House Republicans are playing a dangerous game with access to affordable healthcare. Their refusal to extend ACA funding threatens to cause premiums to skyrocket for millions. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and I are fighting to stop Republicans’ reckless attempt to dismantle our healthcare.
Republicans are marching our country toward a shutdown in 7 days. Here’s what that means for you: ❌ Longer lines at the airport ❌ Limited Social Security services ❌ Delayed veteran benefits ❌ Closed National Parks Everyday Americans pay the price—because they refused to negotiate.
📢 Did you know my office can assist you with federal agencies such as the IRS, Social Security, and the VA? From checking the status of your tax return to speeding up a passport application, we’re here to support you. 📍 Proudly serving all of IL-02 — contact us anytime: buff.ly/HRDQK0D
What does "land of liberty and justice for all" really mean? It means protecting everyone's rights—like due process and no unlawful searches—no matter one’s immigration status. That's the foundation of our democracy.
This, from a president who cares about "law and order"?    The Trump administration shut down an investigation into Border Czar, Tom Homan, who was caught on tape taking  $50,000 in cash. President Trump only cares about the law when it protects his own.
Border czar Tom Homan was caught on tape accepting a bag filled with $50,000 in cash from an undercover FBI agent in September 2024. Trump officials have shut down the bribery investigation.
I will not allow Republicans to divide us and distract us from the fight for healthcare for all Americans. The truth is, Republicans skipped town with a government shutdown looming in 8 days. They created a healthcare crisis and now refuse to fix it.
"Operation Midway Blitz" isn't about safety—it's about terrorizing our families and communities. Mass raids in our neighborhoods, at places of work, and churches are a direct assault on civil rights and due process. This is cruel and it has to stop.
I am hearing reports of ICE activity increasing in the area. Stay safe, and informed, and remember that regardless of your documentation status, you have rights. 👉🏾Know your rights. 🗞️Follow trusted news sources. 📹Record any ICE encounters.
This week, I joined 30+ manufacturing leaders at the @IMAToday.bsky.social's 7th Annual D.C. Fly-In. We discussed the future of Illinois manufacturing—from food and candy to vehicles and metal fabrication. Together, we’re strengthening our state’s economy.
I support legislation to hold ICE to the same high standards as local law enforcement.    Why are agents paid with YOUR tax dollars hiding their faces and grabbing people off the streets?     ICE’s dangerous actions must stop!
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents weren’t wearing body cameras during the deadly shooting of a Mexican immigrant last week in the suburbs because a program requiring them was scrapped by the Trump administration.
Fourteen years ago, we repealed the shameful "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Today, I proudly work with the @EqualityCaucus to honor our LGBTQ+ servicemembers & vets. Despite President Trump's efforts, we won't go back. Everyone deserves to serve our country openly and with pride.
14 years since the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and we’re still fighting against discrimination in our military under Trump’s trans troop ban. IMAGE: An American flag and a rainbow dog tag above the Congressional Equality Caucus logo.
Yesterday, I met Debbie — the mom of Autumn Joy who was stillborn. Debbie turned her pain into action to prevent stillbirths. I introduced the SHINE for Autumn Act with @usrepkathycastor.bsky.social & Rep. Young Kim to improve data & research around stillbirths. Every mother deserves hope.
President Trump’s ICE is treating people like ANIMALS — not human beings. This is not okay. This is not the America I know. This is deplorable. I’m fighting against this administration and its Gestapo tactics.
The widespread violations at ICE facilities across the nation represent a broken system. Instead of using fear, President Trump and Secretary Noem should focus on creating a humane and transparent immigration process. It is time for meaningful reform, not more intimidation.
Too many cancer diagnoses come too late. That's why I'm fighting for the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act. This bipartisan bill will expand access to early screenings for seniors & help turn the tide on this devastating disease.
RFK Jr. hijacked the Advisory Council on Immunization Practices, replacing vetted scientists with anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists. Secretary Kennedy is jeopardizing public health. This so-called "transparency" purge dismantles safeguards of our nation's healthcare system.
President Trump has renewed his threats of deploying the National Guard to Chicago after Memphis. Chicago doesn’t need a National Guard occupation. We need funding for proven solutions like community violence intervention programs — funding that President Trump gutted by $66 million.
