ICYMI: Earlier this week, my bipartisan Mental Health in Aviation Act passed the House! This bill makes our skies safer by expanding access to mental health care for pilots and air traffic controllers.

On the 24th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, we remember the 2,977 Americans who lost their lives and honor the bravery of first responders who answered the call. We will never forget.

Political violence of any kind is unacceptable. This has to stop.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govSep 9(source)

I also joined Democrats in the Illinois delegation in demanding that President Donald Trump and the Pentagon suspend plans for deploying military personnel to Chicago. Hate has no home in Illinois.

Illinoisans don’t want masked, unidentified federal agents, including ICE, on our streets. That’s why I cosponsor the No Secret Police Act—to require officers to show ID and ban the use of homemade, non-tactical masks.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govSep 9(source)

The goal of President Trump’s “Operation Midway Blitz” isn't to reduce violence; it's to use authoritarian tactics to intimidate and bully Chicagoland communities. If this Administration truly cared about safety, it would stop illegally seizing federal funds from proven crime prevention programs.

The Israeli government must reject this dangerous proposal, which threatens its own democracy and would severely undermine the U.S.–Israel relationship. (2/2)

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govSep 3(source)

Smotrich’s annexation plan would violate international law, extinguish Palestinian's right to self-determination, and fuel regional instability. (1/2) www.timesofisrael.com/smotrich-pro...

Smotrich proposes annexing 82% of West Bank in bid to prevent Palestinian state

As UAE warns annexation a 'red line,' finance minister threatens PA with 'destruction' in plan that would isolate Palestinian population centers, leave them outside Israel

TONIGHT: Join my Tele-Town Hall at 6:00 pm CT. Bring your questions about my work in Washington and IL-06.

American lives are at risk because Secretary Kennedy is denying decades of research and guidance from health care leaders. The former CDC directors are correct: Secretary Kennedy’s actions are unacceptable, and every American should be alarmed. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Despite Speaker Johnson and President Trump’s efforts to hide the Epstein Files, Congress still has a chance to ensure their release. I’m signing a discharge petition on the House floor to force a vote to release the files because the American people deserve transparency.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govSep 1(source)

Happy Labor Day! Unions built the middle class. Protecting the right to organize helps workers secure higher wages, better benefits, and safer working conditions.

Meals on Wheels helps over 2.4 million seniors each year with home-delivered meals and other support services. This week, I met with DuPage County Senior Citizens Council volunteers who deliver meals to seniors in our community.
