I just read the words of these Jewish rabbis into the Congressional Record.
It’s time for not only the clergy to speak up… but anyone who cares about human life.
People need to be treated with respect.

I just read the words of these Jewish rabbis into the Congressional Record.

People need to be treated with respect.
Donald Trump is abroad while Americans at home suffer from his health care cuts.
The President should return to America and work with us to end this shutdown and ensure Americans have access to affordable, quality health care.
While Senate Democrats are here in Washington fighting for your health care, House Republicans are AWOL on their 6th consecutive week of vacation.
Let’s get back to work, sit down, and solve the health care crisis.
Affordable health care should not be a partisan issue.
My new op-ed in the @chicago.suntimes.com today outlines how Republicans in Congress have created a health care catastrophe. You and your family deserve better.
Today, families across Illinois will be informed of their new insurance premiums for 2026.
Because of the Republican refusal to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits, many families will see their premiums double.
American families need help now to afford their health care. Republicans in Congress shouldn’t wait any longer to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits.
Donald Trump needs to explain why there is taxpayer money available to finance a $143 million new airplane for a cabinet official, or $20 billion to give to Argentina, or $230 million in “compensation” for the himself, but why there isn’t money to help working families afford their health coverage.
Nobody is served by a Congress that lets an Administration act unchecked.
Attorney General Bondi’s hearing was a shameful performance of theater and insult.
“Millions of people will see their health insurance payments double or even triple in 2026” … “Largest annual premium increases in recent years” … and where are congressional Republicans and Donald Trump? On a 6-week vacation and on his way to Asia, respectively.
See my new op-ed in Fox News today about how Democrats are fighting to protect your health care and end this shutdown, while Republicans are on a six week vacation.
President Trump is deploying federal law enforcement to zip-tie children and teargas peaceful protestors.
All for political theater.
That’s un-American.
We just learned that ICE recruits are showing up without full vetting.
This is a huge hazard, risks misconduct, and makes us less safe.

Americans shouldn’t have to live in fear that they won’t be able to afford their next doctor’s visit. Republicans in Congress need to act today to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits and protect our constituents’ health care.
There are thousands of pieces of furniture in the Capitol Building. Why can’t Democrats and Republicans sit down and find a way out of this shutdown?
Because House Republicans are on their 5thweek of vacation.
It’s more important than ever before that we support immigrants.
Pass the Dream Act. Protect DACA. Support immigrant communities.
Grateful to meet with business leaders today and discuss the urgency of these issues.
I met with leaders from @uofilsystem.bsky.social and UIC to discuss “Operation Midway Blitz” and the effects of militarized immigration enforcement efforts on student safety.
These raids and arrests carried out on our campuses do nothing but disrupt classes and traumatize students.
Donald Trump promised you lower prices. Instead, by shutting down the government and refusing to extend health care tax credits, he is poised to inflict the “worst year-over-year price hike” on Americans’ health insurance premiums next year. All while building a grand new ballroom for himself.
I introduced a bipartisan resolution to honor Nobel Peace Prize recipient, María Corina Machado.
Ms. Machado has fought for democracy and a better future for the Venezuelan people. Her courage amid Maduro’s cruelty is worthy of the Nobel, as well as Congressional recognition.
