Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL) issued the following statement after the Department of Justice unsealed an indictment of former President Donald Trump in its investigation of the mishandling of classified documents:
A new bill introduced in Congress would allow 403(b) plans maintained by tax-exempt organizations to make use of collective investment trust (CIT) investments—an alternative to mutual funds that may provide significant cost savings for 403(b) plans and their participants.

WASHINGTON, June 2 (Reuters) - The latest standoff over the U.S. debt ceiling, resolved just days before the government faced a devastating default, has prompted some to call for the country to ditch its self-imposed borrowing limit.
That's not likely to happen any time soon.
Washington, DC - Today, Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL) issued the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 3746, the Bipartisan Budget Agreement, which raises the debt limit until January 2025:
“Today, I voted to prevent a devastating default, which would threaten the economic security of millions of Americans. While I’m relieved a bipartisan agreement came together, I’m disappointed that my Republican colleagues again brought our nation to the brink of economic collapse in order to advance a partisan agenda.
BELVIDERE — A federal deal to raise the debt ceiling will have a trickle down effect to the Stateline area.
Prior to the deal coming to the house floor for a final vote, lawmakers had to approve a "rule" which essentially means a deal and parameters to bring an item to the floor for a vote. The vote for that rule is where Republicans hit a snag.
