Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJan 23(source)

Trump's reckless executive order ending #ConsentDecrees with the #DOJ and local police undermines 150 years of progress in #CriminalJusticeReform. Reversing reforms to curb unlawful shootings dishonors the legacy of #GeorgeFloyd and all victims of police brutality. #PoliceReformNow #JusticeMatters

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

President Trump has chosen to dismantle the very programs designed to uphold King’s dream of equality and opportunity for all. This is an affront to the ideals of justice and fairness that define our nation’s highest aspirations."

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

On his first day back, Donald Trump pardoned violent criminals who attacked police officers on January 6. Shockingly, the Republicans are celebrating. This is a betrayal of law enforcement and the values we should stand for. I stand with our brave heroes and condemn these Pardons.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJan 21(source)

I thought the Extreme MAGA agenda was supposed to be focused on bringing down prices for everyday Americans? How does renaming the Gulf of Mexico bring down the cost of Eggs and Milk?

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJan 14(source)

I voted NO on the GOP "Child Predator Empowerment Act" it puts fairness and safety in sports at risk. We’ve seen the devastating impact of abuse in college athletics like the over 300 gymnasts victimized by #LarryNassar By targeting Transgender Athletes this bill opens the door to Predators

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJan 14(source)

Honored and deeply grateful to Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and my colleagues for the opportunity to return to the @houseagdems.bsky.social and @houseforeign.bsky.social Committees. These roles will allow me to fight for the needs of our farmers, workers, and families.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJan 13(source)

Inmates fight wildfires for next to nothing. Should risking their lives earn them the right to unionize & secure firefighter jobs after release? If H1B visas offer employment pathways for skilled foreign workers, why not for those who’ve proven their valor on the frontlines?

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJan 13(source)

January 15th is the last day for open enrollment in marketplace health plans. Pick the right plan for affordable healthcare today at healthcare.gov!

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

A well earned congratulations and thank you to CTA President Dorval Carter for his years long commitment and success in extending the Red Line. A triumphant victory in promoting equity in public transit for all Chicago residents.

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

I voted against the Laken Riley Act because it is a dangerous, punitive measure that targets immigrant communities, sows fear in neighborhoods across the country, and threatens the economic well-being of the 1st District of Illinois. This bill punishes the lawful along with the unlawful equally.

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

Words can't express how deeply honored I am to return to Congress for the 119th session, representing the vibrant communities of Illinois's 1st Congressional District and the great city of Chicago. Your trust and support mean the world to me.

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

Democrats stand united behind @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social I’m proud to cast my vote for him.

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

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govDec 20(source)

I commend my colleague @chiproytx for standing up to President @elonmusk-joinx.bsky.social and his DoBoy #DonaldTrump. Unelected oligarchs should not dictate U.S. policy only the elected representatives of the American people should have the authority to pass laws, not #Billionaires #Shutdown

Today Emperor #ElonMusk and his sidekick #DonaldTrump have put the lives of MILLIONS of Americans in jeopardy during the season of our Lord and savior’s birth. Instead of forcing a #GovernmentShutdown to benefit Billionaires #Congress should be working to help everyday working People.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govDec 17(source)

I am deeply grateful to @JoeBiden and @kamalaharrisfans.bsky.social for hosting us at the White House holiday party. It was wonderful to gather with friends, colleagues, and fellow Americans, sharing in the spirit of the season and reflecting on the challenges we’ve faced together. #HappyHolidays

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govDec 16(source)

The #EqualRightsAmendment #ERA has met all the requirements to become the #28thAmendment. All it takes is President @JoeBiden . I’m joining 121 of my colleagues in urging @POTUS to cement his #Legacy and #PublishTheERA & protect #genderequality in the #Constitution!

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govDec 16(source)

With heartfelt gratitude, my colleagues and I had the honor of meeting with a delegation from The #Gambia and the #InheritedRootsProject. Together, we explored ways to strengthen the bond between #Africans and the #AfricanDiaspora.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govDec 13(source)

Happy Anniversary to the @NationalGuard! For 388 years, these citizen-soldiers have answered the call, serving both our nation & our communities. We honor their dedication & sacrifice today. #NationalGuardAnniversary #CitizenSoldiers #AlwaysReady #ThankYouForYourService

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govDec 13(source)

#JdVance #EliCrane and other extremists want to celebrate #DanielPenny for the killing of #JordanNeely. We as elected officials should bring America together and work to prevent these senseless tragedies and move this nation towards peace and reconciliation
