Holding the White House Accountable
Since President Donald Trump's second inauguration, I have been working hard to oppose his dangerous actions. From cosponsoring legislation to limit Elon Musk's access to sensitive data to speaking out on the House floor, I am determined to use every lever at Democrats' disposal to stand up to Donald Trump. Check this page for regular updates on the actions I've taken and make sure to subscribe to my newsletter for a weekly rundown of my latest work.
On Wednesday, March 5, I held a virtual town hall to share how I'm fighting to hold the White House accountable. You can watch that below or HERE.

Today, Chicago Congressman Mike Quigley (IL-05) released the following statement on Trump’s deployment of ICE agents to O’Hare International Airport, amidst Republican refusals to fund TSA:
“I don’t trust ICE in our airports any more than I did on the streets of Chicago. They do not have the training to perform TSA’s functions, and they are far more likely to cause fear than to reassure travelers of their safety.
