Four years ago today, the rogue Supreme Court stripped millions of Americans of their reproductive freedom. I have always trusted women to make their own health care decisions. Those choices belong to patients and their families, not politicians or judges.
Ten years ago, Democrats held a sit-in on the House floor for nearly 26 hours, demanding action on gun violence. A decade later, too many lives have been lost while Republicans continue to block commonsense reforms. We didn't stop fighting then, and we won't stop now. #GoodTrouble
I oppose any effort by the FCC to censor or stigmatize the transgender community.   Trans individuals deserve to see themselves reflected in our media without discrimination or warning labels.   Proud to stand with the LGBTQ+ community today and every day. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
CEC Chair @repmarktakano.bsky.social & member @schakowsky.house.gov led 68 Members of Congress in urging FCC to abandon any efforts to implement higher ratings or content warnings on shows that contain transgender characters or topics.

Happy Father’s Day! ❤️ Today, we celebrate all the fathers and father figures whose love, strength, and encouragement help shape our families and communities. Wishing you a joyful day with those you love.
Today, we celebrate Juneteenth and honor the generations of Americans who fought to end slavery and move our nation closer to its ideals of freedom and equality. As we reflect on our history, we must recommit ourselves to the ongoing work of building a more just society.
Medicare Advantage insurers too often put profits before patients, creating barriers that can leave people without the medically necessary equipment they rely on. I’m partnering with @pressley.house.gov to help ensure wheelchair users enrolled in Medicare Advantage can maintain their independence.
BREAKING: I'm introducing my FAST Repairs for Wheelchairs Act. This legislation would streamline wheelchair repair services by removing prior authorization requirements from Medicare Advantage plans. Our wheelchair users should not have to wait months for minor repairs.
I will miss Bea dearly, but I am profoundly grateful for the example she set and the friendship we shared. May we honor Bea by continuing the fight she devoted her life to. 

Rest in power, Bea.
Bea dedicated 107 remarkable years to fighting for working people, racial justice, and education. From organizing factory workers as a teenager to standing with labor unions, teachers, and communities throughout her life, she never stopped believing that ordinary people can build a more just world.
On the 14th anniversary of DACA, it is long past time for Congress to pass the Dream and Promise Act and give Dreamers who have studied, worked, and contributed to our communities a pathway to citizenship in the only country many have ever known.
Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children in America. That's not inevitable. It's a choice. We don’t have to accept this as normal. We know commonsense gun safety laws save lives. Our kids deserve more than moments of silence. We need action NOW. #WearOrange
Harmful chemicals linked to cancer and other health risks continue to be used in food packaging, exposing Americans to unnecessary dangers. @blumenthal.senate.gov, @delauro.house.gov, and I introduced a bill to ban the most hazardous chemicals used in food packaging and food processing materials.
Their agenda would hurt students, threaten teachers' jobs, and funnel public dollars into private education. They are putting profits first and our children last. We must continue fighting for the investments our students, teachers, and schools need and deserve.
The Republican-led House Education Committee holding a partisan hearing on Chicago Public Schools is laughable. At this very moment, Republicans are attempting to slash millions of dollars in funds for Head Start and K–12 education programs while simultaneously gutting the Department of Education.
I'm troubled by reports that six nurses at Saint Mary of Nazareth Hospital were terminated after participating in union organizing efforts. Every worker deserves the freedom to organize without fear of retaliation. Prime Healthcare must respect workers' rights & engage with employees in good faith.
Since Prime Healthcare acquired Saint Mary of Nazareth and other area hospitals, several nurses at the Chicago hospital spoke out about deteriorating conditions and potential unionizing. They were fired soon after. Prime says it prioritizes safety and denies retaliation.
