From a constituent in Chicago, ILImmediate resignations of Hegserh and Walz.
Please take action and demand the immediate resignations of National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Their use of Signal to plot defense measures is far beyond a 'mishap'. As far as I can tell, top members of the administration: a) illegally distributed sensitive gove
From a constituent in Chicago, ILI understand that the acting head of the Social Security Administration is threatening to shut down the whole agency because Elon Musk disagrees with yesterday’s court ruling. What the hell is happening? Get Musk and his goons out of Social Security! 73 million of us rely on those earned benefits. W
From a verified voter in Chicago, ILUphold court order, halt unlawful deportations, protect civil liberties.
The Trump administration's flagrant disregard for judicial orders and the rule of law represents a severe threat to American democracy and civil liberties. By defying a clear court ruling prohibiting the deportation of Venezuelans, the administration undermines the vital system of checks and balance
From a constituent in Chicago, ILSeparation of Powers
The President of the United States is not above the law. Trump’s refusal to act according to legal rulings is concerning at a minimum, terrifying when taken to its extreme. While the powers of the Executive branch were clearly laid out in the Constitution, it is essential that he be reminded that no
From a constituent in Winfield, ILReject unilateral executive overreach, uphold democratic norms and accountability.
The continuing resolution passed by Congress represents a concerning erosion of democratic norms and the separation of powers that underpins our system of government. While shutdown threats have been a regrettable political tactic in the past, the current administration's overreach and disregard for
From a verified voter in Chicago, ILDisappointment in Durbin's Support for Trump's Spending Bill
I am disappointed that Senator Dick Durbin voted in favor of the spending bill, effectively supporting President Trump's ability to make spending cuts and rig the government against the interests of the working class. While Durbin acknowledges there is little to like about this resolution, his vote
From a constituent in Chicago, ILFirst Amendment Rights
Now is the time to speak out against the treatment of Mahmoud Khalil. His being detained with the possibility of having his legal status revoked as punishment for protesting is a direct threat to all of our first amendment rights. Further, the “measured” response I have seen from Sen. Schumer has
From a constituent in River Grove, ILNote no on appropriations bill!
The Republican spending proposal cuts $13 billion from vital public services like housing, nutrition, and healthcare programs that support our communities. It enables the administration's harmful firing blitz across federal agencies, undermining the government's ability to serve the people. This par
From a constituent in Chicago, ILThere’s new evidence that Musk and his team of college students are accessing Americans’ most private data at the Social Security Administration in ways that are both dangerous and wildly inappropriate. It’s the largest data leak in American history and all of us are exposed. Even worse, people who’
From a constituent in Winfield, ILStop the ignorant purge of our military history
The attempt to remove diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) content from military materials is severely misguided. This purge approach unjustly targets and disrespects the invaluable contributions of women, minorities, and underrepresented groups to our nation's armed forces. Historical records doc
From a constituent in Winfield, ILThe status of schools and churches relative to immigration enforcement
Immigrant children are here through no fault of their own and have a moral and legal right to an education without fear or discrimination. Allowing immigration enforcement in sensitive locations like schools and places of worship unjustly terrorizes these vulnerable children and creates an atmospher
From a constituent in Winfield, ILSupport Ukraine's defense against Russian invasion, promote democracy
Steadfast American support for Ukraine's defense remains essential, especially as our allies provide substantial financial and military contributions. Russia initiated this unjustified invasion in an attempt to trample democracy and Ukraine's sovereignty. Failing to reinforce Ukraine with robust mil
From a constituent in Chicago, ILI’m disgusted that ten Democrats voted with Republicans to censure Rep. Green yesterday morning. What the heck is the matter with our party? Can we not even find unity when one of our own is being attacked by lawless traitors? I call on House Democrats to find a spine, get way more aggressive in opp
From a verified voter in Chicago, ILDo Not Repeal Section 230
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act serves a vital role in protecting free speech and innovation on the internet. It insulates online platforms from liability for user-generated content, enabling them to host a wide range of speech and perspectives without the risk of costly legal battles.
From a constituent in Chicago, ILPlease pass long-term stable funding for health centers
All federal funding for Community Health Centers expires this month! I am writing to urge you to pass a spending bill for Fiscal Year 2025 as soon as possible to ensure that health centers in Illinois receive continued funding to care for patients. Please pass long-term stable funding for health c
From a constituent in Chicago, ILReject discriminatory SAVE Act that disenfranchises lawful voters
The SAVE Act is a harmful legislative proposal that would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters across the country, including women. This bill seeks to impose strict voter ID requirements, purge voter rolls more aggressively, and restrict mail-in voting - all measures that disproportionately di
From a constituent in Chicago, ILI am deeply alarmed about DOGE’s attacks on the Social Security Administration. The former Commissioner is saying we’re going to see the system collapse and an interruption of benefits within the next 30 to 90 days. This is an emergency! Musk and Trump want to privatize Social Security so they’re ho
