At a time when we are seeing SNAP benefits cut for our most needy, and right before Thanksgiving, this is a great opportunity to support our local communities and help those in need. Please consider joining Indivisible Elk Grove Township this Saturday.

When I am in Congress, I will never hesitate to stand up for our youth, and ensure justice for those that would do them harm.

Congratulations to Congresswoman Grijalva on her long-overdue swearing-in today. It will be nice to see the House get back to work and with her vote finally seeing the release of the Epstein files go to the floor for a vote.

With inflation and the cost of living continuing to rise, now health care premiums will skyrocket too. I am very disappointed that Senator Durbin has once again let us down. We need new leadership in Congress that will fight back against Trump, and will only be focused on you.

I am extremely disappointed that some of our Senate Democrats caved and voted with Republicans, giving up the fight for our healthcare. After such a strong performance in last weekβs elections, Democrats finally had hope! It made no sense to fold now!

In our community, weβve seen families torn apart, loved ones disappeared by masked men, and protestors thrown to the ground.
I wonβt stop fighting for compassion, dignity, and justice. In Congress, Iβll fight to end ICEβs reign of terror. No one should live in fear.

I'm calling on Senate Democrats to remain strong! This "not a deal" that is being considered for a vote tonight will culminate in detrimental harm. There is no deal without the ACA subsidies included. Illinois Senate Democrats better vote NO!

Republicans need to come to the table and stop playing politics with SNAP benefits, health care, and our ability to travel.

This administration still refuses to compromise. Now in addition to cutting SNAP benefits and causing health care premiums to rise, they are now threatening air travel on the cusp of Thanksgiving.

and millions of Americans are seeing their SNAP benefits cut and health care premiums rise. This is a grotesque abuse of power and betrayal of the American people, and we need new leadership in Congress that will stand up and hold this administration accountable.

Thank you to the Cook County Democratic Party for hosting us at their annual reception last week. It was a pleasure meeting with folks, and the energy in the room was fantastic! People are ready to take on this administration, and thatβs exactly what Iβll do in Congress.

Our communities standing tall in the face of bigotry and hate is what makes America great. Our country is worth fighting for.

With families hurting, Iβm calling on Republicans to come to the table and end the shutdown.

Republicans are refusing to budge β keeping the government closed so they can fund tax cuts for the wealthy and increase health care costs for us. New premiums became available on the exchanges this week. I invite you to share in the comments below how that will affect you.

Last week, we celebrated Diwali! It is a time to celebrate light, renewal, and the triumph of good. I was fortunate to attend a celebration in my neighborhood with friends and family. Hereβs to wishing joy and peace to all! Happy Diwali!

Iβm running for Congress because we need real leadership β not an administration that is breaking the law at every turn. I hope youβll join me in the fight.

It is terrifying, and a disgrace to see ICE agents arresting people in Illinois while hiding their identities. As County Commissioner, I sponsored legislation calling on ICE agents to remove their masks in Cook County β and Iβll keep fighting to protect our communities in Congress.

Huge thank you to the thousands of people who turned up in the 8th congressional district today to the No Kings rallies! I was happy to join thousands of people in Schaumburg, Elgin, and Arlington Heights. Thank you for all of the incredible conversations today!
