Republicans had every opportunity last year to work with Democrats to extend critical ACA tax credits. Instead, they let them expire, and families are paying the price. I was in Bronzeville this morning to make clear: I won’t stop fighting to lower health care costs.

I oppose any attempt to take control of Venezuela for its oil. If Republicans believe otherwise, they should make that case openly to the American people on the floor of Congress. Without a war powers resolution, Trump has no authority to commit violence in America’s name.

President Trump’s actions in Venezuela and his claim that the United States will “run” the country were taken without congressional authorization or even briefings. This abuse of power undermines the Constitution and makes Americans less safe. My statement:

I joined Cook County leaders at Stroger Hospital to warn what would happen if federal health tax credits expired. Because of DC Republicans, families now face higher costs and Illinois hospitals face more strain. I’m fighting to restore these credits and protect access to care.

ACA tax credits expired yesterday—because Congressional Republicans let them. At Stroger Hospital, we warned this will mean higher premiums, lost coverage, and strained safety-net hospitals. I’m fighting to restore affordable care.

ACA tax credits expired last night, driving up health insurance costs for thousands of Illinois families — because Congressional Republicans failed to act. I’m fighting to restore these tax credits and protect affordable care so people aren’t priced out of coverage.

Eliminating 600 job vacancies at VA hospitals around Chicago is a serious mistake. For veterans, an “unfilled” position means care that never arrived, not a lack of need. Secretary Collins should reverse this decision before more vets are left waiting. https://t.co/aN3kZ5T1xU

Politicians shouldn’t override parents and doctors. As families worry about costs and coverage, Republicans are threatening hospitals and inserting politics into medical decisions. We should be strengthening health care, not weaponizing it. https://t.co/SC65JQCUay

Proposed new rules would punish the hospitals by pulling all federal financing. Advocates say lawsuits will follow.

Energy bills are soaring. Expanding the power supply would help lower costs. Instead, the Trump administration is canceling offshore wind projects and attacking clean energy across the board, driving up costs and gutting American industries. https://t.co/J1BDm7VuNU

The Interior Department said the projects posed national security risks, without providing details. The decision imperils billions of dollars of investments.

Republican leadership in Congress and President Trump have failed the American people. The ACA tax credits could have and should have been extended. They refused, and Americans are paying the price. https://t.co/gvZJAOMxMY

Greenland’s future is for Greenlanders to decide, not for U.S. politicians to posture over. Appointing an envoy to claim allied territory is reckless, undermines our partners, and weakens America’s credibility at a moment when alliances matter most. https://t.co/kQqFT6x7YZ

The latest moves in the Caribbean appear deliberately provocative. Let’s be clear: the American people do not want a war with Venezuela, and they do not want laws that turn private citizens into pirates empowered to seize Venezuelan assets.

If a story can be killed because the Trump administration refuses to sit for an interview, that’s not journalism - that’s a veto. Government silence is a statement, not a kill switch. This is how press freedom erodes. https://t.co/iQenBtKrta
