Last year, Illinois electric rates jumped 15% or $200 for the average household. The culprit? Data centers and President Trump’s clean energy grant cuts. Read my column below to find out why.

The Trump administration not appealing the decision throwing out its “stop work” order is a good sign for permitting reform progress, as wild swings in oil prices remind us that inexpensive, homemade electrons that do not depend on foreign cartel pricing are a national security win.

Trump’s talk about gas prices lowering soon is proving to be just that—talk. Back in reality, working families are struggling with unaffordable costs because of his war of choice. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/bre...

Trump chose this war and now he wants help. Why would NATO help protect the Strait of Hormuz after Trump did not consult with NATO before he launched this illegal war in Iran? Trump was recently threatening to attack Greenland, part of NATO. Mr. “I don’t need allies” now wants them.

You do not go to war by having a press conference. It's on the President to show Congress and the American people that there is a real justification and endgame. Trump's done none of that. This war should end TODAY.

For America to be strong, the middle class needs to be strong. So why are Republicans and Trump slashing health care funding and pushing up prices on everything from gas to groceries – all while directing trillions of dollars in tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans?

Committing perjury and knowingly making false statements to Congress is a crime. Kristi Noem made several demonstrably false statements during her disastrous appearances earlier this month. We just made a criminal referral to the Justice Department.

Tommy Tuberville will say he’s defending “freedom of religion.” And then call millions of Americans “enemies”… because of their religion. He’s only interested in defending religious freedom when it benefits him.

From mass firings at the IRS to the cancelling of the Direct File program, the President is making it harder for the American taxpayer this season. I’m proud to have joined a bill that would save the Direct File program, which millions relied on to save time and money on their taxes.

The reality of President Trump’s war with Iran is higher gas prices here at home. The American people did not ask for this war, and they need to hear clear answers from the President on how these operations will bring lasting peace and security.

Is Epstein’s in-house accountant covering something up for Trump? These depositions are under oath. The Trump accuser’s lawyer disclosed to @postandcourier.bsky.social that she did indeed receive a settlement from Epstein’s estate, of which Mr. Kahn is both executor and beneficiary.

Nazeer fought alongside our soldiers and came to the US with the promise we'd protect him, only to be detained by ICE and dead 24 hours later. There needs to be an independent investigation into his arrest and his death and accountability for any mistreatment.
