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...
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...

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...

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.
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...
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)
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)
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.
Reposted byRep. Sean Casten
🚨 @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.
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
Electricity rates are soaring across the country, and millions of families are struggling to pay their energy bills. Rep. Mike Levin and I have a plan to lower energy costs, put the American people first, and expand access to reliable energy. Tune in tomorrow.
