Last week, Chair @repschneider.bsky.social spoke to @daniellamicaela.bsky.social with @notus.com about New Dems' American Promise—our plan for how to lower costs, tackle our nation's biggest challenges, and restore Americans' faith in government. Watch their discussion ⬇️

This is unacceptable. Every death in ICE custody deserves a full, transparent investigation, and where negligence or misconduct is found, those responsible must be held accountable. apnews.com/article/ice-...

President Trump is the consummate man without a plan: He started a trade war with illegal tariffs and then started an air and missile war with Iran—all with no endgame in sight. Now families are paying the price with rising inflation, skyrocketing gas prices, and unaffordable grocery bills.

Grief cannot be measured, especially in the face of an unimaginable tragedy like losing a child. That is why I was proud to introduce the Sarah Grace-Farley-Kluger-Barklage Act, legislation that would provide bereavement leave for parents mourning the loss of a child. thehill.com/opinion/heal...

For 76 days, Democrats and I have pushed to fund critical Department of Homeland Security agencies. Every one of those days, House Republicans blocked that funding. Today, they abruptly reversed course and joined Democrats to pass a DHS funding bill.

We don’t always recognize the heroes amongst us until it is too late. Orland Rivas is such a hero. Sending condolences to his family, his students and the entire Buffalo Grove community. May his memory forever be a blessing. www.dailyherald.com/20260425/new...

While your bills go up, Trump’s billionaire buddies are lining their pockets with massive tax breaks.

I am saddened by the passing of my friend and former colleague, Rep. Eliot Engel of New York. He was a steadfast leader who believed deeply in our country and the values that unite us. May his memory be a blessing.

Once again we can all say “good riddance” to Pam Bondi as she heads for the exits. Trump’s cabinet members are little more than a bunch of incompetent sycophants. Sadly, the President has given us no reason to expect an upgrade.

This standoff is Republican-made, and it shows exactly where their priorities lie.

This is your reminder that on Friday House Republicans blocked a bipartisan deal to fund DHS, choosing harmful immigration demands over paying TSA agents and essential workers who’ve gone more than 6 weeks without pay. There was a path to end the shutdown. They chose to sabotage it.

The reports that the US errantly struck a girl's school in Iran are absolutely devastating. I fear this tragedy is not a consequence of the fog of war, but of a reckless rush to war. My statement on the strike:

Groceries cost more. Rent costs more. And now jobs are disappearing. February’s jobs report shows the effects Trump’s policies are having on families already struggling to afford the basics. www.cnbc.com/2026/03/06/f...

Kristi Noem may finally be gone – I have been calling for her resignation or firing for months – but I have no doubt that Trump Administration’s chaotic, cruel, and violent immigration enforcement policies will continue unless we stand firm to force desperately needed reforms.

Congress and the American people deserve answers from the President on the war with Iran. Why are we at war? What are the goals? What's the strategy? What's the end game? How will we get Americans in the impacted region out quickly and safely?

My office is closely monitoring the ongoing military action in the Middle East. American citizens currently in the Middle East should follow Department of State advisories and guidance on the latest security alerts issued by the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.

Our Constitution explicitly gives Congress the exclusive power to declare war. The President of the United States is not allowed to take our nation to war without authorization from Congress. Speaker Johnson should immediately call the House back into session. My statement on Iran:

We cannot let up the pressure on the administration when it comes to releasing the full Epstein files. This latest report raises serious concerns about continued obstruction and a potential cover-up. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

My office is closely monitoring ongoing events in Mexico.

The cost of Trump’s tariff chaos is real, for American families, small business owners, and retirement accounts. It’s finally coming to an end. My statement...

They gutted Medicaid, slashed food assistance programs, and took away the ACA tax credit to pay for this... $38 billion in ICE warehouses.

Vaccine skeptics should never be in charge of decisions that affect public health, especially those whose harmful ideologies put women and children's lives at risk. thehill.com/policy/healt...

The SAVE America Act isn’t about election integrity; it’s about creating new barriers to the ballot. That’s why I'm voting NO.

What would you have done with the extra $1,000 you would have had last year if not for Trump's tariff tax? abcnews.go.com/Business/tru...

Not enough, Mr. Homan. End the siege of Minneapolis and every other community ICE and CBP are terrorizing. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...

Not a penny more for DHS until ICE and CBP stop their reign of terror.

Today, I joined my Democratic colleagues outside ICE headquarters to call for the immediate removal of Kristi Noem. She must go. If the President refuses to act, Congress has a responsibility to begin impeachment proceedings.

In what’s already been a harsh winter, Republican policies are about to leave 340,000 people in Illinois hungry. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/01/27/s...

The US government has the blood of an American citizen on its hands. Again.

ICE is out of control. I voted against the DHS funding bill that would allow ice to continue its terror unchecked.

ICE is out of control. The House is scheduled to vote tomorrow on funding for the Department of Homeland Security, including ICE.

I will miss the wonderful community Pam and Larry created at Green Bay Cycles. Wishing them only great things in retirement. Ride on my friends. www.therecordnorthshore.org/2026/01/16/g...

365 days of chaos, fear, and paying more for less

President Trump and his Administration have finally found a way to use CHILDREN to punish blue states and individuals pushing back. We will not bend the knee to this frankly appalling misuse of power.

My bipartisan legislation has made it through committee with a 42-0 yes vote and is now on to the floor! The BARCODE Efficiency Act, which I am proud to co-lead with my colleague Congressman Rudy Yakym, will help modernize outdated IRS operations and speed up tax return processing for Americans.

Kristi Noem has got to go.

Last night, despite the opposition of Republican leadership, Congress PASSED legislation that extend ACA tax credits for three years and ensure millions of Americans aren't priced out of health insurance. Now it's on to the Senate.

A plaque is displayed outside my office that honors the brave men and women who defended our nation’s Capitol -- some who ultimately lost their lives. Speaker Johnson continues to refuse to formally unveil or display this plaque. www.dailyherald.com/20260105/nat...

Vaccines save lives. This is a political, short-sighted decision that will make children sick. Doctors and medical experts should inform our vaccine policies -- not the ill-informed whims of a long-time conspiracy theorist. www.cnn.com/2026/01/05/h...

Nicolas Maduro is a bad guy who deserves to be brought to justice. But that doesn't mean President Trump has blanket authority to send the US military into a foreign land without authorization by Congress.

I had 45 seconds to give Republicans a piece of my mind today on their failure to save Americans from skyrocketing healthcare costs. No one should have to choose between health insurance and financial ruin - but that's the choice Republicans are shoving down more than 20 million Americans' throats.

I sat down with Liz Hirsh Naftali for a candid conversation about marriage, mentors, leadership, and joy. It was a great opportunity to talk about life behind my public role – as a father and a husband. View the full episode of Capitol Coffee Connection here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AAc...

I just left the House floor where I voted NO on Republicans' partisan attempt to make life harder and more expensive for working families. Healthcare costs are skyrocketing. Failing to address that is a dereliction of duty.

I am back in Washington to vote NO on Republicans hyper-partisan bill that will let ACA tax credits expire and subject millions of Americans to skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Forty-eight days ago, I voted ‘No’ on giving President Trump unconstrained power to continue raising the cost of living for and ripping healthcare away from millions of hard-working Americans and their families. My position has not changed.

Americans are already suffering from an affordability crisis, and millions are on the cusp of more pain with their health insurance costs set to spike in 2026. Today I introduced the Keep Healthcare Affordable Act, a common sense, responsible solution to the healthcare affordability crisis.

Make it make sense.

Today we mark two years since one of the darkest days for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Today we remember all who were lost on October 7. Today we hold our breaths, hoping that an end to the war and a better future for the Middle East is on the horizon.

As President Trump continues to send masked agents into our community, scaring our kids, neighbors, and friends, it's important to know your rights. Please also call my Lincolnshire office if you need assistance with an immigration case -- 847-383-4870.

Trump and Republicans are LYING TO YOU when they claim that Democrats are trying to give healthcare to undocumented immigrants. Here are the facts 👇
