The future belongs to our children and grandchildren. President Trump is trying to take that future away, but I'm committed to ensuring the next generation inherits a world with clean air and water.
Thank you @robinkelly.house.gov @repbillfoster.bsky.social @elpcenter.bsky.social @sierraclub.org IL @camdavismwrd.bsky.social @nrdc.org @resphealth.bsky.social and everyone who stood with us to speak out against the Trump administration’s efforts to gut EPA’s ability to combat climate change.
Annual health screenings, birth control & comprehensive care decisions shouldn’t be limited by cost or insurance. Medicaid makes this essential healthcare available to 24 million women nationwide. We need to expand coverage, not dismantle it.
President Trump and House Republicans raised the average family’s energy bills by $400 with the Big, Ugly Law. Once again, Republicans prove they’re not helping the working families but lining the pockets of the wealthy few.
In 1948, President Truman's Executive Order abolished segregation in our armed forces. His work wasn't easy and faced resistance. But that effort inspires me: progress always takes courage and commitment, especially amidst adversity.
President Trump and House Republicans failed to repeal the ACA in 2017, so now they’re working to make health care harder to access. Under the Big, Ugly Law, premiums in our district are expected to rise by an average of $1,290 – hitting families where it hurts most.
If you know me, you know I'm about action, not just talk💪🏾. True power isn't loud; it's about backing up your words with the work. I recently joined Alethia Jackson on her podcast, The Power Within, to discuss how conviction and character drive real leadership
Today we celebrate 35 years of the ADA. It broke barriers and expanded the rights of people with disabilities, but there is still work to do. At a time when equity, inclusion & access are under attack, we must continue to defend the ADA & expand its protections.
The Big, Ugly Law puts tax breaks for billionaires over families, and every Republican who voted for this law owns the consequences for families like Kairo’s and the nearly half a million Illinoisans who will lose healthcare.
Still thinking of Kairo’s family, and the countless others, who rely on Medicaid for healthcare. Republicans’ Medicaid cuts mean families like Kairo’s will have to choose between lifesaving treatment and bankruptcy. Hospitals could close and whole communities will suffer.
So grateful for my summer Health Fellows! My office drives a large health portfolio—from maternal health to clinical trial diversity and beyond. This incredible team tirelessly advances our crucial mission to ensure everyone has access to affordable and high-quality healthcare.
Safer schools & brighter futures: That is why I support @repjahanahayes.bsky.social School Violence Prevention Act. We must invest in our youth’s mental health, promote healing from trauma, and foster safe environments from gun violence.
UPDATE: The Trump administration buckled under our pressure to release $5.5 billion to school districts across the country. Teachers and students deserved and needed this money that was already designated by Congress. President Trump had no right or legal standing to freeze it in the first place.
🚨 President Trump is stealing dollars from our schools, endangering teachers and students alike. The Trump Administration keeps proving their true agenda: protect billionaires and big corporations—not the American people.
I keep hearing my Republican colleagues preach transparency, accountability, and honesty. So let’s test that. Release the Epstein files. And while you're at it, admit that President Trump’s Big, Ugly Law protects the rich and leaves everyday Americans behind.
🚨 President Trump is stealing dollars from our schools, endangering teachers and students alike. The Trump Administration keeps proving their true agenda: protect billionaires and big corporations—not the American people.
The surging humanitarian crisis in Gaza requires urgent action. People need food, medicine, and safety. A ceasefire agreement where all hostages can come home and aid can flow into the region is imperative. All people want to live in peace.
