“What causes a government shutdown?”
The federal government shuts down when Congress fails to pass appropriations bills that finance federal agencies and programs. Rather than negotiate with Democrats, Republicans have chosen to shut the government down.

Despite the #RepublicanShutdown, my office is OPEN and here to help! Visit my website or give us a call.
I’m also providing answers to some frequently asked questions below (🧵)
Today, we lost a tireless advocate for chimpanzees and nature. Dr. Jane Goodall devoted her life to furthering the field of primatology and ensuring people worldwide understand the very real world impacts of climate change. Her life should inspire us all to take better care of our planet.
My office will be fully operational throughout the shutdown. We are available to hear your comments and concerns, process casework, and help constituents navigate this hectic time. Read my full statement below. (2/2) quigley.house.gov/media-center...
Last night, the government entered a shutdown for the first time in 6 years. Meanwhile, Trump wastes millions of taxpayer dollars sending federal agents to intimidate Chicagoans. It’s clear Republicans care more about political theater and spreading fear than they do about helping Americans. (1/2)
In the event of a shutdown, my office will remain fully operational. We will also be sharing resources for the shutdown later this week. Please visit my website or give us a call for assistance. (2/2)
At 11:01 pm Central tonight, the U.S. government will shut down due to the Republican majority’s failure to pass a commonsense spending plan. Shutdowns can be confusing—here are the answers to some common questions about why this is happening. (1/2)
In less than 10 hours, the U.S. government will shut down, and Mike Johnson’s to do list will almost be complete.
Rather than negotiate with Democrats on a bipartisan bill, Republicans would rather take healthcare away from 5 million Americans.
There's only one month left to submit for the Congressional App Challenge! If you're a middle or high school student from Illinois' 5th Congressional District with an idea for an app, submit your app for consideration by October 30.
To apply, visit the CAC Website at buff.ly/mDqMekv
If you or someone you know could be detained, visit our Immigration Protection Kit page and fill out the forms at the link the below. You can also give my office a call for more information. (2/2)
With ICE enforcement ramping up in Chicago, we have to take care of our own. My office is here to help. (1/2)
Thank you to everyone who came out to our recent Fall Senior Fair!
If you’re a senior and need help cutting through red tape, my team is happy to assist. Give us a call or visit our website today.
I enjoyed attending the 25th annual @aidsfoundationchi.bsky.social AIDS Run & Walk this weekend!
It’s going to take all of us to support the HIV community and end this epidemic once and for all. I’m proud to join the fight!
Both perpetrators in these tragedies used assault rifles. These are weapons of war, and they do not belong on our streets. We need commonsense gun reform. (2/2)
This weekend, two shootings across the country — one at a North Carolina bar and another at a Michigan church — killed seven people and injured many more. Please join me in taking a moment today to think of the victims and their families. (1/2)
Last week, the Illinois congressional delegation stood together to demand access to the Broadview ICE facility.
The public needs to know what's happening behind closed doors.
@ramirez.house.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov
The Republican majority is letting healthcare tax credits expire, leaving 24,000 people in our district and millions more across the country with higher monthly premiums.
Happy National Public Lands Day🌲🏔️
I’m proud to fight for our public lands. My bill, the Reducing Waste in National Parks Act, will require our parks to examine and deter the use of single-use plastic products. Together, we can keep our public lands clean and accessible to all Americans!
The non-partisan @urbaninstitute.bsky.social estimates that 4.8 million Americans will lose their coverage unless Congress acts on this health care affordability crisis now.
