Today, I'm standing with the Lung Association and countless advocates raising awareness for lung cancer. We need robust federal funding to drive prevention, early detection, and life-saving treatments, and to support all those impacted by this disease. We are in this fight together!
As costs soar from Trump’s illegal war with Iran, any attempt by big corporations to jack up prices is unacceptable. We must crack down on price gouging and protect consumers. I’m backing @warren.senate.gov's push to hold bad actors accountable.
As Iran war causes gas and airfares to spike, lawmakers warn of price gouging — but experts point to supply shocks
Health care is not a privilege, it’s a right. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, seniors pay less for prescription drugs, young people can stay on their parents' health plan, and insurance companies can't deny you coverage for pre-existing conditions.
The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.
Trump’s endless war with Iran is driving up costs for Americans. We can lower prices by moving to clean, affordable energy. This bill from @casten.house.gov & @levin.house.gov promotes renewable energy, cracks down on market manipulation, & includes key parts of my Energy Consumer Protection Act.
The bad news is that clock is ticking to tackle rising energy costs and the climate crisis. The good news is that the solution is here. Expanded access to low-cost, reliable energy is good for our planet and good for your wallet. I introduced the Energy Bills Relief Act to do just that.
There are no words for a loss like this. Sheridan Gorman was just 18 years old, with her whole life ahead of her. My heart is with her family, her friends, and every member of the Loyola community mourning this senseless tragedy.
Today, we honor firefighter Mike Altman, who lost his life after being critically injured in the line of duty. He ran toward danger to keep others safe, a true hero. I'm sending love and strength to Mike's loved ones and the entire Chicago Fire Department.
The retirement of Greg Bovino does not erase the consequences of his actions. Accountability is not optional, it is necessary. We owe it to our communities and to justice.
Top Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino, who led controversial immigration sweeps in Democratic-led cities, has told people he plans to retire at the end of the month, according to two sources familiar with the discussions. https://cnn.it/4ryo8JW
Mifepristone is safe, effective, and trusted by millions. Republicans want to ban it anyway. Their assault on reproductive freedom puts lives at risk. These decisions should be made by patients and their doctors, not politicians. We must keep fighting to protect abortion care.
Trump and Republicans want to make it harder to vote. Instead of advancing harmful, restrictive barriers that silence Americans at the ballot box, we should be expanding early voting, protecting vote-by-mail, and making sure every eligible voter can be heard.
Supplemental Security Income is a lifeline for millions of low-income individuals, and outdated rules shouldn't stand in the way of much-needed benefits. That’s why @warren.senate.gov, Rep. Grijalva, Del. Moylan, & I introduced legislation to strengthen SSI and ensure no beneficiary is left behind.
Chicagoans experienced Kristi Noem’s cruelty firsthand as Trump’s ICE targeted immigrant communities with fear and chaos instead of real solutions. I'm glad to see her go, but her firing doesn't erase the harm caused. We need an immigration system rooted in dignity, not cruelty.
Let’s be clear: Medicare Advantage is not Medicare. Medicare Advantage is private insurance that too often denies medically necessary care, restricts providers, and overcharges taxpayers by billions. Seniors deserve transparency and access to the full benefits they've earned.
We don't allow banks to call themselves the U.S. Treasury Investment Fund. We don't allow anyone to call themselves USPS Plus. So why allow insurance companies to call private insurance Medicare Advantage? (1/2)
This Pulaski Day, we celebrate the generations of Polish Americans who help power Illinois as workers, small business owners, educators, advocates, and neighbors.   Our diversity is our strength, and I’m proud to stand with our vibrant Polish community today and every day.
Please head to my website to apply and for more information. I look forward to reviewing submissions. Should you have any technical or eligibility questions, please contact my Skokie office at (773) 506-7100.
