Donald Trump’s rescission package cuts $8 billion in foreign aid—including funding for HIV treatment, refugee resettlement, and humanitarian relief. These aren’t “wasteful programs”—they save lives and help strengthen communities. This bill will kill millions of people across the globe.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 10(source)

I stand with my friend and colleague @repilhan.bsky.social and condemn the racist, sexist, and Islamophobic attacks by Rep. Fine. I join @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @housedemocrats.bsky.social in demanding enforcement of House rules on decorum and civility. This conduct is disgraceful.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 8(source)

I had the pleasure of sitting down with @wttw to discuss how Trump's "Big Brutal Lie" will truly impact Chicago today and for years to come. We have to fight back and restore the America that we were promised and take back power from the Billionaires news.wttw.com/2025/07/07/i...

Illinois Democratic Congress Members Sound the Alarm on Medicaid, SNAP Cuts

President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill is now law, after days of heated debate and close votes in Congress. Democrats say the cuts will impact low-income Americans.

We left kings in 1776 and we’re not going back. Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

This is NOT what the American people voted for! This is NOT making life more affordable for the working-class!

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 3(source)

I just voted NO on Donald Trump's "Big Ugly Bill." I voted NO to removing health care from 17 million people. I voted NO to reducing food assistance to 40 million Americans. I voted NO on this dangerous bill that will endanger the lives of millions of people.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 3(source)

Midnight update on the Bug Ugly Bill.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 3(source)

You know a bill is bad when it can’t pass without threats or backroom deals. If it were worth supporting, you wouldn’t have to twist arms

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 3(source)

This landmark legislation dismantled segregation and banned discrimination based on race, color, religion, and sex — but the work is not done. We cannot let up until justice, equality, and dignity are a reality for everyone in this country.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 3(source)

We celebrate 61 years since President Lyndon B. Johnson made history on July 2, 1964, by signing the Civil Rights Act into law.

We are being held HOSTAGE by the Extreme MAGA Republicans...they will not let us leave until they can take away your #Healthcare

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 3(source)

Republicans are attempting to delay this vote until the dead of night to pass this #BigUglyLie in darkness! @housedemocrats.bsky.social are keeping up the pressure to bring this disaster of a bill to light. We will keep up the FIGHT!!

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 3(source)

At this point, this is not a legislative debate, it is a hostage situation. Republican's have held the United States of America HOSTAGE for 352 minutes and 29 seconds to force through the President's #BigUglyBill ... that's how much they want to take healthcare away for you!

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 2(source)

Trump is at the White House trying to sweet talk Republicans into backing a disastrous budget bill that would hurt millions and reward the ultra-wealthy. We only need 4 Republicans to put the people first and vote NO.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 2(source)

Chicagoans deserve better. Americans deserve better.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 2(source)

This morning I’m back in D.C. to vote NO on this disastrous bill. If passed, this bill would: - Strip health care from 17 million Americans - Slash food assistance for 40 million people - Add $4 trillion to the national debt - Close hundreds of hospitals - Shut down 1 in 4 nursing homes
