Our military boots should be made in Belleville - not Beijing. Check out my campaign’s flagship TV ad about my fight for a future that’s not just Made in America, but Made right here in Central and Southern Illinois.


President Trump's threats to Illinois and our leaders are unacceptable. Here are my thoughts 👇


You don’t fight crime by turning your back on local police. President Trump cut critical law enforcement grants — and now wants to replace community safety with the National Guard. This isn’t about safety. It’s about power — and we have to speak out against it.


First, the President illegally deploys the National Guard against the wishes of Illinoisans — and then threatens to jail our Governor and Mayor Johnson. This is un-American, and I will not remain silent.

President Trump claims he defeated inflation. The facts say it’s only getting worse. We need economic policies that will LOWER costs for working people. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…


The biggest victim of Trump's tariff war? Soybean farmers here at home.

Illinois soybean farmer: We'll lose about $2 a bushel this year. We can't sustain that kind of loss for very long of a time period without going under.



This is what happens when Republicans shut down the government and expect folks to show up without getting paid. They need to end this shutdown.

CNN: The air traffic control facility responsible for flights approaching and departing Nashville international airport, are set to close for five hours tonight because of short staffing. The federal aviation administration says flights will still be allowed to continue flying…



The Texas National Guard has no place in Illinois. This is theater and fear mongering, and cannot be tolerated. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/07/nat…


The WSOY Food Drive is one of the largest single-day food drives in the nation, collecting over 30 million pounds of food in 20+ years! I was glad to stop by & discuss how we can ensure everyone in our community has access to food and help them reach their fundraising goal.

Grateful to the wonderful parishioners of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church for inviting me to join your Sunday service. I was humbled to share a few reflections on where we are as a nation—and how much stronger we are when we stand together.

This is your reminder that Republicans control the House, Senate, and the White House. They OWN this shutdown. It's time for Democrats to own restoring the ACA tax credits and reversing Medicaid Cuts.


Update — they did it.

Republicans control the House, Senate, and the Presidency. They want to shut the government down - and they’re about to do it.



It’s official — President Trump and Congressional Republicans have SHUT DOWN the government rather than lowering healthcare costs for millions of Americans. Shameful. #RepublicanShutdown #Healthcare #ACA #medicaidmatters


Secretary Rollins — I share your concern. Thanks to President Trump’s reckless trade war, China has the upper hand while America’s soybean farmers are getting crushed.

This photo shows the Treasury Secretary reading a text from the Agriculture Secretary. She's worried China has outmaneuvered the US by buying up Argentine soybeans at the expense of our farmers, even as the Administration plans to bail out Argentina with billions of dollars.

Costs keep rising under President Trump. The only thing coming down? Taxes for billionaires — not relief for working families.


Mass firings are not how we serve the American people. This is reckless and Republicans need to come to the table on a deal that averts a shutdown and DELIVERS for working people. cnn.com/2025/09/26/pol…


No family should have to worry about sewage backing up into their homes — it’s unsafe and unacceptable. Earlier this month, I convened community leaders & federal partners to discuss our plans to deliver the relief Metro East families need and deserve. riverbender.com/news/details/b…


Meanwhile, he got us into this mess. Our farming communities shouldn’t suffer at the hands of this administration.

Trump: We’re going to take some of the tariff money and give it to our farmers who are going to be hurt for a little while until the tariffs kick in



Tariffs don’t punish billionaires — they punish working families. We should be lowering costs, not making life more expensive. nytimes.com/2025/09/25/bus…
