Dedicated to fighting the climate crisis, Sean Casten has introduced dozens of bills related to climate change and US energy policy. It's no surprise that he has earned endorsements from these environmental organizations.

February was another productive month, from bill introductions to district programming, and I am proud of what was accomplished for the people of Illinois’ 6th District in such a short month. I look forward to continuing this work in the months ahead.

Iran's regime is repressive and destabilizing. But that does not justify unilateral war.

Members of Congress demand swift vote on war powers resolution after Trump orders Iran strike without congressional approval Both the House and Senate, where the president's Republican Party has a slim majority, had already drafted such resolutions long before theΒ strikes Saturday.

The Trump Administration's mixed messaging on its strikes against Iran makes clear that there is no legal justification for its actions.

I will vote for a War Powers Resolution this week to stop the Trump Administration's illegal war.

Binance Employees Find $1.7 Billion in Crypto Was Sent to Iranian Entities

Crypto has gotten bigger, but its fundamental value proposition has never changed. It is a tool that is perfectly designed to avoid anti-money laundering rules and it is being used for its intended purpose. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/t...

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau exists to protect Americans. The Trump Administration’s efforts to sideline the agency hurts families and their pocketbooks.

House votes to nix Trump's tariffs on Canada in rebuke of trade agenda Six Republicans crossed the aisle to oppose the tariffs on a major U.S. trading partner. The measure now heads to the Senate.

Americans have seen a surge in prices on groceries, utilities, and life under the Trump Administration.

Last week, I was proud to vote to terminate Trump’s tariffs on Canada. Tariffs drive inflation, and we have to put an end to the president’s attacks on our economy.

This is brazenly corrupt. A foreign country bought a $500 million stake in a company owned by the president. The president then provided that country with access to highly coveted AI chips, despite national security concerns.

Accountability for ICE and CBP However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is β€” the reality is far far worse.

"For much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States."

Sean is a cosponsor of articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who has overseen the baseless murder of Americans. He voted against funding for DHS and is now working to ensure the Senate shuts down any additional money to Trump’s ICE amid their lawlessness.

E.P.A. to Stop Considering Lives Saved by Limiting Air Pollution In a reversal, the agency plans to calculate only the cost to industry when setting pollution limits, and not the monetary value of saving human lives, documents show.

The Trump Administration will no longer consider whether or not you will die from pollution when setting emissions standards. Absurd.

H.H.S. Reverses Decision to Cut $2 Billion for Mental Health and Addiction Services A day after funding termination notices went out to more than 2,000 programs nationwide, the administration reversed itself and reinstated the money.

After learning the Trump Admin planned to cut funding for mental health care & addiction services, I joined colleagues in furiously lobbying HHS to change course.

I'm proud to see that our efforts were successful, but it's shameful that this was considered at all.

Donald Trump doesn’t hate clean energy; he hates energy you can actually afford. Clean energy is affordable energy. The president wants you to pay more while fossil fuels destroy your health and our planet.

Congress must address Kristi Noem's failed leadership, up to and including impeachment. But that alone is insufficient.

The entire chain of command who have enabled a culture of murder must face justice.

This bill passed unanimously in the House prior to Trump's veto. Today, 24 members of the House GOP voted for the thing they'd already voted for. The rest decided instead do as Daddy told them. That's 188 cowards

House poised to approve 3-year Affordable Care Act tax credit extension The House is on track to approve a three-year extension of expired health care tax credits, with a growing number of Republicans poised to back the measure.

Today, the House will vote on an extension of ACA tax credits that have saved families thousands of dollars.

Speaker Johnson did everything in his power to prevent this vote, but we've beaten him.

This is an important win, but our work doesn't stop until it is law.

Thank you for those words, Sean, and for your passionate commitment. Add in the closure of Mpls schools today after a high school ICE attack and anyone with decency should cry β€œENOUGH.” Thanks for taking the lead.
