Kristi, good luck at your new job. Because when we retake the majority, we're holding you accountable for the last one you had.

Trump and Republicans in Congress worked night and day to deliver a huge tax break to billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. Families in our community are the ones who are paying the price.

I just viewed the Epstein files. A few things are clear:

1. Trump’s name is all over them.
2. The DOJ is breaking the law and denying the victims justice.
3. A single 3-hour viewing was not enough time. I will be back.

If you have questions, let me know in the comments.

The SNAP changes from Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill went into effect on February 1. Here’s what they could mean for you and your family:

While everyday Americans struggle to pay their bills, Trump and Republicans in Congress handed billionaires the biggest tax cut in American history.

The President made it clear tonight he has no interest in solving the health care crisis that HE created.

My guest, Pastor Jennifer, joined me to remind us that the REAL State of the Union is a health care crisis that Donald Trump has created.

Tonight, I want the President to tell the families in my community why he let the tax credits that helped them afford health care expire.

Life is more expensive than ever. Millions of Americans are losing their health care. Our communities are living in fear. Donald Trump is going to come here and lie, but that is the REAL State of the Union.

Black History is American History, and our nation is a better place because of our culture and the extraordinary achievements of Black Americans.

Republicans in Congress handed a blank check to Border Patrol and ICE in the Big Ugly Bill last summer.

This is not about resources. This is about choices.

Trump’s new rule will make our nursing shortage worse and raise health care costs for everyone.

Today we remember and honor Clayton Parks, Trevor Wehner, Russell Beyer, Vicente Juarez, and Josh Pinkard, whose lives were taken when a senseless act of gun violence at the Henry Pratt Company tore through our community 7 years ago.

We can & we must take action and do more to end these tragedies.

Trump’s tariffs are crushing Illinois families and have made life completely unaffordable. Today, I’m voting to end his trade war with Canada, bring down costs, and hold this administration accountable.

Secretary Noem has not appeared before our committee since last year.

That was before her agents killed RenΓ©e Good and Alex Pretti. Before Greg Bovino terrorized my constituents during Operation Midway Blitz. Before a 5-year-old boy was used as bait.

So where is she today?

We’re more than one month into 2026 and Republicans have completely ignored the health care crisis they created while millions of Americans are facing skyrocketing costs.

In December, I told you about how Trump’s Department of Education is stripping nurses of our professional status and making school more expensive.

From now until March 2, we need you to raise your voice and submit a public comment: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...
