🔴 Millions are losing their health care. 🔴 Costs are rising for EVERYONE. 🔴 Insurers are leaving the marketplace. Shame on Republicans for creating this health care crisis and refusing to extend the ACA tax credits from my legislation. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...

Since Congress Let Obamacare Subsidies Expire, Millions Are Dropping Coverage

Donald Trump is unstable, dangerous, and unable to function as Commander in Chief. His illegal war in Iran needs to end and he must be removed immediately. It’s time to invoke the 25th Amendment.

Staff Sergeant Jose Dueñez Jr. was an extraordinary hero. I’m so honored to lead this legislation to permanently commemorate his sacrifice and service.

Good news! I secured over $11 million in federal funding for our community. Here are just some of the projects this funding will support:

We need your voices in this work.

I secured over $1 million in federal funding to deliver clean drinking water from Lake Michigan to Joliet.

Honored to receive the 2026 YMCA Congressional Champion Award! I’m so proud of how our local YMCAs show up to support families in our community and am looking forward to continuing that important work together.

Constituents are asking me, “What’s going on with funding for ICE?” Let me explain with my favorite treat from the 14th District.

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what it was like viewing the unredacted Epstein Files. This was my experience:

Apparently, there’s enough money to give a blank check to ICE but not enough money to address flooding in our community.

Kristi, good luck at your new job. Because when we retake the majority, we're holding you accountable for the last one you had.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.gov · last yr.

I asked Secretary Noem a simple yes or no question: “Do you believe the Constitution guarantees everyone in our country the right to due process?” She couldn’t give me a straight answer.

Trump and Republicans in Congress worked night and day to deliver a huge tax break to billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. Families in our community are the ones who are paying the price.

I just viewed the Epstein files. A few things are clear: 1. Trump’s name is all over them. 2. The DOJ is breaking the law and denying the victims justice. 3. A single 3-hour viewing was not enough time. I will be back. If you have questions, let me know in the comments.

The SNAP changes from Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill went into effect on February 1. Here’s what they could mean for you and your family:

While everyday Americans struggle to pay their bills, Trump and Republicans in Congress handed billionaires the biggest tax cut in American history.

The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Exciting news! Our bill to honor Staff Sergeant Jose Dueñez Jr. passed out of committee and is headed to the House floor!

The President made it clear tonight he has no interest in solving the health care crisis that HE created.

My guest, Pastor Jennifer, joined me to remind us that the REAL State of the Union is a health care crisis that Donald Trump has created.

Tonight, I want the President to tell the families in my community why he let the tax credits that helped them afford health care expire.

Life is more expensive than ever. Millions of Americans are losing their health care. Our communities are living in fear. Donald Trump is going to come here and lie, but that is the REAL State of the Union.

Black History is American History, and our nation is a better place because of our culture and the extraordinary achievements of Black Americans.
