As the year comes to a close, I always appreciate reflecting on all that has happened. 2025 was undoubtedly a difficult year for our country. In 2026, we'll keep up the fight.

The Trump Administration is legally required to release the Epstein Files by the end of today, but they are refusing to do so. The president himself signed this bill into law.

What is Donald Trump hiding?

DOJ won’t meet Friday deadline to release all the Epstein files
The delay means the White House is in apparent conflict with a law President Donald Trump signed in November.

Following the hateful and antisemitic shooting at Bondi Beach, Australians immediately got to work to prevent the next tragedy.

I'm ashamed that the United States, after 393 mass shootings so far in 2025, refuses to follow suit.

My office received over 450 holiday cards through our Holiday Card Drive! Earlier this week, I dropped off cards and met with residents at Mayslake Retirement Village in Oak Brook.

🚨 NEWS: House Democrats have succeeded in our efforts to force a vote to extend ACA subsidies.

Speaker Johnson should call this vote immediately. Congress should not leave town for the year without doing everything in our power to stop premiums from skyrocketing.

Today, the Financial Services Committee considered legislation to block credit card companies from using a specific code to identify gun retailers. These codes are applied to nearly every other type of business.

It should be opposed by anyone who cares about preventing Americans from being shot.

We are days away from health care premiums skyrocketing for millions of Americans.

Speaker Johnson's health care "plan" does nothing to stop this from happening. Instead, it strips more people of their coverage and further limits women's freedom to access reproductive health care.

Shameful.

Her racism and xenophobia have no place in Chicago.

This decision will cause Americans to die. This is exactly why I raised the alarm earlier this year when RFK Jr. fired actual experts on the panel in charge of recommending vaccines.

Science is real. Vaccines are safe. Don't let them fool you into thinking otherwise.

The Trump Administration's plans will increase the number of Illinoisans experiencing homelessness.

As temperatures fall, 7,500 more Illinoisans are at risk of losing their housing. This is pure evil.

Donald Trump is openly against affordability.

Costs have skyrocketed because of the president's tariffs. He signed the largest cut to health care in American history and refuses to extend subsidies that can help lower premium prices.

Shameful.

If your electricity bill has increased in recent months, you can thank Donald Trump.

This is exactly why I've proposed the Cheap Energy Agenda. Because we can increase reliability and lower your bill at the same time.
