This morning, I’m at the Department of Education to demand a meeting with the Acting Secretary of Education to push back on their ongoing efforts to dismantle the Department.

Trump's EOs targeting the LGBTQ+ community are shameful. All people deserve to be protected from discrimination and treated equally as their authentic selves.
Our nation has made tremendous progress in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights; I will stand firmly against any efforts to force us backward.
ICYMI: I visited the Treasury this week to try to shed some light on why Team Musk was allowed unprecedented access to U.S. citizen's private data.
We weren't allowed past the gate.
No one elected Elon Musk. I will keep fighting to get my constituents the answers they deserve.
NEWS: I’m at the Treasury with my colleagues right now trying to get to the bottom of why Team Musk was given unrestricted access to the U.S. Treasury payment systems. Elon Musk is an unelected oligarch, and Americans deserve answers.
On Friday, I checked in with local organizations to hear how Trump's illegal funding freeze will impact them. The message was clear: it will disrupt the essential services that so many of our neighbors rely on.
I'm committed to ensuring these groups receive the federal funds they are owed.
Neither Donald Trump nor Elon Musk has the authority to dissolve USAID. Shutting it down is dangerous and must be stopped.
Not only will this deteriorate U.S. leadership globally, it makes it much more likely that future disease outbreaks will reach our shores.
Elon Musk is an unelected oligarch. Americans deserve answers as to why he was given unrestricted access to the U.S. Treasury payment systems.
This power grab is unprecedented, but my colleagues and I are doing everything we can to try to stop this.
As a scientist, I’m usually all about facts and data—but today I put that aside for the hope of an early spring!
It was great to visit Woodstock’s Groundhog Day celebration this morning. I’m happy to report that Woodstock Willie did NOT see his shadow!
This is only the beginning of Republican attacks against the CFPB. I will continue fighting to preserve the CFPB’s ability to protect consumers and keep our financial system safe.
This success has been made possible by the great leadership at the CFPB, and I want to thank Director Chopra for his tremendous service in driving these achievements.
One of my proudest accomplishments in Congress was helping create the CFPB, which, to date, has returned nearly $20 billion to consumers who were treated unfairly by financial institutions.
There's no way to spin it. Trump's tariffs will increase prices for consumers right here in Illinois—especially at the grocery store and the gas pump.
Not exactly the platform he campaigned on...
Last night's plane crash at DCA is absolutely heartbreaking. My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones.
I'm grateful to the first responders who rushed to the scene and worked through the night on search and rescue efforts.
Happy Lunar New Year to everyone celebrating in IL-11, across the country, and around the world!
Too late. Yesterday's incompetence confirmed Trump's intentions are as bad as we feared.
I heard from constituents worried about keeping food on the table for their kids. Nonprofits who don't know if they can provide the assistance our neighbors rely on.
We will fight back.
We’re seeing the real-life consequences of Project 2025.
My full statement on Trump's illegal funding freeze.
Great news! Illinois is participating in the IRS Direct File program this tax season.
Simplifying tax returns is something I've been working on since 2010. This program will save taxpayers time and money.
