Four years ago today, Russia invaded Ukraine in an unprovoked act of aggression.
As we mark this solemn anniversary, I continue to stand in solidarity with the brave Ukrainian people.

22,000 of my constituents in Central and Southern Illinois have seen their health care premiums skyrocket since Republicans let the ACA tax credits expire at the end of 2025. It’s time for Senate Republicans to pass the House bill to extend them.
Did you know that jazz legend Miles Davis was born and raised in the Metro East? For today’s #BlackHistoryMonth highlight, learn more about Davis’ upbringing in Illinois and his influence on America’s music scene. ⬇️
It was great to visit Riverbend Head Start in Alton this week to shine a light on how important these programs are to local families. For working families in my district and across the country, Head Start is a lifeline and I’ll always fight to ensure it gets the federal resources it needs.
This is a win for the American people. Today’s SCOTUS decision is not only a necessary check to rein in the Trump Administration’s executive overreach, but it is also a step to deliver real relief for working families and farmers in my district who have suffered because of the president’s trade war.
Today’s #BlackHistoryMonth highlight is the one and only Jackie Joyner-Kersee! Jackie Joyner-Kersee is an Olympic medalist, born and raised in East St. Louis. She is not only a trailblazing athlete, but also a champion for her community through her JJK Foundation.
My team is holding our monthly mobile office hours TOMORROW! Catch them in your community to learn more about how we can help you navigate the federal government. Details below:
I was honored to receive the National Association of Community Health Centers 2026 Community Health Advocate Award! Community Health Centers are a lifeline in underserved and rural communities, providing access to affordable primary care. I’m proud to be their champion in Congress!
I was excited to visit students at Riverbend Head Start today! As the Trump Administration threatens funding for Head Start, today’s visit emphasized why we must keep fighting to protect this program that provides quality, affordable childcare for families in Illinois and nationwide.
Ramadan Mubarak! I’m wishing a peaceful and reflective Ramadan to everyone observing the holy month in IL-13 and across the globe.
Today, I announced $200,000 in new federal funding for the Gillespie Police Department. I was proud to secure these resources that will help Gillespie make long overdue tech upgrades that support public safety in the community.
Happy Lunar New Year to all those celebrating in IL-13 and around the world!
We need serious solutions – not empty slogans – to bring down the cost of living. Check out my op-ed with Rep. Chrissy Houlahan to learn more about our brand-new New Dems Affordability Agenda. www.foxnews.com/opinion/were...
Happy Presidents’ Day! Today, we honor the leaders who have shaped America in our country’s highest office and carried our nation through trials and triumph. Their legacies inspire us to carry on the never-ending work of our democracy.
I’m proud to receive a 100% on the #humanescorecard! As an animal lover and dog mom, I will always fight to protect our furry friends from cruelty and abuse.
Happy Valentines’ Day #IL13! 💕
ICYMI: I joined Julie Mason to talk about my new bill to expand access to mental health care in underserved communities. My More Behavioral Health Providers Act is a commonsense strategy to help recruit and retain psychologists, social workers, and nurse practitioners that serve our rural areas.
Happy Birthday President Lincoln! As the representative of Lincoln’s hometown, I think often of his legacy and his seminal words at Gettysburg that called on Americans to safeguard their government “of the people, by the people, for the people.”
They ring especially true today.
This dangerous, anti-science move by the Trump Administration will set environmental protection in the U.S. back decades.
This is exactly why I’m fighting for Farm Bill provisions that invest in conservation, carbon capture, and renewable energy solutions.
The @newdems.bsky.social Affordability Agenda isn’t just about helping Americans get by, it’s about helping them get ahead. It’s about putting the American Dream back in reach for working people. Here’s the plan:
