I met with constituents to hear how their costs are increasing because of the Republican healthcare crisis — specifically because of their failure to extend critical ACA tax credits. These impacts are real, they’re devastating, and they’re happening right now. Congress needs to act.

I am hopeful all parties will seize this moment to imagine — and to build — a better future for Israelis, Palestinians, and all people across the Middle East.
This agreement must not simply halt the violence and hunger, but pave the way for a viable two-state solution, the rebuilding of Gaza, and the establishment of governance rooted in peace, stability, and human dignity.
True peace cannot be achieved without an end to the profound suffering of the Palestinian people. Thousands of innocent lives — many of them children — have been lost, and communities devastated.
Once the first phase of this agreement is complete, we can begin working toward a lasting peace — one that guarantees Israel’s enduring security and ensures that the horrors of October 7th are never repeated.
The families of the hostages spent countless hours praying and hoping for the safety of their loved ones. Soon, that nightmare may finally come to an end.
The agreement that has been reached centers on three critical priorities: an immediate end to the war, the release of the remaining hostages, and the urgent delivery of humanitarian aid to those in Gaza.
After more than two years, peace is finally on the horizon for both the Israeli and Palestinian peoples. 🧵
So long as our federal workers are working without pay, I’m not accepting my paycheck either.
Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are REFUSING to address the manufactured healthcare crisis that they created.
During this shutdown, I want our veterans to know that many critical VA services remain open — including health care and the suicide hotline. ⬇️
I met with my Vets Advisory Council today to hear directly from folks on the ground how the veteran community – and the VA workforce – are being impacted by this shutdown. We need a bipartisan deal to reopen the government, protect healthcare, and ensure veterans can access the services they need.
The Trump administration’s decision to DELAY the clean up of PFAS from the drinking water in and around Scott Air Force Base is unacceptable. Our military servicemembers and communities near the base deserve to know that the water coming out of their tap is clean and safe.
The President of the United States just threatened to arrest Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson. We can't stay silent in the face of this dangerous, anti-democratic rhetoric.
Huge thank you to everyone who took the time out of their evening to join my telephone town hall last night! We had nearly 12,000 folks on the call!
Over the summer, Republicans wasted no time voting to extend massive tax breaks for billionaires that were set to expire at the end of this year.
Why are they now claiming that it's too much to extend tax credits to help working families afford their health insurance?
It’s Day 7️⃣ of the Republican government shutdown.
TONIGHT: I’ll answer your questions about the Republican shutdown and share what Democrats are fighting for on behalf of working families. To join, dial 855-531-1091 at 6pm CT!
Today, I held an emergency meeting of my Ag Advisory Council to talk about how the government shutdown and the Farm Bill’s expiration is impacting farmers in Central and Southern Illinois.
Join me TONIGHT for a telephone town hall about the Republican government shutdown ⬇️
