Access to healthy, affordable food is the foundation for strong families and strong communities. When food assistance is cut, kids go hungry, seniors go without meals, and local food banks strain to keep up. We have a responsibility to protect the programs that keep people fed.

Yesterday, I was honored to re-visit the site of the 1908 Springfield Race Riot with @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social. As we commemorate 250 years of America, we must remember that also means being able to confront our history and do better. That’s what makes America Great.
ACA enrollment is down 13% this year because premiums have doubled in costs. 5 million people lost coverage because they can no longer afford to keep it. Restoring the tax credits Trump and Congressional Republicans cut is the least we can do to right our health care system.

My team helped Lisa and her nephew get back $394,000 that the federal government owed them in long-delayed Social Security back payments. Her story is a special one and I’m so honored our team was able to step in when she needed it most.
The strain on family budgets is real — gas, utilities, groceries, healthcare. A new analysis shows those costs add up to more than $2,000 per household this year alone.

The House has done its job and I urge the Senate to send this to the President’s desk.
ICYMI: I wrote an op-ed with @RepDustyJohnson urging the Senate to pass Year-round E15. It’s a win-win for America. It lowers prices at the pump, expands markets for our farmers, and brings much-needed certainty to the farm economy.
Affordability remains a top concern for American families and President Trump's financial disclosure shows he earned $1.4 billion from crypto ventures in 2025 alone — while everyday costs squeeze families.

Today, those hard-fought rights are under attack. We won't stop fighting to protect the freedom of every worker to organize and bargain for a fair deal.
Ninety-one years ago, the National Labor Relations Act became law, guaranteeing workers the right to organize and collectively bargain for better pay, stronger benefits, and safer workplaces.
ATTENTION IL-13 🚨
As temperatures continue to rise this weekend, let's make sure we’re staying cool. Remember to stay hydrated, avoid direct sun and check on your neighbors.

The House has done its job. Now it's time for the Senate to pass it and get it to the President's desk. I wrote an op-ed with my Republican colleague Rep. Dusty Johnson to urge action.
Year-round E15 is a win-win for America. It lowers prices at the pump, expands markets for our farmers, and brings much-needed certainty to the farm economy.
July is Disability Pride Month, when we celebrate the disabled community and recognize their countless contributions to our nation! Let’s keep working together to build a more inclusive world.
I’m deeply grateful to DAV National Commander and the nearly one million DAV members and Auxiliary for this recognition. It’s a privilege to support the mission of keeping our nation’s promises to veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors.
Yesterday, I was honored to be recognized by the Disabled American Veterans as a 2026 House Legislator of the Year. I was also extraordinarily proud to have Omar — my Senior Legislative Assistant – receive a Special Recognition Award honoring House staff.
As families prepare for summer gatherings, many are feeling the strain of higher food costs. Prices for everyday staples — from fresh produce to cookout favorites — continue to rise, making it harder for households to stretch their grocery budgets.
On July 2, 1964, the Civil Rights Act was signed into law, banning racial segregation in public places and racial discrimination. As we celebrate 62 years of this landmark legislation, we should continue to work together to advance equality and justice for all.
