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.
President Trump praises veterans in speeches but threatens their care in a shutdown political game. On Veterans of Foreign Wars Day, I stand with our heroes and recommit to ensuring their healthcare, housing, and family support.
Today we mark Food Stamp Act Day. Amid relentless attacks from President Trump and Republicans, I stand firm in defending SNAP. This program is about dignity, health, and opportunity—ensuring families across our nation never face hunger alone.
For 30 years, South Suburban Action Conference has led the fight for the South Suburban Airport—through marches, rallies & advocacy. This week, I was honored to join their 39th Annual Fundraiser under the theme Reclaim Our Time and Peace. We are Southland Strong, and our time is now. ✈️💪🏾
Americans face crushing premium hikes—hundreds or even thousands of dollars more. Democrats put forward a plan to shield people from these costs, but Trump ordered Republicans to walk away. I will always protect your healthcare and your wallet.
I am enraged by the stories coming out of Broadview’s ICE facility. Protestors are being treated like animals--all because they’re demanding answers & speaking out for our immigrant neighbors. Chicagoans deserve better than fear & cruelty—we need an immigration system rooted in dignity & compassion
One of the most uplifting parts of my job is helping constituents. Recently, my office worked with David Ernest to ensure his clemency was honored—allowing him to walk free. Watch his powerful story of freedom and justice.
President Trump & Republicans had a choice: lower grocery costs for families or give tax breaks for the top 0.1%. They chose billionaires. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and I are fighting for policies that put working people first, not the ultra-rich.
The shutdown clock is ticking —12:01 AM Oct. 1. Republicans run the House, Senate, and White House. They chose to walk away, not govern. If the government shuts down, it won’t be an accident—it will be on Republicans.
I joined the South Shore Chamber to walk 71st Street and hear about their work to redevelop vacant properties, support small businesses, and build community ownership. I’m excited to support this vision for the South Shore and can’t wait to see the impact it has for our community.
On Monday, I joined local entrepreneurs at Recycled Modern, StruggleBeard Bakery, and The Silverroom. We discussed the real challenges small businesses face, and how I can support them as they grow and strengthen our communities.
My office held Mobile Office Hours at the Veterans Assistance Commission of Kankakee County. This is one of our many community partnerships to assist veterans and their families with VA benefits, service records, Social Security, healthcare, passports, and more.
Housing affordability is top of mind for families across Illinois. This week, I joined Illinois REALTORS for their “Let’s Talk Real Estate” Townhall to discuss the market, challenges, and solutions that strengthen our communities.
Republican cuts to SNAP affects all of us: SNAP cuts ➡️ Farmers lose business ➡️ Rural communities suffer ➡️ Grocery prices rise Trump’s trade war already cost farmers overseas clients—now Republicans are making it harder at home. We must support the people who feed America. buff.ly/LaeAWkr
Donald Trump loves to brag about ratings. Here’s a rating he can’t spin: 61% of Americans oppose his “Big Beautiful Bill.” Only 39% favor it. The verdict is clear—Americans think his bill is UGLY.
Outside the ICE Broadview center, I joined our community in demanding answers. Behind locked doors and boarded windows, too much remains hidden. Dignity, transparency, and accountability are not optional—they are owed to every person regardless of immigration status.
Families are already stretched thin by high prices at the grocery store and gas pump. Republicans' failure to save health care tax credits means 2026 premiums will soar an average of 75%. Families, seniors, and rural communities will be hit the hardest.
