@foushee.house.gov and I introduced the Second Chance Mental Health Access Act to expand mental health services for people transitioning from incarceration back into the community. These services would lower recidivism and strengthen our communities.
On #Juneteenth, I reflect on the ongoing fight for true equality. We cannot separate the fight for racial justice from the fight to police brutality, which disproportionately impacts Black people. We must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
On #Juneteenth, we remember that this country was built on the backs of Black people, and that we fought for our freedom. Today, our freedom remains under attack. I honor those who came before us by continuing the work toward justice and our civil rights. ✊🏾
High-speed internet isn't a luxury anymore. It’s an absolute necessity for homework, doctor appointments, and remote work. I am working with @durbin.senate.gov to bridge the digital divide for hardworking families in rural and urban communities.
The day is finally here: the Obama Presidential Center is open! I joined @cnn.com's Sara Sidner to talk about the newest icon of the Second District on the South Side. (Volume up to hear Jennifer Hudson taking us to church in the background 🎤)
I introduced a resolution with support from 92 @housedemocrats.bsky.social to designate June as Gun Violence Awareness Month. It’s a message to Congress: we must take action to end gun violence. Thoughts and prayers won't save lives.
Last month, my bipartisan Action for Dental Health Act passed @energycommerce.bsky.social committee. My bill expands dental care access to underserved communities because everyone deserves dental care, no matter where they live. Speaker Johnson should take action now and bring it to the floor.
Gun violence isn’t just a headline; it’s a public health crisis. It shapes where our kids can play and how our communities grow. I will always fight for real commonsense reform. No more silence. Enough is enough.
Every day, Trump finds a new way to profit off the backs of hardworking Americans. His family and allies get richer while the rest of us get higher costs and broken promises. I will keep fighting against this administration’s continued abuse of power.
President Trump chose to gut healthcare, chose an endless war in Iran, and chose to give tax breaks to the rich. Each decision caused prices to skyrocket for people like you and me. The Trump economic damage was completely preventable.
There’ve been over 150 mass shootings in 2026. It’s not even halfway through the year. Republicans refuse to pass lifesaving gun safety legislation despite overwhelming public support. Their inaction has consequences, and families are paying the price.
The Grifter-in-Chief strikes again. Donald Trump is spending more than $300 million of taxpayer money on a luxury ballroom after claiming Americans wouldn’t pay “one dime.” We will be stuck paying the bill of his vanity project.
The Trump DOJ ripped $66 million away from community safety and violence prevention efforts. The people doing the hardest work to stop violence are being forced to do more with less. These cuts are reckless and put lives at risk.
Epstein survivors deserve accountability and the whole truth. Todd Blanche and the DOJ need to follow the law, release the full Epstein files, and stop protecting the White House and their millionaire allies.
Prices are higher than ever, directly impacting hardworking families. President Trump’s response? “I love the inflation.” His war in Iran caused higher gas prices. His tariffs caused higher grocery prices. He is hurting our country and does not care. apnews.com/article/cons...
I’m incredibly grateful to my friend @mcbath.house.gov for hosting a powerful hearing to support community violence intervention organizations. Even under this Trump administration, we’ll make sure survivors’ voices are heard loud and clear: it’s beyond time to end gun violence.
Republicans claim there’s no money for healthcare. But then they give $70 billion in tax dollars to ICE to continue their reign of terror on our communities. Your tax dollars should be used to make your life better. Not bankroll Trump’s cruelty & corruption.
