The WIC Program provides nutrition resources, referrals to medical care, and food benefits at no-cost to eligible families in DuPage County. I recently toured and met with staff at the DuPage County Health Department to learn about the important resources they can provide to our community.

The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” was never meant to be used to issue fast, often unexplained rulings without full briefing or argument. This is a fixable problem, one I’ve already drafted legislation to bring transparency and accountability to the Court. Now it’s time to bring it to the floor.

This National Library Week, I’m proud to celebrate the vital role our libraries play in strengthening our communities. I recently visited Prairie Trails and Tinley Park libraries in IL-06, where I heard directly from staff about the incredible work they do to educate our community every day.

As a member of Congress, I am privileged to nominate qualified students to attend the U.S. Military Academy (West Point), the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. This year I nominated 23 well-deserving students.

We need to provide consumers with access to the lowest-cost, most efficient, and most reliable forms of energy. It’s a happy coincidence that this is synonymous with the cleanest forms of energy.

From fighting back against harmful actions by the Trump Administration and introducing meaningful legislation to recognizing a historic site right here in IL-06, here’s what I’ve been up to recently.

Despite signing the largest cut to health care in history just last year, the president wants to enact even further cuts to pay for his war. The president does not care about what is best for the American people.

It’s long overdue that we have an energy policy in this country that puts consumers first, EBRA does just that. By strengthening consumer protections and ensuring large energy users pay their fair share, millions of Americans will be protected from price gouging.

I recently had the opportunity to join Pathlights in Palos Heights, a community organization supporting older adults, people with disabilities, and their families with resources to live independently. Pathlights provides essential services, including meals, to residents across six townships.

The president’s threat to wipe out an entire civilization is dangerous, reckless, and would constitute a war crime under both domestic and international law. Anyone in the Trump Administration who acts on this threat and violates the law must be held accountable, including criminal liability.
The president’s threat to wipe out an entire civilization is dangerous, reckless, and would constitute a war crime under both domestic and international law. This rhetoric undermines U.S. credibility, endangers civilians, and places American personnel in untenable legal, moral, and mortal jeopardy. Anyone in the Trump Administration who acts on this threat and violates the law must be held accountable, including criminal liability. The urgency of the situation demands immediate action. This is the type of moment the 25th Amendment was drafted to address. The president is unfit to serve, and lives are at stake. The entire chain of command has a responsibility in this moment to step up and put their country over their loyalty to the president.
