There’s no way to sugarcoat it — the impacts of the GOP Tax Scam’s Medicaid cuts on our seniors will be devastating. Nursing homes will close. Elderly people will have nowhere to go, and many of them will die. Republicans are doing this to fund their tax break for billionaires.

It took two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed into law for the last enslaved communities to actually become free. Today our freedom is under threat, and it is essential we work every day to protect that which took generations to achieve.

Happy Pride, Illinois! I’ve had such a great time celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community with you this month. I know times are hard right now — they’re coming for our health care, our communities, our kids. But I have your back, and when we stand together, we win.

I heard directly from neighbors across the Illinois Valley about how Trump's big, ugly bill would devastate our communities. It's going to take all of us, working together, to fight back.

This month, our community in the 14th came together to say NO kings in America. We the people have the power. Proud to stand with you in that fight always.

Republicans are so bold as to say OUT LOUD that people upset about their devastating Medicaid cuts will “get over it.” What about the millions of people losing health care coverage? The people who will die without necessary care? This is shameful — call them and let them know.

Aurora Pride was such a beautiful celebration for our community, coming together to lift up our LGBTQIA+ neighbors. Now is the time for us to stand together against hate and division. To the LGBTQIA+ Illinoisans — I’ll ALWAYS have your back.

Our health care system is a shared fate. If Medicaid is cut, your health care WILL be affected even if you yourself don’t rely on Medicaid.

We made a promise to our service members that we’d care for them when they came home. That sacred promise is now being broken by the Trump administration in order to pay for a tax cut for billionaires.

I've heard from countless Illinois families who have to ration their insulin supply or go without because of its high cost. It's unacceptable. My Lowering Insulin Costs Now Act is working to make affordable insulin a reality for families that need it.

Senate Republicans just rammed through their indefensible tax scam. I want you to hear it from me: I’ll be voting NO. We still have the power to stop this. Call a House Republican TODAY and tell them to vote 'NO' on this bill that will cost and ruin lives.

The disastrous GOP budget, which would kick 17 MILLION Americans off their health care coverage, has passed the Senate. But there’s still time to stop it. Watch as I explain where we are now, what’s going to happen, and what you can do to help👇🏾

I’ve been asking for weeks for folks to make calls to Republicans. Now is the final time for you to make your voice heard about this disgusting GOP budget. PLEASE pick a House Republican, call them, and share your story TODAY.

Republicans just passed the largest transfer of wealth FROM the working class TO the billionaires in the history of this country. An absolute disgrace.

This Independence Day is a challenging one in the face of Donald Trump’s extreme administration. But now is the time for us to reaffirm our commitment to our democracy, independence, and freedom for all. Thank you for working with me to form a more perfect union. Happy 4th! 🇺🇸

Republicans are not telling the truth about their big, ugly bill. This legislation is the largest health care CUT in this history of the United States.

The disastrous GOP budget is going to spell the collapse of the nursing home industry. It’s no wonder this legislation was and remains wildly unpopular.
