This Valentine’s Day, Americans are getting rising costs, security breaches, and outright attacks on their freedoms under the Trump administration. President Trump’s love and adoration should be going to the American people – not billionaires and giant corporations.
After centuries of systemic racism – from slavery, to segregation, to the injustices that exist in our society today – @pressley.house.gov's #HR40Reparations bill would offer us a pathway toward truth, reconciliation, and accountability. We won’t back down in our pursuit of reparatory justice.
The health and wellbeing of 330 million Americans is now in your hands, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. We're prepared to work with you, but we expect you to take action to preserve accessible healthcare for everyone. The agencies you oversee must remain grounded in science and integrity.
We are fighting President Trump’s reckless agenda in court—and winning. His orders to revoke birthright citizenship, freeze federal funding, and force federal worker resignations have all been blocked. We remain hopeful that pending cases will be decided in our favor.
Last week, I toured @ucpseguin’s Tinley Park site, gaining insight into their remarkable work. UCP Seguin’s dedication to empowering individuals with disabilities through training, employment, and housing is truly inspiring.
Rainbow Beach was one of Chicago’s most segregated public spaces. On July 7, 1961, nearly 100 activists protested its racist policies, facing over 200 police officers and hostile white beachgoers. Their strength sparked a new era of protest in the city’s fight for freedom. #BlackHistoryMonth
This week, I honored Black nurses for their incredible work on the frontlines — saving lives while advancing cultural competency in medicine. I am optimistic about our collective ability to tackle health inequities and create meaningful change.
When this Administration spreads harmful rhetoric that undermines proven public health measures, millions are at risk. I urge the Senate to prioritize Americans' health by rejecting RFK Jr.’s nomination. We need real leaders to protect our communities.
Republicans once stood their ground. Now, they watch as Elon Musk controls our government, with Trump as his mouthpiece. These manufactured crises of the past two weeks have left us in disorder. Congress must stand up and fight for the people.
The Trump administration has just directed the DOJ to criminally investigate companies that implement DEI initiatives. Is diversity now a crime? This is yet another bullying tactic designed to punish the inclusion that makes our country strong. We must resist these attacks.
In 1961, the Freedom Riders risked their lives to challenge segregation, laying the foundation for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. I am proud to support @hankjohnson.house.gov's bill to award them the Congressional Gold Medal, ensuring their fight for equality is never forgotten.
President Trump has caved once again. After trying to burden taxpayers with his reckless tariffs, he has backed down after we boldly pushed back. Tariffs are just import taxes on hard-working Americans. We will not let President Trump continue to rip us off.
The U.S. treasury, which holds the sensitive data of millions of Americans, and USAID, which has saved countless lives globally, are now being tampered with by unelected billionaire Elon Musk. We must stop President Trump and Elon Musk's illegal actions to circumvent Congress.
This Black History Month, I’m highlighting progress in Illinois—starting with the pivotal Pullman Strike, where workers fought for fair wages and rights. In 2022, I passed the bill to designate Pullman a National Historical Park, cementing its achievements in Black history.
In a time of mourning the lives lost in the tragic plane crash in DC, President Trump has baselessly blamed diversity — days after he cut a committee responsible for aviation security. What we need now is qualified leadership, which the White House has failed to provide.
12 years ago today, a stray bullet tragically took the life of Hadiya Pendleton. I honored Hadiya's memory last year alongside her parents and continue to do so today. The gun violence epidemic must end. I will always fight for gun safety measures, regardless of opposition.
