The contributions of the labor movement to this country are immeasurable. This Labor Day, I'm proud to recognize the workers whose skill, dedication, and contributions keep our communities and economy moving.

Hard-working Americans should get to relax and enjoy Labor Day Weekend, but soaring gas and diesel prices from Trump's war in Iran are causing added stress for families.

Gas is over $4 a gallon, nearly a dollar higher than last year. Diesel is close to $6 a gallon, $2 up from last year.

Those planning to take one last summer road trip over the Labor Day weekend can expect to pay more than $4 a gallon in gas, nearly a dollar higher than last year

NEW: Republicans' 'One Big Beautiful Bill' could cost Illinois hospitals as much as $4 billion over the coming years.

Hospitals across the state—especially ones that serve low-income areas—may be forced to cut staff, reduce services, or close altogether.

Illinois hospitals could lose billions in Medicaid funding under new federal limits, putting vulnerable facilities at risk.

I fought for years to advance the Brandon Road project and secured an amendment raising the federal cost share to 90% in order to keep invasive carp out of the Great Lakes.

Trump’s stop work order put our waterways and the Great Lakes ecosystem at risk. Thanks to pushback from my colleagues and me, along with leaders across the region, the project will now resume.

Congress has an oversight responsibility, and I am committed to finding out why the Trump Administration abruptly halted this project in the first place.

The order had halted construction on a state-federal project in Joliet, Illinois, meant to block invasive carp from reaching the Great Lakes.

President Trump has a dangerous pattern of not enforcing laws passed by Congress—which is required of him by law.

This discredits the United States on a global level, endangering the dominance of the U.S. dollar and the economic advantage it gives us.

Republicans don't want to work.
