Freezing childcare funding during an affordability crisis is inhumane. Innocent children will pay for Trump's political games. Not only is this cruel, it’s unfair. Illinois already sends more in federal taxes than we get back from Washington.

Today, I stood on the Capitol steps to mark five years since the January 6 insurrection.
My Democratic colleagues and I will always stand up for democracy.
On this day, we thank the brave law enforcement officers who defended the Capitol that day and recommit to defending democracy.
Today is the fifth anniversary of the January 6 insurrection.
That day, President Trump encouraged a violent mob to attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election. Trump has since pardoned every criminal involved—including those convicted of assaulting police officers.
Science and medical expertise should guide our vaccine recommendations, not RFK Jr.'s conspiracy theories.
Decisions like this erode trust in safe and effective vaccines, risking outbreaks of preventable diseases and endangering children's health.

Trump's incoherent ramblings at today's news conference will only fuel suspicion around the world that this was all about seizing Venezuela's oil, and nothing about supporting freedom and democracy.
It is hypocritical for Trump to claim this operation is about stopping the drug trade after Trump pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández who was convicted of serious drug trafficking charges.
Nicolás Maduro is a brutal dictator who stole an election, but our Constitution does not give the President the authority to conduct a premeditated act of war and pursue regime change without Congressional authorization.

My reaction to the U.S. attack in Venezuela (1/2)
Merry Christmas, Illinois! I hope everyone has a joyful and safe holiday spent with loved ones.
This isn’t the win Sec. Bessent thinks it is. Bond rallies often mean investors are worried.
Farmers are struggling because Trump's tariffs have cut them off from their export markets—and a $12 billion, taxpayer-funded bailout is not going to solve that problem.
It’s been an honor representing Illinois’ 11th Congressional District for another year!
Take a look at my 2025 Year in Review:

Taxpayer-funded buildings and programs are a public trust—they shouldn’t be used to stroke someone’s ego or line their pockets. I will be introducing legislation that would prevent federal sites and programs from being named after federal officials who are using their name for commercial purposes.
Thank you to everyone who attended my virtual town hall last night! As your Congressman, I will continue to do everything I can to keep you up to date on my work in Washington.

House Democrats are forcing a vote to prevent health care costs from skyrocketing. Here's what that means.
NEWS: House Democrats—along with a handful of House Republicans—are forcing a vote to extend ACA subsidies and prevent a worsening health care crisis for millions of Americans.
Speaker Johnson must bring this to the floor immediately.

The national unemployment rate is now at 4.6%—the highest point in over 4 years.
The recent jobs report is a concerning sign for the country and a clear indictment of Trump's handling of the economy.
