As we honor our mothers, we must also recognize that too many are being failed by a system that should protect them. We will continue fighting for mothers today, tomorrow, and every day for their right to safe, dignified care, bodily autonomy, compassionate treatment, and healthy equity in America.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 11(source)

Wishing all moms a Happy Mother’s Day.  Today we celebrate your love, your sacrifices, and the strength you show every single day.

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

I thank God for the new Pope Leo XIV. If anyone were to right a world going in the wrong direction, it would be someone from the South Side of Chicago.

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

As we honor those who have dedicated their lives to ensuring the well-being of others, we celebrate leaders like Mary Eliza Mahoney, the first Black professionally trained nurse in the United States.

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

During #NationalNursesWeek, we recognize the hardworking and caring nurses of #IL01. Thank you for your dedication to your patients and commitment to providing lifesaving care at every stage of life.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 9(source)

I am deeply troubled by the dismissal of Dr. Carla Hayden, a trailblazing librarian and the first African American and woman to serve as Librarian of Congress. Her leadership modernized access to knowledge for all. This is a loss for intellectual freedom and public service.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 9(source)

This week I had the pleasure of meeting with the Illinois Road and Transportation Builders Association. We discussed legislative priorities for FY26 surface transportation and how Congress can support road and transit builders in Illinois.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 9(source)

We are a nation that cherishes democratic values, embraces diversity, and strives for peace—these are not 'woke' values.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 9(source)

As we celebrate #TeacherAppreciationWeek, we recognize the incredible legacy of educators like Mary McLeod Bethune, who believed in the transformative power of education to create a more just and equitable society.

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

Today, I voted NO on renaming the Gulf of Mexico. While rights are under attack, healthcare is at risk, jobs are disappearing, and groceries are too expensive, House Republicans are busy playing word games—this does nothing to address the real struggles Americans are facing.

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

The US-Africa Policy Working Group held a briefing today about the dismantling of UASID and the impact of President Trump’s foreign aid freeze.

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

Joy to the world! Today is a day of profound grace, pride, and hope. For the first time in the history of the Catholic Church, the city of Chicago—our city—has given the world a Pope. Congratulations, Your Holiness. Chicago stands with you. And the world walks with you.

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

#ChicagoPope

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

Today, I voted NO on multiple China-related bills that escalate economic warfare. History shows us: economic conflict breeds social unrest, which too often leads to physical war. We must pursue peace, diplomacy, and global cooperation—not provocation. #PeaceThroughJustice

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

I met with Hon. Wendell K. Jones, Ambassador of Bahamas to the US, to discuss strengthening economic and security ties between our two countries.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 7(source)

Today, as part of @houseagdems.bsky.social, I joined moms, veterans, and farmers to oppose the Republican plan to cut SNAP. We made it clear we won’t support a budget that harms America’s kids, seniors, and veterans.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 7(source)

The not-guilty verdict in Tyre Nichols' killing is a gut punch to justice. Trump’s war on police accountability—gutting reforms, shielding brutality—led us here. Pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. #JusticeForTyre #PoliceReformNow

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 7(source)

Starting today, May 7, 2025, U.S. travelers will need to present a REAL ID compliant license/ID for air travel within the United States and to access certain federal facilities. To find out if you are REAL ID compliant visit: www.dhs.gov/real-id

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 7(source)

That’s FOUR jets lost in just six months, $240M gone! Meanwhile, airports at home are in chaos, and Americans are scared to fly. Maybe putting a Fox & Friends weekend host and an MTV reality star in charge of national defense and transportation wasn’t the MERIT we were promised

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 7(source)

Another \$60 million F/A-18 Super Hornet lost—that’s three now—while working families face brutal cuts. Hiring a Fox & Friends host to run the Pentagon and attacking DEI instead of focusing on readiness clearly isn't working. We need leadership, not cable news cosplay #DoYourJob #Accountability
