From New York to Hawaii, the message is loud and clear: Americans have had enough of ICE and Secretary Noem. I’m leading the effort to impeach Secretary Noem for her unconstitutional actions and ICE’s reign of terror on our communities.
President Trump said “you’ll find out” on how far he’ll go to take over Greenland. I’m not waiting to find out. I’m stopping him now. I filed an amendment to the defense funding bill to keep President Trump in check and prevent him from buying or attacking Greenland.
Three years ago in Monterey Park, a Lunar New Year celebration turned to tragedy. Today, I remember the 11 killed, 9 injured, and the Asian American community that was traumatized. I will keep fighting for commonsense gun reform that disarms hate to protect all our communities.
In 1968, Shirley Chisholm broke barriers, becoming the first African American woman elected to Congress—paving the way for us today. Now, I have a painting of her in my office to remind me of the power of representation.
The incompetence surrounding President Trump is unbelievable. Secretary Noem and fellow minions follow President Trump blindly, no matter the harm. I’m impeaching Secretary Noem for breaking due process by directing her agents to conduct warrantless arrests and use excessive force.
President Trump promised to lower costs of living on Day One of his presidency. One year later, families are still waiting. Instead of lowering costs, President Trump’s inflation caused the everyday Illinois family to pay $1,781 more in 2025.
The message is clear: the People have had enough. I filed Articles of Impeachment against Secretary Noem to answer their demands for actions and show her that Americans & Congress are watching. She cannot break the law without consequences.
Happy National Popcorn Day. I believe in popcorn diplomacy. Sometimes real progress starts with a simple conversation and a shared snack. I will keep working to turn these conversations into action for our families.
Dr. King taught us that the road to justice is long and often difficult, but we must keep moving forward. Today, I honor his legacy by standing up for justice, fighting for equality, and working toward fairness for all.
Secretary Noem and her rogue agents are terrifying people. People—immigrants and Americans alike—are too scared to go to work, drop their kids off at school, go to doctors' appointments, and eat out. I’m impeaching Secretary Noem for violating public trust.
Every day, I talk to Illinoisans who are worried about groceries and bills. Families are hurting. While I’m working to lower your bills, Republicans are making the affordability crisis worse. You deserve better than elected officials who ignore your struggles.
Don’t leave your health to chance. Get Covered Illinois is giving you more time to find the right insurance. Sign up by January 31 to start your coverage on February 1. I’m fighting to lower healthcare costs and keep our families healthy. Learn more: getcovered.illinois.gov/get-started/...
Secretary Noem has called the impeachment against her “silly.” Secretary Noem, if you think impeachment is silly, then you are not taking our Constitution seriously. You answer to The People, and I will make sure of it
Safety shouldn’t be a "luxury feature." 🚗💨 If your car loses power or is in an accident, you shouldn't be trapped inside. I’m fighting to pass the SAFE Exit Act to ensure every vehicle has easy-to-find, manual door releases. Common sense safety > Sleek design.
No one—not the President nor ICE—is above the law. Kristi Noem has obstructed Congress, violated constitutional rights, and abused taxpayer dollars.     That’s why I support @robinkelly.house.gov’s impeachment effort Noem. Let's build the case and bring accountability to ICE.
Medical research is only as good as the data behind it. I’m proud to introduce the bipartisan & bicameral NIH Clinical Trial Integrity Act to ensure clinical trials include people of all backgrounds. Making research more accessible so life-saving treatments work for everyone.
Today is #ReligiousFreedomDay. I believe every individual should have the fundamental right to practice their faith and express their beliefs freely. I’m incredibly grateful to the veterans and faith leaders who work tirelessly to protect this cornerstone of our democracy.
