America’s nurses are sounding the alarm🚨!
Hospitals can’t deliver quality care when nurses are stretched too thin. I have legislation to set safe staffing ratios, protect nurses who speak up, and improve patient care.
It’s time to support our nurses and put patients over profits!
Nearly 15,000 nurses went on strike at several key New York City hospitals.
Nurses went on strike because management refused to agree to safe staffing levels for patients and has threatened to discontinue or cut nurses’ health benefits, the union said.

I've reintroduced legislation to end Medicaid Estate Recovery—a cruel, hidden policy that demands the repayment of long-term care benefits after a loved one dies.
It recovers less than 1% of costs while causing immense harm.
This unjust policy must end.
My treasured friend @hoyer.house.gov has spent decades putting country over politics and democracy over self.
As we both leave Congress, one of my fondest memories will always be his leadership, his advice, and his friendship. I’m honored to have served with him.
Thank you, Steny.
Public health guidance should be based on evidence, not RFK Jr. pseudoscience.
The new dietary guidelines from the Trump administration push dangerous misinformation, including labeling beef tallow a healthy fat.
HHS and USDA must reverse course before heart disease rates climb.
New US food pyramid recommends very high protein diet, beef tallow as healthy fat option, and full-fat dairy www.livescience.com/health/food-...
Today, an ICE agent killed someone who was protesting ICE's reckless abuse of power.
This is horrific and cannot be ignored. There must be accountability, now.
January 6 was a violent attack on the heart of our democracy that was incited by Trump and enabled by Republican leaders.
Five years later, Speaker Johnson and the GOP still excuse the lies and violence that fueled it.
We won't forget. We won't be silent. And we won't let them rewrite history.
I strongly condemn Trump’s unilateral strikes and regime-change efforts in Venezuela, which was carried out without Congress and in violation of international law.
Simply put, this is about oil and enriching himself and his billionaire donors. The American people don’t want another war for oil.
Happy New Year! 🎉🎊🎆
As we enter 2026, I’m grateful for the strength of our community and hopeful for what we can achieve together.
I’ll never stop fighting for families and a more just future.
Merry Christmas to everyone in the 9th District and beyond!
May this season bring happiness, peace, and hope to you and your loved ones. 🎄⭐️🎅
I’m ending Hanukkah feeling grateful and hopeful.
Gathering this weekend at my son’s Hanukkah party was a beautiful reminder that community and love can carry us through even the hardest moments.
May that light guide us forward.
Please go to my website for more info or call my office if you need assistance.
This inhumanity is unacceptable, and we will continue to defend the dignity of every person in our community.
To all those in the 9th District, and across the Chicago area, it’s crucial that you KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
Yet again, we are seeing reports of U.S. Border Control agents terrorizing community members in the 9th District. I’m disgusted and outraged.
My team and I are monitoring developments closely and working with local partners to protect our neighbors.
I’ve never backed down from a fight with powerful corporations, and I won’t start now.
There’s a reason attempts to block state AI protections keep failing in Congress: they’re unpopular, undemocratic, and dangerous.
Now the same Big Tech billionaires who stood behind Donald Trump at his inauguration are abusing executive power to get their way.
I recently spoke with three mothers who lost a child due to Big Tech’s negligence. For over a decade, they’ve demanded action, and Congress hasn’t delivered.
Congress should not stop states from protecting children.
Families have already paid the ultimate price. Congress must not fail them again.
