Congress is heading home because Speaker Johnson refuses to allow a vote on a real extension of the ACA tax credits. By January 6, millions of Americans will already be paying hundreds or even thousands more for health care. I will not stop fighting to extend the credits.

Donald Trump’s war on public education continues. As a product of downstate Illinois public schools, I know how crucial these programs are to keep kids learning, safe, and supported. My office is fighting these cruel cuts because our children deserve better. www.wsiltv.com/news/educati...

Instead of working to lower premiums and health care costs, Republicans are more worried about throwing parents and doctors of transgender youth in jail. No parent should fear prosecution for trying to get their kid the care they need.

Let’s be clear: some prominent Republicans are calling for the mass expulsion of American citizens because they are Muslim. That is vile, unconstitutional, and profoundly un-American. This Islamophobic rhetoric must be condemned, full stop.

Masked federal agents have returned to Chicago-area neighborhoods, resuming surprise raids during the holidays. My office and I are actively monitoring these actions and will use every oversight and legislative tool to defend due process and hold these agencies accountable.

If the administration is serious about stopping drug trafficking, it should start by briefing Congress about Venezuela. There’s been no plan, no strategy, and no clear objective—only dangerous saber-rattling toward a conflict Americans don’t want.

Vile.

The attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney is heartbreaking and deeply disturbing. As Jewish families gathered to mark a sacred holiday, they were met with violence and hate. We must confront antisemitism wherever it appears. My full statement: krishnamoorthi.house.gov/media/press-...

The antisemitic attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney is a heartbreaking tragedy. We mourn the victims and condemn this act of hate. Antisemitism must be confronted wherever it appears, and we stand with the people of Australia and Jewish communities across the world. apnews.com/article/aust...

My heart is with the Brown University community after today’s devastating shooting in Providence. We mourn those killed & injured, and stand with students, families, faculty, and first responders during this frightening time. Congress must act to end gun violence. www.cnn.com/2025/12/13/u...

I’m extremely disappointed the Senate failed to extend critical ACA tax credits. Illinois families will feel the consequences of this inaction, and the House must take up similar legislation to keep the pressure on.

Loretto Hospital in Austin and Franklin Hospital in Benton warned me directly that Republican Medicaid cuts could force program closures, staffing reductions, or worse. I’m fighting to stop the “Large Lousy Law” and to keep these hospitals, and the communities they serve, alive.

An ICE operation in Elgin ended in a crash and the use of chemical irritants that sent residents for medical treatment. That’s unacceptable. I’m demanding answers from ICE and DHS about how this happened — and what accountability will follow. krishnamoorthi.house.gov/media/press-...

Ghislaine Maxwell is petitioning for leniency. Let me be clear: No way. No how. She enabled and perpetuated unimaginable abuse. There must be zero clemency, zero pardons, and zero leniency for someone who helped destroy so many lives.

Bernie Bluestein and the legendary Ghost Army helped liberate Europe from fascism and tyranny. Renaming the Palatine Post Office in his honor will ensure our community never forgets his service. I urge the full House to bring this bill forward without delay.

The reports about Secretary Hegseth authorizing a strike on survivors are deeply alarming. If true, these orders would violate U.S. and international law. We must conduct full, independent oversight to determine the facts immediately.

Swastikas and nooses are not “potentially divisive” — they are symbols of antisemitism, racism, and terror. We need answers on how and why the Coast Guard chose to diminish the severity of its policy toward these symbols of hate. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Tomorrow, I will vote to release the Epstein files. Survivors deserve justice, and the public deserves the truth. These records—potentially including financial documents revealing Epstein’s associates—are key to getting to the bottom of what happened and preventing future abuse.

Donald Trump’s promises aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. The affordability of American health care can’t depend on him keeping his word — and I won’t support any deal built on delay, deception, and empty promises. My full statement:

What happened at the Chicago child care center was appalling. No parent should fear that dropping off their child could turn into an ICE raid. I’m calling for full accountability from DHS and every contractor involved. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

SNAP’s contingency fund has enough to ensure every one of the 42 million Americans who rely on it gets a full payment. The Trump administration’s choice to send partial benefits anyway is political and needlessly cruel.

I am heartbroken to learn of the tragic loss suffered by Darren and Cindy Bailey and their family. My deepest condolences and prayers are with them as they mourn the passing of their son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. www.fox32chicago.com/news/darren-...

It’s unacceptable—and dangerous—that in 2025 we’re hearing elected officials call for the mass removal of Indian Americans. This rhetoric echoes the cruelty of Donald Trump’s mass ICE raids and fuels a climate of fear that harms families across our nation. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

I demanded access to the Broadview ICE facility to conduct oversight — as is my right as a Member of Congress. I was denied. No accountability. No transparency. THIS is the Trump Administration.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Sister Jean. Her faith, wisdom, and spirit were a bridge across generations, inspiring not just Loyola students and athletes, but all of us who believe in service, hope, and community. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/s...

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem won’t let the American people see what is going on beyond this barricade at the Broadview ICE facility — even as ICE terrorizes our Illinois communities. It’s absurd and it’s un-American. We demand transparency and accountability NOW.

Donald Trump’s threats to jail Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson are what autocrats do — not American presidents. In America, we uphold the rule of law. We don’t imprison our political opponents — we defend democracy. And I’ll keep fighting to make sure we always do.

President Trump didn’t just shut down the government to score political points—he’s trying to shut down the truth. As investigations close in on Epstein’s network, his allies are now blocking Congress from being sworn in. They’re terrified of transparency.

Secretary Noem is abusing her power, spreading baseless conspiracy theories to justify militarizing our streets. She must answer for it under oath. That’s why I introduced legislation to stop any president from federalizing the National Guard without a governor’s consent.

Unprecedented and un-American. Donald Trump is deploying Texas National Guard troops to Illinois over our Governor’s objections—an abuse of power that violates the rights of all Americans. We will not yield to tyranny. www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/c...

A militarized operation against Americans is happening in Chicago right now. Armored vehicles and masked agents targeting peaceful protesters have no place in a free society. Illinois is not a war zone and I will keep fighting to protect our communities. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

I’m heartbroken by the horrific attack at a church in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan. My prayers are with the victims, their families, and the entire community. No one should fear for their life in a place of worship—we must confront this epidemic of violence. www.npr.org/2025/09/28/n...

President Trump is refusing to negotiate to keep the government open and extend health care tax credits. If he won't come to the table, 30,000 in my district face skyrocketing premiums & 27,000 will lose coverage—a 60-year-old couple could pay $13,000 more. I'm fighting for a deal to save coverage.

After the president demanded prosecutions of his political opponents, the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey raises grave questions about whether the Justice Department is being used for vengeance instead of justice. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/forme...

Awful news out of Dallas this morning. My team and I are monitoring reports of the shooting at the Dallas ICE facility. We are praying for the victims and their families. Grateful to first responders for their swift action. We need clear answers about what happened. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

Americans have a right to peacefully protest and speak out about government policy. At Broadview today, ICE answered with tear gas & pepper spray. I will not stop fighting for accountability. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/19/t...

President Trump’s dismissal of violence faced by women is outrageous and insulting. But given his past friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, this attitude comes as no surprise.

Dawn Hunt is a daughter of Chicago and a victim of a gross miscarriage of justice. She and other Americans should not languish in Chinese prisons and be unjustly detained by the CCP. I’ve been fighting to bring them home—and America will never abandon its own. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

The ICE raids in Elgin and Des Plaines are shameful and reckless. U.S. citizens were cuffed, detained, and tased. Families, small businesses, and our economy are paying the price for Trump’s political gimmicks.

The Trump administration is using the levers of government to silence speech it doesn’t like. Pushing Jimmy Kimmel off the air under FCC pressure is censorship, plain and simple—and it’s a dangerous assault on the First Amendment. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/b...

In Elgin today, a U.S. citizen was cuffed and dragged from his own home during the Trump Admin's reckless “Operation Midway Blitz.” These mass raids are terrorizing communities as just the latest example of a blatant disregard for civil rights and due process. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/16/e...

I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former Illinois Governor Jim Edgar. His legacy of service, bipartisanship & community will not be forgotten. Priya and I send our deepest condolences to his family.

President Trump slashed renewable energy programs—leaving Illinois families with higher bills this summer. I’ll keep fighting for clean energy that lowers costs and strengthens our economy.

The lives lost on September 11, 2001, in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Stoystown, PA, will never be forgotten. And we will always be grateful for the courage shown by the first responders who risked and sacrificed their own lives to save others.

I’m horrified by the news that Charlie Kirk has been shot. My prayers are with him, his family, and all affected. Political violence is unacceptable in every form. If violence replaces dialogue, none of us are safe.

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse deserve full transparency. We still don’t have most of the financial records, including over $1B in wire transfers, that could reveal the truth. The Justice Dept. must release the Epstein files now, and I won't stop fighting to get them.

This is disturbing, disgusting, and extremely troubling. Trump didn’t just leave a salacious note in Epstein’s Birthday Book - he added a lewd drawing, then lied about it for years. If he lied about this, what else is he hiding? The full Epstein files must be released now.

Americans are paying the price for Trump’s failed tariff war. Now GOP cuts to Medicaid and SNAP will hit families even harder. It’s time to fight for an economy and policies that work for everyone.
