This framed photo hangs in the waiting room of my DC office, along with many other reasons we are proud of manufacturing, farming, and our way of life in Illinois.

Right now in America 🇺🇸
Imagine being violently interrogated at the airport for no reason. You’re stripped naked, forced in cold showers, not allowed to sleep, and denied medication.
This happened here for no reason.
The actions of this administration must be stopped. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...
What if everyone who has a Tesla or is thinking about buying one bought a Rivian?Made by 9,000 good people in my district #IL17. That’s the assignment. Let’s do this, America! 🇺🇸
So much winning.
If you don’t know why I care so much about the education of our children, watch this clip from seven years ago.
I won’t sit around while Elon Musk tries to destroy our education system. Every child, no matter where they live is entitled to a special level of learning.
The entire Central U.S. is under a weather advisory, watch, or warning. Imagine if we didn’t have the National Weather Service to do this important work for us.
I have his number. 😉
My NO vote on the Musk CR in the House was to protect services and shield Illinoisans from dangerous cuts.
This is not the time for appeasement. We must stand unified against Musk’s attacks and I am urging Senators to stand firm.
I hope constituents continue to press them to stand up for democracy. Giving tax breaks to billionaires on the backs of poor, hungry, seniors, and veterans is so wrong.
Congresswoman Sarah McBride is one of the most decent people I’ve ever met. I will always stand up for every LGBTQ+ person…whether they are in Congress or anywhere back home.
This is pretty good. And by good, I mean a devastatingly and accurate example of how this administration is not finding any waste, fraud, or abuse.
Can one Republican tell me why we aren’t cutting any of the billions in federal funding to SpaceX?
It’s all going according to the Project 2025 plan (which Trump lied about knowing nothing).
I believe now is the time for protest and coalition building. Dems are also fighting with lawsuits after all EO’s. GOP Reps have to hear from their constituents, R’s and D’s that what’s going on isn’t right
Hey! With earliest of the year 70s possible in local history, it’s a good time to look closely at your ceiling fans to make sure they’re working for your benefit.
It’s also a good time to look at your government to make sure it’s working to your benefit.
Our next town hall is this Thursday night.
For the first time in history, you can just say “He’s an idiot,” and 90% of the world knows who you’re talking about.
I took a call from a family-owned lumber company in Western Illinois who said their next shipment of 2x4’s from Canada is labeled “Cost TBD.”
“We have been in business since 1984 and if lumber prices go up, we will go out of business.”
And as a constituent, your voice is most important. Look forward to meeting you and hearing from you!
I can’t speak for others, but I am a Democrat who does not believe this is business as usual. We are working letters and legislation, working with business leaders and nonprofit leaders, and amplifying voices of veterans. Coalition building before the fight is the most important work right now.
While the President is focused on punishing Canada for some reason, he’s ignoring the real Americans who have grocery and gas prices going up, medicine prices going up, insurance prices going up, everything going up including unemployed workers.
An incredible cost we pay with no reward in the end.
