Trump's militarized ICE operations continue across the country and ICE agents have shot a man dead in Biddeford, Maine—just days after another fatal ICE shooting in Texas. ICE and CBP abuses will continue until we ensure real transparency and real accountability.

The Russian cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover—a major manufacturer with an important role in the U.K.'s defense industrial base—should be a wake-up call. Today I called on CISA to develop a strategy to protect America's defense supply chains and critical infrastructure from similar attacks.

The Trump Administration is threatening to withhold more than $1 billion in FEMA counterterrorism funding unless states adopt President Trump's voter suppression agenda. That's unconstitutional, dangerous, and has nothing to do with preventing terrorism. Today I demanded FEMA reverse course.

The courts blocked Trump's illegal mail voting restrictions. Now it's time for the Postal Service to make clear it will follow the law. Ranking Member Morelle and I demanded that commitment from Postmaster General Steiner and called on him to testify. If he refuses, I'll pursue a subpoena.

As America begins its 250th anniversary year, I'm excited to share this submission from the City of Elgin to my office's America250 Photo Contest. This photo was taken during the city's 2025 Fourth of July Parade, celebrating the community spirit that brings neighbors together each Independence Day.

Happy Independence Day! As we celebrate our nation's 250th year, may we honor the generations who fought to secure our freedom by continuing the work of strengthening our democracy. Wishing everyone across Illinois and our country a safe and joyful Fourth of July!

Leon Black paid Jeffrey Epstein roughly $170 million after Epstein was a convicted sex offender. The American people deserve answers about why those payments were made, what they were really for, and who else may have been involved. That's exactly what our investigation is seeking to uncover.

Five years ago, my investigation exposed dangerous levels of toxic heavy metals in baby food. Since then, I've fought to turn those findings into enforceable federal protections but FDA hasn't acted. Today, I urged HHS Secretary Kennedy Jr. to finally establish those standards and protect our kids.

President Trump's failed war with Iran gave Tehran new leverage over one of the world's most important shipping lanes. As long as that leverage remains, American families could keep paying the price through higher costs at the pump.

Three million pages of Epstein-related records remain in the Justice Department's possession. The public deserves transparency, survivors deserve justice, and anyone who enabled Epstein's crimes must be held accountable. The cover-up must end.

Billionaire Leon Black refused to answer key questions about his financial relationship with Epstein during a voluntary interview, so the Oversight Committee subpoenaed him to testify. We will keep following the money until survivors get the transparency, answers, and accountability they deserve.

Today we urged the EPA to start monitoring microplastics in drinking water—an essential first step toward ensuring clean, safe water for every community.

President Trump called a bipartisan bill to make housing more affordable "a yawn." Tell that to families struggling to afford rent, buy a home, or keep up with the cost of living. Lowering costs isn't a distraction—it's one of Congress's most important responsibilities.

Congress has a constitutional duty to decide when America goes to war—not simply rubber-stamp the President's decisions after the fact. When lawmakers refuse to exercise that responsibility, they fail both the Constitution and the American people.

President Trump's illegal war with Iran and subsequentl deal didn't eliminate Tehran's leverage over the Strait of Hormuz—it preserved it. As long as Iran can threaten one of the world's most important shipping lanes, American families remain vulnerable to higher prices at the pump.

Today's Supreme Court decision reaffirms a fundamental constitutional principle: every child born in the United States is an American citizen. The Fourteenth Amendment is clear, and no president can rewrite the Constitution by executive order. My full statement:

President Trump's plan to restrict voting by mail could make it harder for military servicemembers to have their votes counted. The people defending our democracy shouldn't have to fight the White House to participate in it.

Toxic heavy metals have no place in baby food. Years ago, a congressional investigation I helped lead found that some manufacturers knowingly sold products containing dangerous levels of arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury. That's why I introduced the bipartisan Baby Food Safety Act.

President Trump openly suggested Bill Pulte could use his new position to investigate so-called "rigged elections." The Acting DNI's job is to protect our national security — not hunt for evidence of conspiracy theories that don't exist.

As the Trump Administration has repeatedly cast doubt on the safety and efficacy of vaccines, declining vaccination rates have helped fuel the nation's largest whooping cough outbreak in more than a decade. MAHA isn't making Americans healthier. It's making Americans hurt again.

Leon Black paid Jeffrey Epstein $158 million for supposed "tax advice" after Epstein's conviction for child prostitution. The public deserves transparency and answers about those payments, Black's relationship with Epstein, and the full scope of Epstein's network.

Weakening America's intelligence capabilities doesn't make us safer. After 9/11, Congress created the role of DNI to improve intelligence sharing and help prevent future attacks. We can't let President Trump put political vendettas ahead of our security.

If the Postal Service moves forward with President Trump's plan to restrict mail ballot delivery, I'll pursue a congressional subpoena of the Postmaster General and lead efforts to remove him from office.

The Trump Administration wants federal employees to sign indefinite, government-wide nondisclosure agreements that could discourage whistleblowers from reporting waste, fraud, and corruption. Rep. Greg Landsman and I are leading a 44-member effort urging the Administration to withdraw the proposal.

As we prepare to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, my office is launching an **America250 Photo Contest** for IL-08 residents. Submit a photo showing your connection to America by **June 26** for a chance to be featured on my social media and in a digital gallery: IL08.America250@mail.house.gov

When the Trump Administration eliminated specialized crisis services for LGBTQ+ youth through the 988 Lifeline, I led a bipartisan coalition to restore them. We got the funding approved. We got the restoration signed into law. Now the Administration must follow the law and restore the service.

If Trump's $1.8 billion anti-weaponization slush fund is really dead, DOJ should have no problem putting that in writing. So why won't they? Because they're still trying to bring it back.

Bill Pulte is completely unqualified to lead the intelligence community. I'm concerned that he'll spend more time pursuing Trump's political loyalty tests and election conspiracy theories than focusing on the foreign threats facing our country.

I led a bipartisan effort to restore the 988 Lifeline's specialized crisis services for LGBTQ+ youth after they were cut by the Trump Administration. We got it passed. We got it signed into law. Now it's time for the Administration to do its job and restore the service.

Yesterday in Chicago, I joined LGBTQ+ advocates, service providers, and young people to demand the restoration of the 988 crisis line's LGBTQ+ youth services. I've been leading the fight in Congress to bring this lifesaving resource back, and I won't stop until it is restored.
