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.
I lead this bill at the federal level and urge all my colleagues to support this critical piece of legislation.
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."
@strickland.house.gov, @robinkelly.house.gov, and I are leading the charge to demand Secretary Kennedy immediately reinstate these workers.
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
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.
Republicans in Congress voted to gut access to lifesaving health care.
Planned Parenthood not only provides women with reproductive care, but also breast exams, vaccines, and so much more.
This ruling is good news, but the fight is far from over.
Release the files.
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.
