From a constituent in Geneva, ILNO to Triumphal Arch at Memorial Circle
Regarding Trump’s Triumphal Arch at Memorial Circle: How does this help actual veterans? Ones that are alive? I'm 100% certain that the money spent to build this would be much better used on medical care, housing, or groceries for veterans that are suffering. And since the USA constantly seems to i
From a verified voter in Skokie, ILThe Attorney General is the nation’s top law enforcement officer, not the president’s personal attorney.

Co-sponsor and advance H.R. 40 to the floor for a vote.
