One year after Trump passed his Big Ugly Bill, Americans are seeing the truth: massive cuts to healthcare, education, and food assistance while giving tax breaks to the wealthiest.
That’s why I’m fighting to Repeal the Whole Damn Thing and build an economy that works for everyone.

As a member of Congress, I have the honor of nominating candidates who meet the eligibility requirements to the United States Military Service Academies. If you or someone you know is interested in attending a U.S. Service Academy, we encourage you to apply for a congressional nomination.
Upcoming travel plans? Make sure your passport is up-to-date.
If you’re dealing with passport delays or issues with federal agencies, my office is here to help you get back on track.
Despite the challenges created by the President and Congressional Republicans, I have been proud to advance legislation addressing three issues affecting us back home.
Thinking about applying? There's still time!
My office is accepting applications for our Fall 2026 Congressional Internship. This is a great opportunity for students and recent graduates to gain firsthand experience in a Congressional office and learn about the legislative process.
This Republican Congress has created one crisis after another, and it can be hard to keep up. Here are three things happening in Washington that are impacting us back home.
People across IL-06 are falling victim to crypto scams every day, with seniors and other vulnerable Americans too often being the targets.
That's why I introduced the bipartisan Stop Crypto ATM Scams Act to strengthen protections for consumers and hold scammers accountable.
The Congressional Republican agenda is the definition of ‘“America Last.” They have consistently voted to make America sicker, poorer, and less safe.
The CFPB was created to protect consumers, not political interests. No one is entitled to dodge accountability when families deserve answers. That's why I made it clear: Russ Vought is failing as the CFPB director.
Last month, I traveled to Brussels and Strasbourg. European government officials made it clear to me that U.S. standing abroad has collapsed due to the current administration's unpredictable actions. Here’s what that means:
It was great to visit the Children's Museum in Oak Lawn and meet with Executive Director Adam Woodworth to learn more about the museum's expanding programs.
We also discussed the importance of sustained federal support for museums and ways to provide hands-on learning experiences for children.
I recently toured the College of DuPage's Horticulture Department with Professor Brandon Smith-Nataraj, Vice President Walter Johnson, and members of the DuPage County Farm Bureau and Illinois Farm Bureau, as well as a current student in the program.
Thanks to Donald Trump, an estimated 1.5 million children nationwide have lost access to food assistance, including roughly 150,000 families in Illinois households.
This administration has made it painfully clear that our system of checks and balances is under threat. That's why, this Congress, I have introduced legislation to restore our coequal branches of government as the Constitution intended, strengthen Congress's ability to serve the American people.

The CFPB has dismissed more than 20 enforcement cases that could have returned $3.5 billion to American consumers.
I asked CFPB Director and Project 2025 author Russ Vought a simple question: What do you say to the seniors, veterans, servicemembers and families who you’ve hurt?
My office’s STEM Scholars program introduces students to newly developed and in-demand careers in different industries.
Last week, I joined my STEM Scholars for a visit with the ATF Chicago Field Division at the Aurora Police Department.
When a Chicago constituent faced losing their job after scheduling issues with USCIS, my office stepped in to help.
We worked with USCIS to secure a new biometrics appointment and successfully requested expedited processing of their DACA and work authorization renewal.
Congress controls the power of the purse. We have the ability to make portions of the Supreme Court’s budget contingent on meaningful ethics reforms. It’s time we use that power.
Reposted byRep. Sean Casten
“I had a constituent who called me because they found out their son was struggling with mental health issues in his suicide note. He said, ‘I thought I could muscle through, and I didn’t.’”
@casten.house.gov on his bipartisan Mental Health in Aviation Act to expand access to mental health care.
