Mike Quigley, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Illinois’ 5th district since 2009, shared his views and reminders through social media posts on December 6, 2024. His comments touched upon political appointments, historical milestones, and healthcare deadlines.

In a post made on December 6 at 14:11 UTC, Quigley criticized the selection of individuals for former President Donald Trump's cabinet.

He marked the occasion by acknowledging ongoing efforts to ensure equal rights for all citizens with his statement: "159 years ago today, slavery was abolished in the United States.
