I know that this was a difficult week for the people of Chicago, especially for parents of young children. I want to remind you that, as a member of the Homeland Security Committee, I am determined to use every tool at my disposal to put a stop to an agency that is terrorizing our families.

As we file for re-election at such a dark time for our communities, I am more clear than ever on why you sent me to fight for you in DC. We will continue to challenge the status quo, keep fighting to advance a working people's agenda, and stand up to confront authoritarianism.

If you are wondering what you can do to stop the atrocities in Gaza, I have a bill for that. This Block the Bombs Act would withhold weapons to Israel and demand they comply with US and international human rights laws. Is your member of Congress a sponsor?
