Serving #IL16 as a Member of Congress & as a pilot in the Air National Guard. Proud to stand up for democracy & truth. #CountryFirst
It’s scary to think how close we came to losing it all, but I promise you, our democracy is worth saving. Tune in to the #LSSC tonight as @StephenAtHome & I discuss the impact of our #Jan6thHearings now and for future generations.
What we’ve uncovered @January6thCmte should concern every American. The truth is not political & the facts are damning. I’d urge my fellow Republicans still in denial to ask themselves how they’d react if a Democrat in the WH did this. It cannot go unchecked.
The pure evil on display in Highland Park has rocked our state, and the nation. As we grieve for the victims and those injured, we remain especially grateful to the LEOs who apprehended the shooter & to the first responders for swiftly reacting & saving countless lives.
Threats of violence over politics has increased heavily in the last few years. But the darkness has reached new lows. My new interns made this compilation of recent calls they’ve received while serving in my DC office. WARNING: this video contains foul & graphic language.
Shinzo Abe was a great friend to the U.S. and a leader who understood the need to strengthen relationships with our Allies in the face of global challenges. Sofia and I send our condolences to his wife Akie, their family, and the people of Japan.
We the people must demand more of our politicians and ourselves. Oaths matter. Character matters. Truth matters. If we do not renew our faith and commitment to these principles, this great experiment of ours, our shining beacon on a hill, will not endure.

It’s with a heavy heart I am calling for the sake of our Democracy that the 25th Amendment be invoked. My statement:
The prosecution is compelling. Donald Trump incited and directed the insurrection. He knew what he was doing. I cannot imagine how any Senator could vote against removal.
Today, I was asked to serve on the bipartisan January 6th Select Committee and I humbly accepted. When duty calls, I will always answer.
Wow. We bombed our own base on purpose, because of the impulsive decision by @realDonaldTrump didn’t leave time to evacuate the right way. Is this the America you grew up believing in?
We have to hold Members accountable who incite or glorify violence, who spread and perpetuate dangerous conspiracies. The failure to do so will take us one step closer to this fantasized violence becoming real. To be clear, I’ll be voting yes on the Gosar censure resolution.
