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.

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!

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.

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)
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.

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.

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.
