Over 130,000 people in IL-06 are at risk of losing food assistance because of President Trump’s Budget Betrayal. Last week, I visited the West Suburban Community Pantry to hear about the impact the passage of the reconciliation package has on their distribution and support services.

Today marks the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This historic legislation prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. I will never stop fighting to make our country more accessible for all.

Earlier this month, I visited DuPage Pads in Downers Grove. My office secured Community Project Funding last year to build a safe, onsite playground space for families experiencing homelessness.

The consequences of President Trump’s actions have been devastating for civil servants at the EPA. Last week, I led 16 House Democrats in submitting a Freedom of Information Act request for details of EPA Administrator Zeldin’s implementation of the President’s executive orders and other actions.

Speaker Johnson is sending the House home until September, all in the name of protecting a pedophile. Why is he afraid of transparency?

This week marks the 30th anniversary of the 1995 Chicago Heat Wave. 739 lives were tragically lost. Climate change-fueled extreme weather events are far too frequent. We owe it to our grandchildren to change course and ensure that we have a habitable planet to pass on to them.

There is plenty of fraud and grift in the White House. We do not need any more, and we certainly don't need to risk Americans' hard-earned savings just so that crypto billionaires can get richer. I'm voting NO on the CLARITY Act.

But when terrorists in the Palestinian territories violate Israeli and international law, the United States can either side with the law or with the terrorists. There is no other option. I urge the Trump administration to follow President Biden's example and enforce the law. (3/3)

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJul 16(source)

The United States is the only country in the world with the power to enforce the global rule of law. We are not always perfect, and our authority is certainly weaker now than it was a year ago. (2/3)

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJul 16(source)

The death of Sayfollah Musallet is tragic and heartbreaking. I supported President Biden's sanctions against extremist settlers in the West Bank who commit violence against Palestinians. President Trump's rollback of these sanctions has fueled further violence. (1/3)

The GENIUS and CLARITY Acts will sow the seeds of the next financial crisis and enable corruption at the highest levels of government. They make it easier for criminals to profit and jeopardize the savings of hardworking Americans.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJul 15(source)

Prairie Food Co-Op is officially open in Lombard! I was thrilled to help secure $750,000 in Community Project Funding to construct and equip DuPage County's first community owned grocery store, which will generate economic benefits for our community. Congratulations!
