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.

What are they hiding? Speaker Johnson had no problem keeping the House in session to jam through the Big Ugly Bill. Apparently the only thing House Republicans love more than ripping health care away from 17 million Americans is shielding pedophiles from justice.

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.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill is a direct threat to working families. In Illinois alone, Affordable Care Act recipients will see their premiums go up by 27%. This is an attack on affordable care - plain and simple.

Some enrollees could be hit with increases of more than 20% because of federal changes and higher health expenses.

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.

More than 10,000 chemicals are used to make beauty and personal care products. We owe it to consumers to ensure the beauty and personal care products they use daily are safe. My Safer Beauty Bill package will usher in an era of safer beauty for all.

Here's Why Lawmakers Are Trying To Get Certain Chemicals Out Of Your Beauty Products

This is what you need to know.

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!

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govJul 17(source)

The only thing Elmo hates more than Rocco is the GOP's proposal to cut public broadcast funding.

I’m partnering with @jayapal.house.gov and @raskin.house.gov on the Children’s Fundamental Rights to Life and a Stable Climate System Resolution.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govJul 16(source)

Climate change is real, and as this crisis grows, our kids are increasingly paying the price. We as leaders have a duty to ensure that all people, especially our young people, are protected from the existential threat of climate change.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govJul 14(source)

I'm grateful to groups like Age Options, who continue to stand strong in this fight and serve older Americans on the frontlines in our communities.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govJul 14(source)

We can’t recognize today’s anniversary without acknowledging that just days ago, the GOP voted to slash health care for 17 million Americans, including seniors, to give tax cuts to billionaires.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govJul 14(source)

Today, we mark 60 years of the Older Americans Act. Older Americans have earned the right to retire with dignity and respect, and deserve high-quality health care.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govJul 14(source)

The GOP-passed Big Ugly Bill defunds Planned Parenthood, restricting access to cancer screenings, prenatal and postpartum care, and so much more. A judge temporarily blocked this part of the bill, but the fight is far from over. Every person deserves access to health care.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govJul 10(source)

Consumers deserve to know that the foods they're eating are safe, but right now, thousands of harmful chemicals in our foods are going unchecked. We must put the ‘F’ back in the FDA. That's why @delauro.house.gov and I are introducing a bill to get toxic chemicals out of our foods.

This is a shameful abuse of a historically independent agency devoted to creating a fairer, more honest, and more competitive economy for all.

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

Donald Trump promised to lower costs and protect consumers. Instead, his FTC - the agency which should be taking the lead in lowering costs - is waging right-wing culture wars while grocery and housing prices continue to rise.

I’m sending love and light to all those impacted by the devastating floods in Texas. To the families and friends of those who’ve lost their lives or are still missing, please know that we’re thinking about you. Thanks to the brave first responders who are working around the clock to save lives.
