If Donald Trump pardons Ghislaine Maxwell—who helped Jeffrey Epstein traffic girls—it sends a clear message: One set of rules for the powerful, especially those tied to Trump. Another for everyone else.

Shadene Butchart has ALS. Because the GOP let the ACA tax credits expire, her health care is now unaffordable, almost costing her husband’s entire Social Security check. I voted to restore these tax credits today for Shadene and the 550,000 Illinois families who need them.

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:

The Trump Administration diverting FBI agents away from counterterrorism and counterintelligence work to support immigration enforcement makes America less safe. We should be focused on preventing threats to the homeland — not pulling agents away from the work that keeps Americans safe.

We need to end the war in Iran. Congress cannot sit on the sidelines while President Trump drags us deeper into a conflict with no end in sight. Every day this war continues, it mounts in costs, depletes our munitions, and erodes our national security.

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.

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem won’t let the American people see what is going on beyond this barricade at the Broadview ICE facility — even as ICE terrorizes our Illinois communities. It’s absurd and it’s un-American. We demand transparency and accountability NOW.

The Senate passed a bill to fund DHS except for ICE and CBP—something I would support. But Republicans, including Donald Trump, now want to bankroll the whole agency. I can’t support a bill that sends another dollar to ICE or CBP.

Loretto Hospital in Austin and Franklin Hospital in Benton warned me directly that Republican Medicaid cuts could force program closures, staffing reductions, or worse. I’m fighting to stop the “Large Lousy Law” and to keep these hospitals, and the communities they serve, alive.

I spoke with Alex Witt about how “Operation Epic Fury” has become an epic disaster. This war is costing American lives, raising prices, and strengthening our adversaries. Time to end it.

Abbott’s destroying TX & wants to handicap the residents of Corpus, depriving them of their right to H2O Come Nov, send him rolling out of the Governor’s Mansion & move Gina Hinojosa in.

Grandpa Trump sleeps while Hegseth stumbles, perhaps drunkenly, through an embarrassment of a memorial day address. No wonder Iran was able to use Lego cartoons to beat the US at war.

Speaker Johnson really wondered how we expect the millionaires in Congress to live off only $174k without a little stock trading. That's why I pledge to dedicate time in Congress to teaching the 98% of Congress that isn’t from the working class about how to make ends meet, no insider trading needed.

Donald Trump already made his choice—you’re just watching the distraction. It’s not Vance. Not Don Jr. Watch Ivanka Trump. Power moves quiet. #CA32 #WhereIsBradSherman? #IvankaTrump2028
