Honored to be with the Downstate Illinois Laborers District Council to dedicate their building to lifelong labor champion Glyn Ramage! A pillar of Illinois’ labor movement, Glyn has inspired so many. Now, this building will stand as a permanent testament to his incredible career.

Today, I met with seniors in Alton to hear how they’re being impacted by President Trump’s policies and the government shutdown. From delays at the Social Security Administration to protecting programs like Meal on Wheels, we need to make sure our seniors can still access the services they rely on.

Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating in IL-13! I hope your holiday is full of joy and light!

Democrats aren’t fighting to score political points -- we’re fighting to save the lives and livelihoods of working people across the country. We will not allow Republicans to go through with their plan to eliminate healthcare coverage for hardworking families in IL-13.

Since I’ve been home, I’ve been meeting with folks and hearing how they're being impacted by this shutdown. Here are some of their stories.

The Republican government shutdown is having serious impacts on local nonprofits that are facing program cuts and funding delays. Today, I met with nonprofit leaders in Springfield to hear about the challenges they’re facing as they continue their essential work in our communities.

I joined my colleagues from Illinois in seeking answers about just how much it’ll cost Illinoisans if Republicans allow the ACA tax credits to expire. Spoiler alert: it’s a lot.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. I stand with survivors in Illinois and across the country as we bring attention to this important issue.

Illinois moms juggle a lot - balancing work, childcare, and the family budget at a time when costs keep rising. Yesterday, the Democratic Women Caucus heard from advocates & experts about how this Republican healthcare crisis and government shutdown are increasing the burden on women and families.

Researchers at the University of Illinois’ Prairie Research Institute are developing innovative solutions to our top public health and national security challenges. The Trump administration cancelling their funding to retaliate against Democrats is unprecedented, unjustified, and unacceptable.

While House Republicans are sitting at home for the fourth week in a row, House Democrats are back in DC and standing united. We won’t give in to this administration hell-bent on ripping healthcare away from working people.

I met with air traffic controllers at Willard Airport in Savoy who are working without pay because of the government shutdown. This shutdown has worsened staffing shortages and created flight delays across the country. Republicans need to come to the table to reach a deal to end this crisis.

We’re demanding that Secretary Collins stop weaponizing this shutdown. By ignoring our requests for casework assistance, you’re not hurting us – you’re hurting America’s veterans and their families.

Democratic lawmakers accuse VA Secretary Collins of ‘weaponizing’ the shutdown and ignoring requests to assist constituents

Democratic lawmakers accused VA leaders of “weaponizing” the shutdown by ignoring requests to assist veterans and their families in their districts.

🚨The Trump administration just decimated the Dept of Ed office in charge of special education. These employees do essential work to ensure that children with disabilities receive the resources they need to succeed in school. They must be reinstated.

Amid shutdown, Trump administration guts department overseeing special education

Multiple sources tell NPR that as part of the Trump administration's latest reduction-in-force, the U.S. Department of Education has gutted the office that handles special education.
