No surprise – House Republicans blocked the release of the Epstein Files to protect Trump and his billionaire allies. The American people deserve the truth and a Congress that works for them — not Epstein’s associates. They must release the Epstein Files now!

The President vowed not to touch Medicaid—he lied. The Big, Ugly Law guts Medicaid to fund $4.5T in tax breaks to billionaires. I will not let vital healthcare be sacrificed for the ultra-wealthy. Healthcare is a right. We must protect and expand it—not dismantle it.
Hardline conservatives claim to care about the deficit. But they all folded and voted for President Trump’s Big, Ugly Law that blows up the deficit by another $3.4 TRILLION.
This is straight from the nonpartisan @USCBO:
For every meal a food pantry provides, SNAP provides 9. I am grateful to organizations like @riversidemc, @fooddepository & many more who provide for our neighbors, but they can’t solve the food insecurity crisis alone. Federal programs like SNAP are essential, and should be funded.
The Big, Ugly Law cut SNAP by $200 billion. Meaning 205,000 of our Illinois families , veterans, and seniors could lose vital food assistance. This will overwhelm already struggling food pantries and force kids to go to bed hungry. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/07/20/i...
Speaker Johnson if you truly believe in transparency, why did you & House Republicans block the release of the Epstein files last week? Then shut down the House early to block another vote on the release? What are you hiding?
If you or someone you know is struggling, or needs help, resources remain available and offer specialized support for those in the LGBTQ+ community.
If you’re in Illinois, you can still call or text 988.

OUTRAGEOUS: Republicans shut down the 988 crisis hotline for LGBTQ+ youth. While this federal decision should be reversed, I'm proud that Illinois will continue to support our LGBTQ+ youth and keep this vital lifeline alive.
In 14 years, the CFPB has returned over $21 billion to consumers harmed by illegal or unfair financial practices—benefiting more than 200 million Americans through refunds, debt cancellation & other relief. I’ll continue to protect people and hold bad actors accountable. 💪🏾
The House GOP rubberstamped heartless cuts to global aid, abandoning our allies. This isn't "America First"-- it's a dangerous retreat that cedes our influence & jeopardizes global stability. Republicans are prioritizing billionaire tax breaks over American leadership.
Remembering the Aurora tragedy 13 years ago. 12 lives lost, 58 injured. Congress's inaction on gun violence is unacceptable. I'll always fight for commonsense reforms to keep our communities safe.
President Trump’s cuts are a direct assault on the public. They threaten vital local news, emergency alerts, and even beloved PBS KIDS programming like Sesame Street, disproportionately harming rural and smaller communities who rely on these services. This is unacceptable.

President Trump's agenda isn't lowering costs — it's raising alarm bells. These reckless cuts, rubberstamped by House Republicans, gut critical services for all Americans, just to fund tax breaks for billionaires. We must fight for working families, not the ultra-rich.
A year ago, Octavia Redmond, a dedicated postal worker like my own mother, was shot and killed on her route. Her death underscores the urgent, heartbreaking reality: we need federal gun reform. We can start by passing my Federal Firearm Licensee Bill.
I'm proud to introduce the Gun Safety Incentive Act with @carson.house.gov & @mcbath.house.gov. This commonsense bill offers a 10% tax credit for certified gun safes and safe storage best practices by the DOJ. Safe storage is key to responsible gun ownership.
My heart goes out to Breonna Taylor's family and all those still fighting for justice. Her life mattered, and the recent sentencing recommendation for an officer involved in her death is a difficult reminder of the work ahead. We must continue to push for a justice system that values Black lives.
This is unacceptable. The Trump admin is handing over sensitive Medicaid data to ICE, jeopardizing everyone’s privacy and safety. Healthcare access must NEVER be a tool for deportation. We must fight for our immigrant neighbors.
11 years ago, Eric Garner spoke his last words: "I can't breathe." That cry for help should have ignited change, yet the fight for police accountability continues. We need national use-of-force standards, an end to qualified immunity, and real consequences for misconduct.
I’m remembering my dear friend, Congressman John Lewis, five years after we lost him. His words continue to inspire me: "Answer the highest calling of your heart." John & I organized a sit-in to demand action on gun violence, and I still carry his legacy of #GoodTrouble .
