People with disabilities should never be forced to choose between the support of their families and the benefits they need to survive.
Supplemental Security Income is a lifeline, not something to be chipped away at. We must strengthen it.

This May Day, I stand with workers building a more just economy where everyone has a voice.
As a dues-paying union member, I know firsthand the power of collective action.
We must strengthen the right to organize and bargain so all can thrive. Workers deserve nothing less.
The US still lacks a comprehensive long-term care plan. That must change.
@debbiedingell.house.gov and I introduced a bill to expand home care, strengthen the care workforce, and help millions of seniors and people with disabilities live independently with dignity.
For years, Big Pharma has ripped off Americans, forcing them to pay tens of thousands of dollars per year for their lifesaving prescription drugs.
@usprogressives.bsky.social have a plan to ensure prescription drugs are affordable and accessible for patients.
This is a blow to democratic representation and will harm millions of underrepresented voters nationwide.
Congress must act to restore and strengthen these protections because our votes are our power and we will fight to protect them.
Today’s ruling guts one of the most important civil rights laws in our nation’s history. The Voting Rights Act was created to ensure minority communities have a voice and are fairly represented in our democracy.
Nurses at Rush Medical Center are organizing for safer staffing standards, stronger workplace protections, and a real voice to protect patient care.
I stand with them and urge Rush to respect their rights and engage in good faith.
Supporting nurses strengthens patient care.
This is unacceptable, and I will oppose this legislation until we return to the strong bipartisan bill I led just two years ago. The American people deserve better.
Their bill preempts state privacy laws, eliminates the right of individuals to sue over data abuses, and hands every violator a guaranteed get-out-of-jail-free card before any enforcement can even begin.
Instead of a real data privacy bill, the Republicans have opted for legislation which is nothing more than a giveaway to their big tech donors.
The future is green, and we are not backing down.
This Earth Day, we are pushing for real climate action, not empty promises.
The science is clear. The urgency is real. Time to act.
Families are feeling the pressure of high energy costs every day, while energy companies continue to rake in profits.
That’s why @casten.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov, and I reintroduced legislation to hold bad actors accountable for rigging markets and raising prices.
Workers deserve better than what we've seen. The Labor Department should fight for working families, not fuel controversy.
Republicans must stop standing in the way and start protecting unions, enforcing workplace protections, and cracking down on corporate abuse.
We served together in the General Assembly, and I always valued her wisdom, her clarity, and her unwavering commitment to doing what was right. She was someone I could always count on, and I will miss her greatly.
Sending my love to her family and loved ones. May her memory be a blessing.
My heart aches over the passing of my dear friend and former colleague Barbara Flynn Currie, a pioneering leader and the first woman Majority Leader in the Illinois House.
‘Do not call’ means do not call. Period. But illegitimate and intrusive robocalls are only getting worse.
Our bill empowers victims to hold scammers accountable after just one illegal call.
We need strong, pro-consumer guardrails now.
Every year, thousands of people in the U.S. are newly diagnosed with ALS.
Thanks to my friends, Brian and Sandra, for speaking about the importance of reauthorizing the ACT for ALS bill!
This legislation will fund ALS research so people can access life-saving treatments. Let's get it done!
Now Congress must finish the job and restore fairness for fans.
A jury just confirmed what fans already knew: Live Nation and Ticketmaster abused their power and stuck consumers with an unfair ticketing system.
My bipartisan TICKET Act would require all-in pricing, ban speculative ticketing, crack down on deceptive resale practices, and protect refunds.
On Yom HaShoah, we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and honor the resilience of the survivors.
As antisemitism rises around the world, we must speak out, educate, and stand united against hate in all its forms.
Never again. Never forget.
