The Trump Administration's mixed messaging on its strikes against Iran makes clear that there is no legal justification for its actions.
I will vote for a War Powers Resolution this week to stop the Trump Administration's illegal war.

Iran's regime is repressive and destabilizing. But that does not justify unilateral war.
My statement on U.S. military action in Iran:
February was another productive month, from bill introductions to district programming, and I am proud of what was accomplished for the people of Illinois’ 6th District in such a short month. I look forward to continuing this work in the months ahead.
Congratulations to the 6th District's very own Kendall Coyne Schofield of Palos Heights and Abbey Murphy of Evergreen Park on winning gold for Team USA!

I’m honored to organize my annual Valentines for Veterans card drive. Seeing the creativity and generosity of our community is truly inspiring. We are forever indebted to our veterans for their sacrifices, and these cards are a small way to say thank you
The Trump Administration is hiding documents from the Epstein Files that contain accusations against Donald Trump. This is a cover-up.

As the president speaks tonight, do not lose sight of the fact that he has personally pocketed at least $1,408,500,000 since taking office.

The invasion of Ukraine began 4 years ago today. We must remember that Ukraine is our ally, and that Russia is not. No matter what the current occupant of the White House would like us to believe.
I respect the office of the President of the United States, but it is clear that Donald Trump does not.
I refuse to be used as a prop in his theatrics, and so I will not attend tonight's State of the Union.

NEWS: I have introduced legislation that would ban the use of US-origin weapons in Gaza and the West Bank if Israel violates the October 10, 2025, ceasefire agreement and 20-point plan, annexes the West Bank or Gaza, or fails to combat settler violence against Palestinians. (1/2)
NEWS: The Supreme Court has ruled that the president’s inflation-driving tariffs are illegal.
This is welcome news for those of us who care about making life more affordable and ending needless price increases.

I’m excited to see this federal funding come to the 6th District, as Sutherland Elementary is turning its greenspace into a new artificial turf field. This is a worthy investment in our students and our community.
Earlier this month, I was honored to recognize an incredible constituent on the House floor.
Sondra LaPointe is a 7th grade social studies teacher at Westview Middle School in Willowbrook, Illinois, and she is making a real difference in the lives of our future leaders.
Americans have seen a surge in prices on groceries, utilities, and life under the Trump Administration.
Last week, I was proud to vote to terminate Trump’s tariffs on Canada. Tariffs drive inflation, and we have to put an end to the president’s attacks on our economy.
Today, I honor and recognize the life of the late Reverend Jesse Jackson.
A proud Chicagoan and a tireless champion for justice, Rev. Jackson devoted his life to advancing civil rights, economic opportunity, and human dignity for all. His legacy will continue to inspire generations to come.
Thank you for spreading the love! This year, my office received over 2,700 cards from across the district to remind our veterans how appreciated they are this Valentine’s Day.
Whether you sent 1 card or 5, you helped make a real difference, and my office wishes you a very Happy Valentine’s Day!
The Trump Administration is attacking your right to breathe clean air. The science is clear. Climate change is an existential threat to our species. Limiting our ability to regulate pollution serves only to doom the only planet we have to pass on to our children.

I always say that IL-06 is home to the most talented individuals, and hearing from Olympian speed skater Sarah Warren was proof of that. Her story, her grit, and her commitment to representing the district show exactly what makes our community so special.
