Four years ago, after losing a free and fair election, President Trump incited a mob to violently attack our nation's Capitol. This anniversary is a solemn reminder of just how fragile our democracy is.

It was an honor to be sworn in today to represent IL-11 in the 119th Congress.
I'm ready to continue fighting for the workers, families, and small businesses that make our communities great.
Here we go again. #SpeakerVote
Wishing a joyous and peaceful Kwanzaa to all those celebrating!
Wishing everyone who celebrates in Illinois and around the world a very Happy Hanukkah! May these next eight days be filled with peace, light, and blessings.
Merry Christmas, Illinois! May your celebrations be filled with warmth and joy.
It's been another great year serving the people of Illinois’ 11th Congressional District!
Check out some highlights from my work in 2024 ⬇️
Great news—the Senate passed the Social Security Fairness Act, which means it’s heading to President Biden's desk! This will finally repeal the WEP and GPO penalties that unfairly reduce benefits for police officers, firefighters, and other public servants.
Here's my statement on tonight's vote to avoid a government shutdown.
We’ve seen all this before. Republicans have no plan and they don’t care.
The only thing missing now is Ted Cruz reading Green Eggs and Ham on the Senate Floor.
My bill with Senator Durbin, Senator Duckworth, and Rep. Underwood is on its way to President Biden's desk!
Dr. Helen Edwards was a scientific and technical leader of Fermilab, and she was a dear friend of mine. I'm thrilled that the IERC will honor her memory.

Despite the GOP chaos surrounding the CR, repealing the debt limit would be a good thing. It has brought the US to the brink of economic calamity far too many times.
That's why I wrote a bill to repeal the debt ceiling. I would be glad to work across the aisle to get it done.
Reposted byCongressman Bill Foster
For years I have urged my colleagues for years to permanently eliminate the debt ceiling, which has never reduced our national debt.
I am a cosponsor of @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social’s bill to do it.
Let’s abolish the debt limit for good.
ICYMI: We released our House AI Task Force Report yesterday! I'm proud of the bipartisan work we did to set a solid framework for building meaningful AI legislation in the new Congress.
Take a look at the report here: https://buff.ly/3BAyUv8
Last week, I stopped by Lemont to meet with Mayor Egofske and present him with a check for $500,000 in Community Project Funding! This funding will support multiple rail crossing projects throughout Lemont aimed at improving pedestrian and vehicle safety.
As Congress' only PhD physicist, it has been an honor serving on the House Task Force on AI. Read my full statement on our report below ⬇️
Shocked and saddened to hear about the tragedy at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, where I grew up.
Our children deserve better.
I was also proud to deliver a Congressional Record Statement that celebrates the achievement of Tristen and Sawyer, who recently placed 5th at the World Robot Olympiad International Finals where they competed against teams from 90 countries!
Over the weekend, I stopped by the Valhallen Esports Training Center in Naperville--a place where young people are learning about robotics and technology in a hands-on and fun way.
More great news for Illinois! IBM's decision means more investment--and most importantly, more good jobs--for the Chicagoland area.
I applaud Governor Pritzker for working tirelessly to position our state as a global leader in quantum computing research and innovation.
