President Trump wants more ICE raids. I’ve seen agents point guns at people, deploy tear gas, zip-tie kids, and tear families apart, but to him, that’s not enough. Sec. Noem and President Trump are using fear to terrorize whole cities.
Families shouldn’t have to worry about losing healthcare because Republicans refuse to do their job. Republicans are dragging us through this reckless shutdown instead of working with us to protect affordable care. Now, they’re making it hurt as much as possible by suspending SNAP.
Republicans can’t claim to stand for “law and order” while hiding the Epstein Files. Real justice means truth—regardless of who it implicates. The victims deserve justice. Americans deserve transparency.
Trump says he’s going after “the worst of the worst.” But his ICE raids are tearing apart Chicago’s workforce — from hospitality to manufacturing. ICE isn’t targeting criminals; they’re targeting hardworking, taxpaying people. That’s not justice. It’s cruelty.
It’s been 33 days since the government shut down. Speaker Johnson still refuses to bring the House back to work, swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva, or meet with Democrats to protect affordable healthcare. Instead, he’s rubber-stamping Trump’s plan to gut food assistance.
Because of Republican inaction, a family in Illinois could pay $8,533 more for health insurance. Families shouldn’t have to pay higher monthly bills just because Republicans refuse to do their jobs. I’ll keep fighting to lower costs and make healthcare affordable again.
President Trump and his Congressional Republicans are playing political games with your healthcare. Due to Republican inaction, a 45-year-old Illinois couple could pay $2,571 more for healthcare next year. That’s not leadership; that’s cruelty.
You can’t feed your kids with excuses. You can’t pay bills with empty promises. 32 days into the Republican shutdown, and families are paying the price while Republicans offer nothing but excuses and empty promises.
At Trump’s direction, USDA Secretary Rollins is illegally suspending SNAP. 42 million Americans rely on SNAP to put food on the table. That’s: 📍 16 million children 📍 8 million seniors 📍 1.2 million veterans They’re all at risk of losing food assistance tomorrow.
Healthcare costs shouldn’t double because of politics. But at Trump’s direction, Republicans refused to act—and now a 60-year-old Illinois couple could pay $16,637 more for coverage. That’s simply not right.
Happy Halloween 🎃 Republicans are serving up a real fright—cuts to SNAP, higher healthcare costs, and a never-ending shutdown. To top it off, their Big Ugly Law is the main act of this year’s horror show. All tricks. No treats.
SNAP provides 9 meals for every 1 meal given by a food bank. But Trump refuses to use $5 billion in emergency funds to feed families, suspending SNAP. Food banks, which are already overwhelmed, will be pushed to their breaking point. In the richest country in the world, Trump is simply being cruel.
Open Enrollment is around the corner for millions of Illinois families, many of whom are bracing for higher costs because Republicans refuse to extend ACA tax credits. Have you gotten your notice in the mail? I’d like to hear from you. Share the impact of these cost changes for you or your family:
Families in my district are still shaken by Trump’s Gestapo-style ICE raids. Parents are being taken from their jobs. Children woke up in the night to helicopters above their homes. No family should live in fear of being torn apart or be afraid to step outside their home.
Families are bracing for higher health costs and lost SNAP benefits…while President Trump builds a $300 million ballroom. The American people are calling for answers. Got voicemail instead. Hardworking Americans deserve better than this.
Former Deputy Grayson was found guilty of killing Sonya Massey, an unarmed Black woman experiencing a mental health crisis who had called 911 for help. Real justice would’ve been Sonya Massey alive today. We need true police reform that builds trust in our communities. apnews.com/article/sean...
