This Labor Day, let’s honor the workers and unions who built our nation and the middle class. We must recommit to protecting workers’ rights and fair wages—especially as the Trump Administration continues its attacks on working families.
A vast majority of Americans support commonsense gun safety reform, like universal background checks and safe storage. When will my Republican colleagues listen to our demands and reject the gun lobby? We need real action against gun violence.
Getting ready for tomorrow's backyard BBQ? Thanks to President Trump and his Tariffs, you’ll pay more at the store for hot dogs, burgers, and beer. Let’s be honest — Trump doesn't care about your bottom line; he only cares about his own.
Joined Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez and my colleagues in demanding RFK Jr. conduct transparent implementation of the Rural Health Transformation Program. This funding cannot be a band-aid for the deep, permanent cuts to Medicaid.
Chicago is strong because of our community leaders. Every day, real progress is being made to deter crime and save lives from gun violence. President Trump has always threatened and targeted Chicago, but we will not back down.
We are way past "thoughts and prayers." President Trump and his complicit Republicans have blood on their hands and need to act now and reform federal gun laws. Our children deserve action, not empty words.
The White House has fired medical experts and purged scientists from top positions at the CDC, risking public health. Science, not conspiracy theories, should be the basis of public health policy.
Chicago has worked hard to make OUR city safer. Crime has fallen to pre-pandemic levels thanks to community-led violence prevention efforts that provide safer paths forward. There’s more work to be done, but President Trump’s threats to send the National Guard hinder our efforts.
The White House fired CDC Director Susan Monarez, who’s standing her ground on basic scientific truth: Vaccines work. The Trump administration is once again choosing an unqualified anti-vaxxer over this country’s public health. Shameful.
The 1963 March on Washington was a defining moment in the fight for civil rights, showing us what is possible when we stand united against hate & division. Our fight for civil rights didn't end there, and it's why I'm committed to continuing the work everyday.
President Trump failed to lower prices for Americans. So instead, he fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. President Trump’s economy benefits billionaires only and leaves hardworking Americans behind.
Yesterday, I joined 186 of my colleagues to file an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to uphold states’ bans on conversion therapy for minors. Conversion therapy is dangerous, cruel, and abusive. No person should be forced to undergo this inhumane practice.
I'm heartbroken and frustrated by another school shooting in Minneapolis. Our children deserve better. The first week of school should be full of learning, laughter, and new friendships — not fear, horror, and tragedy. Now is time for action. Enough is enough.
President Trump — a man convicted of 34 felonies — does not care about law and order. Since Day One, he’s rolled back gun safety progress and withheld $800 million in funds to CVI groups. If he sends the National Guard to Chicago, he will undo all our efforts.
My heart is with the family of a 5-year-old boy who unintentionally shot himself when he found an unsecured gun. I, alongside the Kenwood community, grieves with them. This tragedy reminds us of the urgent need for safe storage to protect the 4.6 mil. children who live in homes with unsecured guns.
