I'm officially calling for the Cabinet to remove Trump from office under the 25th Amendment. If they can't, Congress must return from recess today and begin impeachment proceedings.
Read my full statement below.

November 11 is Veterans Day. At a time when so many of our veterans and military families are struggling, I pledge to continue to ensure you get the care, benefits, and opportunities you have earned.
Please join me in honoring and thanking everyone who has served today!🇺🇸
Tonight, I voted to impeach Pete Hegseth. While that vote failed, impeachment will happen. It might happen tomorrow, it might happen in January—but we will remove him as Secretary of Defense and we will get justice for our veterans, servicemembers, and military families.
Pete Hegseth is “proud” of the way he’s conducted the Iran war and “would do it again tomorrow.”
He’s been a total failure and needs to be removed as Defense Secretary.
21 U.S. servicemembers have now died because of Trump’s Iran War. Please join me in sending condolences to their loved ones and fellow servicemembers who are mourning their loss.
Now that Congress is back in session, we need another War Powers Resolution to end this war for good. I have been proud to vote to end the war six times in the House—and I’m going to keep voting to bring our troops home.
November is American Diabetes Month!
This November, please join me in raising awareness and recognizing every American impacted by diabetes. I’m going to keep advocating for better diabetes treatments and making healthcare affordable for all.
November 8 is Intersex Day of Solidarity. Intersex Americans (people who have variations in their chromosomes, hormones, or anatomy) continue to face discrimination and incompetent healthcare.
On this day of solidarity, I’m recommitting to everyone’s right to access essential healthcare — without politicians' interference.
I spent time on Election Day volunteering with @RCSChicago Community Services, at their Food Pantry and Community Kitchen at @allsaintschgo Church.
With the costs of gas and groceries still through the roof, our neighbors are relying on the work of food pantries and community resources more than ever. It was a pleasure to spend time giving back and helping support our community.
During Diwali, Hindu, Sikh, and Jain Chicagoans celebrate the Festival of Lights. I’m sending joy and new beginnings to them and their loved ones.
Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating!
I had a great time meeting with @YMCA’s ‘Students in Government’ at my district office this week!
These middle- and high-schoolers are civically engaged and committed to making a difference. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your ideas!
On Election Day, I joined a political science class at City Colleges' @TrumanCollege. As a part-time professor at @UChicago, I know how important it is to keep our college students educated and inspired.
I can’t think of anything more patriotic on Election Day than spending time with the next generation of changemakers🇺🇸
November is National #Veterans and Military Families Month🇺🇸❤️
Please join me in thanking the many veterans, military servicemembers, and families of those who have served for their resilience and sacrifice. Congress NEEDS to better support veterans during every step of their journey.
Thank you to State @SenMikeSimmons for bringing together elected officials and service organizations for a recent resource fair. I appreciated the opportunity to present how my office can help you!
Seeing my legislation, the ACT for #ALS, become law was one of my proudest moments as your Congressman, and I was equally proud to see the reauthorization pass the House and Senate just a few weeks ago.
That's why I participated in the @LesTurnerALS Foundation's ALS Walk for Life. We honored those living with ALS, their families and caregivers, and the researchers who are fighting to end ALS. I'm honored to be part of that fight.
Happy Native American Heritage Month! Do you know the word Illinois comes from the native Illinois language, spoken by the Illinois Confederation?
I’m proud to recognize the many indigenous people who have lived in our district for generations—including the Peoria Tribe, the Miami Nation, the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, Kickapoo Tribe, and the Alexis Dakota Sioux Nation Tribe—and I promise to keep fighting for Tribal sovereignty and self-determination.
It's Election Day in Illinois!🇺🇸
Polls are open until 7 pm so make sure your voice is heard. For more information on your rights as a voter, visit https://t.co/9rTVQkz5Sj.
I enjoyed meeting with constituents in Streeterville recently!
During these turbulent times, it’s important to come together and remember to support our community.
Before Election Day on Tuesday, I want to be crystal clear that our elections are safe and secure.
Poll workers and local officials across the country are checking in voters, answering questions, securing ballots, and following the rules to make sure the races are safe and accurate.
Voting by mail, voting during early voting period, and going in person on Election Day are all safe and secure ways to cast your ballot🇺🇸
