While the American people face threats to their healthcare, Elon Musk waves a chainsaw on stage, laughing about cutting their essential coverage. I spoke today at UI Health to condemn these reckless cuts and speak up for the American people.
How EMBARRASSING. Trump and Vance threw a temper tantrum in the Oval Office — an awful show of leadership. I commend President Zelenskyy for standing his ground.
A meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy grew contentious, with Trump telling Zelenskyy that "you're not acting at all thankful" for U.S. support.
The budget proposal passed by House Republicans will have devastating consequences for Americans across the country. Your political party doesn't matter — if you're covered by Medicaid, you will either face higher premiums or lose your healthcare entirely.
House Republicans passed a budget proposal to cut Medicaid by $880 billion. This proposal will have destructive consequences for all Americans, regardless of political party. Postpartum coverage for mothers is now at risk, worsening our country’s maternal mortality crisis.
🚨In a chaotic vote process, House Republicans jammed through a budget plan that would give $4.5 trillion to the wealthy few. Who pays for their tax cut? Hardworking Americans just trying to make ends meet. Every Democrat sided with the American people and voted NO.
The Republican budget proposal is a betrayal to hardworking Americans. It makes massive cuts towards Medicaid while sneaking away trillions in tax cuts to the top 1 percent. I will be voting against this disastrous budget.
This is deeply frightening. I am thankful everyone is safe. We can’t allow accidents, or near misses, to continue. Day after day, FAA workers who ensure our air travel safety are being fired. President Trump & Elon Musk must stop these reckless actions before more people get hurt.
A Southwest Airlines jet attempting to land at Chicago Midway Airport nearly collided with a private plane on the runway.
The US voted against a UN resolution condemning Russian aggression in Ukraine on the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion. The US joined Russia, North Korea, and Iran. These are the countries President Trump allies himself with.
The Chicago Black Renaissance was a transformative period in art that emerged from the South Side. Music, literature, and visual arts evolved, addressing societal issues of the time. This revolution established identity and laid groundwork for the civil rights movement.
President Trump tried to fool the American people and quietly install Kash Patel as Acting Director of the ATF, the agency responsible for enforcing gun laws.   Here's his bio:   A gun lobby puppet who has no business leading the FBI or the ATF.
Here's 5 things I did last week, Elon Musk: 1️⃣Spoke with over 11k constituents 2️⃣Put everyday Americans over the 1% 3️⃣Fought to save Medicaid 4️⃣Stood up for the federal workers you want to fire 5️⃣Renewed my commitment to get you OUT of our government 👋
This week, I visited the University of Chicago Law School to speak with students about my career in public service and share my thoughts on our political climate. The conversation that I had with these future lawyers was truly inspiring. The future is bright with their passion and curiosity.
On what would’ve been his 85th birthday, I’m honoring the legacy of my dear friend, John Lewis. This #JohnLewisSelfie was taken during a sit-in on the House floor to protest Congress’ lack of action on gun safety. He taught us to create Good Trouble. @johnlewisorg.bsky.social
We’re just one month into the Trump administration, and people have had enough of the circus. Today, I stood with everyday Americans to speak out against the administration's dangerous actions. I will always stand against corruption and self-interest that puts lives at risk.
People outraged by Trump’s budget cuts visited my office today. I told them: I stand with you. We must work together to get my Republican colleagues to do what’s right and protect the freedoms of the American people.
Yesterday, I spoke out against Trump’s destructive funding cuts to essential programs that millions of Illinois families rely on, like Medicaid and SNAP. Republicans are cutting billions from these vital programs to give tax breaks to billionaires. It’s unacceptable.
Multiple employees report being fired from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services amid our alarming maternal mortality crisis. This isn't an episode of The Apprentice — lives are at stake. President Trump and Elon Musk need to keep their hands off our healthcare programs.
Happy President’s Day! Today, I am honoring the legacy of those who have led America. Their commitment to serving the American people has played a crucial role in shaping our nation and fostering progress.
President Trump claims to care about everyday Americans, but his plan to slash federal Medicaid funding would strip life-saving coverage from 2.4 million people in Illinois. He will endanger lives to give out tax cuts to his billionaire friends. I will not stand for this threat to public health.
President Trump promised to lower prices for the American people on day one. But that was just the beginning of the Republican Rip Off. Hard-working families of the Second District can expect to lose TRILLIONS to big corporations and the richest CEOs. I will fight to protect your hard-earned money.
