House Republicans have proposed a budget that would gut essential services for people in our community. I'm voting no.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govFeb 24(source)

The Republican budget proposal is a disaster. It threatens the health care of the 80,061 people on Medicaid in IL-06. House Republicans want to cut critical programs to give handouts to the wealthy.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govFeb 24(source)

Last week, I toured Thrive of Lisle and learned about their post-acute and long-term care services. Now more than ever, it’s crucial for us to stand up to preserve programs like Medicaid that help patients access these services.

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

Today, I hosted a seniors-focused town hall in Downers Grove. Throughout the meeting, we discussed the impacts of the Trump Administration and what I’m doing to stop Republican attempts to cut Social Security and Medicaid.

February is Black History Month. Today and every day, let’s celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of Black Americans and remember that Black history is American history.

Earlier this week, I participated in Lewis University’s Fostering Positive Mental Health in Aviation Program. I spoke about my pilot mental health work in Congress and appreciated the opportunity to hear from aviation students.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govFeb 18(source)

Over 70 cases have been filed against the Trump Administration’s executive orders or agency actions. Here’s what’s happening in the courts:

As the son and grandson of veterans, I hold in highest regard those who have put their lives on the line to defend our country. Today, I was honored to deliver valentines at the Hines VA Clinic. Thank you to everyone who crafted over 3,500 valentines to help my office show gratitude to veterans.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govFeb 14(source)

In addition to dropping the Valentines off at local community centers, my office would like to spread the thoughtful valentines we have received around by mailing them out to veterans. To send a valentine to a veteran, please fill out this form: forms.gle/L7vHJVpZPwV7...

Last week, I introduced a bill with @rephaleystevens.bsky.social to prevent Elon Musk from accessing US citizens' private data. All it takes now is for three House Republicans to be willing to stand up to Donald Trump and Elon Musk and for the American people.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govFeb 11(source)

ICYMI: Last week, I led 154 House Democrats in a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressing concern regarding Elon Musk and his allies’ access to the federal government’s payments system, and demanding answers about the extent of Musk’s access. casten.house.gov/media/press-...

Today I offered a motion to help ensure Elon Musk no longer has unlawful access to Federal Government systems and the private, sensitive data of taxpaying Americans. All but one House Republican voted No and defeated my motion, choosing cowardice over patriotism.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govFeb 7(source)

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govFeb 6(source)

This fight isn't over, but a bully is always counting on folks being unwilling to stand up. I'm standing up to Elon Musk and for the American people.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govFeb 6(source)

Second, I led 154 House Democrats in a letter to Treasury Secretary Bessent demanding answers about the extent of Musk's access to data and ability to stop federal payments to programs like SNAP, Medicaid, and Social Security. (3/4) casten.house.gov/media/press-...
