Everyday makes it clearer: Congress can't allow AI to continue operate without guardrails, oversight, or accountability.

The reckless acceleration of AI has shown us that it can be a threat to working families and our democracy.

Trump dragged us into an endless war because he knew he would profit from it. The crooked fascists in the administration don’t care if we’re sick, unhoused, uninsured, or dying if it benefits them, makes them rich, and keeps them in office and out of jail.

Social Security is the only lifeline for many Americans who expected to retire with dignity. As prices are at a record high, this year Social Security benefits will only increase by 3.6%. You and I both know that a 3.6% increase is not enough!

For 13 days, immigrants suffering inhumane conditions in a Texas detention center have been on a hunger strike. At least one hunger striker has confirmed connections to Illinois. I stand with our neighbors putting their bodies on the line to demand DHS honor their basic human rights.

It’s time to end the murders, kidnappings, and surveillance of our communities and reinvest in true community safety. My Reimagining Safety Act does just that.

For years, our communities have been surveilled, threatened, shot, subjected to warrantless arrest, kidnapped, and disappeared—regardless of immigration status.
