A family in Palos Park was trying to settle their mother’s estate with the Department of the Treasury. After waiting nearly 10 months, they reached out to my office and my team was able to step in and advocate on their behalf. Are you having trouble with a federal agency? Reach out to my office.

The president was convicted of falsifying business records. Now his wealth is surging through crypto ventures and Republicans won’t say whether sanctioned actors are funneling money through them. If this were a Democrat,Republicans would already be demanding hearings. The silence says everything.

Republicans entered this legislative week planning to fund Trump’s billion-dollar ballroom and hand another blank check to ICE and Border Patrol. Instead, they descended into chaos and ended the session early. Imagine if Congress focused on the American people instead of Trump’s wishlist.

House Republicans cancel vote on war powers resolution to end US war in Iran

Cancellation, which avoids embarrassment for Trump, is latest signal of diminishing congressional support for war

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

House Republicans' proposed budget does nothing to lower the high cost of living for Americans. Instead, it gives ICE and Border Patrol another $70 billion, with no direct oversight. I want to hear from you: Should Congress use your tax dollars to give ICE additional funding?

Alongside my Democratic colleagues I was proud to pass the ROAD to Housing Act, a piece of legislation that addresses our nation’s housing crisis and makes the American Dream of owning a home a possibility for millions of working families.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govMay 20(source)

Instead of lowering costs for working families, Donald Trump is funneling $1.8 billion in taxpayer dollars through the DOJ into a slush fund designed to benefit his political allies.

DOJ sets up $1.8B ‘anti-weaponization’ fund after Trump drops IRS lawsuit

The massive taxpayer-backed fund was set up to settle what outside legal experts had called an “unprecedented” lawsuit filed by the sitting president against the government.

I recently joined the Chicago River Clean Up Day at the Lucas Berg Nature Preserve in Worth and the Cal Sag Channel in Crestwood with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District. Keeping our local waterways clean is vital to protect our region’s most important natural resources.

Reforming the Supreme Court is not a partisan issue, it is a constitutional issue. We have to ensure all three branches of government respect the balance of power laid out in the Constitution.

Yesterday, I attended American Legion Post 991’s Memorial Day Service in Worth. I was honored to lay a wreath at the Eternal Flame at Veterans’ Memorial Park to pay tribute to the brave servicemembers who gave their lives in defense of our nation.

Today, in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in Callais, I'm fighting for voting rights. As my late colleague Elijah Cummings used to say, we are better than this.

Maria reached out to my office after unsuccessful attempts to obtain her work authorization card from USCIS. My team stepped in to resolve the issue, because no one should have to navigate government red tape alone. Having trouble with a federal agency? Reach out to my office, we’re ready to help!

This Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m proud to lead legislation improving mental health resources in aviation. Our pilots and air traffic controllers deserve access to the support they need. I’m glad to see my bipartisan legislation pass the House and look forward to Senate passage.

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

Democracy does not erode overnight. It erodes when those elected to defend it choose silence instead. Congress has both the authority and the responsibility to push back against judicial overreach. As a member of this legislative body, I chose to stand up and do exactly that.

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

Just in: Donald Trump finally telling the truth and openly admitting he does not care about your finances. Since we’re on a truth-telling streak, would the president also care share why families are paying more for groceries, healthcare, and energy while his billionaire friends are cashing in?

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

Congress must use its constitutional power to act as a check on a Supreme Court set on stripping rights away from Americans.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govMay 13(source)

It was an incredible honor to meet the Artemis II crew and commend them for the historic mission they took on behalf of our country and our planet.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govMay 13(source)

Since the start of the president’s illegal war in Iran, Illinois drivers have seen gas prices rise by nearly 40%, worsening the affordability and energy challenges families are already facing. Speaker Johnson, when are we going to start voting to lower prices for the American people?
