Trump’s new rule will make our nursing shortage worse and raise health care costs for everyone.

Today we remember and honor Clayton Parks, Trevor Wehner, Russell Beyer, Vicente Juarez, and Josh Pinkard, whose lives were taken when a senseless act of gun violence at the Henry Pratt Company tore through our community 7 years ago. We can & we must take action and do more to end these tragedies.

Last weekend, I toured the St. Thomas Coast Guard Station to conduct oversight and hear directly from our Coasties on their medical needs.

Kristi Noem must resign or be fired immediately.

Trump’s tariffs are crushing Illinois families and have made life completely unaffordable. Today, I’m voting to end his trade war with Canada, bring down costs, and hold this administration accountable.

With the SAVE America Act, Republicans are taking voting rights away from 69 million women. Here's how:

Secretary Noem has not appeared before our committee since last year. That was before her agents killed Renée Good and Alex Pretti. Before Greg Bovino terrorized my constituents during Operation Midway Blitz. Before a 5-year-old boy was used as bait. So where is she today?

I introduced two new bills to help local farmers sell fresh, locally grown food directly to families.

We’re more than one month into 2026 and Republicans have completely ignored the health care crisis they created while millions of Americans are facing skyrocketing costs.

My new bills work together to create new farmers’ markets in our communities and help families put fresh food on their tables.

In December, I told you about how Trump’s Department of Education is stripping nurses of our professional status and making school more expensive. From now until March 2, we need you to raise your voice and submit a public comment: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

I secured $1.1 million in federal funding to help make sure Montgomery, Oswego, and Yorkville have clean and safe drinking water.

POV: it’s the 3rd day of Black History Month and the Trump Administration is discriminating against Black farmers

Whenever I walk by the portrait of Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm in the Capitol, I’m reminded of her legacy, her impact, and her role in my life as one of my personal heroes. During Black History Month, I want to share that story with you.

No more masks. No more detaining U.S. citizens. No more racial profiling. The Department of Homeland Security is out of control and we are demanding accountability.

The health care savings from my legislation led to the LOWEST uninsured rate in American history and helped 4 in 5 Americans find health care for $10 or less a month. The Senate needs to act and restore these tax credits immediately.

Trade wars, tariffs, and tax breaks for billionaires – one year into Trump’s second term and Illinois families are paying the price.

Far too many Americans are being denied their fundamental freedoms because of Republicans’ extreme agenda. Abortion is health care, and everyone deserves to have control over their own body. Today’s anniversary of Roe v. Wade is a reminder that this fight continues.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com One year ago, President Trump took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he used the presidency to enrich himself, the @nytimes editorial board writes. This is how Trump has pocketed at least $1.4 billion.

The 2026 Homeland Security funding bill that the House is voting on this week is an easy NO for me. It’s a blank check with no accountability for DHS’s outrageous abuses.

Steve’s family soybean farm in Yorkville is feeling the impact of Trump’s devastating tariffs:

Last month, I demanded entry to ICE facilities in Illinois & Indiana. People deserve to know the truth about what’s happening in our communities, how federal resources are being used in their name, & how these operations are run. Read my oversight report here: underwood.house.gov/media/press-...

What’s the Senate waiting for?

Last week a strong bipartisan majority in the House passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for 3 years. But we need your help in the Senate:

Spent an incredible day with an even more incredible group of students from our community who I had the honor of nominating to U.S. Service Academies!

You’re invited to join us for the official opening of our DeKalb, Illinois office! RSVP here: bit.ly/underwoodope...

Happy 118th Founders’ Day, to my Sisters of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®! Here’s to 118 incredible years of service, sisterhood, and soaring higher together!

Just left the House floor after we passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!!

Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!

I urge my colleagues to vote YES, save our health care, and extend these incredibly popular tax credits for 3 more years.

Today we will finally vote on my bill to extend the incredibly popular health care tax credits from my legislation.

This week we're voting on my bill to save health care and extend the ACA tax credits for 3 years. Here's an update on what you can expect:

My friend @libradunn1.bsky.social and I got together today to reflect on January 6th:

Republicans have created a health care crisis.

Another incredible year serving the community I love most as your Representative in Congress! Happy New Year!

My two bipartisan bills would address the biggest challenges Illinois farmers tell me they're facing today.

Millions of Americans are about to see their health care costs skyrocket, but instead of voting on my bill to save health care, the Republican Speaker sent the entire House home for the holidays.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and happy holidays! I’m so thankful to able to serve you and your family in Congress. I hope everyone has a peaceful day with family and loved ones.

Before going home for the holidays, I prepared some gifts for some very deserving people across our nation’s capital.

I’m in Miami, Indiana today continuing my ICE oversight work by visiting the detention facility where our neighbors arrested in Operation Midway Blitz are being held. Here’s what I saw.

Continued my ICE oversight today by visiting two more facilities in Chicago and Lombard, Illinois. Here’s what you should know.

Just reintroduced my bipartisan bill, the NIH IMPROVE Act, with Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, Senator Katie Britt, and @booker.senate.gov, to fund lifesaving research at the National Institutes of Health to save moms’ lives!

My new bipartisan bill, the Baby Changing in Health Centers Act, helps make sure parents have a clean, accessible, and safe environment to take care of their kids when they visit a Community Health Center.

Just testified to @democrats-veterans.house.gov on my legislation to support our nation’s veterans. From improving the VA’s maternity care programs, to making sure veterans have better access to preventative health care services, I’m committed to fulfilling our nation’s promise to our veterans.

There's a health crisis in America, and Republicans are to blame. Since Republicans refuse to fix their mess, we're taking action. House Democrats have forced a vote on our bill to extend the ACA tax credits to save health care for the American people.

I was so honored to join the groundbreaking celebration for Safe Passage DeKalb’s new, 24/7 shelter and see the federal funding I secured for this project being put to work for this incredible cause.

Safe Passage DeKalb is a lifeline for survivors of domestic, sexual, and dating violence in our community. I joined the groundbreaking for their new 24/7 shelter, an incredible space I secured $2.5 million in federal funding for.

What was the Broadview ICE facility like? Unsanitary, uncomfortable, and smelly. There was no food vendor or medical care available. The way immigrants and U.S. citizens have been treated there is unacceptable.
