The attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney is heartbreaking and deeply disturbing. As Jewish families gathered to mark a sacred holiday, they were met with violence and hate. We must confront antisemitism wherever it appears. My full statement: krishnamoorthi.house.gov/media/press-...

Loretto Hospital in Austin and Franklin Hospital in Benton warned me directly that Republican Medicaid cuts could force program closures, staffing reductions, or worse.
I’m fighting to stop the “Large Lousy Law” and to keep these hospitals, and the communities they serve, alive.

An ICE operation in Elgin ended in a crash and the use of chemical irritants that sent residents for medical treatment. That’s unacceptable. I’m demanding answers from ICE and DHS about how this happened — and what accountability will follow. krishnamoorthi.house.gov/media/press-...

Ghislaine Maxwell is petitioning for leniency. Let me be clear: No way. No how.
She enabled and perpetuated unimaginable abuse.
There must be zero clemency, zero pardons, and zero leniency for someone who helped destroy so many lives.

Bernie Bluestein and the legendary Ghost Army helped liberate Europe from fascism and tyranny.
Renaming the Palatine Post Office in his honor will ensure our community never forgets his service.
I urge the full House to bring this bill forward without delay.

Tomorrow, I will vote to release the Epstein files. Survivors deserve justice, and the public deserves the truth. These records—potentially including financial documents revealing Epstein’s associates—are key to getting to the bottom of what happened and preventing future abuse.

Donald Trump’s promises aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. The affordability of American health care can’t depend on him keeping his word — and I won’t support any deal built on delay, deception, and empty promises. My full statement:

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

I demanded access to the Broadview ICE facility to conduct oversight — as is my right as a Member of Congress.
I was denied.
No accountability. No transparency. THIS is the Trump Administration.

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem won’t let the American people see what is going on beyond this barricade at the Broadview ICE facility — even as ICE terrorizes our Illinois communities.
It’s absurd and it’s un-American. We demand transparency and accountability NOW.

Donald Trump’s threats to jail Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson are what autocrats do — not American presidents.
In America, we uphold the rule of law. We don’t imprison our political opponents — we defend democracy. And I’ll keep fighting to make sure we always do.

Secretary Noem is abusing her power, spreading baseless conspiracy theories to justify militarizing our streets.
She must answer for it under oath. That’s why I introduced legislation to stop any president from federalizing the National Guard without a governor’s consent.

President Trump is refusing to negotiate to keep the government open and extend health care tax credits. If he won't come to the table, 30,000 in my district face skyrocketing premiums & 27,000 will lose coverage—a 60-year-old couple could pay $13,000 more. I'm fighting for a deal to save coverage.

President Trump’s dismissal of violence faced by women is outrageous and insulting.
But given his past friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, this attitude comes as no surprise.

The ICE raids in Elgin and Des Plaines are shameful and reckless.
U.S. citizens were cuffed, detained, and tased.
Families, small businesses, and our economy are paying the price for Trump’s political gimmicks.

I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former Illinois Governor Jim Edgar. His legacy of service, bipartisanship & community will not be forgotten. Priya and I send our deepest condolences to his family.

President Trump slashed renewable energy programs—leaving Illinois families with higher bills this summer. I’ll keep fighting for clean energy that lowers costs and strengthens our economy.

The lives lost on September 11, 2001, in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Stoystown, PA, will never be forgotten. And we will always be grateful for the courage shown by the first responders who risked and sacrificed their own lives to save others.

I’m horrified by the news that Charlie Kirk has been shot. My prayers are with him, his family, and all affected. Political violence is unacceptable in every form. If violence replaces dialogue, none of us are safe.

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse deserve full transparency. We still don’t have most of the financial records, including over $1B in wire transfers, that could reveal the truth.
The Justice Dept. must release the Epstein files now, and I won't stop fighting to get them.

This is disturbing, disgusting, and extremely troubling.
Trump didn’t just leave a salacious note in Epstein’s Birthday Book - he added a lewd drawing, then lied about it for years.
If he lied about this, what else is he hiding?
The full Epstein files must be released now.

Trump’s illegal attempt to deploy the National Guard to our cities was dangerous and wrong. I’m relieved the courts stopped him.
But remember: these stunts are meant to distract from his mounting failures and the Epstein files.

President Trump’s reported plan to stage mass immigration raids from Naval Station Great Lakes is reckless and unacceptable. He may be willing to trample on the Constitution, but the people of Chicago never will — and neither will I. My full statement: krishnamoorthi.house.gov/media/press-...
