169 years ago today, the Supreme Court denied basic rights for Black people in Dred Scott v. Sandford.
President Trump is trying to drag us back to that time.
I refuse to let that happen. I will continue to fight for a nation where liberty and justice for all is a reality.

No veteran should have to fight for the care they’ve already earned. If you’re experiencing issues with the VA system, you’re not alone, and you deserve to be heard.
If you, or someone you know, needs assistance with a federal agency, please call my office at (708) 679-0078.
Today we celebrate the opening ceremony of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Paralympic Games.
Wishing the best of luck to all Team USA athletes. I am cheering you on and couldn’t be more proud!
The WELLS Act, named in honor of Mercedes, will protect pregnant patients from unsafe discharges and ensure that hospitals take real steps to confront racial bias.
Every mother deserves to be heard, believed, and cared for with dignity.

Mercedes Wells & I joined @nbcnews.com to introduce the WELLS Act.
Mercedes, who was discharged from a hospital while in active labor, told me she wants to be a vessel for change. Her courage to speak out will improve maternal health for her newborn daughter & many more Black women.
This morning, Chicago lays to rest Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights icon, our neighbor, and my constituent who shaped the fight for justice.
As I attend his memorial today, I honor his powerful legacy and impact on our city and the world.
Rest in power, my friend.
Guns are the #1 killer of American kids.
Yet the gun industry still markets AR‑15s to children and evades consumer protection rules that apply to every other common household item.
I introduced two bills to hold the gun lobby accountable and protect our kids.
President Trump fired Kristi Noem because he knew Congress was going to remove her.
My impeachment efforts against Noem gained momentum every time she opened her mouth and terrorized our country.
It’s time for her to go home and never enter public service—or adopt a dog—again.
Over 60 days into 2026, and the Republican-created healthcare crisis is still impacting millions of families across the United States.
Families are forced to choose between groceries and healthcare coverage.
I won’t stop fighting for affordable healthcare access.
You're FIRED.
Good riddance, Kristi Noem.
Accountability cannot hinge on political calculations.
Kristi Noem has terrorized communities, and unleashed her Gestapo agents on our cities. She must go.
I’m leading the articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem.
Trump promised farmers a “Golden Age,” but over 400 farms in Illinois were driven out of business.
Now, House Republicans are pushing a flawed farm bill that ignores the biggest challenges farmers face in our country: President Trump and his tariffs.
Donald Trump’s war in Iran endangers American lives abroad and raises costs for Americans here at home.
Meanwhile, House GOP will use Trump’s war to jam through funding for Noem’s DHS and ICE.
Republicans’ vision for our country is ruining lives.
Today is #RailDay2026. I look forward to welcoming freight rail leaders to my office to discuss their impact on Illinois’ 2nd District.
With 6,769 track miles in Illinois, rail supports good-paying jobs, strengthens our supply chains, and keeps 12.5M tons of greenhouse gases out of our atmosphere.
I’m impeaching Kristi Noem for abusing her power. DHS has weaponized administrative subpoenas to demand that major tech companies hand over your information.
I’m asking those billionaire-owned companies if they’re complying with DHS—or if they even try to fight for your First Amendment rights.
Proud to deliver $1.2M for upgrades to the Chicago Park District's Jackson Park!
This investment boosts safety & access near the Griffin Museum of Science & Industry and the future @obamafoundation.bsky.social Center.

Trump claims to put America first. But he’s spending billions of taxpayer money waging war abroad with no end in sight and endangering American troops.
Meanwhile, he’s stolen healthcare, food security, and economic opportunity away from hardworking Americans.
Happy Holi to everyone who is celebrating!
I hope your holiday is filled with joy and vibrant colors.
I’m grateful for the support of @ACLU.org and 26 other Members of Congress who’re demanding answers from Big Tech.
I will not be silent while free speech is attacked.
I was horrified to read this reporting by @JohnWoodrowCox, who exposed how DHS uses this little-known legal weapon to police people’s free speech. Some tech companies don’t even give you a heads up if they’re handing over your data.
