I am hopeful the courts will swiftly block this unlawful order. The USPS must remain free from political intervention and empowered to carry out its sacred mission: delivering every ballot, on time and without interference, for every American who chooses to vote by mail. (3/3)
It’s not only unconstitutional – it ignores more than 150 years of safe, reliable voting by mail. In 2024, over 99% of mail-in ballots were delivered & counted successfully, thanks to Postal Service workers. Any policy that slows down or blocks valid ballots puts people’s votes at risk. (2/3)
President Trump’s latest executive order to restrict mail-in voting is a direct assault on Americans’ right to access the ballot box. (1/3)
Lawmakers should never use their access and influence to personally profit. By banning government officials from betting on political events on prediction market platforms my PREDICT Act will help prevent corruption and restore trust in Washington.
Passover commemorates the Jewish people’s exodus from slavery – a story of faith, freedom, and hope. As families in IL-13 gather around the Seder table, I’m wishing all a joyous celebration. Chag Pesach Sameach!
Gas prices are continuing to rise because of President Trump’s war of choice in the Middle East. Working people deserve better.
From innovative materials to lifesaving therapies, the biomanufacturing industry is making breakthroughs every day. As the representative of America’s Silicorn Valley, I’m proud to be introducing a bipartisan bill to drive more investment in this growing field!
And we’re not done yet. I’ll keep working alongside them to protect this progress and secure the long-term commitment Granite City deserves.
Throughout this process, I was proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with the USW to demand investment and opportunity – and to make clear that U.S. Steel could not turn its back on this community. This victory would not be possible without those workers.
After more than two years of relentless advocacy, Granite City Works is coming back to life. Blast Furnace B has officially restarted, and 500 workers have returned to the mill – once again producing the steel that helps power our nation.
As the shutdown continues, I want to thank the TSA officers continuing to show up every day to keep our skies safe.
Please know this – Democrats will keep fighting to put an end to this Republican shutdown.
Thank you to the President of Illinois State University, Dr. Aondover Tarhule, for stopping by my DC office! We had a great conversation about how we can expand access to affordable higher education and support institutions like ISU.
Republicans took away your health care to pay for billionaire tax breaks. Now they're going to kick even more Americans off their coverage to pay for war in the Middle East.

For folks traveling today experiencing long wait times, just know House Republicans had the perfect chance to put a stop to this chaos – but they refused.
I’m going to keep doing everything I can to ensure our TSA agents get their well-deserved paychecks.
To those who have continued to show up every day despite missing your paychecks: thank you. Your dedication kept our skies secure and our waters safe. I promise Democrats will do everything we can to deliver the relief you deserve.
But House Republicans wouldn’t even bring it up for a vote. Instead, they pushed a nonsensical bill they knew had no chance of passing the Senate. Their choice to continue the shutdown leaves countless public servants without pay for a seventh week in a row.
We had a common-sense, bipartisan plan that passed the Senate unanimously. It would have made sure TSA agents, Coast Guard members, and FEMA workers got paid. It was a plan Democrats had been demanding for weeks – and I was ready to support it.
Last night, House Republicans put their extreme agenda before the livelihoods of federal workers and the Americans who depend on them for essential government services.🧵
