Last week, I passed an amendment to stop the Trump Administration from cutting staffing, hours, or services at VA’s suicide prevention hotline. Veterans, servicemembers, and loved ones: call 988-1, text 838255, or chat here for 24/7, confidential crisis support: www.veteranscrisisline.net

My new bill would finally require insurance companies to cover IVF and other fertility care. Read more: underwood.house.gov/media/press-...

There is no food, no medicine, no fuel, and no baby formula. Gaza is starving, and we must use every tool we have to save lives.

NEW: With @raskin.house.gov, @keating.house.gov, @foushee.house.gov, and @balint.house.gov, I’m leading 92 members in urging the administration to ensure the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza. Innocent civilian lives can be saved. jayapal.house.gov/2025/06/04/j...

Juneteenth is a day of freedom actualized! Not freedom promised, but the actual opportunity to chart our own course and live our fully realized dreams.

Don’t listen to what Republicans say, watch what they do.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govJun 18(source)

Proud to join my friend Charles Johnson, founder of 4Kira4Moms, and a powerful group of advocates to share more about our work to end the maternal health crisis and pass the Momnibus.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govJun 18(source)

GOOD NEWS: The House passed my bill, the Baby Changing on Board Act! We’re making sure every new Amtrak train has a baby changing table for traveling families.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govJun 17(source)

We made a sacred promise to our veterans that we would take care of them when they returned home. Donald Trump and House Republicans are breaking that promise by slashing VA benefits to fund tax breaks for billionaires.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govJun 17(source)

Social Security and Medicare are programs that generations of Americans have counted on for retirement income and their health care. They belong to us all, and my colleagues in the Senate need to stand with @housedemocrats.bsky.social to defend and support them for generations to come.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govJun 15(source)

Water is the foundation of a healthy community. I’m working to secure more federal funding for the Grand Prairie Water Commission to bring Lake Michigan water to the 14th District. This project will make sure our community has a sustainable water source for generations to come!

🚨EXCLUSIVE: MAGA is losing their minds over today’s Daily Mic Drop - where top Democrats have joined together to convince Americans in every state that Trump’s Big Ugly Bill is a disaster for our country. The fight is far from over and the bill could still tank in the Senate:

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govJun 14(source)

Donald Trump’s throwing himself a military birthday parade using MILLIONS of our taxpayer dollars. I passed an amendment demanding a public report itemizing ALL of the costs. The American people have a right to know how their taxpayer dollars are being spent.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govJun 13(source)

Fertility services like IVF can cost thousands of dollars out of pocket. Republicans just voted to make our troops pay even more.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govJun 12(source)

Republicans' obsession with culture wars hurts our readiness for real wars. It’s foolish, it’s shortsighted, and it’s making us less safe. Watch our debate on the defense funding bill here: www.youtube.com/live/tnrcCx7...

"We're not talking about luxuries here. We're talking about bananas and carrots. You can't say that you care about kids and then take away that basics that let them grow up to be healthy." @underwood.house.gov and Dems are fighting to keep food on the tables of working families.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govJun 11(source)

To my Republican colleagues: You can't say that you care about kids and then take away the basics that help them grow up to be healthy.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govJun 11(source)

Don’t listen to what Republicans say, watch what they do.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govJun 11(source)

House Republicans funding bill will raise costs, slash investments to rural communities, and tear food away from hungry kids and pregnant women. All to hand a massive tax break to billionaires. TODAY at 10AM ET @democrats-appropriations.house.gov are fighting back: www.youtube.com/live/N2bbh7-...

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govJun 10(source)

We made a sacred promise to our servicemembers that when they came home, we would take care of them. Trump and House Republicans are breaking that promise by attacking veterans’ benefits and care.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govJun 10(source)

@maxwellfrost.bsky.social joined us in Joliet for a community conversation this weekend and almost everyone had the same question: “What can I do?” Right now, we need to keep the pressure on the Senate to defeat this Republican Tax Scam.
