Americans should not be punished with health care funding cuts because of who they voted for—yet my constituents are now at elevated risk of disease because of President Trump’s cuts to CDC.

Illinois attorney general reaches agreement to protect $1.4 billion in education funding The Trump administration last year tried to require state and local education agencies to sign a document affirming compliance with the administration's interpretation of Title VI of the Civil Rights ...

Big win for Illinois students and schools.

Attorney General Raoul led a lawsuit against the Trump Administration and saved the funding that they tried to take away from low-income and rural students, special education services, and teachers.

The SAVE America Act is just the same racism, misogynistic trash, different decade.

It is Republican's latest attempt to intimidate and suppress votes.

I am voting NO to protect our elections and I urge my colleagues to join me.

With the SAVE America Act, Republicans are taking voting rights away from 69 million women. Here's how:

National Guard troops were quietly withdrawn from some U.S. cities The deployments encountered repeated legal setbacks that stymied President Donald Trump’s show of force in Los Angeles, Chicago and Portland, Oregon.

For the first time, crickets from Donald Trump.

After losing in court multiple times to Illinois and other states, the National Guard was finally quietly pulled out of our streets.

The pressure is working, and we’ve got to keep at it.

Alex Pretti.
Renee Good.
Keith Porter.
Silverio Villegas González.

One life taken by Trump's violent, masked secret police is too many.

Republicans need to come to the table and help us rein them in.

Secretary Noem has not appeared before our committee since last year.

That was before her agents killed Renée Good and Alex Pretti. Before Greg Bovino terrorized my constituents during Operation Midway Blitz. Before a 5-year-old boy was used as bait.

So where is she today?

A weaponized FBI raided an election center in Georgia last month… on President Trump’s order.

Republicans’ response? To double down on his conspiracy theories and hold a series of EIGHT hearings to justify them.

President Trump promised his immigration enforcement would go after the “worst of the worst.”

But his Administration’s own data shows that is a lie.

ICE is going after innocent people, just to meet the President’s cruel enforcement quotas.

My new bills work together to create new farmers’ markets in our communities and help families put fresh food on their tables.

Pritzker signs health care legislation Gov. JB Pritzker signed a pair of health care-related bills Tuesday that he said would put more controls on the

No Illinoisan should have to choose between their health and their wallet.

That’s why Illinois Democrats took on industry predators by passing bills that lower the cost of prescription drugs, expand access to care, and protect local rural pharmacies. 👏💙

Just because Trump is a racist at heart, doesn’t mean this should be overlooked or normalized.

This behavior during Black History Month is a calculated choice and a disgrace coming from the head of our nation.

@ Donald Trump, you'll never be half the leader the Obamas are.

I joined Democrats outside of ICE HQ to demand an end to the violence DHS has unleashed on our streets.

I will not vote to fund any of the terror and destruction we are seeing across the country. DHS is out of control, & this rogue agency must be reined in & Noem must be removed – or impeached!

Voters deserve to go to the polls knowing their votes will be accurately counted.

President Trump is trying to undermine the will of the American people and future elections.

Trump’s illegal deployment of the National Guard cost Illinois $21M and nearly $496M nationwide—money that could have gone to schools or health care. Instead, it was burned on a political stunt.

The average Illinois family spent $1,781 more in 2025 compared to 2024, due to Trump's inflationary tariffs.

To bring #inflation down, Speaker Johnson & the Republican majority must end these reckless tariffs for good.

Honoring Black History Month in Illinois.

Black history is American history.

At a time when the federal government is whitewashing history, it’s important to recognize and celebrate the legacy of Black Illinoisans who shape our state and its path forward.

We wouldn’t be here today without their leadership and voices.

Democrats are ready to avoid a shutdown, but the DHS bill needs serious work. I’m glad that the White House is working with Leader Schumer to avoid a partial government shutdown and rein in ICE’s campaign of terror.

Americans are demanding change to ICE’s conduct—we must deliver for them.

Sonya Massey’s murder was an appalling and senseless act of violence — one that strikes at the very core of our humanity. While no sentence can undo the harm or fully account for the devastation her family endured, I hope today's sentencing brings her loved ones some measure of peace.

This week, DPI Chair Hernandez teamed up with @latinovictoryus.bsky.social, @traindems.bsky.social, and @weareunidosus.bsky.social to train aspiring candidates and local leaders in the Latino community.

We’re working to ensure that every Illinoisan is represented at every level of government.

New SNAP work requirements go into effect Feb. 1, threatening recipient eligibility Article Summary H.R. 1, or the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law last July, changes the work requirements

The same “Big Beautiful Bill” that gave massive tax breaks to the rich will leave 340,000 Illinoisans left wondering where their next meal will come from in 4 days.

What about seniors, veterans, and parents not being able to buy food is "making America great"?

JD Vance post on X on 1/28/26: "Watching Tammy Duckworth obsessively interrupt Marco Rubio during this hearing is like watching Forest Gump argue with Isaac Newton. Thank God we have a Secretary of State who knows his facts AND has the patience of Job. Great job, @SecRubio."

Illinois voters sent Tammy Duckworth to the U.S. Senate to ask tough questions and demand answers.

Sneering at her for doing her job is vile.

That kind of contempt says everything about JD Vance.

Secretary Noem has blood on her hands. Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good are dead. Silverio Villegas González from Chicago is dead. Families are torn apart as loved ones are snatched from homes, schools, work, and streets.

I am leading 160 colleagues in Congress to impeach Secretary Noem.
