Proudly serving Illinois' 2nd Congressional District since 2013
@HouseDemocrats.bsky.social are standing shoulder to shoulder to protect your healthcare.

Republicans’ partisan funding bill jacks up healthcare costs for millions. I was a hell no—and I’ll keep fighting until every family has access to affordable healthcare.

First, President Trump slashed SNAP by nearly $200 billion.

Now, Trump is holding what’s left hostage—blocking $5B to feed hungry families.

America can afford to feed its people.

What we can’t afford is Trump’s cruelty.

Under Director Bovino and Secretary Noem’s reckless leadership, Border Patrol agents shouted “Little Village!” while posing at the Bean—mocking the same community they tear-gassed days earlier.

Their photo op tactics are disgusting.
Border Patrol Agents Pose At The Bean For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"

Time and time again, Republicans have shown they serve Donald Trump instead of the American people.

I joined the @HouseDemocrats in a discharge petition to force Speaker Johnson to hold a vote to extend the ACA tax credits by 3 years.

The American people deserve to have their voices heard.

This is DISTURBING. During an ICE raid in Chicago, an agent pointed a gun at unarmed neighbors.

Threatening people with guns is not how you build trust or ensure safety.

We need to hold ICE and Secretary Noem accountable for clear abuses of power.

Earlier this week, I joined the Harvard Club Chicago for a fireside chat. We talked about the Republican healthcare crisis, the shutdown, ICE’s harmful tactics in Chicago, and more.

I appreciated the chance to share how I’m fighting for our families in DC.

The “clean CR” proves Republicans’ focus isn’t on you—it’s on billionaires and January 6th insurrectionists.

Families deserve leaders who will fight to lower healthcare costs, not politicians who want to line their own pockets.

If it was clean, why do we have another vote?

Judge Cummings’ ruling is clear: Trump’s mass ICE raids in Illinois broke the law.
615 people will be released—but thousands more are still living in fear.
I stand with those demanding justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration system.
Hundreds detained as part of immigration 'Operation Midway Blitz' ordered released on bond
Hundreds Wednesday have been ordered released on bond after a federal judge weighed the arrests of those detained by federal agents as part of an immigration "blitz" that has shaken the Chicago area.

I am a HELL no on the Republican partisan funding bill.

Republicans gutted our healthcare, handed billionaires a $4.5 trillion tax break, and did nothing to lower costs.

@HouseDemocrats.bsky.social are in this fight until every family has access to affordable healthcare.

Fifty days is too long.

But today, Rep. Grijalva was finally sworn in. Welcome to the People’s House!

I’m excited to work with you and the rest of @housedemocrats.bsky.social to move our country forward.
Adelita Grijalva is FINALLY sworn in and is now officially a member of Congress
November 12, 2025 at 9:18 PM
The GOP’s “funding deal” abandons working families and allows Senators to receive payouts for sympathizing with Jan. 6 insurrectionists. Republicans only fight for themselves.

@HouseDemocrats.bsky.social are fighting for you to make life more affordable and lower healthcare costs.

These new emails make one thing clear: survivors & the American people deserve answers. Release the Epstein Files and deliver the accountability that’s long overdue.

Justice delayed is justice denied.
🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes.

Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.

It’s been 45 days since Arizonans elected Adelita Grijalva—and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

Speaker Johnson doesn’t want to swear her in because he’s hiding the Epstein Files. He’d rather protect criminals than listen to Arizonans’ choice.

I was elected 6 weeks ago. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me in.
Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me into office, an unprecedented and starkly undemocratic position that sets a very dangerous precedent.

Honoring the 29k+ veterans in our district this Veterans Day, —along with their families, caregivers, and friends. Your service represents the best of America, & I’m committed to fighting for the care, respect, & opportunities you deserve in Congress. Thank you. #VeteransDay

Ten days into the 2026 open enrollment period, and families are being hit with higher costs on their monthly health insurance bills because Republicans refuse to work with @HouseDemocrats.bsky.social to negotiate renewal of the ACA tax credits.
November 11, 2025 at 4:00 AM
When ICE raids daycares and neighborhoods, it doesn’t make us safer—it spreads fear.

Judge Ellis’s decision is a step toward accountability and basic human decency but we are far away from holding ICE accountable and to protecting families from ICE Gestapo-style tactics.
November 10, 2025 at 8:00 PM
This Senate deal abandons millions who rely on ACA credits for affordable healthcare.

Republicans caused this crisis—gutting Medicaid, giving billionaires $4T, and shutting down the gov for 40 days.

This fight isn't over; @housedemocrats.bsky.social will keep fighting.

Last month, I stopped by Strugglebeard Bakery, a small business in Hyde Park.

I spoke with Quinton, a retired Army veteran, about how trade and tax changes are shaping the future for local entrepreneurs. Thank you for your service and your work in Hyde Park!

What happened at this Chicago daycare is terrifying.

No child should watch armed agents storm their classroom.

No parent should wonder if drop-off is safe.

I’m demanding accountability from DHS & ICE because our communities deserve safety, not fear.

It’s Day 40 of the Republican shutdown, the longest in US history. Republicans have been on vacation for 51 days.

Families are missing paychecks, SNAP benefits are delayed, and healthcare costs keep climbing.

It’s time to put people before politics.
November 9, 2025 at 4:20 PM
I’m thrilled to welcome Dunkin’ and Jimmy John’s to Pullman!

These new businesses mean more jobs, more food options, and more opportunities for families on the far South Side.

When we invest in our neighborhoods, we build stronger communities.

A federal judge ruled that detainees at the Broadview Ice Facility must get enough food, water, and space.

It shouldn’t take a court order for people to be treated humanely.

I’ll keep fighting to end Operation Midway Blitz and hold ICE accountable.

Parents are opening empty fridges and wondering what to cook with nothing left.

SNAP is delayed.
Paychecks are frozen.
Healthcare costs are on the rise.

This is President Trump's impact on Americans.
November 8, 2025 at 6:00 PM
One in four residents in our district are struggling to put food on the table as President Trump refuses to fully fund SNAP.

The Emmaus Community is filling that gap with compassion and care, making sure families don’t go hungry. I’m grateful for their leadership and service.
November 8, 2025 at 12:02 AM
Families cannot afford this Republican healthcare crisis.
It’s already too expensive to be sick in this country, and it’s about to get worse. People’s healthcare bills will increase more than 200%. Republicans prioritize politics over the welfare of the people. That’s unacceptable.
