Mike Quigley, a U.S. Congressman representing Illinois' 5th district since 2009, has recently shared several important messages on his social media platform. Quigley, who succeeded Rahm Emanuel in Congress and previously served on the Cook County Board of Commissioners, took to Twitter to discuss topics ranging from Holocaust remembrance to tax filing services and immigration enforcement actions.

On January 27, 2025, Mike Quigley marked International Holocaust Remembrance Day with a solemn reminder of the six million Jewish lives lost during the Holocaust. He emphasized the ongoing need to combat antisemitism and ensure that the atrocities of the Holocaust are neither minimized nor forgotten. His tweet read: "On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people who were killed during the Holocaust. As we remember, we must continue our fight against antisemitism and ensure that the horrors of the Holocaust are never minimized or forgotten. #NeverAgain".

Later that day, at 18:00 UTC, Quigley informed his constituents about Direct File's opening for eligible Americans to file their taxes online for free through the IRS. The tweet included a link for users to check their eligibility: "Direct File opens today! Direct File allows eligible Americans to file taxes for free online with the IRS.
