My dear friend, Paul, transformed the lives of millions of poor & marginalized people around the world. This resolution honors his legacy & will guide the movement for global health equity. Thanks for your partnership @pih.org, @markey.senate.gov, @repraulruizmd.bsky.social, & @jayapal.house.gov.
This resolution lays out a 21st century global health strategy that focuses on building national health systems and seeks to save over 100 million lives per decade by increasing the flow of money in the global economy.
As Trump rips away lifesaving aid around the globe, we must rededicate ourselves to funding a robust global health strategy. I just introduced the Dr. Paul Farmer Memorial Resolution, which proposes a $125 billion annual budget for global health aid.
My dear friend, Rep. Danny Davis, has left an incredible mark on the City of Chicago, Congress, and our entire country. Your decades of service, leadership, and dedication are an inspiration. From community events to trips around the world, serving with you has been an honor. I love you, Danny!
Happy #NationalInternDay to one of the BEST groups of interns Congress has ever seen! 💼✨ Their hard work, high-energy, and commitment never failed to put a smile on my face. Thanks for your service to the 9th Congressional District. You’ll always be a part of Team Schakowsky!
Every worker deserves dignity, respect, and fair treatment, no matter their title or position. As a dues-paying union member, I stand with the @teamsters.bsky.social workers in Illinois, and across the country, who are demanding fair pay, strong benefits, and real protection.
Medicare and Medicaid were founded 60 years ago today, dramatically expanding access to health care. Now, Trump and Republicans are moving us backwards, slashing coverage and booting millions from their lifesaving care. The fight isn't over. We must speak out and organize.
I guess the extreme heat, droughts, and wildfires aren't enough evidence for the Trump Administration that climate change is real. Overturning the EPA’s ability to limit greenhouse gas pollution will not only harm public health, but will accelerate climate change. #ClimateChaos
NEW: EPA to revoke 2009 finding that climate pollution endangers humans.
Trump promised to lower costs, but we've seen the exact opposite. Greedy corporations are using the failures of the Trump Administration to gouge Americans on everything from groceries to consumer goods. I have a bill to hold these bad actors accountable.
Since Roe was overturned, women have been increasingly criminalized for getting the reproductive care they need.    A recent ruling from a Texas District Court directly threatens patients' reproductive privacy.    @degette.house.gov, @sarajacobs.house.gov, and I are demanding answers.
Becoming a franchisee can be a lifeline for those looking to create their own American dream. @rephuffman.bsky.social, @hankjohnson.house.gov, and I just introduced legislation to give small business owners a real path to justice and relief when the Franchise Rule is violated.
For 60 years, the Senior Community Service Employment Program has helped seniors find work, make a living, and serve their communities. The Trump Administration just terminated it, ripping away yet another critical program from America's seniors. This is cruelty by design.
The Department of Labor has quietly ended its only nationwide job training program for low-income seniors just as tens of thousands must meet new work requirements for Medicaid and food assistance. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-...
All aboard! Next stop, a modernized @chicagocta.bsky.social. The grand opening of the Argyle, Berwyn, Bryn Mawr, and Lawrence rail stations will make our transit system more accessible and will keep our communities connected. Thanks to all the federal and local partners who made this possible.
Welcome back, Commissioner Slaughter! President Trump illegally tried to undermine the Federal Trade Commission, an independent agency, and he lost! I'm looking forward to your continued work fighting for people’s privacy, holding Big Tech accountable, and lowering costs for hardworking Americans.
A federal judge has restored Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter to her role at the FTC after ruling that Trump’s attempt to fire the Dem appointee in March was illegal.
Elmo teaches kids to lead with kindness and stand up to bullies, lessons some of my GOP colleagues could learn. Not only do public TV stations play a critical role in educating our kids, but they also connect our communities.    I urge my colleagues to vote NO on defunding public broadcasting!
