Great news to start the day! A court just reinstated FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter after President Trump illegally fired her.   Independent agencies must stay independent. Now, Rebecca can continue her work protecting consumers, lowering costs, and holding corporations accountable.
A federal appeals court ruled that Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, a Federal Trade Commission commissioner that President Donald Trump fired, can be temporarily reinstated.
This Labor Day, remember: the middle class didn’t just happen, unions built it. The 40-hour workweek. Fair wages. Safe workplaces. All won by workers organizing. Now, Trump & his billionaire cronies are trying to tear it all down. We won't let them. Pass the PRO Act. Raise the wage. #UnionStrong✊🏻
To all those in the 9th District, and across the Chicago area, it’s crucial that you KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.    Please go to my website for more info or call my office if you need assistance.   We are, and always will be, a nation of immigrants.
Federal authorities are planning a large-scale immigration enforcement operation in Chicago after Labor Day, government officials announced Thursday. blockclubchi.co/3JXV5iA
Trump and DOGE put YOUR Social Security information at risk! Officials recklessly mishandled the names, addresses, and personal data of millions of Americans — threatening our privacy and security. For the safety of all Americans, we as a Congress cannot allow this gross mismanagement to continue!
Breaking News: DOGE put the personal information of hundreds of millions of Americans at risk by uploading Social Security data to a vulnerable cloud server, a whistle-blower complaint said.
Medicare Advantage is neither Medicare nor an advantage. It's private insurance using the Medicare name to overbill taxpayers, deny care, and pad profits. Congress must act now to rein in corporate greed, put patients over profits, and strengthen REAL Medicare.
Medicare Advantage plans cost 20% more per person. That’s $84B more in federal spending just during 2025. We need to pass my bill with @pocan.house.gov and @schakowsky.house.gov, the Save Medicare Act, and stop allowing insurers to use the Medicare brand to profit.
Donald Trump even considering deploying the National Guard to Chicago is outrageous and nothing but a power grab by an aspiring dictator. Our communities need investment, not intimidation. Sending troops into our neighborhoods will not help public safety, it will only escalate tensions.
Donald Trump's threat to bring the National Guard to Chicago isn't about safety — it's a test of the limits of his power and a trial run for a police state. Illinois has long worked with federal law enforcement to tackle crime, but we won't let a dictator impose his will.
On behalf of the entire Chicago community, I want to wish Sister Jean a joyful 106th birthday! 🎂 Your wisdom and enduring spirit have been a guiding light not only for @loyolachicago.bsky.social but for our entire city.
Trump’s latest attack on our democracy is a blatant attempt to disenfranchise millions of voters. His unconstitutional push to ban mail-in ballots is a direct assault on the rights of seniors, disabled individuals, and working-class Americans who rely on mail-in voting.
Trump echoes comments he said Putin made to him last Friday: "Mail in ballots are corrupt. You can never have a real democracy w/ mail in ballots. We as a Republican Party are gonna do everything possible. We're gonna start with an executive order to end mail in ballots."
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned over $20 billion to Americans. Now, a court just gave Trump the green light to dismantle it. We can't let working families pay the price. Corporate scammers, predatory lenders, and shady banks must be held accountable.
A federal appeals court panel has cleared the way for the Trump administration to largely dismantle the work of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Too often, we see worthy projects in our community go underfunded. One of the best parts of my job is bringing back federal funds for the 9th District. I secured $300,000 for the @apnaghar.bsky.social mobile advocacy program to better reach and assist survivors of gender-based violence.
For 90 years, Social Security has kept millions out of poverty. Now, GOP extremists want to privatize and gut it. We won’t let them. Not now, not ever. Today, as we celebrate this hard-earned benefit, I made it clear that it’s time to EXPAND Social Security, not destroy it.
