why I voted No: casten.house.gov/media/press-...
