Trump is needlessly risking our credibility with our allies over his Greenland nonsense. Proud to cosponsor @keating.house.gov's bipartisan bill to reaffirm NATO unity.
Tonight I introduced the bipartisan No Funds for NATO Invasion Act, prohibiting the Trump administration from invading the territories of any NATO ally. Story: https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/01/12/congress/house-lawmakers-introduce-bipartisan-nato-bill-00723206

Trump’s tariffs pushed household budgets to the brink last year.
This year, the costs are set to only climb.
Manufacturing employment has declined every month since Trump announced his tariffs last April.
Instead of boosting domestic manufacturing like he said he would, Trump has successfully done the opposite.

Attacking the Federal Reserve endangers the American economy.
The Trump administration must drop their sham investigation and quit their assault on the Fed's independence.
Senate Republicans just blocked the bipartisan, House-passed bill to extend ACA tax credits for three years. My constituents are facing outrageous premium hikes for 2026. Read their testimonies on how Republican inaction is affecting them.
Americans do not want to go to war with Venezuela.
I just signed onto the War Powers Resolution that would prevent military personnel from being deployed to Venezuela without Congressional approval.
Speaker Johnson must bring this up for a vote immediately.
My statement on Trump's "investigation" of the Federal Reserve.
This administration lost any credibility in national security a long time ago. But saying Renee Good was committing "domestic terrorism" is a new low.
Sadly, this is what we can expect when one of Trump's first actions back in office was pardoning J6 cop killers.

My statement on extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits.
For months now, communities in Illinois have been terrorized by ICE operations. Now in Minnesota, an ICE agent has killed a woman.
ICE must cease all operations before their incompetence and rampant abuse of power results in anyone else getting hurt or killed.
Freezing childcare funding during an affordability crisis is inhumane. Innocent children will pay for Trump's political games. Not only is this cruel, it’s unfair. Illinois already sends more in federal taxes than we get back from Washington.

Today, I stood on the Capitol steps to mark five years since the January 6 insurrection.
My Democratic colleagues and I will always stand up for democracy.
On this day, we thank the brave law enforcement officers who defended the Capitol that day and recommit to defending democracy.
Today is the fifth anniversary of the January 6 insurrection.
That day, President Trump encouraged a violent mob to attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election. Trump has since pardoned every criminal involved—including those convicted of assaulting police officers.
Science and medical expertise should guide our vaccine recommendations, not RFK Jr.'s conspiracy theories.
Decisions like this erode trust in safe and effective vaccines, risking outbreaks of preventable diseases and endangering children's health.

Trump's incoherent ramblings at today's news conference will only fuel suspicion around the world that this was all about seizing Venezuela's oil, and nothing about supporting freedom and democracy.
It is hypocritical for Trump to claim this operation is about stopping the drug trade after Trump pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández who was convicted of serious drug trafficking charges.
Nicolás Maduro is a brutal dictator who stole an election, but our Constitution does not give the President the authority to conduct a premeditated act of war and pursue regime change without Congressional authorization.
