A repugnant and hateful act perpetrated against Jews on the holy day of Yom Kippur. I am horrified.

I have kept a personal vigil for the return of the 251 hostages taken on October 7, 2023, keeping photos of each hostage on the wall outside my office. This week, the last 20 living, and 7 of the 28 deceased hostages remaining in Gaza were reunited with their loved ones. This is a moment worth celebration, but also a time to redouble our commitment towards peace for Israelis and Palestinians, and the entire Middle East.

I hope you'll watch this clip and listen to Michelle's story. This is exactly why Democrats are fighting for lower health care costs.

4 Members of Illinois Politician Darren Bailey’s Family Are Killed in Helicopter Crash
Darren Bailey, a Republican candidate for governor, lost his son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren, ages 12 and 7, in a helicopter accident in Montana, his campaign said.
ICE and CBP were fully funded last summer thanks to President Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. Congress could agree to pay TSA agents (and everyone else at DHS) TODAY if Republican lawmakers would simply allow a vote on legislation to fund all DHS agencies except for ICE and CBP. I, along with every Democrat and many Republicans, would vote for that immediately.
Unfortunately President Trump and Speaker Johnson are holding TSA paychecks hostage and bringing more chaos to airports with a surge of ICE agents.

As we prepare to celebrate 250 years of American independence with good food and better company, Americans are getting sticker shock. Trump's tariffs and war in Iran have made your Fourth of July favorites more expensive this year. Democrats have a plan to lower costs and deliver the relief Americans need.
Continuing his pattern of corruption, President Trump quietly awarded A no-bid contract for the construction of his gilded ballroom just as he did for his Reflecting Pool debacle. The American people are justifiable exhausted by this Administration's costly and corrupt schemes. washingtonpost.com/investigations…
