Donald Trump pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell in exchange for testimony to help himself would be beyond outrageous.
She helped run a child sex trafficking ring. I’m going to keep fighting for justice for the survivors.

Trump’s statements on Iran increasingly contradict each other The president has made conflicting comments on questions both large and small related to the war.

Donald Trump can’t keep basic facts straight about negotiations with Iran—forcing his own team to clean up after him. That chaos is especially dangerous when American lives and economic stability are on the line. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/04/20/trum...

Maxwell is seeking clemency. That’s exactly why I introduced a resolution making clear: no pardon, no commutation, no deals.

Trump’s reckless escalation in Iran is making America weaker—and raising serious questions about profiteering inside his Administration.
We are worse off today than when he started this war. We need to negotiate an end to this war now.

We were in the House until 2:30 a.m. last night because of GOP mismanagement of FISA—the law that governs U.S. surveillance authorities.
Rushing something this serious through in the dead of night isn’t governing. The American people deserve transparency and accountability.

Trump Smears Epstein Victims After Melania’s Demand The president’s comments come a week after Melania Trump dropped a bombshell statement seeking to distance herself from Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump calling Epstein survivors “victims or whatever” tells you everything.
Instead of accountability, he’s minimizing abuse and attacking those who faced it.
Survivors must be heard. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-smears-epstein-vic...

House hands Trump a win with failed Iran war powers vote It is the third time House Democrats have failed to pass an Iran war powers resolution.

House Republicans just gave Trump a pass to keep waging an unauthorized, illegal war with Iran.
That puts American lives at risk — and keeps driving up costs here at home. www.axios.com/2026/04/16/trump-iran-wa...

Congress must vote today to pass the Iran War Powers Resolution and end Donald Trump's illegal, unconstitutional war with Iran.

American lives have been lost, innocent civilians are being killed, and families are facing rising gas prices and higher costs.

The war in Iran should never have begun, and it must end now.
The human toll is rising, and families here at home are already paying the price at the gas pump. I’m continuing to push for a War Powers Resolution in Congress to end the hostilities and bring costs down.

Trump threatens to fire Powell, won’t halt probe of Fed renovations President Trump threatened Wednesday to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell if he doesn’t step down from the Fed in the coming weeks.

Trump’s threat to fire Jerome Powell is only adding to the massive uncertainty and rising costs his illegal war and other policies are causing for working families.

Today, the House passed my bill to rename the Palatine Post Office in honor of Bernie Bluestein — WWII hero, Ghost Army veteran, and beloved leader in our community.

A long-overdue tribute, and one that will help keep Bernie’s legacy alive in Palatine for generations.

The war in Iran hits home as housing rebound stalls Home sales and mortgage applications have slumped as higher rates weigh on consumers. That spells trouble for the GOP's pledges to address housing affordability.

Trump’s war in Iran isn’t just driving up gas prices — it’s making it harder for families to buy a home.
Higher mortgage rates, stalled home sales, and rising costs are hitting working families yet again.
Americans need lower costs, not another endless war.

Donald Trump’s reckless escalation with Iran is putting American lives and our national security at risk.

The only way to end this war and protect Americans is through diplomacy and coordination with our allies—not more chaos and reckless rhetoric from this White House.

The 25th Amendment must be invoked immediately to remove Donald Trump from office. His threat that “a whole civilization will die tonight” raises grave questions about his fitness to discharge the duties of the presidency. Vice President Vance and the Cabinet must act now.

Donald Trump is threatening the destruction of an entire civilization. This dangerously escalates conflict, endangers innocent civilians, and makes the world less safe. America needs serious leadership focused on preventing catastrophe, not threatening to lead us into one.

Pentagon prepares for weeks of ground operations in Iran If President Trump approves the plans, such an effort would mark a new phase of the war that could be significantly more dangerous to U.S. troops than the first four weeks.

The Pentagon is reportedly preparing for ground operations in Iran—putting more American troops in harm’s way and pulling us deeper into an unauthorized war.

The Senate passed a bill to fund DHS except for ICE and CBP—something I would support. But Republicans, including Donald Trump, now want to bankroll the whole agency. I can’t support a bill that sends another dollar to ICE or CBP.
