Safe, affordable, and accessible rail travel is critical to the success of Chicago and the Illinois region.

In communities across the country, including Chicagoland, urban flooding has a unique ability to wreak havoc in our communities, leaving Americans feeling helpless in the aftermath.

I’m proud to reintroduce bipartisan legislation to give cities and towns the resources and tools they’ll need to proactively address flooding challenges.

We want peace. Ukraine desperately wants peace but not as a result of what would be in effect a Putin-Russia victory. We want peace and not appeasement that would reward a brutal Russian invasion with land gains that officially recognize…

President Trump's first Defense Secretary, Jim Mattis, once said: If we don't fully fund the State Department and diplomacy abroad, I need to buy more ammunition. Apparently, Elon Musk, a newly minted oligarch with $20 billion in…

Officer Brian Sicknick, Officer Howard Liebengood, Officer Jeffrey Smith, Officer Kyle DeFreytag, and Officer Gunther Hashida. These are the names of the U.S. Capitol Police and D.C. Metropolitan Police who died in the wake of the January…

Last week the House and Senate oversaw the certification of the 2024 election. It was a quick, smooth process. There were no riots, no violence. We completed the peaceful transfer of power as the Founding Fathers envisioned it. Now compare…

This bill is a cynical scapegoating of a vulnerable population. To make matters worse, it is a hateful attack on kids. Trans kids deserve to play sports just like their peers, and Congress can't bar them from the field. All young people…

On October 7, 2023, the people of Israel experienced the greatest terror attack in their nation's history. There were 1,200 people killed and 250 more were abducted in what was the most severe attack on the Jewish people since the…

Today, as in every day, we open the House with the Pledge of Allegiance and the words ``with liberty and justice for all.'' However, some of our Nation's greatest ills have come from moments when we have chosen to make exceptions to…

Now what? Yesterday, this body was prepared to pass a bipartisan spending bill to carry us into the new year and the new Congress. It was imperfect, yet it met many of our country's critical needs, especially disaster relief. Then, the…

It is not surprising, but I disagree with my colleagues on the other side of the aisle on a myriad of issues, but that is okay. At times, disagreement is important. Only speaking with those who agree with us insulates us from ideas that…

The next opening days of a Trump presidency are going to be a continuation of the last days of the last Trump presidency.

I'm worried about not just who controls the White House, but who controls the House and the Senate.

The only thing that you can do now to cement that for all time and prevent utter catastrophe is to step down and let someone else do this.

We have to be honest with ourselves that it wasn't just a horrible night.

I cannot in good faith support this legislation without the inclusion of funding for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. For this reason, at the appropriate time, I will offer a motion to recommit this bill back to committee. If…

I would suggest the 400,000 are all in my district.

Members know their district a hell of a lot better than we do.

I think it is incumbent upon us to recognize that, and I hope you stay in touch with us on that matter.

I appreciate that you brought up resilience in your construction and how important that is going to be.

We have to be honest with ourself and recognize that we can't just build the same old infrastructure back.

Doing so after the fiscal year begins makes no sense. We need to show the world that we can govern.

I believe the Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner, Secretary Buttigieg and Secretary Todman have what it takes to effectively run these agencies.
