To every Team USA athlete, coach, & staff member: you made history. You carried the hopes of a nation into the arena and delivered with grit, grace, and heart. Thank you for every unforgettable moment. Congrats to those who won medals. See you soon for the Paralympics. 🇺🇸
There’s no justice for the dead. True justice would be Renee Nicole Good, Alex Pretti, and Silverio Villegas Gonzalez still alive today. I continue to fight for accountability to: ▶️ Dismantle ICE & CBP. ▶️ Impeach Kristi Noem. ▶️ End qualified immunity. Nothing less.
With over 4,500 farms in my district, I know how many families and communities are depending on us to get this right. Republicans’ farm bill protects pesticide corporations, weakens clean water safeguards, ignores SNAP, and leaves family farmers paying the price for Trump’s tariffs.
Today for Black History Month, I’m honoring my soror Alice Allison Dunnigan. She broke barriers in the White House press corps and forced presidents to answer questions about race and justice. Her fearless reporting reshaped political journalism.
Prices are up across the board. Speaker Johnson tried to block the House from challenging Trump’s tariffs. He failed. Trump’s tariffs policy lost AGAIN in front of the Supreme Court. We should be lowering costs for hardworking families.
Four years after giving birth prematurely, this NICU mom told me she treasures every moment with her daughter—but she still doesn’t have answers as to why it happened. My PREEMIE Act will research the causes of premature birth, so we can prevent families from going through the same trauma.
Honoring John Lewis on his birthday.  Together, we led a 26-hour sit-in on the House floor, protesting Congress’s lack of urgent action after the shooting at Pulse Nightclub.  His legacy inspires me to keep challenging the gun lobby and making Good Trouble. #JohnLewisSelfie
Secretary Noem has weaponized DHS with mass surveillance tools that treat every citizen like a suspect. From ending TPS protections to Gestapo-style ICE raids, she has violated the public trust. Impeachment is the best way to stop her from further eroding our civil liberties.
Next week, President Trump will give the State of the Union and spew lies about lowering healthcare costs. The truth? His Big, Ugly Law gutted Medicaid by nearly $1 BILLION. He refused to extend the ACA tax credits. Our public health is in a state of crisis.
The Supreme Court dealt a devastating blow to President Trump’s tariffs. Speaker Johnson may not have grown a spine to stand up to Trump, but we just won in the highest court of the land. A 6-3 rebuke to Trump’s overreach is a long-overdue win for the American wallet.
I led the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social in demanding the release of pregnant and nursing moms in ICE detention centers. Pregnant women have been shackled, deprived of prenatal care, and even lost their babies. It’s inhumane. Like these judges, I want answers.
Illinois lost 400 farms in 2025. Republicans are proposing a farm bill that is too little, too late. It ignores Trump's tariffs, lost markets, and massive debt. Our farmers need a lifeline. USDA data confirms it: Trump’s economy is killing family farms. We must act now.
First, Renée Good. Then Alex Pretti. Who is next? Masked federal agents operating with deadly force and little transparency is a failure of oversight. I will continue my fight to rein in DHS, end anonymous enforcement, and impeach Kristi Noem.
Veterans followed the call to serve. They should not be punished for following their doctor’s care plan.
🧵1/2 : Yesterday, VA quietly issued an interim final rule that immediately changes how veterans’ disability ratings are evaluated: no notice, no explanation, no debate. Trump's VA Secretary Collins did not consult VSOs or Congress before acting.
