🔴 Millions are losing their health care. 🔴 Costs are rising for EVERYONE. 🔴 Insurers are leaving the marketplace. Shame on Republicans for creating this health care crisis and refusing to extend the ACA tax credits from my legislation. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...

Donald Trump is unstable, dangerous, and unable to function as Commander in Chief. His illegal war in Iran needs to end and he must be removed immediately. It’s time to invoke the 25th Amendment.

Staff Sergeant Jose Dueñez Jr. was an extraordinary hero. I’m so honored to lead this legislation to permanently commemorate his sacrifice and service.

Good news! I secured over $11 million in federal funding for our community. Here are just some of the projects this funding will support:

We need your voices in this work.

80% of maternal deaths in America are preventable, and the Momnibus is designed to stop them. @booker.senate.gov @adams.house.gov Full video here: youtu.be/oVmJdDbiWPQ?...

@booker.senate.gov, @adams.house.gov, and I have officially reintroduced the Momnibus: 14 evidence-based bills to end the maternal health crisis in America and save moms’ lives.

The #Momnibus is an evidence-based, comprehensive package of 14 bills designed to end our nation’s maternal health crisis. Learn more about each one here: linktr.ee/momnibus

It's official: The #Momnibus has been introduced in the 119th Congress!

My friends Charles and Gabby from 4Kira4Moms came to the Capitol today to celebrate the reintroduction of the #Momnibus, 14 historic pieces of legislation to end the maternal health crisis in America and save moms’ lives. f.io/yfWL44Hm

I secured over $1 million in federal funding to deliver clean drinking water from Lake Michigan to Joliet.

Honored to receive the 2026 YMCA Congressional Champion Award! I’m so proud of how our local YMCAs show up to support families in our community and am looking forward to continuing that important work together.

Constituents are asking me, “What’s going on with funding for ICE?” Let me explain with my favorite treat from the 14th District.

Our bill to rename the Plainfield Post Office to honor the life and legacy of Staff Sergeant Jose Dueñez Jr. is headed to the floor! www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Everyone deserves access to clean drinking water. I secured over $1 million to replace water pipes in Oglesby impacted by lead. www.starvedrock.media/wlpo/us-rep-...

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what it was like viewing the unredacted Epstein Files. This was my experience:

Apparently, there’s enough money to give a blank check to ICE but not enough money to address flooding in our community.

Kristi, good luck at your new job. Because when we retake the majority, we're holding you accountable for the last one you had.

Trump and Republicans in Congress worked night and day to deliver a huge tax break to billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. Families in our community are the ones who are paying the price.

I just viewed the Epstein files. A few things are clear: 1. Trump’s name is all over them. 2. The DOJ is breaking the law and denying the victims justice. 3. A single 3-hour viewing was not enough time. I will be back. If you have questions, let me know in the comments.

Community Project Funding is an opportunity for local governments and non-profit organizations to apply for direct federal funding. Applications are open now and are due this Friday, at 6:00 pm ET. For more information, visit my website: underwood.house.gov/services/com...

The SNAP changes from Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill went into effect on February 1. Here’s what they could mean for you and your family:

While everyday Americans struggle to pay their bills, Trump and Republicans in Congress handed billionaires the biggest tax cut in American history.

Trump and Republicans cut rural health care and meals for seniors to hand Bezos an 87% tax break: www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Exciting news! Our bill to honor Staff Sergeant Jose Dueñez Jr. passed out of committee and is headed to the House floor!

The President made it clear tonight he has no interest in solving the health care crisis that HE created.

My guest, Pastor Jennifer, joined me to remind us that the REAL State of the Union is a health care crisis that Donald Trump has created.

Tonight, I want the President to tell the families in my community why he let the tax credits that helped them afford health care expire.

Life is more expensive than ever. Millions of Americans are losing their health care. Our communities are living in fear. Donald Trump is going to come here and lie, but that is the REAL State of the Union.

Black History is American History, and our nation is a better place because of our culture and the extraordinary achievements of Black Americans.

Republicans in Congress handed a blank check to Border Patrol and ICE in the Big Ugly Bill last summer. This is not about resources. This is about choices.

Thrilled to welcome leaders from Waubonsee Community College, Joliet Junior College, and the College of DuPage to D.C.!

I secured $850,000 in federal funding to expand the White Oak Library District in Will County.

My two new bills help families in our community buy fresh, healthy food directly from local Illinois farmers. www.shawlocal.com/news/2026/02...

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.
