This is disgraceful. There was only one person in the Oval Office willing to stand up for democracy and against Putin, and it wasn’t the President or Vice President of the United States.

Last month, I spent time at the National Air Traffic Control Center in Illinois. Air traffic controllers deserve access to mental health care when they need it. I'm working on bipartisan legislation to ensure that aviators can get the help they need.
Yesterday, on the House Floor, I shared the story of a federal scientist who Donald Trump and Elon Musk fired.
By halting the work of our federal researchers, we are crippling our nation’s ability to innovate, adapt, and maintain our status as a world leader in science.
Last week, I partnered with Rep. Robin Kelly to introduce the Gun Trafficker Detection Act. This legislation would help end the flow of illegal guns into Illinois by requiring gun owners to report if their gun is lost or stolen within 24 hours. Read more:

Imagine being so terrified of Elon Musk and Donald Trump that the only way you are willing to advocate for the HUMANE treatment of federal public servants is to do so *privately*.

Why I voted Hell No on the budget resolution considered by the House tonight:
casten.house.gov/media/press-...
House Republicans have proposed a budget that would gut essential services for people in our community. I'm voting no.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
