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.

President Trump’s military threats against Chicago are reckless and un-American. Chicago won’t be bullied.

Trump’s illegal attempt to deploy the National Guard to our cities was dangerous and wrong. I’m relieved the courts stopped him. But remember: these stunts are meant to distract from his mounting failures and the Epstein files.

Happy Labor Day! Today we honor the workers who built our nation and keep it moving forward. I’ll keep fighting for stronger protections, fair pay, and the dignity every American worker deserves.

President Trump’s reported plan to stage mass immigration raids from Naval Station Great Lakes is reckless and unacceptable. He may be willing to trample on the Constitution, but the people of Chicago never will — and neither will I. My full statement: krishnamoorthi.house.gov/media/press-...

Always grateful to meet with my friend Luis Gutiérrez — a trailblazer in Congress whose leadership and tireless fight for working families, immigrants, and justice have left an enduring legacy. His example continues to inspire me to carry forward the values he championed.

RFK Jr.’s purge of CDC scientists and restrictions on Covid vaccines aren’t just reckless—they’re potentially deadly. By gutting science and blocking vaccines, he’s endangering Americans to advance his anti-science crusade. www.cnn.com/2025/08/28/p...

Two young lives were stolen and 17 others injured today in Minneapolis in yet another horrific school shooting. My heart breaks for the families, students, and teachers of Annunciation Catholic School. We must come together to prevent the next tragedy. abcnews.go.com/US/shooting-...

President Trump is manufacturing a crisis in Chicago to distract from his failure to tackle rising prices and his attempts to bury the Epstein files. Sending troops into our city—as he did in D.C. & L.A.—is illegal and unconstitutional. We’ll fight it in court.

Trump’s attempt to militarize Chicago is illegal & reckless. I’ve introduced legislation to block any president from deploying troops without a governor’s request. I stand with Gov. Pritzker & Mayor Johnson in rejecting this abuse of power. My full statement: krishnamoorthi.house.gov/media/press-...

President Trump turning D.C. into a backdrop for military photo ops is dangerous and wrong. Our nation’s capital doesn’t need gold-plated SUVs or staged patrols — it needs leaders who respect democracy and the people who live here.

Mail-in voting is safe, secure, and allows more Americans to participate in our democratic process.

90 years ago today, Social Security became law, transforming life for seniors and giving Americans the chance to retire with dignity and security. That promise is as vital today as it was then, and I’ll never stop fighting to protect it for every American.

When automatic license plate reader technology is used to undermine local public safety laws, it erodes trust and violates policies meant to protect our communities. This investigation is about ensuring Americans are not tracked or targeted just for driving on our roads.

Trump’s plan is clear: manufacture crises to put the military in our streets. His proposed "quick reaction force," starting in D.C., is a dangerous move toward militarizing our cities and eroding our democracy. We must stop it before it takes hold.

President Trump’s threat to send the National Guard into Chicago is a reckless abuse of power, meant to distract from his economic failures, the affordability crisis, and attempts to bury the Epstein files. Our military defends our freedoms; it is not a political prop.

Donald Trump’s federal takeover of D.C.’s police and deployment of the National Guard is an illegitimate power grab meant to distract from his mismanagement of the economy and the affordability crisis — and his attempts to bury the Epstein files. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Jim Lovell embodied courage and grace, guiding Apollo 13 safely home from the edge of tragedy. The work of his crew and NASA’s team on the ground bound the world in wonder and proved that human resilience and ingenuity can light even the darkest hours. May he rest in peace.

Just because Senator Cornyn is worried about losing his seat doesn’t give him or Donald Trump the right to weaponize the FBI against elected officials. This is how Constitutional crises begin—and I’m digging in on legislation to stop it. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/u...

A bomb threat in St. Charles—in my district—targeted Texas lawmakers for defending free and fair elections. I’m grateful no one was harmed and thankful to law enforcement and Gov. Pritzker for their swift response. In this country, we settle differences with votes—not violence.

I’m heartbroken by the news out of Fort Stewart. My thoughts are with the injured soldiers, their families, and the entire military community during this difficult time. We owe them our deepest gratitude and support.

Ghislaine Maxwell was a central figure in one of the most disturbing child exploitation operations in modern history. There is no justification - none - for President Trump or anyone else to grant her a pardon or clemency.

Illinois is already a safe haven for millions of Americans seeking everything from reproductive health care to books banned in Republican-led states. I’m proud to stand with the Texas Dems who came here to protest outrageous redistricting power grabs.

Ryne Sandberg wasn’t just a Cubs legend—he was a symbol of grit, class, and quiet excellence. His heroic play and humble leadership inspired generations of Chicagoans, including me. Rest in peace, Ryno. Your legacy lives on in the heart of Wrigley.

Just weeks after standing with Planned Parenthood of Illinois, I’m heartened the courts have blocked President Trump’s cruel attempt to defund them. This is a victory for reproductive health care—and for every American who depends on it. I’ll keep fighting to protect access to care.

Sister Pat Murphy was a moral giant — a nun, an activist, and a relentless voice for the voiceless. Her compassion and courage helped shape Chicago’s immigrant justice movement. May her memory be a blessing. blockclubchicago.org/2025/07/24/s...

Yesterday, I had the honor of presenting a long-overdue Purple Heart to Sergeant First Class Joseph Leuze, a decorated combat medic who served in Vietnam, Desert Storm, and Afghanistan. His courage, sacrifice, and dedication to our nation will never be forgotten.

Ranking Member @congressmanraja.bsky.social Questions Witnesses on Countering CCP Economic Coercion www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6hj...

I’m glad steps are being taken to reduce phone wait times at the Social Security Administration. But it’s difficult to ignore the loss of 4,600 employees since March, driven in part by the damaging effects of DOGE.

President Trump’s reckless “Large Lousy Law” forces millions to jump through hoops just to eat or see a doctor. If Republicans think that’s fair, then they should meet the same standards. My BURDEN Act calls for no double standards in Congress.

If Republicans think millions of Americans should jump through hoops for Medicaid and SNAP, then members of Congress should do the same. My BURDEN Act holds lawmakers to the same red tape they’ve imposed on everyone else.

RFK Jr. lied about HIV and AIDS for decades. Now, he’s gutting the prevention and treatment programs that have saved millions of lives. Ranking Members Robert Garcia and @congressmanraja.bsky.social are demanding Secretary Kennedy reverse course and keep politics out of public health.

Everyone deserves due process. Everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Denying immigrants the right to a bond hearing violates these fundamental principles, regardless of the charges. No one should be jailed indefinitely without a hearing.

Maybe they should just call the Large Lousy Law what it actually is: A tax cut for the ultra-wealthy at the expense of working families.

78 cents for a forever stamp. The seventh price increase since 2021. All while service standards are dropping, and more post offices are closing. The horrific legacy of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy continues to haunt us all.

Using tariffs to punish Brazil for prosecuting Bolsonaro over his role in a failed coup is not sound trade policy. It’s authoritarian sympathy masquerading as diplomacy.

While Americans face record heat, wildfires, and lead-contaminated water, Trump’s EPA is wasting time on “chemtrails.” We need science-based leadership, not conspiracy-driven distractions.

Like every Democrat, Congressman @congressmanraja.bsky.social explains why he voted against the legislation.
