Breonna Taylor should be alive today. Six years later, her tragic death is still a reminder that racism takes lives. No-knock warrants should be banned. We must pass the Justice for Breonna Taylor Act to help prevent tragedies like this from ever happening again. #sayhername
Food insecurity pushes too many Americans toward cheaper, less nutritious food. The health consequences are real. We spend $1.1T each year treating diet-related diseases. While Trump pushes reckless policies that make it worse, I’m fighting for a bill to prioritize nutritious food and lower costs.
My thoughts are with the residents of Kankakee County and all communities impacted by this week’s tornadoes, high winds, & hail. I’ve been in touch with local officials and will do everything I can to support recovery & rebuilding. We will get through this together.
Join me at the Youth Opportunities Fair this Saturday! Bring a friend and be ready to design your future with 60+ vendors offering jobs, internships, training, and resources. 📅 March 14, 2026 📍 Hillcrest High School, 17401 S. Pulaski Rd., Country Club Hills, IL ⏰ 11 AM – 2 PM
Families across Illinois are grappling with the affordability crisis, which affects everything from rent to groceries to childcare. Prices are rising, and paychecks aren’t. It’s time to address the costs for real American families and end this crisis.
I’m aware of the tornado that moved through Kankakee County tonight. Please stay safe and follow guidance from local officials. I’ll continue monitoring the situation and thinking of everyone affected.
Last summer, the Trump DOJ cut $800M+ in public safety grants nationwide, including gun violence prevention programs. As temperatures rise, violence often rises too. President Trump is making our communities more dangerous. I will keep fighting to restore this proven & effective funding.
Come explore my Youth Opportunities Fair with me this Saturday. There’ll be 60+ vendors with jobs, internships, training, and resources. Youth of all ages are welcome! March 14, 2026 Hillcrest High School 17401 S. Pulaski Rd. Country Club Hills, IL 11am - 2pm Register here:
Black women are still not heard in our hospitals. Mercedes Wells was sent home while in active labor. That is unacceptable. Black women’s pain in childbirth cannot be ignored or dismissed. That’s why I introduced the WELLS Act to hold hospitals accountable and protect Black mothers.
A Marine veteran, Sgt. Brian McGinnis, had his hand broken by Capitol Police and a Republican Senator for exercising his First Amendment rights. Yet President Trump claims we’re sending troops to Iran to defend freedom. Start by respecting our freedoms at home.
The American people are being asked to trust an administration that has not earned it. Secretary Pete Hegseth refuses to rule out boots on the ground in Iran. He and President Trump are risking American troops for a costly war no one wants.
When I came to Congress, I saw a gap in representation for Black women & girls. With @RepYvetteClarke.bsky.social & @RepBonnie.bsky.social, we founded the Caucus on Black Women and Girls. This Women’s History Month and beyond, we make sure Black women’s contributions are seen and protected.
On #InternationalWomensDay, while Donald Trump attacks women and fuels his chaos, the @DemWomenCaucus.bsky.social is standing firm. We are standing firm against this administration’s reckless disregard for our freedoms. We’ve come too far to let bullies break us.
61 years after Bloody Sunday, we honor the bravery of those who marched, bled, and fought for our freedom and civil rights. Last year, I walked arm in arm with my colleagues across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma. I won’t ever forget our power to keep marching forward.
