Trump and Elon’s breakup is a distraction. Trump gave a ketamine addict access to Americans' private data, who gutted the federal workforce, and now cries “pedophile” after losing power. If he believed it, why wait? Congress must launch immediate oversight hearings. #CoEqualBranch #Ethics

The "Big Beautiful Bill" (BBB) is really just "Big Brutal Lie"(BBL). The MAGA BBL is designed to suck resources from the poor, to enhance the bulging backpockets of billionaires crating a pork-filled mess. The world isn't just watching, they're laughing behind our backs. #BBB #BBL #EconomicLipo

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJun 4(source)

Today, I enjoyed meeting with the National Association of Realtors to discuss how to increase housing supply, stabilize housing prices, and ensure our housing opportunities are fair for people of all backgrounds.

Today we remember the courage of those who stood for reform and faced unimaginable violence.

At today’s Agriculture Committee hearing, I spoke in support of the CLARITY Act to boost innovation, protect investors, and keep America leading in digital finance.

Well I'll be damned...I agree with #ElonMusk! Donald Trump and Speaker Johnson’s plan would rip healthcare from 14 million Americans and slash SNAP benefits for millions of working families. This bill must be stopped—our future depends on it.

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

The Trump administration is pushing a ban on Black men in the military over "razor bumps"—an attack on both service and identity. Imagine banning redheads over freckles. Black men have served this country since Crispus Attucks, yet this administration continues to erase their contributions.

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

The recent antisemitic attack in Boulder targeting peaceful activists is absolutely unacceptable. I’m holding those affected and their families in my thoughts. Hatred of any kind has no place in our communities.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJun 1(source)

104 years ago today, one of the worst acts of racial violence in U.S. history unfolded in Tulsa. We will never forget.

Five years ago, George Floyd’s murder was a heartbreaking reminder that our justice system is broken. It’s time for Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to ensure accountability and make our communities safer. #GeorgeFloydJusticeAct

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 26(source)

This Memorial Day, we honor the brave service members who gave their lives in defense of our country. As we remember their sacrifice, let us not forget where this tradition began.

62 years ago today the African Union was founded. It is a powerful symbol of unity and progress. On #AfricaDay we celebrate the continents rich history and commit to justice and continued partnership.

Earlier this week, I met with the Haitian Ambassador to the U.S., Lionel Delatour, to discuss the current conditions in Haiti and explore ways we can collaborate in support of the Haitian people, as members of the @houseforeign.bsky.social committee.

This legislation threatens to strip millions of Americans of their health care and food assistance. It includes nearly $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid and $300 billion to SNAP, potentially leaving over 13.7 million people without health coverage and nearly 3 million without food assistance.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 22(source)

I voted NO on House Republicans’ big ugly bill.
