This morning, I visited Village Theatre Guild in Glen Ellyn, a community theatre with roots dating back to 1917, now in its 62nd season. It’s inspiring to see how it continues to bring people together and foster creativity, reminder of why supporting the arts matters.

Transgender people have always been, and will always be, part of our society. I’m proud to uplift trans voices today and every day, and I’ll keep fighting for their rights in Congress.

Last year, Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans cut Medicare and Medicaid to give billionaires a tax cut. Now, they want to cut health care even further to pay for their war. The American people deserve better. We must end this war and stop these cuts. www.axios.com/2026/03/30/g...

GOP weighs health care cuts to pay for Iran war

New efforts to rein in health programs open the GOP up to attacks that they're cutting health care to pay for an unpopular war.

House Republicans are rejecting a bipartisan funding bill to pay workers at the TSA, FEMA & the Coast Guard. Speaker Johnson is instead choosing to continue the chaos at airports, all in the name of handing ICE a blank check with no accountability. Shameful. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Something Went Wrong

After it became clear the House wouldn't take up the Senate bill, Trump signed an order directing DHS to pay TSA workers, who haven't been paid for working during the funding lapse.

The Energy Bills Relief Act will help lower costs by: ✅ Restoring clean energy tax credits ✅ Preventing utility shutoffs ✅ Incentivizing utilities to save consumers money ✅ Protecting American consumers from price gouging ✅ Making sure you don’t pay to power data centers

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govMar 25(source)

Trust in the Supreme Court has cratered. When decisions appear inconsistent, when power goes unchecked, and when accountability is in question, confidence in the courts erodes. Here’s my Op-Ed on how to fix it: thehill.com/opinion/judi...

How Congress can — and must — fix the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has lost the trust of the American people due to its decisions being based on politics rather than principle, and Congress must take action to restore its integrity.

Need help navigating federal agencies? You’re not alone. My office is here to help constituents cut through the red tape, whether it’s Social Security, Medicare, veterans benefits, or resolving issues with federal agencies.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govMar 24(source)

Donald Trump is holding TSA agents’ paychecks hostage and sending ICE into airports because he wants to pass a voter suppression bill. TSA agents deserve to be paid. ICE’s lawlessness must stop. The only thing stopping that from happening is the president. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Something Went Wrong

Under a proposal pitched to Trump, Republicans would offer to reopen all of DHS except ICE and fund the controversial enforcement agency under a separate party-line budget bill.

We must modernize our electric grid to lower costs and keep up with rising demand. The Energy Bills Relief Act does this by expanding access to low-cost, reliable energy sources. Learn more at bit.ly/EBRA2026.

Sheldon and Harriet Peck were outspoken abolitionists who provided shelter to freedom seekers along the Underground Railroad. In the face of attempts to erase our history, it's more important than ever to preserve these historic sites. (2/2)

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govMar 20(source)

Today, I joined historians, preservationists, and local leaders at the Peck Homestead in Lombard to highlight the importance of historic sites and stories that have shaped our nation’s history. (1/2)

We need an energy policy that lowers costs and protects consumers. The Energy Bills Relief Act does exactly that.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govMar 18(source)

The bad news is that clock is ticking to tackle rising energy costs and the climate crisis. The good news is that the solution is here. Expanded access to low-cost, reliable energy is good for our planet and good for your wallet. I introduced the Energy Bills Relief Act to do just that.

🚨 @casten.house.gov and @levin.house.gov just introduced the Energy Bills Relief Act to address rising energy costs by deploying clean energy, putting affordability over profit, and modernizing the grid. This bill would get the U.S. on the right track and reverse Trump’s disastrous energy policies.

House Democrats to unveil sweeping clean energy bill

The legislation, which seeks to lower costs, is part of the Democrats' messaging ahead of the midterm elections.

To address skyrocketing electricity costs, I led over 120 House Democrats, alongside Rep. Mike Levin, in introducing the Energy Bills Relief Act. This is a consumer-focused approach to energy policy that will lower costs, increase reliability, and ensure our electric grid can meet rising demand
