Earlier this week, I got to meet with some of our seniors at Central Baptist Village in Norridge. I enjoyed hearing their perspectives and opinions on the pressing issues we face today.

Trump is trying to ban the VA from providing #abortion care to our veterans – including in cases of rape or incest. The Reproductive Freedom for Veterans Act, a bill led by @RepBrownley and @RepJohnLarson, will stop Trump in his tracks. I’m proud to cosponsor it.

Really enjoyed attending Dim Sum & Then Some with the Chinese Mutual Aid Association!🥟☀️. Organizations like the @cmaachicago do so much for our community—we must keep protecting their federal funding from the Trump administration.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are forcing all trans service members to resign. But the Air Force is also denying them their rightfully-earned retirement pay — solely based on their identity. This discrimination is illegal, unacceptable, and unAmerican.

I’m proud to join @RepCasten and over 90 other Democrats in demanding the Trump administration conduct oversight of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Gaza needs substantial aid now, but this mysterious organization has no humanitarian aid experience. Since the GHF began

Honoring our veterans doesn’t stop at thank you. They deserve quality care, but Donald Trump and Republicans are defunding the VA. @HouseDemocrats are committed to working together to reverse these cuts and protect our veterans.

Today is National Purple Heart Day, when we celebrate the courage and selflessness of our Purple Heart recipients. Thank you for your service to our nation and devotion to our freedom.

My decision to call for the recognition of a Palestinian state was not made lightly. A separate state will establish mutual security for both Palestinians and Israelis, and is the best path to a lasting peace.

Today, we celebrate 60 years since the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which banned racial discrimination at the ballot box. This week's fight in Texas proves that the work isn't over. I'm proud to support the Freedom to Vote Act to ensure integrity in our elections,.

RT @MaryAnnAhernNBC: NEW from ⁦@RepMikeQuigley⁩

While recognition cannot in one sweeping stroke create a state, and much work remains to be done, I issue this call to reaffirm my commitment to Palestinian self-determination. I want to make clear that Americans remain dedicated to ensuring the rights of the Palestinian people.

Here’s the truth: vaccines save lives. This National Immunization Awareness Month, please join me in the fight to protect access to vaccines and reverse Trump's cuts to critical immunization research.

Trump’s firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner threatens trust in government. Americans need to trust government data is accurate—they can only do that if the Bureau stays nonpartisan.

My team and I enjoyed meeting Jefferson Park constituents at Jeff Fest this weekend! Awesome array of local art, music, and food.

NPR IS local radio. Trump is further limiting access to information—including emergency and weather alerts—for all Americans.
