Growing up, I saw how a union allowed my grandparents to build a bright future for our family.
By attacking the NLRB, Trump is making it easier for corporations to union-bust, stall collective bargaining and undermine labor rights at the expense of working families like mine.
In just one week, Trump has gone after our federal workforce & paused federal funding that could impact healthcare, school lunches and countless projects in our district.
If you live in IL13 and have been impacted by these orders, I want to hear your story.
That’s why I’ve joined a letter to the new OMB director demanding clarity and a detailed list of projects being paused.
I’m also in touch with local governments in the district to see what outreach they have received since this announcement.
We need answers.
Projects such as the Springfield Rail Improvement Project, Florida Avenue reconstruction in Urbana, and the Bradley Avenue grade separation in Champaign were all set to receive funding.
Now, we're left with more questions than answers.
We need to know how this will affect SNAP benefits, Pell Grants, Medicaid payments to states, health care providers and local projects.
Trump’s freeze on federal funding is reckless and threatens vital resources that local governments, schools, and working families—especially in my district—rely on.
Here are my thoughts on the Trump Administration’s order to freeze grant funding for American communities 🧵
Tax season has begun in Illinois! Filing your taxes is never fun, but it can be less stressful if you use the new IRS Free File tool. To learn more, visit:
AI has immense potential for agriculture, with digital innovations to help farmers increase efficiency, reduce costs and improve sustainability. I loved seeing some of these new technologies in action at the UIUC AIFARMS Institute!
I'm worried about President Trump's efforts to limit communication from agencies like the CDC and FDA. I encourage people to turn to Illinois state resources, like the Illinois Department of Public Health, for reliable, nonpartisan health information from experts. www.bnd.com/news/politic...
I stand in solidarity with the UFCW and @rwdsu.bsky.social workers at REI who are fighting for a fair contract. ✊
I'm leading a letter with @repdangoldman.bsky.social and @laborcaucus.bsky.social calling on REI to stop dragging their hiking boots and bargain in good faith.
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember and honor the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust and the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution.
We must continue to confront antisemitism and hate wherever it appears.
President Trump has placed the U.S. alongside Iran, Libya, and Yemen as the only nations not in the Paris Climate Accords.
America should be leading the charge on a clean energy transition, not standing on the sidelines.
With the new Congress underway, passing a bipartisan Farm Bill is top of my mind. As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, I'm going to keep pushing for the policies that Illinois family farmers need in this critical legislation.
12 years ago today, the Defense Department lifted the ban on women in combat. Let's celebrate the female service members who have served our country with honor, courage and dedication.
We need answers on how Trump's freeze on federal hiring will impact the VA. ⬇️
This judge made the right decision. Birthright citizenship is a constitutional cornerstone. Rejecting this fundamental principle only takes us backwards, not forwards.
The consolidation of industries like grocery chains, steelmaking and pharmacies is driving up prices by reducing competition. I'm ready to hold corporations accountable and lower prices for working families.
I’m deeply concerned about the impact this closure will have on my constituents. Planned Parenthood provides essential healthcare—far beyond abortion care—to countless women. We must ensure they have the resources to continue supporting women in these uncertain times.
