I’m still demanding full transparency on the Epstein files.  Piecemeal leaks are not enough. Survivors deserve answers and accountability.   Americans deserve to know who enabled this abuse so that we ensure it never happens again.
Unsecured guns in the home harm too many kids.    @bradyunited.org ASK Day calls on all of us to ask one direct question before a child visits another home: Is there an unlocked gun in your home?    Just one question can prevent loss.
Wishing all fathers, grandfathers, and father figures a joyful day with those they love. Thank you for all that you do. Today, I’m remembering my late father, Jesse Kelly, and my late husband, Nate Horn. Their love helped shape our family, and their memories stay with us every day.
We rely on the Great Lakes everyday. Nearly 20% of the nation’s fresh water comes from Lake Michigan. Clean water, safe air, and a healthy environment aren’t optional. I will keep advocating to protect them for our future.
Young adults thrive when they have safe spaces, mentors, and real opportunities. I am continuing to invest in youth programs that strengthen our community, giving our kids hands-on skills and equipping the next generation of leaders.
Trump says there’s no money for healthcare, but he found billions for a war no one wants. While Americans are worried about paying bills, affording healthcare, and keeping their families safe, Trump is busy attacking President Obama. How pathetic.
Innovation shouldn't come at the cost of basic safety. My SAFE Exit Act recently cleared the @energycommerce.bsky.social to set the first federal safety standard for EV doors, ensuring passengers can always escape in an emergency or power loss.
@foushee.house.gov and I introduced the Second Chance Mental Health Access Act to expand mental health services for people transitioning from incarceration back into the community. These services would lower recidivism and strengthen our communities.
On #Juneteenth, I reflect on the ongoing fight for true equality. We cannot separate the fight for racial justice from the fight to police brutality, which disproportionately impacts Black people. We must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
On #Juneteenth, we remember that this country was built on the backs of Black people, and that we fought for our freedom. Today, our freedom remains under attack. I honor those who came before us by continuing the work toward justice and our civil rights. ✊🏾
High-speed internet isn't a luxury anymore. It’s an absolute necessity for homework, doctor appointments, and remote work. I am working with @durbin.senate.gov to bridge the digital divide for hardworking families in rural and urban communities.
The day is finally here: the Obama Presidential Center is open! I joined @cnn.com's Sara Sidner to talk about the newest icon of the Second District on the South Side. (Volume up to hear Jennifer Hudson taking us to church in the background 🎤)
I introduced a resolution with support from 92 @housedemocrats.bsky.social to designate June as Gun Violence Awareness Month. It’s a message to Congress: we must take action to end gun violence. Thoughts and prayers won't save lives.
Last month, my bipartisan Action for Dental Health Act passed @energycommerce.bsky.social committee. My bill expands dental care access to underserved communities because everyone deserves dental care, no matter where they live. Speaker Johnson should take action now and bring it to the floor.
Gun violence isn’t just a headline; it’s a public health crisis. It shapes where our kids can play and how our communities grow. I will always fight for real commonsense reform. No more silence. Enough is enough.
Every day, Trump finds a new way to profit off the backs of hardworking Americans. His family and allies get richer while the rest of us get higher costs and broken promises. I will keep fighting against this administration’s continued abuse of power.
President Trump chose to gut healthcare, chose an endless war in Iran, and chose to give tax breaks to the rich. Each decision caused prices to skyrocket for people like you and me. The Trump economic damage was completely preventable.
There’ve been over 150 mass shootings in 2026. It’s not even halfway through the year. Republicans refuse to pass lifesaving gun safety legislation despite overwhelming public support. Their inaction has consequences, and families are paying the price.
