Trump's Postmaster General Louis DeJoy plans to gut the USPS, slowing down mail delivery, raising postage prices and reducing post office hours.
That's why I introduced the DEJOY Act to prevent this from happening!

💉Vaccines into more arms
📚Resources to safely reopen schools
💰Relief for small businesses & families
We must act now.
The Chinese Communist Party is “counting on us being fractured and partisan and unable to prepare ourselves for the future." Read more about my work in Congress to counter this threat:
I feel deep pain, sadness, and anger for the families of the deceased and the injured in today's horrific Highland Park shooting. It's difficult to comprehend the pain it will inflict on our region. Until we have sensible, nationwide regulation of firearms, we are not truly safe.
"Let's just say that all of us were very interested in the substance of his claims, and unfortunately, I didn't get the answers that I was hoping for.”
I am proud to endorse Kamala Harris for President. As we figure out the path forward to ensure an equitable nomination process, I look forward to doing my part to ensure she becomes the first female, first Asian-American, and first South Asian President of the United States.
“What I can say is that it's only increased my concerns about CCP’s influence in the Middle East, in the UAE and in other countries of interest to us,”
Earlier, I joined
@MSNBC
to ask a very simple question:
“Is Speaker McCarthy going to listen to his constituents, or, is he going to listen to members of the Freedom Caucus who are saying lets nuke the economy if Democrats don’t gut Social Security?”
Amid a public health crisis, this action is a necessary step towards ensuring more Americans have access to quality, affordable healthcare.
The 90-day enrollment period offers millions of Americans without coverage options to enroll in an affordable plan.

vaccine rollout is improving in every state.
In the U.S. more than 1.5 million doses of the vaccine are being administered a day, on average. Illinois has administered the first dose to at least 11.2% of people.
A cleaner environment and a stronger economy are not competing goals. We need bold action to treat climate change with the urgency that science demands.
This action by
@POTUS
will create good-paying jobs and bring our country into the clean energy future.
I joined

to discuss the congressional investigation I am leading into the matter of false

antibody tests. I am concerned people being fooled into thinking they have antibodies to COVID & potentially immunity, when you actually do not.
“The growing Indian American presence in Washington follows the emergence of Indian American leaders in so many other fields, including medicine, science, technology and business.”
I'm proud of our efforts to help make our Congress accountable to the people:
"A bipartisan companion piece of legislation has been introduced to the House of Representatives led by Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi D-IL and Michael Cloud R-TX."
I had a great time at last night's rally with
@DeliaRamirezIL
and many other progressive leaders! We're sending a message that tells Republicans NO CUTS to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Education, and other vital programs Americans rely on.
I was proud to vote for the Build Back Better bill, which will cap insulin costs at $35 per month. Nobody should face financial hardships over medical conditions they have no control over.
Americans need relief. With so many strapped for cash and no ability to pay rent while also putting food on the table, it’s past time that Congress treat this crisis with the urgency it demands and pass relief for working families & small businesses.
Earlier this week in the

and I spoke up against anti-Asian rhetoric:
"Our communities have seen through our own country’s history what can happen when unchecked rhetoric fans the flames of prejudice."
"I think people understand that she [VP Harris] is not going to do exactly the same thing that President Biden does but build upon the foundation of success that he has achieved."
"A unique, bipartisan group of lawmakers are coalescing around a familiar issue in the House — banning members of Congress and their families from trading stocks."
The same kinds of vile rhetoric and dangerous conspiracy theories that led to an attack on our Capitol have no place in congress — or our nation.
Removing Rep. Greene from committee assignments is a step forward against the rise of violent extremism.
"It’s long been a priority of mine to expand career and technical educational opportunities for students across our state, and I can’t wait to see the new heights to which Harper soars thanks to this funding.”
Proud to strongly support my very good friend Peter Welch to serve as Vermont's next U.S. Senator. Serving alongside him on the Intel Committee, I know he will fight hard for our democracy and for working families in America.
Getting this pandemic under control won’t be easy, but under President Biden’s leadership and a national strategy for vaccine distribution, we will start to regain our ordinary lives.
Please continue to do your part, wear a mask, and social distance.
"I'm ranking member of this new special Select Committee with regard to the Chinese Communist Party and we're trying to practice a different type of politics there: more bipartisan, more thoughtful."

Last night the results showed that I won the primary decisively! I'm very thankful to my family and all the incredible supporters that are along for the ride. Onwards to November!
“The threats we face are not static, and our actions need to be dynamic and coordinated with allies and partners to ensure we are building a lasting security for the American people.”
I am honored to have been re-elected to serve another term as Congressman for Illinois’s 8th Congressional District. Thank you so much to my constituents for choosing to extend my contract for another two years.
Thank you to my family, my staff and all of my supporters!
Congratulations to President
@JoeBiden
and Vice President
@KamalaHarris
on earning the pledged delegates to secure the Democratic nomination!
I look forward to welcoming you to Chicago for the Democratic National Convention this summer and helping to finish the job!
“China is not playing by the rules. They’ve created an environment where they regularly, unfairly have an advantage over their competitors. They steal intellectual property and they manipulate their currency and we have to stand up to them."
We did it! I am honored to have been re-elected to a fourth term in the United States Congress! I'm beyond grateful that the voters of Illinois' 8th District have chosen me to keep fighting for our shared values in Congress. Thank you all for your incredible support!

"We will continue operating in a bipartisan way to send a message that we are committed to deterrence in the Taiwan Strait and that we won’t turn a blind eye as the CCP commits genocide, 'the crime above all crimes,' against the Uyghur people.”
As I said earlier this week, the House Republican plan will cut key funding for science, education, healthcare, and tax credits that people in
#IL08
and across the country rely on. The American people deserve better.
As a member of the bi-partisan fentanyl prevention caucus, I was honored to host a town hall this morning focused on the fentanyl epidemic and how we can work together to help affected communities.
"We're very concerned about military aggression against [the CCP's] neighbors, especially Taiwan, so how do we make sure that we prevent conflict, how do we make sure Taiwan has what it needs to deter conflict?"
Thank you Rep.
@AOC
for your bold leadership- together we’re going to end stock trading by members of Congress to ensure the our constituents always come first.
Happy MLK Day!
Today, I hope we can reflect on Dr. King’s life and take time to decide what positive change we can bring to our own communities. We live in challenging times, and it's never been more important for us to take action to create the positive change that we seek.
"After talking to local elected officials in St. Charles as well as the City Manager and others... we're trying to see if we can get other federal agencies involved."
"You've got to have dialogue, you've got to be talking; when you're talking you're not fighting. Now of course actions speak louder than words, and so we have to see these talks... transform into meaningful action on the part of the CCP."
I voted to impeach President Trump, last night. President Trump abused his power. He threatened our democracy and obstructed Congress. He compromised our election and national security. I swore an oath to protect the constitution and that is what I did last night.
"At the end of the day, our alliances, our partnerships, our friendships, in the region are extremely important with regard to our strategic competition with the Chinese Communist Party"
Watch my full interview with Chuck Todd on MSNBC here:
"One thing that I believe the CCP especially fears is that we, in concert with our allies, friends, and partners around the world, hold them accountable for their offenses. They would much rather have us be played off against each other."
"The Chinese economy is on a significant slide right now... so in light of these particular issues, I think it would be misguided for the CCP to enact any measures [against the US] that could further harm their economy."
(Segment starts at 15:51)
"On the 80th anniversary of the Chinese Exclusion Act’s repeal, I hope all Americans reflect on the dark history of this law, how far we have come as a nation, and how far we still must go as to defeat anti-Asian hate.”

"President Biden has an opportunity to stand firm for human rights, push back against economic coercion and unfair trade practices, and strengthen communication between the military leaders and people of our two countries."
Things are really heating up on the campaign trail as we get ready for petition season. Thanks to everyone who has been helping out and if you haven't had a chance yet, we'll need you in the coming weeks!
A woman's right to choose is a fundamental right that must be protected - if the Supreme Court will not do so, then Congress needs to pass legislation doing so NOW.
“[Taiwan] They are watching the supplemental requests for Ukraine like hawks and they view Ukraine prevailing against the criminal invasion by Russia as incredibly important in sending a message to the Chinese Communist Party.”
"There are four things that America must do to advance our interests and win this competition [with the CCP] through what I describe as the four Ps — people, production, partnerships, and protection."
"It is not enough to merely play defense [against the CCP]... We also have to up our game. We have to invest in our people so that they are ready to deal with the technologies of the future."
"Almost 107,000 Americans are on a waitlist to receive an organ... a lot of these folks aren't getting the organs they need and there are improvements that can be made to the system to change that." Listen to the full podcast with
