On the House Agriculture Committee, I'm fighting to end the hunger crisis—not fund tax cuts for billionaires on the backs of 5 million families losing nutrition assistance. Our communities deserve better.

6/ Given the President’s decision to launch military strikes, detain Nicolas Maduro, and proclaim that his Administration “runs” the country, the U.S. bears a responsibility for a clear democratic roadmap with an inclusive, Venezuelan-led process for its people to determine their future.
5/ Diplomacy must also deliver tangible benefits. For Venezuelans to start anew, their country’s natural resources must be used to rebuild communities and improve daily life. Yet, there is a lack of transparency about how the Trump administration is controlling billions in Venezuelan oil revenue.
4/ Any credible reconciliation must include all of Venezuela’s democratic opposition, not just a select few. That is why I met opposition leaders and civil society representatives on the sidelines, treating Venezuelans as equal partners, not servants of a foreign viceroy.
3/ I met with Venezuela’s interim government and welcomed Jorge Rodríguez’s initial dialogue with members of the 2015 National Assembly. Sanctions and unauthorized military action have not improved Venezuelans’ lives. Sustained, principled diplomacy offers a better path.
2/ I first traveled to Venezuela with my father in 2005, and meet with Afro-Venezuelan groups, local religious leaders, and government officials, including Hugo Chávez. I returned two decades later with the same conviction: peace will only come through engagement with the Venezuelan people.
1/ I was honored to join the first congressional delegation to Venezuela in a decade. After years of estrangement,
@houseforeign.bsky.social delivered a simple message: the United States and Venezuela share a history, and our people have too much in common to abandon dialogue and diplomacy. 🧵
Honored to moderate this powerful town hall today at the #BlackWomensExpo: Unbought, Unbossed, Unstoppable Black Political Power!
Featuring the voices, vision, and leadership shaping our future- @repbeatty.bsky.social @lwv.org, firstrepair.org, @lwvchicago.bsky.social, ncbcp.org, collectivepac.org
5/ Sixty-one years later, the lesson is clear: expanding public health care works and the job isn't finished.
I will keep fighting for health care as a human right until everyone is covered.
It's time to pass Medicare for All.
4/ Yet, Medicaid and Medicare are under constant attack by Republicans who are gutting programs and making it harder for people to keep their coverage—all while protecting tax breaks for Billionaires.
3/ Government healthcare programs have transformed America. They have helped children, seniors, people with disabilities, working families, and rural communities get the care they need. They've saved lives, reduced poverty, and strengthened health systems across the country.
2/ The results speak for themselves. in 1966 when Medicare launched, nearly the entire eligible population age 65 and older - more than 19 million people who had been lacking quality medical care - enrolled.
🧵1/ Pres Truman's plan for national health was called "socialist" & "communist" but advocates believed something simple: your ability to see a doctor shouldn't depend on your bank account.
The anniversary of Medicare & Medicaid reminds us protecting & strengthening public health is an ongoing fight.
Unfortunately, the reliance on AI is the result of Elon and DOGE taking a chainsaw to the US government and hollowing‑out essential departments. Even worse is the effect this will have on the most vulnerable
@oxfaminternational.bsky.social www.oxfam.org/en/press-rel...
Trump's @statedeptus.bsky.social used an AI map that mislabeled nations across Africa.
Every. Single. One.
This isn't just an embarrassment- it's a symbol of an administration that has treated a continent of 1.5 billion as an afterthought. Our African partners & the American people deserve better.
Check out the incredible parks across Chicago and remember these spaces deserve investment, not divestment. The Trump Administration's proposed FY2027 budget would cut $736M from the National Park Service, threatening staffing and visitor services across the country. We must protect our parks.
July is Parks & Recreation Month, a reminder that thriving communities are built by investing in the places that bring us together. Parks aren't a luxury—they're essential public spaces that support health, strengthen neighborhoods, and ensure every family has access to nature, play, and connection.
Powerful storms brought destructive winds, hail, heavy rain, and widespread power outages across Chicagoland. Please stay away from downed power lines, follow guidance from local officials, and check on your neighbors. If you need assistance or resources, my office is here to help. Stay safe.
Humanitarian aid should never be delayed by unnecessary barriers. I continue to call on Secretary Rubio and Secretary Bessent to lift U.S. sanctions and economic restrictions that are severely hindering relief efforts, so lifesaving aid can be more effectively coordinated and delivered.
