This week I had the honor of meeting with H.E. Robert Dussey, Foreign Minister of the Togolese Republic, to discuss regional security, bilateral cooperation, and Togo’s diplomatic efforts to advance peace and stability across West and Central Africa.
State Farm’s 27% rate hike is outrageous and unfair to Illinois families. Hardworking people shouldn’t pay more because of corporate greed or disasters in other states. I fully support @GovPritzker—Illinoisans need transparency, accountability, and real consumer protection. Enough!
Six months into Trump’s second term, the assault on DEI is in full swing. This is anti-Blackness on steroids. It’s wholesale policy violence.
I'm proud to join @reppressley.bsky.social’s fight to #DefendDEI and help ensure everyone in America can thrive.
I am completely opposed to this shortsighted decision and will continue to work to effectively respond to President Trump’s reckless actions.
Chicagoland is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Robie House, located in Hyde Park, was designated a world heritage site in 2019, along with the Unity Temple in Oak Park. U.S. participation in UNESCO helps preserve and protect important landmarks like the Robie House and Unity Temple.
The Trump administration’s decision to withdraw from the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is the latest in a long series of counterproductive decisions that undermine U.S. leadership on the world stage.
House Democrats are demanding the truth and forcing a vote to release the Epstein files. Meanwhile, House Republicans are once again siding with the elite—protecting the powerful instead of the people. The American public deserves answers, not more cover-ups

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson Denounces Passage of Republican Rescission Bill
Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson Honors Nelson Mandela International Day-Upholding Democracy Over Division
Absolutely shameful: The GOP’s rescission bill rips $9 billion from foreign aid, NPR, and PBS. Millions worldwide: Afghan kids, Haitian families, Pakistani women...will lose food, medicine, hope. This isn’t fiscal responsibility, it’s cruelty and moral failure. #StopTheCuts
Celebrating the 163rd birthday of Ida B. Wells, a fearless journalist, anti-lynching crusader, and civil rights pioneer whose voice shook the nation and still inspires the fight for justice today.
Trump’s rescissions bill passed in the dead of night because gutting $8 billion from foreign aid and $1 billion from PBS and NPR is too shameful to do in daylight.
MAGA Republicans want you distracted and in the dark. I’ll be voting NO on this heartless bill.
I voted NO on the rescission bill while it was in the House, and I’ll be voting HELL NO if it comes back.
They want to cut aid to Pakistan, a country that hosted nearly $60 million in US humanitarian assistance for Afghan refugees in 2022. This isn't just about charity; it's about preventing crises that can spiral and affect us all. Our values demand better.
Let's talk about Haiti. They're facing immense challenges, and this rescission bill cuts crucial humanitarian aid. We're talking about life-saving assistance. What kind of message does that send?
This rescission bill isn't just hurting Chicago; it's hurting the world. Gutting foreign aid to places like Afghanistan, where the World Bank has provided nearly $2 billion in support since 2021 for basic services, impacts global stability and our own national security.
Trump’s rescission package will eliminate $1.1B in public media funding, threatening local PBS & NPR stations across the country. Rural and urban communities could lose vital access to emergency alerts, education, and trusted news.
