Open enrollment started this week; millions of Americans are finding out just how much their premiums skyrocketed because Republicans will let ACA tax credits expire. President Trump & Republicans are responsible for this healthcare crisis. abcnews.go.com/US/aca-obama...
Families are struggling to pay their bills, put food on the table, and afford healthcare. Yet President Trump is refurbishing a new jet, taking golf trips, and sending money to Argentina to bail them out. What about hardworking Americans?
SNAP feeds families, veterans, seniors, and people with disabilities. In my district, one in four people rely on SNAP to make ends meet. Instead of releasing the funds, Trump is deepening the crisis—and hunger hurts everyone, from farmers to grocery store employees.
Federal agents crashed into a woman’s car, pulled her out at gunpoint, and forced her into a minivan. She was held for hours, then released without charges or explanation. Chicagoans say ICE is out of control. But President Trump says he wants more.
Happy Native American Heritage Month! This November, we honor American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and all Indigenous peoples nationwide. I am committed to recognizing their enduring achievements and vital contributions to our country.
House Republicans have been on vacation for over 34 days, which likely explains why Speaker Johnson missed the memo about President Trump pardoning Changpeng Zhao, founder of Binance. Trump’s family, by the way, has benefited millions of dollars from Binance.
President Trump refuses to fully fund SNAP, even after two court orders. He plans to fund it partially at his convenience instead of fully & immediately. Partial funding isn’t enough—families, vets, seniors, & people with disabilities deserve full access to benefits.
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.
