Congresspeople have every right to conduct oversight - whenever, announced, or unannounced - at any ICE facility. Noem is running DHS as if respect for the law isn't part of her job. Does she respect the role of Congress as a coequal branch of government? Don't worry, I'll ask her May 14th.

From #IL03, Happy #SmallBusinessWeek! It was my honor to welcome @durbin.senate.gov & @reptedlieu.bsky.social to the Milwaukee Ave. Business Corridor to highlight the diverse entrepreneurs whose small businesses are the heart of our community.

Trump and Noem opened an ICE detention center in Newark without permission and in clear violation of the city's ordinances. And when confronted by Mayor Baraska, they did what authoritarians do. They arrested and disappeared him.

Great to join @ramirez.house.gov , @reptedlieu.bsky.social & local leaders in Logan Square during #SmallBusinessWeek. Chicago’s small businesses are the heart of our neighborhoods—but Trump-era SBA cuts & harmful tariffs are putting them at risk. We’re fighting back to protect & empower them.

Pope Leo's address to the people was beautiful and powerful. His call for the Church to be "building bridges, dialogue, always open to receiving with open arms for everyone, like this square, open to all, to all who need our charity, our presence, dialogue, love”.

For Ximena Arias-Cristobal--a 19-year-old student, caregiver, and friend--the US is the only home and community she has ever known.

We must deescalate and commit to diplomacy in the interest of peace. May all those impacted by the violence find safety and reunification with their loved ones. All people in the region deserve safe self-determination and dignified futures, free of violence. No one wins in war.

I am relieved to hear that no one was hurt during the overnight fire at Chicago Academy High School. Thank you to the first responders for your work to get the fire under control.

At no point has Netanyahu proven that he should be trusted. His plan to "strictly control" the humanitarian aid for Gaza is more of the same. 🧵

Did House Republicans vote to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America? Yes, yes they did. What a waste of time and resources. Did they vote to lower YOUR rent? Save YOUR Medicaid? Protect YOUR Social Security? Improve YOUR roads?

Congratulations to Chicagoan Robert Francis Prevost, Pope Leo 14th. As the spiritual leader of so many in our world and nation, I wish him wisdom and discernment in the days to come. May he lead with love, unity, and compassion for everyone.

So we are all on the same page: Trump is sending immigrants from Laos, Vietnam, and the Philippines to Libya. In Africa. Not to Laos, Vietnam, or the Philippines. Like they failed first grade geography. It is not only a bold defiance of the courts. It is absurdly, alarmingly, recklessly cruel.

Our trans siblings will not be erased. Republicans hateful choice to end monitoring of anti-trans violence makes us ALL less safe. It will only leave us less prepared and equipped to confront ALL forms of bigotry and to protect our communities.

To combat the criminal actions of the Trump Administration, we must ensure every immigrant has access to legal representation.

Noem, you came to Illinois and met the resistance. Heard you had to change the location of your presser. Don’t worry, though. The Homeland Security Committee room won't change. See you on May 14.

More than 100 days in, Trump's policies are making the affordable housing crisis worse! 🔨 Increased home construction costs 💵 Higher rents as landlords pass on costs to tenants 📉 Fewer homes due to market uncertainty

It doesn't matter how Republicans package it or how much they lie about it, their policies leave 4 million people without health care coverage. Their policy is that they don't care about you or your health care.

We need a different way forward that honors our shared humanity. That's why I am proud to join @repilhan.bsky.social & feminist leaders to forge a path for our country's foreign and domestic policy rooted in love, cooperation, and diplomacy.

It was wonderful to be with @repilhan.bsky.social, @ramirez.house.gov, and the Feminist Peace Initiative on Capitol Hill yesterday talking about the impact of war on our families and the urgent need to reject the idea that safety comes from dominance.

In one of the richest nations in the world, everyone should have access to comprehensive, free, quality health care! I was proud to join Access Living and SEIU HCII to affirm we need to fight for the revenue we need to provide the critical care our communities deserve. #taxtherich

The Trump Administration is expanding their capacity to mass detain all those who dare to dissent. Why? To make their for-profit prison buddies richer while they violate our rights.

Thank you, @schakowsky.house.gov for your unwavering dedication and service to the People's House for more than 25 years! As a trailblazing progressive in Congress and a fierce advocate for the people, your wisdom, vision, and leadership will be missed.

Netanyahu has proven over and over again that his endgame is not peace. He plans to seize Gaza. And he won't stop until he has robbed Palestinians of their sovereignty. The only way to stop Netanyahu's deadly campaign to "capture" Palestine is with an arms embargo.
