It is imperative that we call out these acts when they occur and do our part to stamp out bigotry in all its forms. As we reflect, we must also recommit to a path forward that leads to peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

Three years ago today, Israel endured the worst attack on Jewish lives since the Holocaust. In the aftermath of the 2023 attack, we've seen a rise in antisemitism around the globe, including horrifying, violent assaults on Jewish individuals.

I’m proud to join Rep. Harder’s bipartisan Build America Caucus because Americans want Congress to focus on the issues that matter. 

At a time of deep political division, this group of Democrats and Republicans is working together to lower costs and solve the housing crisis.

October is also Polish American Heritage Month!🇵🇱🇺🇸 Over the years, I’ve had the honor of joining our Polish community in Chicago at ‘Taste of Polonia’ and other events. From generation to generation, Polish Chicagoans continue to help write the American story.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 1 in 8 American women get breast cancer throughout their lifetimes. Early detection can save lives. Take a look at this article from UChicago to learn the signs.

Should You Do a Breast Self-Exam?
Breast self-exams are no longer considered to be an effective way to catch breast cancer early. But it’s always helpful to look for changes in your body.

Trump’s DOJ is trying to reopen the Watergate case. They know that the less crooked Nixon looks, the easier it is to justify Trump’s corruption. But even the Daily Beast knows the truth.

During Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I am thinking of all survivors and the barriers that prevent them from seeking help or reporting their abusers. As a member of Congress, I am dedicated to passing legislation that helps keep survivors safe and fighting for funding for lifesaving services.

Trump violated U.S. law when he used taxpayer money for his new campaign ad. If Democrats take back Congress in November, we’ll be able to hold him accountable and force him to pay that money back.

The White House stole official government funds to create and televise a campaign advertisement, right before the midterm election. If Democrats take control of the House next year, the Appropriations Committee and I are ready to undo this waste, fraud, and abuse, and hold people accountable.

I’m joining @pocan.house.gov in fighting for the release of Palestinian healthcare workers in Gaza. Since the start of the war, Israel has arrested hundreds of essential healthcare workers, leaving civilians with no one to turn to.

Asylum is already only granted to a select few who meet specific qualifications. But the Trump administration’s DHS has replaced qualified, experienced immigration judges with ideological hires to carry out their mass deportation operation. They’ve turned Chicago hearings into a kangaroo court.

It is nearly impossible to get asylum in Chicago. That’s not hyperbolic—it’s the reality the @chicago.suntimes.com found when they investigated.

Asylum was historically hard to obtain but since Trump returned to office, a shake-up at immigration courts in Chicago and across the country has put judges under pressure to deny asylum petitions.
