- Trump launched his initial strikes on Iran from Mar a Lago, while his most senior cabinet members led the cover up of the Epstein Files from the White House Situation Room. We need all the files released now and Epstein’s corroborators unredacted. We need Republicans on theNew reporting shows the Trump Administration turned the Situation Room into an “Epstein war room.” The Situation Room is meant for national security matters, not pedophile coverups. Trump is focused on protecting himself—not YOU.
- Ten days before Juneteenth, and in the hometown of Emmett Till, someone burned a cross. The long history of using cross burnings to terrorize Black Americans is part of the darkest periods in our nation. CPD must find the person responsible. Read my full statement here.
- Over 92,000 Illinoisans have lost or could not afford their Affordable Care Act health insurance since they signed up this January. This is a direct result of Republicans in Congress refusing to work with Democrats and extend Affordable Care Act health plan subsidies this year.
- 10 years ago today, 49 people were killed and 53 more gravely injured in a shooting at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida. This act of domestic terrorism was a hate crime targeting LGBTQI+ Latino Americans. During a time of escalating violence and hatred, we must stand

- During an ongoing national crisis of mass shootings, the Trump administration wants to ignore a 99-year-old law and allow people to mail handguns. We need to make it harder for criminals to get guns, not easier.
- Instead of ending the war with Iran and bringing costs down, the Republican majority in Congress gave ICE and CBP an extra $70 BILLION in taxpayer money yesterday. This comes after Congress had already funded the agencies through 2032. This is not what the American people want.
- Yesterday, I joined my colleagues in standing in solidarity with @ChiPubSchools students, teachers, and parents. Instead of supporting our students, Republicans on the Education and Workforce Committee dragged CPS Superintendent Dr. Macquline King to Washington for a pointless
- Yesterday, I met with Riya Narepalem and John Ciok—our newest Congressional Award Gold Medalists. The Congressional Award Gold Medal is the highest award Congress can bestow on a civilian American youth. Requirements include physical fitness, personal development, and over 400
- It’s easy to “love the inflation” when you don’t have to worry about paying for groceries or making rent. I have voted YES for every War Powers Resolution to end this war in Iran, remove the inflationary tariffs, and bring prices DOWN.
- CDOT employee and bike safety activist Riley O'Neil died while biking on South Halsted Street. This is why we need dedicated bike lanes. I’m proud to cosponsor the Active Transportation Infrastructure Investment Program (ATIIP) Reauthorization Act to keep funding bike lanes and
