This week, I spoke up during a markup of the Appropriations Committee’s foreign affairs funding bill. The American people have been crystal clear—they want us to reexamine how we provide aid to foreign countries. This discussion needs to include the aid we provide to Israel.

This River Day, I enjoyed cleaning up the Chicago River with Friends of the Chicago River! Together, we can help make the Chicago River cleaner and healthier for the next generation.

Happy Earth Day!🌎 As a Co-Chair of @houseseec.bsky.social, I know how important it is that we stop pollution and pass real solutions. That’s why this Earth Day, I’m working to pass the Energy Bills Relief Act.

This weekend I got to visit the Harold L. Washington Hall of Honor at @rooseveltu.bsky.social. As a fellow Roosevelt alumnus, it was great to see the opening of this essential exhibit and learn even more about Mayor Washington's work. Encourage everyone to stop by!

The #Ebola crisis reminds us how important it is for the United States to fund global health initiatives. As we’ve seen in the past, pandemics do not stop at our borders.

I’m fighting with @democrats-appropriations.house.gov to restore funding to USAID and other efforts that keep us safe.

Trump’s war with Iran is making everything more expensive—including our gas right here in Chicago. We need to end this dangerous war and save our economy.

These 100 year-old bridges need an upgrade. My bipartisan BRIDGE Act with @duckworth.senate.gov will establish a brand-new grant program to restore our commuter rail bridges—investing $1.5 billion EVERY YEAR in public transit.

Trump's HUD Secretary said Americans should get "equal rights, not extra rights." We all know Trump and Turner think anti-discrimination laws give LGBTQ+ people "extra rights."

I recently got to visit Green City Market and hear about their GCM for All program — which allows SNAP recipients to get triple the value of their benefits and access fresh fruits and vegetables.

Trump is willingly putting our troops in danger for a war Americans want no part of. Our service members are not disposable. I was proud to cosponsor and vote for the War Powers Resolution to stop this war. I’m going to keep supporting every effort to bring our troops home safely.

The Voting Rights Act ended Jim Crow, but Louisiana vs. Callais is a slap in the face to those who bled for that victory. During Freedom Summer, James Chaney was murdered in Mississippi just for helping Black Americans reclaim their voice at the ballot box.

Activist Guido Reichstadter scaled the Frederick Douglass Bridge in Washington, D.C. earlier this month to protest the Iran war. "What I did was follow the call of my heart. I couldn't stay silent in the face of these ongoing acts of mass murder by the U.S. government in my name."

Being “the strong one” can become a lonely identity. If everyone relies on you, people may stop noticing when you need support too.
