Gun violence is a public health epidemic and I’m done accepting moments of silence instead of action.
We need universal background checks, a ban on assault weapons, safe storage laws, and real accountability for gun manufacturers.
Lives are worth more than NRA donations. #SOTU

Everyone deserves to live openly and honestly.
I will always stand with the LGBTQ+ community and fight back against discrimination in any form. #SOTU
Voting rights are under attack.
Courts are being politicized and the rule of law is under fire.
We must fight back to protect our elections, defend our democracy, and make sure every voice is heard. We can and we must win. #SOTU
Illinois is stronger because of our immigrant communities.
From small businesses to essential workers, immigrants are part of who we are.
They deserve dignity, protection, and a pathway to citizenship. Fear and militarization are not solutions. #SOTU
Republicans in Congress want to gut Social Security and Medicare to bankroll tax breaks for billionaires.
I’ll continue fighting every day to block cuts, stop privatization, and defend these hard-earned benefits.
Social Security and Medicare are vital programs and we must keep them strong. #SOTU
Trump & Republicans refused to extend the ACA premium tax credits - forcing 24 million Americans to face higher premiums.
Families across the country now have to choose between keeping their coverage or paying higher costs.
THIS is Trump's health care plan: make you pay more, cover less. #SOTU
Let’s be clear: Trump’s tariffs are illegal.
We knew it and the Supreme Court agreed.
Working families should never pay the price for corruption and greed. We will keep fighting. #SOTU
Tax the rich! #SOTU
When someone serves this country, we owe them more than words.
We owe them health care, benefits, and support they can count on. #SOTU
I hear the same thing from families all across my district.
Costs are too high and paychecks are not stretching far enough.
Working families should not be squeezed while billionaires get tax breaks. #SOTU
I’m not attending tonight’s State of the Union.
I can’t sit there and pretend everything is fine while our rights are under attack and working families are struggling.
This isn’t normal. We should not treat it like it is. #SOTU
I was honored to join the Chinese Mutual Aid Association and @durbin.senate.gov to celebrate Lunar New Year!
These are tough times, but our communities continue to show incredible strength and resilience.
I'm grateful for our continued partnership and work to uplift immigrant and refugee families.
Big win for American families: the Supreme Court just struck down Trump’s harmful tariffs.
Hardworking people shouldn’t shoulder the cost of bad policy.
One of the best parts of my job is delivering funds to the 9th District.
I secured $1 million to strengthen water infrastructure in Lake County, improving water quality and reducing the risk of service disruptions for families and businesses.
Wishing a joyful and prosperous Lunar New Year to all who celebrate!
May the Year of the Horse bring renewed energy, opportunity, and hope.
Here’s to a new year filled with good health, happiness, and continued progress toward a more inclusive and equitable future for all.
I was honored to work alongside him for many years and witness firsthand his unwavering commitment to justice.
My heart is with the entire Jackson family and all who loved him. May we honor his extraordinary life by carrying forward the fight for justice he so fiercely believed in.
My dear friend Rev. Jesse Jackson devoted his life to fighting for dignity, equality, and opportunity for all. From his transformative organizing and advocacy in Chicago to his leadership on the national stage, his courage and conviction inspired millions and strengthened the civil rights movement.
This week I greeted the 19 monks who walked over 100 days and 2,300 miles to bring a message of peace to the Capitol.
Their journey is a powerful reminder that in tough times we all must do everything we can to lead with compassion, stand up for justice, and never stay silent in the face of wrong.
Another attempt to erase history.
Let’s be clear: the murder of 1.5 million Armenians was genocide.
We must never forget. I will continue to call it what it is and stand with the Armenian people.
Many processed foods like cereal & chips contain BHA, a preservative linked to cancer risk & other health concerns.
The FDA is finally taking a closer look, something my Food Chemical Reassessment Act has pushed for years.
We must put the ‘F’ back in the FDA & reign in this dangerous chemical.
