UPDATE: Republicans kept the vote open for 7 hours -- the longest in US history. We're now onto the next procedural hurdle, which has already lasted over an hour. Republicans are trying to steal people's healthcare in the middle of the night. Keep. The. Pressure. On.
Republicans have kept the vote open for their Big, Ugly Bill for over 4 hours. Votes normally take 15 minutes. Republicans are stalling because they know cuts to Medicaid & SNAP are bad — but they’re still trying to jam it through. I will not grow weary. Keep the pressure on.

Americans are telling Congress to NOT give a $4.5 billion tax break to billionaires. I’m listening to The People. I joined the Congressional Black Caucus in speaking out against the Big, Ugly Bill that steals from hardworking people to give more to the wealthy few.

House Republicans once laughed at our concerns over cuts to Medicaid. Now, Senate Republicans increased cuts to $1 trillion, and they’re scrambling to recover politically. This isn’t funny. This is life or death. Millions of Americans won’t be able to recover from losing healthcare.
As I head back to DC, I’m thinking of Kairo, whose life depends on Medicaid. I’m thinking of my 300,000 constituents and 3.4 million Illinoisans who rely on Medicaid. Republicans want to cut their lifeline. I’m voting to save it.
Senate GOP just passed an even uglier version of the Big, Ugly Bill—with a $1 TRILLION cut to Medicaid. 17 million Americans will lose healthcare. 500,000 Illinoisans will lose healthcare. In the Second District, 38,000 people will lose healthcare. When people lose healthcare, people die.
Senate Republicans voted to advance the Big, Ugly Bill under the cover of night — because they know Americans don't want cuts to Medicaid. They're racing to pass this unpopular, disastrous bill under a self-imposed deadline. All to give tax breaks to the wealthy few.
The Supreme Court just inserted politicians between women and their healthcare decisions—again. Medicaid patients should have the right to choose their provider, including Planned Parenthood. And they should be able to fight in court for that right. Patients need more healthcare options, not less.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows states to cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood.
TUNE IN: Three years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, reproductive rights are still under attack. @housedemocrats.bsky.social, @reprocaucus.bsky.social, and @demwomencaucus.bsky.social are hearing from patients and healthcare providers impacted by the consequences:
Three years after #RoevWade was overturned, we will continue to hold Republicans accountable for the harms caused by their agenda. 📺 Tune in as our Caucus joins @demwomencaucus.bsky.social & @housedemocrats.bsky.social to hear testimony from experts & storytellers 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dvct...
Today marks 10 years since the Supreme Court's historic ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, legalizing same-sex marriage across the US. Love won that day and love must continue to prevail this #EqualityDay and beyond.
3 years ago today, President Biden signed the first federal gun safety law in 30 years: the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. As President Trump reverses progress, I’m determined to keep moving forward. We cannot afford to wait another 30 years to pass a gun safety law. 📸: J Scott Applewhite/AP
RFK Jr. doesn’t know what his own department recommends on COVID-19 vaccines. That’s deeply troubling. I set the record straight: COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective, and the best medicine to prevent outbreaks.
FACT CHECK: Health Secretary RFK Jr. said the COVID-19 vaccine causes miscarriages. This is NOT TRUE. Pregnant women should get vaccinated to protect themselves and their babies. Last month, RFK Jr. said to not take medical advice from him. We’ll take that to heart.
Three years ago today, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, stripping reproductive rights. Since then, women’s bodily autonomy has been under constant attack. I trust YOU to make decisions about your own body — not politicians.
Graphic reads, "Reproductive freedom means putting the American people's health and reproductive rights first," with text over a picture of the Supreme Court.
Birth control is healthcare. Period. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe 3 years ago, reproductive rights have been under attack. Pharmacies have refused to fill birth control prescriptions and denied purchases. I introduced the Access to Birth Control Act to protect people’s healthcare.
I’m heartbroken to hear that a 19-year-old woman was shot & killed at a park in Danville this weekend. Two teens were also injured. I’m thinking of their families, friends, and the Danville community during this difficult time. They should’ve been safe at a park. Enough is enough.
