Since Trump started this war with Iran, brave servicemembers have already lost their lives. Now the Pentagon wants an additional $200 BILLION to continue fighting a war that has no clear objective and that Americans don't want.

It’s clear there’s no strategy in Iran. Even Tulsi Gabbard admitted we replaced one Khamenei with another—and the new one is even worse. Trump’s war of choice is making us less safe.

I just joined my Democratic colleagues in signing onto a measure to pay our TSA agents, our Coast Guard, and FEMA workers—without new funding for ICE. We can end this shutdown, and federal workers can get their paychecks, as soon as Republicans join us.

Earlier this month, I hosted a STEM Fair with the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA)! It was a joy to host a free, family-friendly event that gave kids the chance to explore science, technology, engineering, and math through interactive activities designed to spark curiosity. Thanks to everyone who came and made it such a great event!

U.S. servicemembers have died and families are grieving — and the Trump Administration is making light of the war by posting video game montages.

This is sick and morally bankrupt. Our servicemembers deserve so much better than this.

Proud to have earned 100% from the League of Conservation Voters on their Congressional scorecard! Standing up for science-based policies and fighting back against Trump's anti-climate, pro-billionaire agenda will always be the focus of my work in Congress.

Had a great discussion with AI in Context about how Congress can be better prepared for a future defined by AI. Check it out!

Trump's war in Iran is causing gas prices across Chicagoland to spike. No one asked for another endless war in the Middle East—and now working families are paying the price. dailyherald.com/20260309/natio…

Last month, I brought together local experts, advocates, and elected officials for a roundtable to identify what is working well in advancing accessibility in our community, what gaps remain, and how policy can better support people with disabilities. If you or a loved one live with a disability, I want to hear from you. Share your insights by filling out this survey and help us build more accessible communities. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Experts with technical knowledge should have been running nuclear talks with Iran—not real estate moguls. This gross incompetence has pushed us into a broader conflict with no end in sight and has put American lives at risk. ms.now/news/trump-ira…

Trump: "We will bring the price of gasoline down…We're going to get your gas prices down…You're going to spend a lot less money for your gasoline."

Oil prices are soaring because of Trump's war in Iran. This administration has no plan and Americans are paying for it.

TODAY: Join me at my STEM Fair with IMSA at 11:00am! This is a free, family-friendly event. Registration is not required, but encouraged. Learn more and register here: bit.ly/FosterSTEM

This dismal jobs report is another warning sign for the economy. Republicans control Congress and the White House. Instead of spurring job growth and lowering costs for working families, they’re focused on enriching their billionaire donors. nbcnews.com/business/econo…
