Ghislaine Maxwell is petitioning for leniency. Let me be clear: No way. No how.
She enabled and perpetuated unimaginable abuse.
There must be zero clemency, zero pardons, and zero leniency for someone who helped destroy so many lives.

Bernie Bluestein and the legendary Ghost Army helped liberate Europe from fascism and tyranny.
Renaming the Palatine Post Office in his honor will ensure our community never forgets his service.
I urge the full House to bring this bill forward without delay.

Tomorrow, I will vote to release the Epstein files. Survivors deserve justice, and the public deserves the truth. These records—potentially including financial documents revealing Epstein’s associates—are key to getting to the bottom of what happened and preventing future abuse.

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

I demanded access to the Broadview ICE facility to conduct oversight — as is my right as a Member of Congress.
I was denied.
No accountability. No transparency. THIS is the Trump Administration.

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem won’t let the American people see what is going on beyond this barricade at the Broadview ICE facility — even as ICE terrorizes our Illinois communities.
It’s absurd and it’s un-American. We demand transparency and accountability NOW.

Secretary Noem is abusing her power, spreading baseless conspiracy theories to justify militarizing our streets.
She must answer for it under oath. That’s why I introduced legislation to stop any president from federalizing the National Guard without a governor’s consent.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
