Hope this helps!

The president now believes Ukraine can win the war against Russia.    I appreciate this shift, but Trump has to turn those words into action. We need sanctions, aid, and accountability.

The @idph.bsky.social Immunization Committee is parting ways with federal guidelines on COVID-19 vaccines — and I agree with them wholeheartedly. With conspiracy theorists like RFK Jr. at the federal level, I am proud of our state for standing up for science and lifesaving public health tools.

Republicans demand an extreme spending plan, Democrats propose an alternative. Democrats are willing to negotiate, while the so-called dealmaker-in-chief refuses to take a meeting. Republicans would rather shut the government down than work together for the American people.

On Sunday, I joined hundreds of Chicagoans in watching the Chicago River Swim. Organized by A Long Swim charity, the river swim joins many open-water swimming events in raising money for ALS research. (1/2)

Shanah Tovah! Wishing a happy and healthy new year to the Chicago Jewish community. May this time of renewal bring peace and happiness to you and your loved ones.

This regime relies on obedience. Speaking out works.

“For the fourth time, Russia marks the UN General Assembly with murder,” President Zelenskyy says. 3 killed, 30+ injured in another massive Russian attack this past weekend. And Trump? Still calling himself a peacemaker but refusing to act. We must stand with Ukraine—fully and without hesitation.

Comedians are cancelled for disagreeing with the president. Historical sites are being forced to erase history. And now reporters are no longer allowed to report. 

This is Kremlin-level censorship.

Yesterday marked the first "Wadee Day" in Illinois. Nearly two years ago, 6 year-old Palestinian-American Wadee AlFayoumi was murdered in a horrendous hate crime. (1/2)

ICE is arresting U.S. citizens—and Kristi Noem keeps making excuses for these mistakes. Under her watch, DHS is failing to meet the bare minimum standards of government competency. There’s no excuse for this.

Dreamers have legal protection nationwide—but ICE agents are still targeting them for detention and deportation. And given the lack of transparency and scale of the recent ICE raids in cities like Chicago, it’s impossible to know how many people have been taken. (1/2)

Americans want clean air, not more pollution. I joined over 100 @housedemocrats.bsky.social in urging the EPA to scrap its reckless rollback of #CleanerCars & #CleanerTrucks standards.

On this day in 2011, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” ended. But 14 years later, our servicemembers are still fighting to be treated equally. As Vice-Chair of the @equality.house.gov, I won't rest until every American can serve freely & openly as themselves.

I voted against the Republican funding bill today. This is a pivotal time in our history. We must stand up against this wannabe-king. Read my full statement here: quigley.house.gov/media-center...

This week, I met with Eric Dane and the team at @iamals.bsky.social to discuss the pending reauthorization of my 2021 bill, the ACT for ALS. The ACT for ALS had the most bipartisan cosponsors 117th Congress with over 330 cosponsors in the House. (1/2)

ICE pepper sprayed civilians & reporters outside of a facility near Chicago being used for detention. This is another dangerous escalation of violence against our rights. Our community will not be silenced and will not back down.

Russian fighter jets just entered Estonia's airspace. This is the third time in two weeks that Putin has violated the independence of a NATO member. President Trump needs to act fast, before this war spreads around the globe.

Let’s review. X: owned by Trump’s largest donor Facebook: owner gave Trump $1M TikTok: soon operated by billionaire Trump donors ABC: fired Kimmel, gave Trump $15M CBS: fired Colbert, gave Trump $16M This isn't normal. Free speech doesn't belong to billionaires.

Political violence has no place in America, but I cannot in good conscience vote to honor a legacy like this. Read my full statement here.

After months of delay, Trump has reportedly allowed weapons—paid for by NATO—to go to Ukraine. It's a step in the right direction, and I hope it continues.

RFK Jr.’s panel just voted to STOP recommending the combined vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox.   This political move puts thousands of our kids at risk. It will also force many parents to pay out-of-pocket for this shot, and cause shortages of other vaccines.

I want to thank the Little Village community for having me at their Mexican independence celebration this weekend. Amid terrifying ICE raids and Trump’s threats, their resilience is unmatched. @chuygarcia.house.gov

If Trump wants to get Putin’s attention, he and Republicans have to work with Democrats on defending Ukraine. The United States needs to pass bipartisan sanctions and a supplemental aid package. (1/2)

Trump's renaming of the Department of Defense to the Department of War could cost taxpayers up to $1 BILLION. So much for fighting waste, fraud, and abuse.

Today, we honor the U.S Constitution🇺🇸 Our three branches of government, freedom of speech, due process—our entire democracy is outlined in this document. (1/2)

Tonight I'll be joining former Chicago Congresswoman Marie Newman's Substack show to discuss the rise of political violence, a possible government shutdown, and other current events. @marienewman.bsky.social Join us here at 7 pm Central: open.substack.com/live-stream/...

Back-to-school-season is in full swing! Great seeing everyone at the Ravenswood Elementary Block Party. Thanks for having me!🍎✏️

It's National App Challenge Day, and there are only a few weeks left to submit for the Congressional App Challenge! #Congress4CS The CAC is a open to middle & high school students in our district. Students can work as individuals or on teams to create an app for submission.

Last week, House Republicans passed their annual budget for the Defense Department, with attacks on trans servicemembers and military families. (1/2)

Enjoyed seeing everyone at the 47th Ward's Oktoberfest Senior Luncheon! And made some new furry friends🐾

Tomorrow night, I’ll be live on Substack with former Chicago Congresswoman Marie Newman. We’ll discuss the rise of political violence and other current events. @marienewman.bsky.social Tune in tomorrow at 7 pm Central: open.substack.com/live-stream/...

America's health can not lie in the hands of an anti-vaxxer who trusts raw milk and spray tans over science. I'm calling on my Republican colleagues to join me in demanding the resignation of RFK Jr. politi.co/4gtotK7

As the last few weeks have shown, gun violence is far too prevalent in this country. But we have the power to stop that. I’m proud to join @mikethompson.house.gov, @doggett.house.gov, and other Democrats in demanding Speaker Mike Johnson and Congressional Republicans pass commonsense gun reform.

I just heard Robert Redford, actor and environmental activist, passed away. I always enjoyed his films, especially "The Candidate." Rest in peace.

By now, you’ve probably seen these propaganda banners sprouting up on federal buildings. We’ve uncovered how much these banners cost through never-before-seen documents. And why they’re illegal: (Thread 🧵)

Today is National Voter Registration Day! Your right to vote is sacred and essential to our democracy. Learn how to register to vote today at vote.gov.

House Republicans just voted down my amendments to fully fund Meals on Wheels and HIV/AIDS prevention. They're happy to give even more to the wealthiest with giant tax breaks, but when it comes to helping people in need, there's never enough to go around.

My ‘Miracle on Ice’ bill just passed out of Congress!🎉🏅🏒

This bill will award the 1980 U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team, which beat the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War, with a Congressional Gold Medal. (1/2)

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Join me in taking some time this month to celebrate our diverse Latino and Hispanic communities across Chicago.

Trump’s tariff chaos is wrecking our local businesses, including toy companies Learning Resources and Hand2mind based in Vernon Hills. Read more in Crain’s Chicago.

📆MARK YOUR CALENDARS📆 My team and I will be hosting our FALL SENIOR FAIR & VACCINE CLINIC on Thursday, September 25th! This FREE resource fair will connect any senior citizen with services they need and offer flu, shingles, COVID-19, and other immunizations.

We should not be playing partisan games on critical issues like gun violence.    Earlier this week, my colleagues backed my amendment to save funding for gun violence prevention research. I am thankful for their support. (1/2)

I’m closely monitoring the events in Franklin Park, and there must be a thorough, independent investigation into what took place. Trump has spent the last few weeks ratcheting up tensions in Chicagoland, ultimately making the situation worse for everyone.

After 14 extraordinary seasons, Anthony Rizzo will retire as a Chicago Cub. Thank you for all the incredible games at Wrigley, Rizzo!

As Co-Chairs of the Ukraine Caucus, @repmarcykaptur.bsky.social, Rep. Fitzpatrick, Rep. Wilson, and I unequivocally condemn Russia’s reckless and illegal violation of Polish airspace and its ongoing brutal and illegal attacks on Ukraine. Read our statement here.

Political violence is abhorrent and spreading in the US. Leaders across the political spectrum must play a role in lowering the temperature. If Americans fear that expressing their views will lead to violence, it becomes impossible to engage in debate, and the democratic system will fail.

Yesterday, there were two instances of horrifying gun violence at schools. My thoughts are with the students of Evergreen High School, the students of Utah Valley in the wake of Charlie Kirk's shooting, and his young family, who joined the ranks of those who have lost a family member to a bullet.

On September 11, 2001, thousands of innocent lives were stolen in the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. In addition to remembering the victims, please take a moment to honor the survivors, first responders, and families whose lives were forever changed. #NeverForget

House Republicans are trying to ban research on gun violence—when it is the leading cause of death for children and teens in the United States. And more than half of gun deaths are suicides, with that number rising to 70% for veterans. (1/2)
