Dear Friends,

This week, I heard powerful testimonies from Americans across the country about how the Trump administration and Republican policies are hurting them.

In Chicago, I led a shadow hearing to shine light on ICE’s Gestapo tactics that have terrorized our immigrant communities. President Trump’s and Secretary Noem’s cruel immigration enforcement tears apart families, ignores due process, and destroys people’s lives.

In Washington, I heard from Americans who would be impacted by the expiration of ACA tax credits, which would raise people’s monthly health insurance bills. I’m fighting to keep healthcare affordable for everyone.


Holding ICE Accountable

I heard powerful testimony from Chicago families about the trauma, constitutional violations, and labor abuses caused by President Trump’s unlawful actions and ICE’s Gestapo-style tactics. 

Our community should not have to live in fear. 

I’m grateful to my colleagues who attended Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s shadow hearing, Kidnapped and Disappeared: Trump’s Assault on Chicago. Together, we’re demanding accountability and standing up for families whose rights and dignity have been trampled by President Trump and his reckless administration.

Standing Up for Families and Affordable Care

Image

As co-chair of the Steering and Policy Committee, I’ve heard a lot over the years—but this week’s testimony left me appalled. It’s clear that Republicans in Washington want to let the ACA premium tax credits expire, driving up families’ health costs. 

I represent urban, suburban, and rural Illinois, where I see how vital these programs are for working people and small businesses. I’ll keep fighting—alongside my colleagues and partners like Democracy Forward—to defend affordable healthcare and a government that serves everyone.
