Ensuring pilots have access to mental health care makes our skies safer. Read my op-ed on my bipartisan legislation that recently passed the House of Representatives: www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/17/o...

Pilots and air traffic controllers who seek mental health care are unfairly penalized.

Americans have a right to express themselves about government policy. Federal officers should never respond to First Amendment activities with physical force or escalating violence. This does not make our community safer. chicago.suntimes.com/live/ice-age...

This does nothing to make our community safer. The Trump Admin's goal is to stoke fear and cause confusion. Kristi Noem went to Elgin not out of concern for Illinoisans, but because she wanted to make a propaganda video. This is a performative stunt. Shameful. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

ICE raids Elgin, Illinois neighborhood early Tuesday; several arrested

Several people were arrested in an early morning ICE raid in Elgin, Illinois, Tuesday, which was shared on social media by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

Administrator Zeldin has recklessly slashed hundreds of EPA grants that keep our air and water clean. The loss of these critical grants will undoubtedly accelerate the effects of climate change. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

"The risk is way too high and the effort is way too large," said one environmental group founder about federal grants.
