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Supplemental Security Income is a lifeline for millions of low-income individuals, and outdated rules shouldn't stand in the way of much-needed benefits.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.
Community Project Funding applications are now open! If you're a local government or eligible non-profit in IL-9, submit your proposal by March 8th at 11:59 PM (CT). Let’s invest in projects that strengthen our communities.
Communities across the country are dealing with floods, fires, and other extreme weather events. Climate change is real. We need bold action to create clean energy jobs and protect our planet. I’ll always defend the environment and was proud to earn a 100% rating from @lcv.org.
Americans deserve more than rhetoric. They deserve action to lower prescription drug prices, protect earned benefits, defend fundamental rights, & build an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy & well connected. Let's keep up the fight!
The American people deserve the truth. Instead, tonight, they heard lies from President Trump. While families struggle with rising costs for housing, health care, and groceries, billionaires continue to reap record profits. I'll continue fighting for dignity and opportunity for every family. #SOTU
