Juan López was a leader in Honduras who was assassinated after years of working to protect the environment and opposing corruption at the highest levels. Now, 11 months after his death, it's imperative that the preliminary hearing move forward to advance justice for Juan, and all of Honduras.
Marriage equality is a constitutional right, period. President Biden's Respect for Marriage Act ensures federal recognition of LGBTQ+ and interracial marriages nationwide. We must stay loud, united, and ready to fight back against any extremist attempt to take away our rights.
Jim Lovell turned tragedy into triumph, guiding Apollo 13 home against all odds. A true American hero who showed us what courage looks like in a crisis. We need that spirit now more than ever. I’m grateful Jim shared his passion for space with the Adler Planetarium. May his memory shine bright.
Famed NASA astronaut Jim Lovell, who commanded the harrowing Apollo 13 mission in 1970, has died cnn.it/40SWf4U
Make no mistake, immigrants make our country great! Congratulations to the 977 new U.S. citizens, coming from 109 different countries! It was an honor to be part of such a special day and Naturalization Ceremony.
On Assyrian Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the victims of the 1933 Simele Massacre and all those who have suffered persecution. We’re so fortunate to have such a large Assyrian American presence in the 9th District. Today, and every day, we stand in solidarity with the Assyrian community.
Terminating union contracts at the VA is union-busting, plain and simple. This reckless power grab is a betrayal of the very people who care for our veterans and keep them safe. Our veterans and their caregivers deserve better. The VA must immediately reverse this decision.
Care infrastructure is infrastructure! I joined @durbin.senate.gov and Endeavor Health for the opening of the Oakton College Health Careers Education Center. This state-of-the-art facility will train the next generation of health workers and is a vital step toward expanding access to care.
Instead of lowering energy costs and creating good-paying jobs, Trump would rather ignore science and cozy up to the fossil fuel industry. We're running out of time to prevent the worst effects of climate change. Future generations are counting on us.
Breaking News: The Trump administration is preparing to terminate $7 billion in federal grants intended to help low- and moderate-income families install solar panels on their homes, according to people briefed on the matter.
It's incredibly courageous for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault to make their voices heard. When survivors do come forward, they deserve sensitive, respectful, and diligent care. I applaud @govpritzker.illinois.gov for enacting "Anna's Law."
Trump’s reckless decision to fire hundreds of Administration for Community Living employees means lifesaving services like Meals on Wheels and caregiving support are at risk for countless seniors and people with disabilities.
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.
