Internet access is not a luxury. It is how families connect to work, school, healthcare, and opportunities. Today, with @durbin.senate.gov, I introduced the Promoting Access to Broadband Act to help families navigate the enrollment process to Lifeline for affordable internet.
The Supreme Court just weakened the Voting Rights Act and made it easier to silence Black voters. Let’s be clear: this is not about “fair maps.” It is about disenfranchising Black voters. We need the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court struck down a majority Black congressional district in Louisiana, weakening a landmark voting rights law’s protections against discrimination in redistricting.
Gas is over $4 a gallon. Healthcare costs are skyrocketing. Families are choosing between groceries and rent. Instead of lowering costs, House Republicans are pushing a cruel “Don’t Say Trans” and forced outing bill to attack trans kids. I’m a HELL NO.
I was grateful to join @NMQF.bsky.social for a thoughtful conversation on healthcare, equity, and the work ahead. I came to Congress to listen first and fight for my constituents’ healthcare and safety. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege for the wealthy few.
@krisbrown.bradyunited.org has helped shape the gun violence prevention movement for decades. From the Brady Bill to the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, Kris has never accepted gun violence as normal. I’m proud to recognize her courage, partnership, and fight to save lives.
@sewell.house.gov is a trailblazer, a champion for voting rights, and the proud representative of Alabama’s civil rights district. From the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to early cancer detection, her leadership is personal, powerful, and deeply needed.
Yesterday, at the @NMQF.bsky.social Summit, I was proud to present Congressional Awards to two women whose leadership has changed lives. Both of these women have protected our democracy, expanded access to health care, and fought for safer communities.
Good Kids Mad City’s peacekeepers are doing lifesaving work by preventing violence and opening different opportunities for our youth. I was proud to stand with them, as I have for the last decade, when Mayor Johnson signed an executive order advancing the Peacebook.
Last week, I introduced my bipartisan FOOD for Health bill as an amendment to the Farm Bill. This week, Rules Committee will vote on it. I urge my colleagues to vote YES. Everyone should have access to affordable, healthy food.
I represent more than 4,500 farming families in rural Illinois. I know what they need: lower costs, access to affordable healthcare, and reliable internet. House Republicans have made it more difficult for hardworking farmers, and rural America is paying the price.
Gun violence is never acceptable — not at a park, home, school, or the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Thanks to the swift action by law enforcement, there were no injuries. Gun safety laws can save more lives across the country.
Thank you to We Are Our Own Medicine for hosting an important conversation on gun violence prevention. I joined the panel to talk about survivor support, equitable funding for community organizations, and the role of government to keep our communities safe.
There are over 500,000 veterans in Illinois, and I want to make sure that none of them are forgotten. Access to high-quality, reasonably priced healthcare is a right for all veterans. This includes having access to the top VA clinics, mental health services, and hospitals.
Our kids deserve healthy food that fuels their bodies and minds, which is why nutrition programs are essential. I introduced a bipartisan bill to support Food is Medicine programs that improve health through nutrition while lowering healthcare costs.
For nearly 60 years, South Siders were promised a CTA train station. Today, that promise finally became reality. The @chicagocta.bsky.social Red Line Extension means shorter commutes, greater access to jobs, and investments in a far South Side too often left behind.
Gun violence continues to devastate families across the country. We owe it to every survivor and every loved one lost to push for policy to end this epidemic. I’m holding the gun industry accountable through my Responsible Firearms Marketing Act and Firearm Safety Act bills.
Trump’s ICE & deportation quotas hurt real people. They’re our friends, teachers, business owners, & neighbors. ICE needs to be dismantled to keep families safe, respect dignity, & support the community. I won’t stop fighting in Congress for real immigration reform that reflects those principles.
