Honored to support this cause and do everything I can do! 💜

This is the top priority of the House GOP. They think the American people will think they are solving real problems when the truth of the matter is they’re actually just making them up.

Stopped at a traffic light in DC next to Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church where I saw a sign for free showers for the city’s homeless. This is what it means to be Christian…giving dignity while lifting people up.

The previous President says he wants states to decide when women can have the right to do what they want with their bodies and their healthcare.

Now in AZ, women (who can afford to travel) will soon have to go hundreds of miles to see a doctor when they need to make the…

Thank you Library of Congress & WETA for a phenomenal night honoring Elton John and Bernie Taupin. #GershwinPrize PBS #GershwinPrize WQPT PBS

Quick! Get out your colander and hold it above a white piece of paper. #eclipse

Happy #Eclipse Day! Here’s my throwback to 2017 when I traveled to the amazing state of Wyoming to see the last total eclipse.

On top of Round Top Mountain, we were able to see the Grand Tetons turn dark black, some 90 miles away! Cows started mooing, the city lights of…

If only we could be as psyched about saving our democracy on November 5th as we are for the #eclipse .

Thank you to the Quad City Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for a great evening celebrating our locally-owned businesses.

It was great meeting so many neighbors and to pledge continued support for our Hispanic community in Congress! #IL17

Reminds me that our vets carry a lot on their shoulders as they walk through life. I believe they…

Ahhh, April 1st. The only day of the year that people critically evaluate things they find on the internet before accepting them as true.

Happy Easter! And remember, the big guy upstairs adds up all your caring and loving actions through a lifetime, not how many “deviled eggs” you eat this afternoon. *wink wink*

Are you better off than you were four years ago?

Four years ago today:

Me too, Petey. Me too. #selfcare #recharge

My thoughts are with all law enforcement after the death of DeKalb County Sheriff’s Deputy Christina Musal. Her squad car was off the shoulder of Highway 23 south of DeKalb, Illinois when it was rear ended by a tire service truck last night.

Scott’s Law requires that traffic…

An act of incredible violence occurred in my hometown of Rockford, Illinois today.

Everyone, regardless of their zip code, deserves to feel safe in the community they live in. I remain committed working with local officials to fight for the resources our police officers need to…
