If you see an American flag flying this July 4th, there’s a good chance it’s American-made thanks to my bipartisan All American Flag Act that was passed and signed into law last year. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

The single biggest cut to American health care in the history of our country and these people are giddy over it. Shame on every one of them.

The current House vote has gone over by 343 minutes. Could it be that Republicans have second thoughts? Hmmmmmmm

Easier to forecast precise initiation of storms in a right rear quadrant of a low pressure system with a screaming low level jet stream than the GOP in the House.

Did you know that 1/3 of our neighbors in IL-17 utilize Medicaid?. Did you know that we’re voting on a bill that will drastically cut services?. I will vote NO on GOP’s ‘Big Billionaire Bailout’ because I’m fighting for my neighbors – not the filthy rich who don’t need a tax.

REPORTER: "Are you going to deport Elon Musk?". TRUMP: "We'll have to take a look. We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know what DOGE is? The monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn’t that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies.".

If kids are hungry, they won’t succeed in school. More than 25,000 homes in IL-17 have at least one child who needs SNAP. The future of our next generation is at risk if the GOP’s ‘Big Billionaire Bailout’ cuts this lifeline.

It’s not about saying you do the work, it’s showing the results. I grew up in Winnebago County and my parents didn’t fear for my safety. Moms and Dads should know they have security in their neighborhoods and I’m proud to have secured federal funding to help build a law

This evening, President Trump circumvented Congress and attacked Iran. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I await classified briefings to determine the operation’s success. We must make sure Iran never builds a nuclear weapon. However, this attack may incite an.

Along the Illinois River, Peoria was a critical stop for those traveling through the Underground Railroad. Abolitionists in the area operated various safe houses to aid individuals on their journey to freedom. This Juneteenth, I’m proud to represent a district with a strong
