These are our friends and neighbors, and this kind of behavior from the federal government must stop.

The ICE activity we witnessed over the weekend in Elgin was outrageous. Peaceful protesters, elected officials, and children were assaulted with tear gas and pepper spray while exercising their constitutional right to protest.

Let’s be clear — removing minimum staffing standards rewards the nursing home industry and threatens residents’ lives.

We must hold these greedy actors accountable and restore strong staffing standards that put patients first.

Our loved ones deserve access to quality long-term care.
HHS Officially Rescinds Nursing Home Minimum Staffing Rule
Nursing home providers praised the move, while one patient group called it 'very disappointing'

@congressmanraja.bsky.social’s fight for LGBTQI+ youth didn’t start there. In April, he re-introduced the “STOP Bullying Act” to incentivize the creation of statewide anti-bullying task forces to address & reduce bullying in schools, including anti-LGBTQI+ bullying.

This summer, @congressmanraja.bsky.social led the introduction of the bipartisan "988 LGBTQ+ Youth Access Act of 2025" to restore 988's specialized services for LGBTQ+ youth in crisis after Trump ended the bipartisan mental health services earlier this year.

On December 7, 1941, soldiers, sailors, and civilians were attacked on U.S. soil.

Today, we honor their memory and remember the heroes who served that day and the many days after.

On this day in 1865, the majority of states ratified the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery in America.

We must never forget the horrors of slavery and must continue to recommit ourselves to the pursuit of liberty and justice for all.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill isn’t just stealing your health care – it’s going to cut $5.8 BILLION from Illinois’ economy and put 49,000 jobs at risk.

Instead of cutting health care and shrinking our economy, we need to invest in America's growth.
Trump cuts could shrink Illinois economy by $10B, report says
Researchers at an organized labor-tied think tank also painted a sobering picture for state lawmakers who are tasked with mitigating the effects of the funding cuts.

160 years ago today, the 13th Amendment was ratified to end slavery, with one major exception: punishment for a crime.

The legacy of slavery lives on as people behind bars are still coerced into working for mere pennies or nothing at all.

It's long overdue to abolish slavery in all its forms.

The Trump Administration finds new ways to pull the rug out from under Americans every day.

And now they're putting babies in danger.

Illinois just enacted a law to provide our own science-based recommendations to protect access to vaccines so families get the care they need.
US vaccine advisers say not all babies need a hepatitis B shot at birth
A federal vaccine advisory committee has voted to end a longstanding recommendation that all U.S. babies get the hepatitis B vaccine on the day they’re born.
