I’m thrilled that my team helped one of my constituents recover $104,024 that the Social Security Administration owed her. If you need help with a federal agency I encourage you to reach out to my office to see how we can help!
December 7, 1941 is the day that will live in infamy. Today, join me in honoring the soldiers, sailors, and civilians who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor and commend the brave veterans who signed up to fight for our country in the days that followed.
On this day in 1865, the ratification of the 13th Amendment formally ended slavery in the United States. We can never forget this shameful chapter of American history and we must be unyielding in the fight for equality that continues to this day.
Supporting surviving families and disabled veterans is non-negotiable, but doing so on the backs of other disabled veterans is a nonstarter. Let’s come together to find a better way to fund these much-needed benefits – like making billionaires pay their fair share.
Today, we mark the 70th anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott beginning - a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement. As we honor civil rights heroes like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, let’s carry on their legacy by continuing to fight for equality and justice today.
The decision to restart one of the furnaces at Granite City Works is good news – it shows that our advocacy and collective action make a difference. We’re going to keep fighting for the long-term commitment and investments that Granite City deserves.
Every American deserves access to quality, affordable health care. Our @newdems.bsky.social framework is the path toward living up to that fundamental principle.
🚨New @lcv.org report shows that Illinois was a national leader in clean energy this year – and that our state’s investments in wind and solar are helping consumers with skyrocketing utility bills! I’ve been proud to partner with @ilenviro.bsky.social to push for this progress.
I’m proud to cosponsor the Veteran Education Empowerment Act introduced by Rep. Lois Frankel & Rep. Gus Bilirakis this week! This bipartisan bill would authorize funding for Student Veteran Success Centers at colleges & universities nationwide, and support veterans as they pursue higher education.
The @washingtonpost.com's latest editorial doesn’t just misrepresent the role of unions at the VA — it flat-out gets it wrong.
Strong unions help deliver better care for our veterans. That’s the truth.
After they slashed nearly a trillion dollars from Medicaid, Republicans offered just $50 billion as a band-aid for rural hospitals. As states apply for this funding, we need transparency to make sure that these critical dollars are distributed fairly.
Excited to unveil the New Dem Coalition Health Care Action Plan today! Our framework isn’t only about reversing Republicans’ manufactured healthcare crisis, it’s about creating a new standard where quality care is affordable and accessible to every American.
ICYMI: I sent a letter to the management of Sangamon Towers in Springfield demanding they take action to address the unsafe and unsanitary conditions in the apartment building. I will keep fighting until these issues are resolved for residents.
At the end of this month, the ACA tax credits will expire – plunging millions of Americans even deeper into the affordability crisis as their health care costs skyrocket.
It’s time for President Trump and Republicans in Congress to get serious about saving healthcare.
Today is World AIDS Day, where we come together to raise awareness and honor those we’ve lost to this disease. As a nation, we cannot turn our back on our partners working to save lives and end HIV/AIDS once and for all.
The Trump Administration has taken a chainsaw to VA and it’s having a real impact on our veterans. Cutting contracts with more than 1,200 veteran-owned businesses is just wrong.
Happy Small Business Saturday! Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and this Saturday is a perfect time to support our favorite local stores, cafes, restaurants, and more!
This National Family Caregivers Month, join me in honoring the 48 million Americans who serve as caregivers to their loved ones. These everyday heroes are an essential part of our healthcare system and it’s time we give them the recognition they deserve.
From my family to yours, happy Thanksgiving! I hope your day is filled with gratitude, good food and great time spent with loved ones.
