Republicans are putting auto industry profits over Americans’ lives. Rolling back proven safety rules is reckless and deadly. For my entire career, I’ve stood with safety advocates and heard their firsthand accounts. I refuse to let extremists eliminate lifesaving protections.
Exclusive: Republicans plan to challenge vehicle-safety mandates, such as automatic emergency braking and alarms that remind drivers a child is in the back seat.
Refugees fleeing violence deserve safety, not political attacks. They contribute to our economy, our communities, and our culture. Diversity is our strength, and refugees help make this nation great. We must reject this cruelty and choose compassion over fear.
The Trump administration is moving to reinterview certain refugees who were admitted to the United States under former President Joe Biden as part of a comprehensive review of their cases, according to an internal memo and a source familiar with the plans.
This year’s Trouble in Toyland report from Illinois PIRG makes one thing clear: too many dangerous toys are still reaching our kids. It was powerful hearing a firsthand account from Taylor Bethard, a young mom whose daughter died after ingesting a dangerous water bead.
For years, I’ve fought for safer cars, and this is a real win: female crash-test dummies are finally becoming standard.   This victory belongs to the organizing, the science, and everyone who never gave up.   It’s a long-overdue step toward ensuring our safety standards reflect all Americans.
The U.S. government has released a new crash test dummy design that advocates believe will help make cars safer for women.
Today we remember the trans lives lost, and we uplift the strength and resilience of the trans community. We must recommit to creating a world where every trans person can live safely and proudly. I will always keep fighting alongside you. #TransDayOfRemembrance
As a dues-paying @unitehere.org member, I know unions aren’t just important, they’re essential. Unions lift people out of poverty, raise workplace standards, & give workers the voice they deserve. It was great to welcome @gwenmillsuh.bsky.social to our @laborcaucus.house.gov meeting. #UnionStrong
I will always fight to make sure our veterans have the health care, resources, and dignity they deserve. If you or a veteran you know is in need of support, call my office at (773) 506-7100
Today, on Veterans Day, I want to speak directly to the incredible men and women who have served our country: I see you, I honor you, and I am deeply grateful for your service to our country. Veterans are a part of our community, and we owe them not just our gratitude, but our action.
I’ve been clear from the start: I refuse to turn my back on the millions of Americans who are already seeing their health premiums skyrocket. Health care must be a priority. That’s why I’m voting NO on the continuing resolution.
She is as good at chess as she is at poker and will go down in history as the most effective speaker in the history of our nation. @pelosi.house.gov, thank you for your tireless work for the people.
Generations of Americans are better off because of the progressive leadership of my treasured friend Nancy Pelosi. Speaker Emerita Pelosi is a brilliant strategist and has demonstrated over and over again her astounding ability to successfully navigate the most complex negotiations.
Breaking News: Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the only female House speaker, said she would retire in 2027, ending a run as one of the most powerful women in U.S. politics. nyti.ms/3XkTV49
Every person, regardless of immigration status, deserves to live with dignity and without fear. Now, more than ever, we must speak up, stand up, and defend our shared values of compassion, justice, and solidarity. We are a nation of immigrants. Together, we will not back down.
Thousands of neighbors came together for an Emergency Food Drive in Evanston this weekend to support families in need. In times of uncertainty, it is inspiring to see so many people join hands to lift up our community and make sure no one goes hungry.
