I recently visited the Greater West Town Project. They provide resources to help thousands of Chicagoans on our city’s West Side find jobs. With two alternative high schools and vocational training courses from woodworking to manufacturing, GWTP proves that not every career needs a college degree.

This weekend, Trump’s DOJ released an additional 3 million pages of the #EpsteinFiles, many with disturbing evidence against the President and his friends. There are still another 3 million pages that have yet to be released.

During my time in Congress, I’ve been incredibly proud to bring home nearly $4.3 million in funding for the park district. Every kid in every neighborhood should have access to the low-cost camps, sports, and other programming in our field houses.

Instead of standing with the Iranian people in their pursuit of democracy and freedom, President Trump is again turning to threats of military force. More below.

The average Illinois family spent $1,781 more in 2025 compared to 2024, due to Trump's inflationary tariffs.
To bring #inflation down, Speaker Johnson & the Republican majority must end these reckless tariffs for good.

I want to congratulate @paul-lisnek.bsky.social on a great 18 years with WGN’s Political Report! While I’m sad to see the show go, I look forward to continuing to enjoying Paul’s commentary elsewhere on @wgntv.com in the future.
Thanks, Paul!

After barely surviving Elon Musk's DOGE, the Social Security Administration is strapped and understaffed — all while 112,429 people in our district receive Social Security.

The #Epstein files released today included disturbing allegations of abusive and criminal actions taken by President Trump. These accounts are horrifying.

The Department of Justice just pulled this document of allegations against Donald Trump down off their website. Why? End the Coverup.
DOJ has since killed this link. This is what was there:

I recently met with Chicago Women in Trades — a nonprofit that supports female laborers (like welders, carpenters, and insulators) in male-dominated fields. Women only make up 4.3% of America's construction workforce.

Rest in peace, Ms. O’Hara.

I am incredibly relieved that @repilhan.bsky.social was not injured and so impressed that she continued her town hall after the attack. Nonetheless, an attack like this could easily have ended in serious injury or even her death.

The two federal agents who killed Alex Pretti were placed on administrative leave. This is a first step towards justice, but these agents must be held accountable.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor and mourn the millions of Jewish lives lost during the Holocaust at the hands of the evil Nazi regime. As we see antisemitism rise around the world, we must rededicate ourselves to the fight against it and stamp out bigotry wherever we find it. #NeverAgain

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Secretary Noem must go.
From lying to the public to obstructing Congress, her incompetence is putting Americans at risk. She has escalated tensions and cheered on the ICE behavior that led to Alex Pretti's killing this past weekend.
We must #ImpeachNoem.

The murder of Alex Pretti is shocking and horrifying. It is now abundantly clear that, under Trump, ICE cannot function as intended. ICE has been co-opted by Trump into a secret police to frighten, intimidate, and harm. As the saying goes, the fish rots from the head. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Timeline: A Moment-by-Moment Look at the Shooting of Alex Pretti
A moment-by-moment analysis of videos from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when shots were fired. The footage contradicts the federal government’s account of the fatal shooting.

Last week, the Trump administration announced it was terminating $2 billion for mental health services. They reversed this decision one day later after @reppaultonko.bsky.social, myself, and 100+ Democrats stood up for SAMHSA.
Pressure works. Keep calling, keep speaking up — we can not give in.

O'Hare was just named the busiest airport in the nation — with over 850,000 flights a year!
As a senior member of the committee that funds transportation in Congress, I’ve been proud to secure federal funding to expand and modernize O’Hare over the years.

ICE has brutally killed another person in Minneapolis. Trump has set lawless thugs loose on our streets and the more he encourages them, the more extreme their actions become.
ICE and CBP need to be pulled out of our cities immediately and the killers must be brought to justice.
