We need technical experts negotiating with Iran, not real estate dealers.
The House had the opportunity to rein in Trump's war in Iran, but Republicans have once again failed to join us in passing a War Powers Resolution.
Congress cannot abdicate its power as a co-equal branch of government and let this rogue President continue to unilaterally wage war.
This Tax Day, I've introduced the Autofill Act. It's long past time to make the tax filing process more efficient and less expensive for the American people.
Americans are keeping track of Trump's broken promises—and they're not happy.
It's Tax Day! Reminder that Republicans' so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" gave millionaires a tax cut 390 TIMES the size of what they gave to workers and families making less than $50,000.
Negotiations with Iran require technical experts—not real estate moguls and venture capitalists. JD Vance tried to broker a deal in a weekend, while the Iran Nuclear Deal took 20 months. This administration has gotten us into another endless war—and our servicemembers are less safe because of it.

My office is accepting applications from all high-school-age students residing in Illinois' 11th Congressional District.
While Trump and MAGA view Orbán as a blueprint, this is yet another sign their anti-democratic movement is failing.
Voters in Hungary have rejected Viktor Orbán's government in a loss for authoritarianism and a win for democracy. Orbán undermined democratic principals, weakened the judiciary, and attacked academia and free press.
Trump’s war in Iran isn’t happening in a vacuum—it’s sending Russian oil revenues skyrocketing and fueling their brutal invasion of Ukraine.
Not only is this war of choice hurting the U.S., it’s also emboldening our adversaries.

Trump started this war in Iran with no clear objective, threatened to end a civilization, and created a global oil crisis.
Now, as of March, the soaring price of gas is causing inflation to spike.
The CDC is delaying a report showing just how effective the COVID-19 vaccine is. It’s not hard to see why: the findings would go against RFK Jr.’s anti-vax, conspiracy-theorist agenda.
Public health suffers when science becomes a political target.
Today, House Democrats tried to pass a War Powers Resolution and end Trump's war of choice in Iran.
House Republicans blocked it.
Costs are soaring and U.S. servicemembers are being killed—yet Republicans still refuse to act.

Now is the time for Republicans to do what they know is right: speak out and join Democrats to take action to stop this administration before this war of choice spirals further out of control.
A president's words carry real consequences, and they should be used to de-escalate conflict, not push us closer to the brink. This is precisely why our Founding Fathers gave Congress the authority to declare war, rather than any single power-crazed individual.
The President of the United States openly threatening to wipe out an entire civilization is nauseating and un-American.

It's been one year since "Liberation Day," where Trump announced his illegal tariffs. Since then, the U.S. has lost 89,000 manufacturing jobs and families have paid an extra $1,700.
Yet another one of Trump's failed economic policies.
Pam Bondi's tenure as AG has been a disgrace. Good riddance.
Our fight for transparency and accountability on the Epstein files doesn't end here.
Trump’s incompetence is putting the lives of American servicemembers in danger and risking another prolonged entanglement in the Middle East. (5/5)
Strikes on nuclear facilities are not the same as eliminating fissile material, and do not provide the same assurances as international safeguards—like we had in the Iran Nuclear Deal. (4/5)
To date, the administration has not made a compelling case to Congress to address Iran’s existing stockpile of 60 percent enriched uranium—which is all that Iran needs to build several Hiroshima-style bombs. (3/5)
Last June, following their strikes on Fordow, the Trump Administration declared that they had "obliterated" Iran’s nuclear program. That was not a technically credible assessment then, and the fact that they are continuing to justify military action in Iran on nuclear grounds makes that clear. (2/5)
As Congress’ only Ph.D. physicist, I am particularly concerned about the nuclear considerations in Trump’s Iran war. (1/5)
