I’m deeply saddened by today’s tragic shooting in Georgia. My heart goes out to the victims, their families, and all of the servicemembers at Fort Stewart.

When science becomes a political target, everyone pays the price. On One Decision Podcast, I discussed the Trump Administration’s and DOGE’s dangerous attacks on research and the scientists behind it. Check it out ⬇️
As if slashing people's health care to fund their massive tax breaks wasn’t enough, Trump and his billionaire donors are now building a gold-plated ballroom at the White House.
Trump is more concerned about his next party's venue than if you can afford your next hospital bill.
This is corruption on full display.
Firing the head of the BLS won’t hide what Americans are already experiencing under Trump's economic agenda: higher costs, lost jobs, and growing economic uncertainty.
The July jobs report is a bad sign for the economy—and on track with when economists forecasted we would start to see a downturn due to Trump's trade war.
Trump's tariffs are making it impossible for businesses to plan for the future and will continue to drive unemployment even higher.
Congressman Davis has been an invaluable leader in civil rights and for the people of Illinois. In Congress, Danny and I bonded over his career and my father's contributions to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Danny's presence in Congress will be missed, and I wish him the best in retirement.
I was proud to join my colleagues to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid today.
The Republican budget strips away health care from millions of Americans, so now more than ever, we must stand up to protect Medicare and Medicaid.
Thank you to everyone who came out for my Aurora town hall last night! It’s always a pleasure to connect with constituents about their concerns.
If you weren’t able to make it, you can watch the full recording on my YouTube.
I’ll be announcing my next town hall soon!

Revoking the EPA’s legal authority to combat climate change and hold polluters accountable is a dangerous attack on our communities and planet.
Trump must reverse course.

Math and science nerds around the world are mourning the passing of Tom Lehrer, one of the most brilliant comedy songwriters of our lifetimes.

Energy costs are up since Trump took office. I’d say his plan to cut costs hasn’t been working—but he never had a plan to begin with.
What are Republicans scared of? #epsteinfiles
Join me at my next town hall on Tuesday, July 29 at 6:30pm CT at Aurora University's Crimi Auditorium!

After denying for months that they would do this, Trump's EPA is eliminating its scientific research arm.
Nearly all EPA rules—which protect our environment and public health—rely on independent research from this office. This latest attack on science will have lasting consequences.
Yesterday, the Trump Administration shut down the 988 LGBTQ+ youth suicide hotline. This is cruel and risks lives.
While this decision should be reversed, I'm proud that Illinois will continue to support LGBTQ+ youth and keep the hotline live.

Yesterday, Republicans advanced Trump's meme coin grift and solidified harmful DOGE cuts into law.
I voted AGAINST Trump’s pursuit of unchecked power and personal profit.
Read my full statement here: foster.house.gov/media/press-...
The scammer-in-chief once called crypto a scam. Now, he's abusing our nation's highest office to push his meme coin and enrich himself and his family.
Our national labs make remarkable contributions to technologies that improve everyday life and keep the U.S. on the cutting edge of innovation.
Today, I introduced legislation with @lujan.senate.gov so our national labs get the infrastructure upgrades they need to continue driving research.
Social media companies collect valuable data on their users, and people have a right to know how these platforms turn that data into profit.
I introduced the DASHBOARD Act so it's easier for consumers to track how their unique data is being used.
