Last month, my office hosted a Vietnam Veterans Pinning Ceremony in Worth. We owe our veterans the highest level of appreciation for their heroic service.

Happy Small Business Month! I recently visited Jack’s West End in La Grange with members of the La Grange Business Association. I heard first-hand how tariffs are impacting businesses in our community and the value that small businesses add to our district.

Medicaid benefits all of us. If Congress passes Speaker Johnson's proposal to dismantle the program, it will affect each and every American. All so that Donald Trump can get a tax cut.

NEWS: According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, the Republican Medicaid proposals would take health care coverage away from millions of Americans. I'm voting No on any legislation that cuts Medicaid. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

In today’s FSC hearing, I pressed Treasury Secretary Bessent on Elon Musk’s hack of the Treasury Department payment systems. Sec. Bessent conveniently avoided the truth in his responses to my questions. THREAD 🧵 1/

Sec. Bessent only reinforced my belief that Elon Musk was given unfettered access to sensitive taxpayer information. If any Republicans in Congress care about protecting their constituents' private information, they’ll join my efforts to stop Musk. /fin casten.house.gov/media/press-...

Sec. Bessent claimed that he had never granted Marko Elez, a Musk loyalist known for his racist views, the ability to edit sensitive taxpayer data within Treasury’s payment systems. 7/
Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govMay 7(source)
Sec. Bessent also denied that the Treasury payment systems are responsible for $5 trillion in disbursements and described the job of managing those payments as a “tech upgrade”. 5/

Lebryk was replaced by Tom Krause, an unqualified software executive with no relevant experience in government operations or financial markets. Sec. Bessent admitted Krause replaced Lebryk, but bizarrely denied the scope of the job of Assistant Fiscal Secretary. 4/
