Yesterday, the Oversight Committee unanimously passed my bipartisan bill to strengthen training for federal workers to reduce fraud and waste while protecting benefits for Americans who qualify. I spoke about the importance of this legislation during the markup:

Today, the Oversight Committee convened survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking scheme to tell their stories directly before Congress. These survivors have been denied justice. We must keep fighting for accountability, transparency, and justice for every survivor.

Days after the horrific attack at a San Diego mosque, and as some politicians traffic in Islamophobia, I discussed the rise in anti-Muslim hate at an Intelligence Committee hearing marking 25 years since 9/11. We should call this what it is: dangerous bigotry — and confront it wherever it appears.

For decades, presidents of both parties have followed a clear rule: the U.S. does not consult Beijing on arms sales to Taiwan. President Trump appears ready to break with that approach. Weakening deterrence invites aggression — and risks war.

Tomorrow, I will vote to release the Epstein files. Survivors deserve justice, and the public deserves the truth. These records—potentially including financial documents revealing Epstein’s associates—are key to getting to the bottom of what happened and preventing future abuse.

You don’t prevent another attack on our democracy like January 6 by rewarding the people involved. President Trump’s new slush fund could use $1.8 billion in taxpayer money to benefit political allies — including people convicted of January 6 crimes. That encourages political violence, not less.

Today, the House passed my bill to rename the Palatine Post Office in honor of Bernie Bluestein — WWII hero, Ghost Army veteran, and beloved leader in our community. A long-overdue tribute, and one that will help keep Bernie’s legacy alive in Palatine for generations.

No more roving, masked ICE or CBP agents in our cities. Until there are real reforms—IDs on, body cams on, warrants required, independent investigations—I will oppose ICE and DHS funding. Period.

Congress must vote today to pass the Iran War Powers Resolution and end Donald Trump's illegal, unconstitutional war with Iran. American lives have been lost, innocent civilians are being killed, and families are facing rising gas prices and higher costs.

Ghislaine Maxwell should never receive a pardon — but she was far from Epstein’s only co-conspirator. The DOJ identified others years ago, yet only Epstein and Maxwell have faced prosecution while key names remain hidden from the public. Survivors deserve answers and justice.

Trump says the federal government doesn’t have any money to fund child care & health care. But he has no problem cutting those programs to fund another war in the Middle East.

One of the most important green flags: emotional regulation. When someone stays grounded during conflict, it keeps your nervous system from going into survival mode. Conflict becomes manageable. If you want help building this dynamic, learn more at the link in my bio. #relationshipadvice
