Illinois Republicans like Rep. Mary Miller, Rep. Mike Bost, and Rep. Darin LaHood just voted to take away health care from 13.7 million people — the majority working people simply without insurance. Why? All to give Trump’s friends at Mar-a-Lago another tax break. It’s shameful.

Trump is gutting Voice of America — the same tool that helped us win the Cold War — and replacing it with propaganda from OAN. He’s not defending America. He’s building his brand. And he’s making us vulnerable to real enemies. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/killing-th...

A “Constitutional obligation to ensure that our federal law enforcement is protected when executing their duties” — quite the double standard with Jan. 6 rioters who actually injured federal police officers. Discovery should be interesting.

The highest court in the land should not have the lowest ethical standards. I am proud to reintroduce the SCERT Act today with my friend and Senate counterpart, @whitehouse.senate.gov. We have the best court that money can buy, but we deserve a Supreme Court that can't be bought.

Thanks to Trump's disastrous USDA cuts, DMV food banks have lost 1.4 MILLION meals and food banks nationally are struggling to meet growing demand. There's nothing "efficient" about taking food from people in need. It's just more cruelty from Trump and his cabinet of billionaires.

Trump’s Billionaire Tax Scam: People making between about $51,000 and $17,000 could lose about $700 on average in after-tax income. On the other hand, people making between $51,000 and $17,000 PER DAY will make out like bandits.

Donald Trump's "big, beautiful" bill would kick hundreds of thousands in Illinois off Medicaid. This isn't just belt-tightening, it's a death sentence for everyday Americans — all in the name of tax breaks for his friends at Mar-a-Lago.
