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.

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.

Five years ago today, the United States Capitol was attacked in a violent insurrection incited by the President of the United States for one purpose: to overturn a free and fair election and cling to power in clear violation of the Constitution.

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.

Let’s be clear, today’s deadline was not a suggestion. The Epstein files must be released immediately. Not tomorrow, not a month from now, not when Trump and his cronies think it’s time.

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.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govDec 17(source)

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.

U.S. Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino led a caravan of SUVs through Chicago and into the suburbs Wednesday morning, making at least one arrest in Evanston after a surprise return to the city a day earlier.

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.

President Trump signed an executive order that aims to neuter state laws that limit the A.I. industry, granting broad authority to the attorney general to sue states that do not support the "United States’ global A.I. dominance." nyti.ms/44oIXPn

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govDec 11(source)

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.

Immigrants are our friends and neighbors, and we will continue fighting the illegal actions of this out-of-control administration.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govDec 9(source)

Everyone, regardless of their immigration status, deserves to live with dignity and without fear. I'm proud of my community and @govpritzker.illinois.gov for speaking up, standing up, and defending our core American values of equality, justice, and the rule of law.

Today, I've signed into law legislation that expands legal protections for the people of Illinois. Dropping your kid off at day care, going to the doctor, or attending classes should not be a life-altering task. We will counter the Trump Administration's depravity.

Governor JB Pritzker joined bill sponsors, officials, and community advocates in Chicago’s Little Village to sign HB 1312. This pivotal legislation enshrines protections for immigrant families in Illinois in the wake of the Trump Administration’s lawless and aggressive immigration enforcement actions.

Let’s be clear — removing minimum staffing standards rewards the nursing home industry and threatens residents’ lives. We must hold these greedy actors accountable and restore strong staffing standards that put patients first. Our loved ones deserve access to quality long-term care.

HHS Officially Rescinds Nursing Home Minimum Staffing Rule

Nursing home providers praised the move, while one patient group called it 'very disappointing'

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govDec 4(source)

The Trump Administration's decision to roll back CAFE standards will squeeze our wallets, endanger our health, and increase climate pollution. Republicans are handing a win to Big Oil and getting in the way of innovation. We will not stop fighting for a clean energy economy!

Signed into law in 1975, the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards regulate how far vehicles must travel on a gallon of fuel.

The U.S. and our allies must use every diplomatic tool to stop this hate-fueled campaign.
