The Voting Rights Act passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in 1965—and was reauthorized unanimously by Republicans and Democrats in 2006.
But oh, how times have changed.
Every Democrat supports the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
Republicans have a choice: our democracy or Trump.

Anyone who's been paying attention could see this coming.
The liar lied, again.

One passenger said it took 10-15 minutes for everyone to deplane in Denver.
That's much, much longer than the FAA's 90 second emergency standard.
Our bipartisan law required the FAA to study improvements to its standard to keep flyers safe.
I'm demanding answers. www.cbsnews.com/news/tammy-d...
No one should be suspended or fired just for exercising their First Amendment right to speak out.
I’m joining my colleagues in calling for these EPA employees to be reinstated immediately so they can keep doing the good work our country depends on.
NEWS: @murray.senate.gov, @booker.senate.gov, @schumer.senate.gov and I reintroduced our bill to help Veterans access IVF and other tools they need to build a family.
It's the least we can do for our heroes—
And if Trump really is pro-IVF and pro-Veteran, he'll call on Republicans to support it.
In this country, voters should choose who leads them in Congress. Not the other way around.
That's the difference between American democracy and a dictatorship.
Illinois has your back in this fight, Texas Dems.
Trump never had a plan to cover IVF.
Meanwhile, Senate Republicans blocked our bill to get it done not once—but twice.
They want America to have more babies but are doing *nothing* to help families afford that dream.
It was all lies the “Father of IVF” sold to get elected.
The numbers don’t lie.
Trump is sabotaging our economy—
And is ready to fire anyone who doesn’t tell you otherwise.
This is what dictators do.
What good is an Environmental Protection Agency without its power to *protect* our public health?
The Trump Administration is putting polluters over our children's future. apnews.com/article/trum...
How much longer are people waiting to get help with their Social Security?
How many extra days, weeks or months are Veterans waiting to receive care?
Trump pushing over 154,000 people out of the federal workforce means more delays—
And he's making you foot the bill.
Danny Davis has worked for decades to improve the lives of Illinoisans. His years of progressive leadership have been such an inspiration for Chicagoans and beyond—his voice will be missed in Washington.
Congratulations my friend on an impressive career of service.
My votes tonight reflect my deep frustration with the Netanyahu government’s abject failure to address humanitarian needs in Gaza and send a message to the Trump Administration that it must change course if it wants to help end this devastating war.
Ending this famine is not only a moral imperative, it is also in the best interests of both Israel’s and our own country’s long-term national security.
While I have always supported Israel’s right to defend itself and protect the Israeli people, these dire circumstances must end.
Israel’s unacceptable choice to restrict humanitarian and food aid from entering Gaza—for months—is now causing innocent civilians, including young children, to starve to death.
I’ve long pressed the Netanyahu Administration in public and private to take substantive steps to alleviate the suffering of innocent civilians.
But conditions on the ground are getting worse, not better.
Tonight, I voted in favor of blocking the Trump Administration from sending more weapons to Israel.
Enough is enough.
The SNAP cuts in Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill hit the very rural communities he promised to protect—killing jobs, closing grocery stores and leaving less food on the table.
This is not what America wanted.
Medicaid has been a lifeline for 60 years.
For new moms. Seniors. People with disabilities. Everyone.
Trump and Republicans enacted the largest Medicaid cuts in history—
Stealing health care from those most in need to give tax cuts to the richest of the rich.
Shame on them.
In Chicago, we've seen a double-digit percentage drop in gun violence this year.
If we want to keep up this trend in our cities, we should be investing more in prevention programs—not less.
But Trump would rather make our streets less safe.
