Chicago lost an icon. Sister Jean embodied the heart and soul of Loyola and gave our city endless joy, wisdom, warmth, and unwavering faith. Her legacy will live on in every life she touched. May her memory be a blessing.

Speaker Johnson is so fearful of the Epstein files, he's willing to force our hardworking servicemembers to go without pay. Democrats are ready to work with Republicans to lower health care costs, reopen the government, and pay our servicemembers. This is on you, Speaker Johnson.

Republican C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "As a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party,and I'm very disappointed in you, because you have the power to call the House back. You refuse to do that just for a show."

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govOct 8(source)

Speaker Johnson is running from the Epstein files. Instead of keeping the government shut down to protect pedophiles, Republicans should come to the table with Democrats to lower health costs, reopen the government, & deliver justice for Epstein's victims. Speaker Johnson, ball’s in your court.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition? JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back R: Why not now? J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

My top priorities remain bringing the hostages home now, ending the violence once and for all, and bringing long-term peace, justice, and security to Israelis and Palestinians alike.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govOct 7(source)

Often, fleeing homes and communities turned to rubble, living in fear and struggling to survive. The human cost of this war is staggering, and it must end now.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govOct 7(source)

My heart aches for those who were killed on October 7th and their loved ones who mourn their loss; for the hostages and their families who have endured an incomprehensible suffering; and for the thousands of innocent Palestinian families caught in the ensuing war that have lost those dear to them.

Two years ago, the world saw the worst perpetration of violence inflicted on the Jewish people since the Holocaust.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govOct 6(source)

The ICE raids taking place in our communities and the deployment of the National Guard to Chicago are not at all about public safety. They are about political theater. We will not let Trump get away with this. Not in Chicago. Not anywhere. Not now. Not ever.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govOct 3(source)

We will not be bullied by a wannabe tyrant and his Republican lapdogs. I look forward to voting for a budget that extends health care tax credits and protects families from rising health insurance rates. Republicans know where to find us - our door is open.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govOct 3(source)

The President of the United States is supposed to serve ALL Americans, but it is clear that Trump is either unwilling or unable to do so. This is money that has been appropriated by the United States Congress. The Executive Branch has no authority to intervene.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govOct 3(source)

This unconstitutional action is more proof that Donald Trump and Republicans are more interested in petty political retribution than lowering health care costs for Americans.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govOct 1(source)

Yom Kippur calls on us to reflect, repent, and recommit to justice. Wishing a meaningful and easy fast to all who observe. Let us all strive to build a more compassionate, equitable world. G’mar Chatima Tovah.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govOct 1(source)

I will vote for a bipartisan bill to open the government that protects families from rising health care costs, but I will not rubber stamp a Republican proposal that continues tax breaks to their wealthy donors while families pay more to visit the doctor.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govOct 1(source)

Now, they refuse to reopen the government unless they are allowed to keep throwing Americans under the bus.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govOct 1(source)

Republicans have made their priorities clear: they have already ripped health care away from 17 million Americans and doomed millions more to massive increases in health insurance prices so they can give tax breaks to their wealthy donors.

Government Shutdown Information

I want to inform you directly that, as of midnight on September 30, 2025, the federal government has entered a shutdown. Republicans control the entire federal government — the Presidency, the Senate, and the House. This is an utter failure of Republican leadership — it will substantially impact our communities and our economy and will drive up health care costs for millions of people.

There are 11 hours left until the Republican-led government shutdown. If Republicans let premium health tax credits expire, millions will face higher costs — including 26,000 people in Illinois' 9th District. We must put people over politics. The time to act is NOW.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govSep 29(source)

We are a nation of immigrants. This program is terrorizing immigrants and their families. People all across our community are demanding justice and proper oversight now.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govSep 29(source)

What's going on in Chicago right now is dangerous. I joined over 65 of my colleagues in demanding answers from the Secretary of Homeland Security on how the department is using racial bias for stop and arrest decisions.
