I voted to release the Epstein Files because the survivors deserve justice and the American people deserve the truth. No one is too powerful or wealthy to escape justice. We need a full, unredacted investigation into every person who enabled this criminal enterprise.
The Trump Grift has reached a new low. His administration is funneling $1.8 BILLION in taxpayer dollars into a slush fund to compensate his political allies and January 6th rioters. It is a brazen theft of your hard-earned money to reward criminals and his allies.
Rigged Jim Crow maps won't silence us. Just like our parents and grandparents, we are rising to the occasion and fighting for our voting rights. Black youth, especially, are using their powerful voices to build a better future. Seeing them in Montgomery was truly inspiring.
Memorial Day has passed, but our duty to our service members never ends. We honor their legacy by protecting our veterans. I will continue fighting against cuts and the privatization of the VA. For-profit medical systems shouldn't shortchange our heroes.
Memorial Day is a time to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. As communities gather across Illinois and the country, we honor their courage, their service, and the loved ones who carry their memory forward. We remember them today and every day.
Trump and Republicans stripped food assistance from thousands of Illinoisans to pay for billionaires’ tax breaks. Taking food from hungry children is shameful. Taking those same funds to give more to billionaires is downright outrageous.
While families struggle, President Trump is making thousands of stock trades, profiting off his own market-moving decisions. We need to ban the President & Members of Congress from trading stocks and stop this corrupt practice.
Four years ago, 21 families and the entire Uvalde community had their worlds shattered by horrific gun violence. We grieve with them today, but grief is not enough. We owe it to every family from Uvalde to Chicago to pass real gun safety laws and protect our kids.
This Memorial Day weekend is a solemn reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made by our service members. We honor their memory by standing up for our veterans, ensuring our heroes return home to a stable, fully funded, mission-driven VA healthcare system.
Speaker Johnson says members of Congress need to trade stocks to get by on $174,000 a year. Meanwhile, Americans are rationing groceries, skipping healthcare, and trying to survive on wages a fraction of that. He is out of touch with the American people.
Donald Trump’s war in Iran caused gas prices to increase to $5 per gallon in Illinois. Meanwhile, Trump made over 3,700 stock trades in the first quarter of 2026, making millions of dollars. He is profiting off the backs of hardworking Americans. It’s disgusting.
The average price of gas in Illinois just hit $5 per gallon, but President Trump calls high gas prices "peanuts." Trump does not care about high prices as long as oil companies and his special interests profit from war & pollution.
Fearing a public defeat and terrified to cross Trump, House Republicans spinelessly canceled the vote to end his war in Iran. They would rather blow billions of taxpayer dollars on a reckless foreign conflict than help families here at home. @housedemocrats.bsky.social won't back down.
Too many colleges, especially in the south, profit from Black talent while neglecting Black communities. That hypocrisy is unacceptable. You do not get the benefits of Black excellence while ignoring injustice. Grateful to @RepJeffries and @cbc.house.gov for holding the line.
While families struggle to afford groceries and healthcare, House Republicans want to write a $70 billion blank check allowing ICE & CBP to continue terrorizing our neighborhoods. It’s wasteful, cruel, and does absolutely nothing to lower costs. House Democrats & Senate Dems are fighting for YOU.
Oral health is crucial to overall health and keeps folks out of the ER. I’m proud to lead this bipartisan reauthorization with Rep. Mike Simpson for the third time, and I strongly urge Speaker Johnson to bring this to the House floor for a vote.
📢 Big news from the @energycommerce.bsky.social Committee! Today, we unanimously passed my Action for Dental Health Act to advance workforce training and community-based oral health initiatives in both rural and urban areas. Everyone deserves access to quality care, no matter their zip code. 👇
Last night, I stood to honor the victims of the hateful shooting in San Diego. Victims and survivors of gun violence deserve more than moments of silence. They deserve loud and clear action from Congress to end gun violence.
