  1. There's no denying what occurred on Jan. 6 and no denying the threat is still very real. We need a commission to investigate what happened, provide accountability, and help put this dark event behind us.

  2. I am a proud co-sponsor of ’s LGBTQ . It’s past time we give states the resources they need to collect data and track violence against the LGBTQ community. This bill could save lives.

  4. On the anniversary of DACA, we must commit to delivering a permanent solution to young immigrants and their communities this year. If Republicans aren’t negotiating in good faith, we must include citizenship in the next reconciliation package

  5. This is not the first time we've seen an instance of weaponization of the DOJ by former President Trump and his sycophants. We shouldn't be surprised but we should take the necessary steps to ensure no tyrant follows in his footsteps.

    There is no way in the world something like this DOJ data seizure could take place without the Attorneys General being involved or at least knowing. Trying to convince us otherwise, just further erodes what is left of their integrity.

    Donating blood is an excellent way to give back. All Americans should have the option to donate their blood, regardless of sexual orientation. Any policy that suggests otherwise, is discriminatory on its face. Find your local blood center at:

    This issue is urgent. It's not only about the safety of these big cats, but the safety of our communities. We must pass the Big Cat Public Safety Act.

    Five years ago, 49 beautiful lives were taken from us at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando. Today my heart is with the victims, their families and all members of the LGBTQ+ community. I will keep fighting for you, for your equality, and for your safety.

    From my first days as part of the Russia investigation, I expected that eventually, someone would attempt this – I just wasn’t sure if it would be a hostile government or my own. It’s not remotely surprising to learn that it was the Trump Administration.

    Today – on the 58th anniversary of the Act – every Member of Congress should commit to finally fulfilling its promise of equal pay for equal work…especially the 50 Senate Republicans who just blocked the two days ago.

    If we’re going to withstand a 21st century climate and build a 21st century economy, we need bold climate and clean energy investments in infrastructure. New infrastructure should always prioritize good environmental policy. The time is now to invest in our future.

    The residents of RANCH Triangle are keeping their community a beautiful, vibrant place to live. It was great to meet with them yesterday to learn about what support they need from the federal government and share some information about my work in Congress on behalf of Illinois.

    Last year I helped rescue a group of French Bulldog puppies who were abandoned at O'Hare Airport. I'm proud to share that they have all found safe and loving forever homes. Today, I was honored to meet with one of these pups who happens to share my name. Say hello to Quigley!
