Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! Today we honor Native American communities, their history, and their enduring contributions. Let’s take this day to acknowledge the past, educate ourselves, and celebrate Native cultures across America.
This Republican shutdown is hurting families, small businesses, and communities across our nation. It’s time for House Republicans to come back to work with @housedemocrats.bsky.social to reopen the government and lower healthcare costs.
Republicans are cutting Medicaid, attacking Medicare and gutting health research. Your health care is under attack. House Democrats are fighting back.
27 years ago, hateful violence took the life of Matthew Shepard. His story reminds us of what happens when intolerance goes unchecked. Today, as extremists target our LGBTQ+ neighbors for who they are, we must recommit to building a nation rooted in love, safety, and equality for all.
National Coming Out Day reminds us that everyone deserves to live boldly and authentically. I’m proud to be a fierce ally to the LGBTQ+ community today and every day. Love and acceptance make our nation stronger. 🌈
Republicans are refusing to do their jobs. Once again, Speaker Johnson canceled votes for Tuesday instead of fixing the health care crisis, swearing in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva, or releasing the Epstein files. It’s clear their priorities are in service to billionaires.
I’m frustrated and angry by ICE raids in our communities — and I know you are, too. The dangerous escalation of ICE raids affect all of us, as they even arrest US citizens. It’s evil and cruel. It must stop.
If Congress lets enhanced premium tax credits expire, 4 million Americans will lose health coverage — including 1.1 million Black Americans. Healthcare isn’t a luxury. It’s a right. Congress must act now to keep coverage affordable and protect every family’s care.
Kids shouldn’t be pawns in political fights. Programs like Local Food for Schools and SNAP feed children and sustain local farmers. Cutting these programs hurt our kids, our schools, and the family farms that feed us. We should strengthen, not slash, these vital investments.
Farmers don’t need another band-aid from President Trump—they need trade stability and open markets. His trade war wounded America’s heartland, and now his shutdown keeps us from helping those he hurt. Farmers deserve solutions, not stunts.
It’s day 8 of President Trump’s Republican Shutdown. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and I are ready to work for the American people. But Republicans refuse to stand up to him, or come to the table, while Americans pay the price for their inaction.
Sickened to hear Trustee Muñoz’s reports from inside the Broadview ICE facility. Detainees are held in unsanitary, overcrowded cells with poor ventilation and limited access to restrooms. Meanwhile, Sec. Noem was shooting a promotional video. She treats people like props — it’s disgusting.
President Trump doesn't want to lead; he wants to be a dictator. Calling for the arrest of elected officials for doing their jobs is unAmerican and unacceptable. America doesn't have kings or dictators. I refuse to let him act like one.
Illinois Democrats are fighting back. @chuygarcia.house.gov & @ramirez.house.gov on the Judiciary and Homeland Security Committees are demanding answers from Sec. Noem and ICE. We were there Sunday to hear from South Shore families, and they want us to hold ICE accountable.
Under Secretary Noem’s reckless leadership, ICE has turned Chicago neighborhoods into war zones. Flashbangs, helicopters, and fear are not tools of public safety—they’re an abuse of power. Our communities deserve care, not cruelty, and real leadership, not chaos.
