When undocumented individuals pay taxes, they are paying into a system without becoming eligible for benefits. Our economy is stronger thanks to their contributions. The privacy of all tax returns is protected by federal law. We won't allow Trump and his cronies to weaponize the IRS.

It got understandably buried w/ Zelensky news, but thought our story ysd was pretty big - Trump DHS pushing for the IRS to produce taxpayer info to assist w/ deportations IRS officials pointing to law saying taxpayer data can only be used for tax purposes www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Supporting President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people isn’t just about their fight for sovereignty, but part of a broader fight for freedom and democracy in Europe and around the world. In the US, we stand for democracy. Today, Donald Trump chose to side with dictators.

A meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy grew contentious, with Trump telling Zelenskyy that "you're not acting at all thankful" for U.S. support.
Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govFeb 27(source)
I'm introducing the Social Security Expansion Act with @repvalhoyle.bsky.social, @sanders.senate.gov, & @warren.senate.gov. Our bill extends the trust fund’s solvency for 75 years & expands benefits by $2,400 a year. All Americans deserve to retire with security & dignity after a lifetime of work.
Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govFeb 26(source)
Trump and his puppet master Musk went rogue and illegally froze billions of dollars of congressionally allocated funds, leaving many agencies and organizations scrambling. Even after this was overruled in court, nearly $1.9 billion remains unaccounted for. The people of Illinois demand answers.

I’m demanding answers, alongside members of the Illinois federal delegation, from the Trump administration for ignoring court orders to release almost $1.88 billion in federal funding for our state. If they can't hold their end of the deal, Illinoisans deserve to know.

Constituents have been calling me all day to share how important Medicaid is to them and their families. Whether it helps pay for their caregiver or their medication, Medicaid is a lifesaver. To my GOP colleagues, I know you're getting these calls too. Health care is more important than tax cuts.
Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govFeb 25(source)
Gutting NHTSA is a death sentence for countless Americans. Over 100 Americans will die today due to car crashes, and 5 million others will face life-changing injuries this year on our roads. Musk cares more about enriching himself than keeping our roads safe. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
DOGE employee cuts fall heavily on agency that regulates Musk’s Tesla
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will lose between 70 and 80 people, split roughly evenly between firings of probationary employees and buyouts, according to people briefed on the st...
Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govFeb 24(source)
Today's vote at the UN is contrary to everything we stand for as a nation. For three years, the Ukrainian people have held strong in their resolve and bravely pushed back on the Kremlin’s attempts to capture their territory. We must stand with Ukraine and stand for democracy and freedom worldwide.
Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govFeb 21(source)
To all the caregivers – your love, compassion, and tireless work doesn’t go unnoticed!   We have a president who would rather enrich his billionaire friends than give you the support you need. On #NationalCaregiversDay, I reaffirm my commitment to you and vow to stand against any cuts to Medicaid.
Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govFeb 21(source)
Trump promised to “Make America Healthy Again.” How is that supposed to happen if he’s firing staff at the FDA who work to ensure the chemicals in our food are safe to eat? Trump and Musk are putting American lives at risk to fund billionaire tax cuts. apnews.com/article/fda-...
Trump administration cuts reach FDA employees in food safety, medical devices and tobacco products
The Trump administration’s effort to slash the size of the federal workforce reached the Food and Drug Administration this weekend.

Our bill requires all event ticket sellers to display the total ticket price—including all required fees—upfront, provide refunds for canceled or postponed events, and protect consumers from deceptive ticketing websites. Consumers deserve to be protected. schakowsky.house.gov/media/press-...
Schakowsky, Bilirakis Reintroduce Legislation to Increase Ticket Transparency
WASHINGTON - Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade Subcommittee Ranking Member Jan Schakowsky (IL-09) and Chairman Gus Bilirakis (FL-12) re-introduced the TICKET Act, bipartisan legislation to improve tr...

With every ticketing debacle, from Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour to Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour, fans' frustration grows. Rep. Gus Bilirakis and I just reintroduced our bipartisan bill to improve transparency in the entertainment industry.
Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govFeb 20(source)
Trump is directing the Army Corps to greenlight projects like the Line 5 pipeline, allowing them to skip the permitting process despite the proven danger it poses to Lake Michigan. Trump would rather enrich Big Oil execs than protect our water. Not on my watch. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...
Trump's Army Corps seeks to fast-track 600 "emergency" projects through environmental review
The Army Corps of Engineers has identified over 600 energy and other infrastructure projects that could be fast-tracked under President Donald Trump's National Energy Emergency declaration, according to data posted on its website.
Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govFeb 20(source)
Trump's order to suspend funding for resettlement agencies directly harms families in the 9th District. RefugeeOne works tirelessly to help individuals who have fled violence and war become independent and self-supporting members of our community.
Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govFeb 19(source)
Trump last night: No cuts to Medicaid Trump this morning: Supports House GOP's budget with over $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. Don't be fooled by Trump's lies. He wants tax cuts for billionaires funded by cuts to the lifesaving programs that working families rely on.

🚨 Trump endorses House GOP budget resolution and takes a swipe at Graham's Senate plan After two months, Trump weighs in firmly on the intra-party clash, insisting Congress pass his agenda in 1 bill... One day after Senate voted to begin a 2-bill strategy. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

I know Valentine’s Day is supposed to be about love letters, but @rephuffman.bsky.social , @raskin.house.gov, and I had a different idea. We just led 42 of our colleagues in a letter to President Trump demanding that he support our public schools and oppose school voucher programs.
