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' 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.
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.
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.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to join me this evening for my webinar on voting rights with Rep. Robin Kelly and special guests, including the Southern Poverty Law Center.

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.
REMINDER: I'm hosting a webinar on Monday at 7 PM CT with Rep. Robin Kelly and special guests, including the Southern Poverty Law Center, to discuss voting rights.

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!
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais, I’ll be hosting a webinar next Monday at 7 PM CT with Rep. Robin Kelly and special guests to discuss voting rights.
Register to learn more about the decision and hear what comes next.

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.
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.
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?
Congress must use its constitutional power to act as a check on a Supreme Court set on stripping rights away from Americans.
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.
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?
This week, instead of voting on bills to lower grocery, housing, health care, or energy costs, Speaker Johnson has chosen to focus on partisan, fear-driven legislation.
That’s where things stand in Congress right now: no action to lower costs for working families, just more political theater.
Congressional Republicans want to hand ICE a $38.2 billion check with little oversight or accountability.
Instead of investing taxpayer dollars in Medicaid, Social Security, SNAP, or lowering energy costs, my Republican colleagues are sending a clear message: you are not the priority.
