I had the honor of discussing everything from the value of agriculture technology to drinking water needs to faith with the First Lady of Kenya Rachel Ruto. Our nations have deep ties and should continue to increase our partnership rooted in our shared ideals.

Mrs. Bettye Jean Mason Odom was so many things- an accomplished actress, model, television host, author, entrepreneur, and educator. But most of all, she was a trailblazer whose recent passing marks the loss of a visionary leader and beloved pillar of the Chicago community.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMar 31(source)

With issues of war, hunger, and healthcare on the line, the administration is prioritizing suing a Coca Cola bottler for daring to have a two-day event for women. As Women's History Month comes to a close, we acknowledge that the fight for progress has never been more important.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMar 31(source)

Hegseth blocked Black and female officers, who have served our country for decades, from a one-star promotion. His racist and misogynistic policies are dragging down our national security at a time when Trump is unilaterally increasing our threat levels on multiple fronts.

"They are 100% merit based." Rear Admiral Nancy Lacore sets the record straight after Pete Hegseth blocks military promotions.

I provided testimony to @democrats-appropriations.house.gov RM @frankel.house.gov and Chair Diaz-Balart for FY27 NatSec/State Member Day calling out @secrubio.govpeeps.us for letting millions of dollars in medicine expire rather than support the most vulnerable women around the world.

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

I provided testimony before the FY27 Subcommittee that used to be in charge of global aid and development, not only as a legislator, but as a witness to a moment in our nation’s history where those in power no longer strive to prevent war or promote peace and prosperity for all.

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

Eid Mubarak! As Ramadan comes to a close, I wish all who celebrate in IL01 and beyond a joyous Eid al-Fitr! Take this time to come together and celebrate life's many gifts, and renew your hope and joy for the future

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

As Muslims around the world gather today to celebrate Eid, I am proud to recognize Kamran Khan. Arriving in the U.S. at 18, he helped pave the way for the first White House Eid celebration in 1996.

Today we celebrate everything that Irish culture brings to Chicago, especially the South Side Irish community. Enjoy responsibly and support the local bars, restaurants, and small businesses that make IL01 such a vibrant place to live and visit

I joined @repyassansari.bsky.social, @sarajacobs.house.gov, and my fellow Democrats demanding transparency from Pete Hegseth on what lead to the horrific killing of 175 civilians- mostly little girls - at a school in Iran.

One of the first strikes of this illegal war killed 175 civilians, including many children, at an elementary school. I joined @sarajacobs.house.gov and @crow.house.gov with 100+ colleagues demanding an investigation and answers from Secretary Hegseth on preventing further civilian harm.

Liberator of more than 70 enslaved people, nurse, Army spy, advocate for the rights of African Americans, and champion of women's suffrage, Harriet Tubman became an ancestor on this day in 1913. We owe so much to her vision, tenacity, and love of freedom, family, and faith. #WomensHistoryMonth

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMar 5(source)

I voted YES on the War Powers Resolution because Congress cannot relinquish it's constitutional duty, the Trump administration shouldn't get a blank check for another endless war, and the American people must be heard.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJan 30(source)

Freedom of speech. Freedom of the press. And even the right to keep and bear arms. These are not partisan gifts; they are Constitutional promises which the Trump administration has trampled. When any administration chills dissent and punishes truth, democracy itself is wounded.

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

This is what erasure looks like. The Trump administration tore down a memorial honoring people enslaved by George Washington because truth makes them uncomfortable. You don’t defend history by deleting its victims. That’s cowardice, not patriotism.

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

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson recognized former NBA MVP Derrick Rose in a House floor speech, commemorating his jersey retirement and his legacy as one of Chicago’s most influential sports figures.

State officials at today’s @HouseAgDems roundtable were clear: the SNAP cost shift means impossible choices for working people. Trump and Republicans created this affordability crisis

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

One year of Trump: broken promises and higher prices. He swore costs would drop on Day One; instead his Big, Ugly Bill and tariff chaos has jacked up groceries, rent, health care, and utilities. Inflation’s up, families are squeezed. This has been a Total failure. #Loser

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

Rep. Fields are joined by Barbara Arnwine of the Transformative Justice Coalition to break down the impact of recent #SCOTUS decisions on voting rights, civil rights & our democracy. youtu.be/dOkHPwofYJg
