The last thing the American people want is to be involved in another forever war. My statement on Trump's unconstitutional attack on Venezuela:

163 years ago, on New Year’s Day, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation — an essential first step towards ending slavery. We must remember our history, as well as continue to work to improve these United States🇺🇸

Happy New Year!🎉 May 2026 bring health and happiness to you and your loved ones.

2025 was a whirlwind—and I couldn’t have done it without you. Let’s take a look back at everything we did this year⏰⏮️

@housedemocrats.bsky.social want to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. We just need 4 Republicans to be brave enough to join us. This extension would allow Illinois to open up a special enrollment period, so even more Americans can get the healthcare they need.

Congratulations to Arnav from Fremd High School for winning this year's Congressional App Challenge! Arnav developed Oculare AI to help the millions of people who lack access to ophthalmologists and diagnostic equipment. And thank you to our student judges from Harper College!

Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Illinois has cost taxpayers $12.8 MILLION, according to an independent study from @ips-dc.org. Our federal government should be funding education and health care for Americans, not abusing our military for political stunts.

Happy Kwanzaa!❤️💚 As many Chicagoans celebrate the seven principles this week, let us reflect on the strength of family, community, and shared values that guide us forward.

Merry Christmas to all Chicago, and to all a goodnight!🎄🎁🎉 Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season!

Nearly HALF of all Americans are struggling to find food, health care, and housing that they can afford, according to a recent poll in @politico.com. Trump’s economy of #ScroogePolitics is bleeding Americans dry – right before Christmas!

Today, we celebrate 15 years since the repeal of the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. This harmful mandate banned LGBTQ+ Americans from the service — just like Trump's current ban on transgender servicemembers.

Due to the Trump administration’s horrific ICE raids in Chicago, annual revenue in Little Village (one of our historically Latino neighborhoods), has dropped by 50%. 911 calls from Little Village residents have dropped by 21%. And HALF of our city’s neighborhoods have seen school attendance drop.

Gregory Bovino and Trump's reign of terror have returned. I'm fighting to bring it to an end.

Proud to stand with my colleagues @quigley.house.gov, @mcbride.house.gov, @foushee.house.gov to put forward this common sense bill to restore trust in our communities and protect public safety.

While ICE is terrorizing communities in NC, Trump continues to bribe local police into performing ICE duties through the 287(g) program. I introduced the PROTECT Immigration Act with @quigley.house.gov, @mcbride.house.gov, and @jayapal.house.gov to stop this program that endangers communities.

Commissioner Degnen and I enjoyed attending the 47th Ward’s Holiday Senior Luncheon. @aldermanmattmartin.bsky.social knows how to spread some holiday cheer!🎀✨

Every day in Washington, I see Americans protesting for the #EpsteinFiles to be released. The law we passed in November gave Trump 30 days to release the files to the public. Now, he has 24 hours left.

I'm holding a press conference RIGHT NOW on the PROTECT Immigration Act — a bill to stop Trump from using local police in ICE raids. Join me and @jayapal.house.gov, @mcbride.house.gov, @foushee.house.gov, @aclu.org, and @immcouncil.org by tuning into the live below.

It's been two months since I demanded the DHS Inspector General investigate ICE's operations in Chicago, yet Gregory Bovino is back in our city.

Earlier this week, I met with the Immigration Committee of Old St. Patrick's Church. We discussed the work they are doing, especially after the wave of ICE raids this fall. I look forward to continue working together on protecting and welcoming our neighbors!

A white man killed students at Brown University this weekend. A white man trafficked, abused, and threatened over 1,000 girls for years, in connection to very powerful individuals. Should we deport all white men from our country?   This is how extreme you sound.

A few weeks ago, the Coast Guard said it would stop classifying swastikas and nooses as hate symbols, instead calling them “potentially divisive.” The Trump administration then bent over backwards to call this reporting false.    Now, the racist policy is actually in effect.

I just visited @thresholds.bsky.social, which provides housing and mental health care to people in need.    In the weeks leading up to Christmas, Trump is choosing #ScroogePolitics over people.

Trump is slashing funding for HUD and pushing a preposterous 50-year mortgage plan – all while Americans are living through a nationwide housing crisis. (read more below!)

My bill, the Great Lakes Fishery Research Reauthorization Act, just passed out of the House!🐟🎉   This legislation will keep sea lampreys (the ugly thing eating my head), from leeching onto and killing our fish in Lake Michigan.

U.S. Rep. Quigley (D) says that with Trump's attacks on Hispanic communities across Illinois are facing bigger challenges during the peak of COVID-19. "If they don't have a good holiday season, Chicago will lose a great number of a key component of our economy: our small businesses."

Instead of fixing our economy and helping Americans, Trump is playing #ScroogePolitics and holding healthcare hostage.

U.S. Rep. Quigley (D) tells WCPT's Joan Esposito that Ebenezer Scrooge from "A Christmas Carol" is less evil than the Republicans that passed health care, food security and housing cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill. "Scrooge would blush at what we're seeing here, and at least he was redeemable."

Happy Bill of Rights Day!🇺🇸   On this day in 1791, the United States ratified the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights. To read our entire Constitution, go to quigley.house.gov/about/united-states-constitution.

Today is the LAST day for Illinois residents to register for health insurance under the ACA, if they want uninterrupted coverage in the new year. You can register at getcoveredillinois.gov.

Happy Hanukkah to everyone celebrating this evening! May this festival of lights bring blessings to you and your family🕎✨

This week, I got to meet with Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S. Olga Stefanishyna, alongside my fellow Co-Chairs of the Ukraine Caucus. (more below!)

This week, House Republicans passed THREE BILLS to raise your electricity costs and abandon cheap, clean energy. Once again, they have chosen to double down on failed policies that have increased electricity prices 13% nationwide since the beginning of Trump’s term.

The White House just released Trump’s National Security Strategy. And just like him, it’s a mess. This entire plan puts America at risk, but I’m sharing his three worst ideas here. (🧵)

Under Trump, the United States does not have a science-based Environmental Protection Agency. We have partisans, led by Lee Zeldin, committed to denying decades of scientific research. They're hellbent on destroying our environment and censoring anyone who says otherwise.

December 15 is the LAST day Chicagoans can register for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, to ensure coverage on January 1, 2026.    Register at GetCoveredIllinois.gov today.

Did some shopping at the Des Plaines Winter Fair. While I was there, I met the team behind Soapie Squad. They make products free of artificial dyes and harsh chemicals, but they’re struggling under Trump’s economy. We need to stop Trump’s tariffs to keep small businesses like this one ‘afloat!’🧼🛁

Any Lucia Lopez Belloza is a freshman in college. She was supposed to fly home to Texas for Thanksgiving, but DHS deported her to Honduras – a country she hasn't been to since she was a little girl.

The real ‘war on Christmas’ is Trump’s destruction of the economy. Many Americans won’t be able to buy presents for their kids this year.

In another slight to the legacy of Black Americans, Trump just took away free-entry days at our national parks for Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth. This blatant racism cannot go unnoticed or unchallenged.

The Trump administration has diverted 80% of ATF agents from gun trafficking cases – all to target immigrants.   He’s letting actual criminals get off scot-free while attacking cities like Chicago.

Happy Holidays! I was honored to help Reverend Wille light the All Saints Church Christmas tree in Ravenswood this weekend. Hope everyone's enjoying the holiday season🎄🕯️❄️

Reprehensible. Admiral Levine is a four-star officer who has spent her life keeping Americans healthy.

This isn’t the respect she deserves.

ICE detained new mother Nayra days after she gave birth while she was headed to visit her baby in the NICU. Then, she was thrown in Broadview with no postpartum care and limited food and water despite being a Type 1 diabetic. (More below)

On December 7, 1941, soldiers, sailors, and civilians were attacked on U.S. soil. Today, we honor their memory and remember the heroes who served that day and the many days after.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill isn’t just stealing your health care – it’s going to cut $5.8 BILLION from Illinois’ economy and put 49,000 jobs at risk. Instead of cutting health care and shrinking our economy, we need to invest in America's growth.

On this day in 1865, the majority of states ratified the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery in America. We must never forget the horrors of slavery and must continue to recommit ourselves to the pursuit of liberty and justice for all.

On this day 70 years ago, activists in Alabama began a year-long boycott of the bus system. This nonviolent mass protest challenged racial segregation in America and paved the way for the rest of the Civil Rights movement. Today, we remember their hard work and commitment to equality & justice.

Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency isn’t just going after the environment – they’re also targeting your health. I’m joining over 100 Democrats in demanding they reinstate commonsense water regulations. America has to be a country with clean drinking water.

Trump has always had a strange obsession with the first and only Somali-American Member of Congress. Now, he's targeting the Somali community in Minnesota because of it. It's racist and disgusting.
