President Trump is holding South Siders’ Red Line hostage during the GOP shutdown—blocking 25,000 jobs and economic opportunity. I refuse to bend the knee to a bully in the White House. Our community will not be his bargaining chip.
President Trump is using ICE and the National Guard in Chicago to terrorize our immigrant communities. 
 Let me be clear: we don’t need fear tactics, we need investment and solutions. I’ll fight every attempt to turn our city into a political stunt at the expense of our families.
ICE doesn’t belong in Chicago. Neither does the National Guard. Our communities need investment and compassion—not intimidation and fearmongering. President Trump must restore violence prevention funding which is proven to reduce crime and build up communities, not drag them down.
Black women face a 41% higher breast cancer mortality rate than white women. Young Black women are hit hardest. That’s why we need the Nancy Gardner Sewell Multi-Cancer Early Detection Act, led by my friend @sewell.house.gov. We can’t afford to wait.
PsiQuantum is breaking ground at the Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park to build America’s first million-qubit quantum computer—right here in #IL02. This is about jobs, innovation, and positioning Illinois to lead the future. Learn more about the project: buff.ly/M7KQUHZ
Families are already getting notices of skyrocketing premium costs. If Republicans don’t extend the ACA tax credits now, millions of Americans will pay more or lose coverage. Republicans rushed to extend tax cuts for billionaires—where’s their urgency for working families?
Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House—but are missing in action to keep our government open. @housedemocrats.bsky.social stand ready to work across the aisle to lower healthcare costs. I’ll always fight for hardworking families, not billionaires. #GOPShutdown #HealthcareIsARight
Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House—yet they’re driving us toward a shutdown at midnight tonight.   Americans will pay the price for Republicans’ chaos. Democrats came ready to govern. It’s time Republicans do the same.
Democrats and I came prepared to do our job — to keep the government open and lower health care costs. President Trump and Republicans fled town. Americans deserve leaders who put them first, not politics.
I received reports that children, babies, and mothers are being held at the ICE center in Broadview in unsafe, unsanitary conditions. These are little babies, for crying out loud! ICE must be held accountable for any inhumane treatment.
Last night, ICE stormed the South Shore with armed raids that terrorized our community and shook our neighborhood. These reckless tactics don’t make us safer—they sow fear and distrust. Chicago deserves better. ICE and federal troops need to get out of Chicago.
Federal troops in Chicago, Portland, and Memphis will not solve crime. We can build safer communities by investing in gun safety policies, jobs, strong schools, and healthcare—not intimidation from President Trump’s administration.
My heart is with the survivors and families who lost loved ones in the shooting and fire in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Places of worship should be a sanctuary and safe from violence. Gun violence is preventable, and we need commonsense federal gun reform now.
America is supposed to be a beacon of democracy. But ICE’s abuses of power under President Trump only spreads fear and trauma. I will continue to fight alongside Democrats for an immigration system that respects people’s dignity and upholds justice.
