Last week, I led 107 House Democrats in a letter to Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright demanding he end the illegal firing of public servants, including those responsible for managing the United States’ nuclear weapons arsenal. Read the letter:

NEWS: I joined 152 House Dems in urging the Social Security Administration to halt the Trump-Musk plan to shutter field offices & reduce its workforce.
The world's richest man, who recently called Social Security a Ponzi scheme, has no business stripping Americans of their earned benefits.
Every day of the Trump Administration has brought fear, frustration and confusion to the American people. I’m using every tool available to protect democracy, our institutions, and the American people. Read my 2025 Plan: casten.house.gov/2025plan
Over the weekend, I hosted a seniors-focused community meeting in Westmont. I shared updates on how I’m working to protect necessary federal services, like Medicare and Medicaid.
By pure coincidence, of course, Russian state media was *accidentally* allowed into the Oval Office today.

This is disgraceful. There was only one person in the Oval Office willing to stand up for democracy and against Putin, and it wasn’t the President or Vice President of the United States.
Last month, I spent time at the National Air Traffic Control Center in Illinois. Air traffic controllers deserve access to mental health care when they need it. I'm working on bipartisan legislation to ensure that aviators can get the help they need.
Yesterday, on the House Floor, I shared the story of a federal scientist who Donald Trump and Elon Musk fired.
By halting the work of our federal researchers, we are crippling our nation’s ability to innovate, adapt, and maintain our status as a world leader in science.
Last week, I partnered with Rep. Robin Kelly to introduce the Gun Trafficker Detection Act. This legislation would help end the flow of illegal guns into Illinois by requiring gun owners to report if their gun is lost or stolen within 24 hours. Read more:

Imagine being so terrified of Elon Musk and Donald Trump that the only way you are willing to advocate for the HUMANE treatment of federal public servants is to do so *privately*.

Why I voted Hell No on the budget resolution considered by the House tonight:
casten.house.gov/media/press-...
House Republicans have proposed a budget that would gut essential services for people in our community. I'm voting no.
The Republican budget proposal is a disaster. It threatens the health care of the 80,061 people on Medicaid in IL-06.
House Republicans want to cut critical programs to give handouts to the wealthy.
Last week, I toured Thrive of Lisle and learned about their post-acute and long-term care services.
Now more than ever, it’s crucial for us to stand up to preserve programs like Medicaid that help patients access these services.
Today, I hosted a seniors-focused town hall in Downers Grove.
Throughout the meeting, we discussed the impacts of the Trump Administration and what I’m doing to stop Republican attempts to cut Social Security and Medicaid.
February is Black History Month. Today and every day, let’s celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of Black Americans and remember that Black history is American history.
Earlier this week, I participated in Lewis University’s Fostering Positive Mental Health in Aviation Program. I spoke about my pilot mental health work in Congress and appreciated the opportunity to hear from aviation students.
Over 70 cases have been filed against the Trump Administration’s executive orders or agency actions. Here’s what’s happening in the courts:
