Fentanyl continues to wreak havoc in communities across Illinois and the country, claiming thousands of lives each year. I applaud President Trump's signing of the HALT Fentanyl Act to tackle this crisis. It is critical we keep the momentum going.
President Donald J. Trump officially signs the HALT Fentanyl Act into law — permanently classifying fentanyl-related substances as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act. This bill will save lives.

The One Big Beautiful Bill is one of the most pro-family pieces of legislation in history. Congressional Republicans and the Trump Administration delivered the largest increase in take home pay and extended the child tax credit to support families across #IL16 and the country.

Republicans were elected on two core issues: fixing the unmitigated disaster at our southern border and strengthening our economy. The One Big Beautiful Bill does both. This landmark bill revives the economy and makes the largest-ever investment in border security.

The CCP is not just a competitor—it is an adversary that seeks to threaten our national security at every level. We must ensure that we increase oversight over U.S. farmland owned by foreign adversaries. Any foreign investment in U.S. agricultural land must be properly reported.
.@SecRollins: "The Chinese owning of farmland in our country is a massive national security issue. The states have begun taking a leadership role to ban the purchasing of China farmland. Obviously, Congress needs to step up and catch up."

When @HouseGOP passed the One Big Beautiful Bill, we codified 28 of President Trump's executive orders!. Together, we are securing our border, strengthening U.S. national security, and unleashing American energy.
Last week, when @HouseGOP passed the One Big Beautiful Bill, we codified into law 28 executive actions taken by President Trump. More to come! 🇺🇸

While far-left Democrats and the mainstream media doubted Congressional Republicans, one thing is clear: @SpeakerJohnson and @HouseGOP remained committed to passing the One Big Beautiful Bill to support the American people!
