It’s Day 23 of the Republican Shutdown. Families are struggling, paychecks are delayed, and vital programs are stalled. @HouseDemocrats.bsky.social and I are in Washington fighting to reopen the government, protect healthcare, and get relief to the people who need it most.
Monthly health insurance notices are arriving for 2026 and open enrollment is around the corner. Families 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 your story with me: bit.ly/ACAShare
Trump’s playbook: 1️⃣ Start a crisis. 2️⃣ Blame someone else. 3️⃣ Announce a “fix.” 4️⃣ Repeat. Now he’s releasing $3B in farm aid frozen during the Republican shutdown to help farmers struggling due to his trade wars.
Families can’t afford higher monthly health insurance bills because @houserepublicans.bsky.social refuses to do their job. 15,000 people in the Second District will pay more each month if Republicans let critical ACA tax credits expire. It’s time to put people over politics.
The shutdown is causing flight delays in Chicago due to air traffic control staff shortages. Instead of ending the shutdown, Republicans are making life harder for travelers, workers, and airports across the country. www.nbcnews.com/business/tra...
I joined thousands of farmers and ag leaders in Decatur for the 2025 Farm Progress Show. A highlight was visiting the Uni. Illinois tent to see students and faculty leading innovative research to strengthen Illinois agriculture and support local farmers. 🌾
Illinois families are terrified they can’t afford groceries next week. Millions of Illinoisans just got alerts that their SNAP benefits are at risk. While Trump is building a ballroom, he’s leaving Americans to starve. This is the real cost of the Republican Shutdown.
The politically-motivated charges against @RepLaMonica.bsky.social should be dropped. She was simply doing her job and seeking answers for her constituents. The Trump Administration is trying to bully her into submission, but we will never bend the knee.
Trump is spending his time redecorating the White House to look like Mar-a-Lago instead of reopening the government or lowering your health care costs. Never forget, he’ll always put himself first, not you.
JUST IN: The White House has begun DEMOLISHING portions of the East Wing of the White House to build Trump’s $250 million ballroom — despite earlier claiming it wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing White House structure. (Washington Post)
It’s been two weeks since a South Shore resident showed @ramirez.house.gov, @chuygarcia.house.gov, & @jonathanjackson.house.gov, and me the damage ICE left behind after their militarized raid. What I saw is unacceptable. I haven’t stopped demanding accountability for these Gestapo-style tactics.
President Trump’s Big, Ugly Law cuts funding from hospitals, which particularly hurts rural hospitals. Rural hospitals and nursing homes are in jeopardy, including 9 in Illinois. Republicans are shutting down the government and our hospitals. @HouseDemocrats.bsky.social are fighting back.
Gun violence is a public health crisis that steals too many lives. I helped pass real solutions to gun violence, like CVI funding. But President Trump cut that funding and instead deployed the National Guard. Troops are not the answer to crime.
THIS IS NOT OKAY. ICE and federal agents fired pepper balls, tear gas canisters, and anti-riot chemicals at a crowd of protestors, children, seniors, and police officers. . ICE is out of control and a danger to our communities. Photo cred: Anthony Vazquez/Sun-Times
@HouseDemocrats.bsky.social are in D.C. every week doing the work. At a hearing, I heard from nurses, parents, and families nationwide. People will die if Republicans refuse to extend ACA tax credits. I’m fighting to keep healthcare affordable.
Believe it or not, Marjorie Taylor Greene and I agree—skyrocketing healthcare costs is unacceptable. Democrats have a plan to stop it. Republicans skipped town and shut down the government. No plan. No solutions. We can end Trump’s healthcare crisis—now.
