I will always fight to make sure our veterans have the health care, resources, and dignity they deserve. If you or a veteran you know is in need of support, call my office at (773) 506-7100
Today, on Veterans Day, I want to speak directly to the incredible men and women who have served our country: I see you, I honor you, and I am deeply grateful for your service to our country. Veterans are a part of our community, and we owe them not just our gratitude, but our action.
I’ve been clear from the start: I refuse to turn my back on the millions of Americans who are already seeing their health premiums skyrocket. Health care must be a priority. That’s why I’m voting NO on the continuing resolution.
She is as good at chess as she is at poker and will go down in history as the most effective speaker in the history of our nation. @pelosi.house.gov, thank you for your tireless work for the people.
Generations of Americans are better off because of the progressive leadership of my treasured friend Nancy Pelosi. Speaker Emerita Pelosi is a brilliant strategist and has demonstrated over and over again her astounding ability to successfully navigate the most complex negotiations.
Breaking News: Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the only female House speaker, said she would retire in 2027, ending a run as one of the most powerful women in U.S. politics. nyti.ms/3XkTV49
Every person, regardless of immigration status, deserves to live with dignity and without fear. Now, more than ever, we must speak up, stand up, and defend our shared values of compassion, justice, and solidarity. We are a nation of immigrants. Together, we will not back down.
Thousands of neighbors came together for an Emergency Food Drive in Evanston this weekend to support families in need. In times of uncertainty, it is inspiring to see so many people join hands to lift up our community and make sure no one goes hungry.
I’m disgusted and outraged by reports of ICE terrorizing students, families, and community members today in Evanston, Skokie, and across the 9th District. My team and I are monitoring the situation and coordinating with local partners to protect our neighbors.
Hunger doesn’t take a break during a government shutdown. Congressional Republicans are blocking access to SNAP, hurting those who need help the most. SNAP is a lifeline, not a political bargaining chip. Now more than ever, we must prioritize the needs of working Americans. The time to act is now.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) bashes the Trump administration and USDA's decision to not use emergency funds to keep SNAP running during the government shutdown. "There are many people that are on SNAP that cannot survive without the food that they might get with SNAP."
In just days, Americans will see their health care costs skyrocket because of the GOP’s reckless government shutdown. It’s time Republicans end their taxpayer-funded vacation and get back to work. Democrats are here fighting for working families — not billionaire donors.
A mother just called my office and was terrified. Her adult son with intellectual disabilities lives in a care facility and relies on SNAP to eat.   Trump and Speaker Johnson would rather let people suffer than actually do their jobs.
Breaking News: Roughly two dozen states sued the Trump administration over its refusal to fund food stamps during the government shutdown, seeking to spare roughly 42 million people from hunger and financial hardship starting Nov. 1.
Trump and Speaker Johnson can’t be bothered to show up to work while Americans' health insurance premiums skyrocket, and they struggle to put food on the table. Families will starve, but don't worry, billionaires will still get their tax breaks.
Speaker Mike Johnson is siding with the Trump administration’s decision to not tap emergency funds for food aid for 42 million Americans — who are slated to lose SNAP benefits on Saturday if the government shutdown continues.
