The Trump administration just declared that erecting a ballroom is the President’s main priority.

Meanwhile.

The cost of living is way too high and the Republican healthcare crisis threatens millions of Americans.

Today I’m joining @jayapal.house.gov, @chuygarcia.house.gov, @ramirez.house.gov and Rep. Danny Davis to listen to people impacted by Trump’s assault on Chicago.

We’re demanding accountability for immigrant families torn apart and lives upended by his unlawful actions.

This is a national disgrace, done without any public input or the consent of the U.S. Congress. The work of a dictator unaccountable to anyone. Let's wake up Republicans in the Congress, or Trump will render the Congress useless.

Democrats are good for the economy!

Illinois 2nd Congressional Dems @seconddems.bsky.social · 15d

If Congress lets enhanced premium tax credits expire, 4 million Americans will lose health coverage — including 1.1 million Black Americans. Healthcare isn’t a luxury. It’s a right.

Congress must act now to keep coverage affordable and protect every family’s care.

Republicans are lying that the ACA covers undocumented individuals.

It does not.

The ACA law states an “individual must be a citizen or national of the United States or an alien lawfully present in the United States” to purchase a plan. Democrats have not proposed any changes to that provision.

Budget director Russ Vought, the Project 2025 mastermind that Trump disavowed during the campaign, is behind this victimizing of a section of Chicago far too long ignored in Chicago and is a vital part of the 2nd Congressional District.

Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL2) condemned Trump for sabotaging the $1.9 billion Red Line Extension project, falsely claiming the project's "race-based contracting."

The Red Line extension is slated to add four train stops on the city’s South Side, improving access for disadvantaged communities.

Republicans rushed to pass tax cuts for their billionaire buddies so where’s the urgency to help middle-class families, farmers, small business owners, and veterans?

Priorities matter and so do the consequences.

If Republicans don’t act now to extend enhanced premium tax credits, hundreds of thousands could lose health coverage and millions more will see premiums spike by as much as 114%. #TrumpShutdown #ShutdownDon

J.D. Vance for example.

White House Press secretary Karoline Leavitt for another.

And don't get us started on Trump!

Our very own, Pope Leo XIV, who grew up in the 2nd congressional district town of Dolton, Illinois, took the Trump administration to task suggesting on Tuesday that people who support the “inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States” may not be “pro life.”

White House pushes back on Pope Leo’s statement that immigrants are subject to 'inhuman treatment' in the U.S.

It’s not the first time the bishop of Rome has criticized the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

Do you remember… the 21st night of September? 🎶✨ I spent the afternoon with the Livingston County Democrats at the Harvest Days Parade in Dwight! Rural communities keep Illinois strong—and I’ll always fight to help them thrive.

L’Shanah Tovah to everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah. May this new year bring you good health and prosperity.

Proud of our member of Congress standing up to the Trump administration!

Yesterday, I visited the ICE detention center in Broadview. The boarded-up windows and doors raise troubling questions about what’s happening inside. I’m grateful to the neighbors on the ground demanding accountability and standing up for human rights.

This is not only disgusting, but inhumane to suggest if you are "homeless" you should be killed.

"Involuntary lethal injection. Or something. Just kill 'em," said Brian Kilmeade.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."
