Unelected billionaires like Elon Musk may not suffer the consequences of a shutdown – but countless Americans will.
We need to pass a funding bill and ensure critical services remain operational.

After failing to meet its legal obligations to bargain with thousands of drivers and warehouse workers, Amazon has forced @teamsters.bsky.social to the picket lines.
I am proud to stand with striking Amazon Teamsters.
My team will be in Monticello, Staunton, East St. Louis, Carlinville, Virden and Edwardsville today for mobile office hours! Details below:
When the chronic backup at Exit 16 on I-64 went viral, I sent a letter urging IDOT to speed up work to add additional lanes. It's great that plans are underway to fix this safety issue! https://buff.ly/4gyaPnS
Today, I spoke from the House floor to honor Champaign-Urbana's own Robert Gao, who was selected as one of five National Student Poets! Robert's talent and artistry is an inspiration and I extend my heartfelt congratulations on this incredible achievement.
Earlier this year, SCOTUS put power over the VA into the hands of judges—rather than the agency experts who work with veterans every day.
We need answers on how this decision will impact the care our veterans rely on.
Two years ago, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act became law! This landmark legislation ensures pregnant and postpartum workers don't have to choose between their job and their health.
Tomorrow, my team will be hitting the road and hosting mobile office hours throughout #IL13! Bring your casework questions and learn how we can help you:
I'm alarmed by my colleagues' proposals to privatize VA health care. We should be investing in services for our veterans - not pushing them off to private providers.
We must break down barriers for women to access essential reproductive care.
I joined my Democratic Women's Caucus colleagues in calling on President Biden to implement his proposed rule that would strengthen insurance coverage for contraception.
This week, we passed the single largest expansion of VA long-term care services in decades. This legislation will support home-and community-based care, allowing disabled and aging veterans to live with dignity and independence.
Congrats Congresswoman Angie Craig on being elected to lead the House Ag Dems for the 119th Congress! Hailing from the Heartland, Angie is a staunch advocate for our rural communities and I'm excited to keep working together to deliver for Midwest farmers!
Privatization would be a disaster for rural communities across the country.
Instead of abandoning residents, we need solutions that improve service and ensure no one is left behind.
Today marks 50 years since the Safe Drinking Water Act was enacted. I'll continue working to invest in our water infrastructure ensure that every community in Central and Southern Illinois can trust that their water is clean and safe.
The news out of Madison is heartbreaking. I'm monitoring the situation and thinking of the families involved.
Americans can't keep living in fear of senseless gun violence.
Postmaster DeJoy has no business reducing mail processing capacity in areas that are already short staffed and struggling to receive mail on time. I'm proud to lead the bipartisan Protect Postal Performance Act to halt plans to downsize facilities in Champaign and Springfield.
ICYMI: I demanded answers from Postmaster General DeJoy about his plans to downsize facilities in Champaign and Springfield. We need to be improving our mail service – not worsening it.
Today, we remember the 20 first-graders and six educators killed at Sandy Hook Elementary 12 years ago. I join the Sandy Hook community in mourning this tragic loss and I remain committed to building a future where everyone can live free from gun violence.
Two years ago, the Respect for Marriage Act was signed into law – enshrining the right of all Americans to marry who they love.
As we celebrate this landmark bill, let's continue to support and uplift the LGBTQ+ community.
Hi Bluesky 👋
Stay tuned for updates on my work in Congress for the people of Central and Southern Illinois!
