This weekend, Americans will spend 13% more on staples for Independence Day celebrations thanks to our president’s tariffs making everyday expenses increasingly pricey for the average American.

The Supreme Court's decision reaffirms what the law and the Constitution make clear — all persons born within the United States are American citizens.
The SAVE Act is a voter disenfranchisement bill.
House Republicans continue to prioritize legislation that would make it harder for millions of Americans to vote instead of addressing issues families actually care about, like lowering cost, protecting healthcare, and strengthening the economy.
Today, the Supreme Court blocked President Trump from firing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, but harmfully expanded his authority to remove officials at other independent federal agencies.
Independent agencies exist to serve the American people, not the political interests of any president.
I welcomed this year's Congressional Art Competition winner, Natalia Stanibula, to Washington. Her piece, Melting Pot, won first place and will be displayed in the Capitol.
This weekend, I invite the community to celebrate this year's student artists at my Congressional Art Competition Soirée.
This week marks the anniversaries of three Supreme Court decisions that reshaped fundamental rights in America.
These cases remind us that progress isn’t guaranteed. Protecting the right to vote, to marry who you love, and make your own healthcare decisions requires continued and vigilant action.
I first came to Congress because of my lifelong commitment to combatting the climate crisis. Now, I'm working to lower costs and build a stronger, more resilient energy future.
That's why I've introduced legislation that make energy cleaner, more affordable, and more reliable.
13 years ago today, the Supreme Court struck down Section 4(b) of the Voting Rights Act in Shelby County v. Holder.
Shortly after, several states enacted changes restricting ballot access for minority communities.
The right to vote is foundational to our democracy, and protecting it remains vital.
THIS WEEKEND: Help celebrate IL-06’s student artists! My office’s Congressional Art Competition Soiree will take place on Sunday, June 28th at the Willowbrook Community Resource Center. Learn more: casten.house.gov/services/art...
The president is now refusing to sign this into law because he wants Congress to pass a bill that would make it harder for Americans to vote.
He is choosing voter suppression over making sure you can afford to put a roof over your head.
Time and again, I've heard from Americans struggling to afford a place to live. By increasing the housing supply and helping lower costs for families, this legislation represents a critical first step toward tackling our nation's housing affordability crisis.

Adults who provide children with harmful access to firearms must be held accountable.
That’s why I introduced the Juvenile Firearms Safety Act, legislation to create federal penalties when a firearm accessed by a minor is later used in a crime, for self-harm, or to cause injury or death.
Time and again, I've heard from Americans struggling to afford a place to live. By increasing the housing supply and helping lower costs for families, this legislation represents a critical first step toward tackling our nation's housing affordability crisis.

Data centers place significant strain on our electric grid, making it harder for consumers to access reliable, affordable energy.
The Energy Bills Relief Act ensures these large data centers pay their fair share and that consumers have a voice in energy policy decisions.
This summer, my Republican colleagues are focused on making it harder for Americans to participate in elections and advancing an extreme budget reconciliation bill that cuts critical housing and energy protections for working families.
Yesterday marked the official start of summer, and thanks to Donald Trump, households are paying on average 13% more compared to last year.
This Juneteenth, as we commemorate the freedom of African Americans in this country, I remain committed to ensuring that freedom is protected for all.
The rot within ICE runs deep. They are set on violating both Constitutional and human rights. Our community has suffered from the agency’s repeated and catastrophic failures. There must be accountability.
ICE continues to violate due process and ignore the laws of the communities they terrorize. This is exactly why I voted against handing them a $70 billion check without any oversight.
