Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This isn’t fooling anyone.

400,000 people in Illinois rely on ACA tax credits to pay for their health care. Republicans are shutting down the government because they want these credits to expire.
This morning, my colleagues and I stood on the House steps, ready to negotiate a bipartisan funding agreement that prevents health care premiums from skyrocketing.
House Republicans are still nowhere to be found.
The government shuts down at midnight.
@housedemocrats.bsky.social are in DC and ready to negotiate in good faith for a bipartisan funding bill.
Meanwhile, House Republicans canceled votes and are refusing to come back to DC.
I'm proud that Illinois is standing up for science-based vaccine guidance. Check out IDPH's vaccine recommendations here:
JOB SEEKERS: There's still time to register for my Job & Career Fair on October 2 at Waubonsee Community College! More information and a link to register can be found at foster.house.gov/jobs.
The Golden Goose Awards is one of my favorite events of the year!
It's a great opportunity to highlight the impact of federally funded, curiosity-driven scientific research.
We will keep pushing until Illinois residents get the transparency they deserve. (2/2)
This week, I joined my Illinois colleagues in demanding answers from DHS about "Operation Midway Blitz," including reports of poor conditions at the Broadview processing facility. It's unacceptable that DHS and ICE continue to spread fear in our communities and dodge congressional oversight. (1/2)
Instead of working with Democrats to pass a bipartisan bill
to keep the government open, Republicans decided to leave Washington.
I’m calling on Speaker Johnson to come back to DC so we can
pass a bill that addresses rising health care costs and supports working
families.
Wishing all those celebrating in IL-11 a happy, healthy and sweet new year. Shanah Tovah U'metukah!
Instead, Republicans have doubled down on their reckless cuts to health care—the largest in American history—and are refusing to extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits that over 20 million Americans depend on to afford coverage.
Today, I voted against the Republican funding bill. For months, Democrats have been ready to work across the aisle to craft a bipartisan funding bill that strengthens the health, safety, and economic well-being of the American people.
RFK Jr.'s anti-science, anti-vax beliefs continue to put children's health at risk.
His committee has voted to NOT recommend the combined vaccine scientifically proven to prevent measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox.

We must condemn all political violence in the strongest possible terms. Anything less weakens our democracy.
My statement on the resolution condemning political violence following the murder of Charlie Kirk.
This #ConstitutionDay, I'm highlighting a conference I attended hosted by Chinese American Women in Action (CAWA).
We discussed Trump's unconstitutional threats to birthright citizenship—attacks that undermine the rights of immigrant families and the core principles of our democracy.
Last month, severe weather caused extensive damage across Illinois, including communities in my district spanning Boone, Kane, McHenry, Will and Cook Counties.
Today, I joined my Illinois colleagues in urging POTUS to grant @govpritzker.illinois.gov's request for federal assistance from FEMA.
Democracy works best when everyone makes their voice heard. On National Voter Registration Day, make sure you, your friends, and your family are all registered to vote at vote.gov.
I am monitoring recent reports of ICE activity in West Chicago and throughout the region. As the Trump Administration continues to spread fear within our communities and tear families apart, it's important to know your rights: foster.house.gov/know-your-ri...
