As Trump tries to ban books and erase Black history, Lonnie Bunch III spent his career doing the opposite: telling the truth about America.
His leadership at the Smithsonian directly challenged those trying to sanitize our past.
Congrats on your retirement, Secretary Lonnie!

@RepBarragan.bsky.social, @RepYvetteClarke.bsky.social, @RepEmilyRandall.bsky.social and I, along with 49 colleagues, are again demanding that Secretary Kennedy and CMS Administrator Oz immediately cease the sharing of all Medicaid data with ICE.
It is a shame that we have to say this again.
It’s been a year since Trump’s Operation Midway Blitz terrorized our neighborhoods, separated thousands of families, and instilled fear into our communities.
However, our spirits are too strong to break. Together, we continue to stand against his efforts and support our neighbors.
Trump plans to desecrate Arlington National Cemetery’s sacred sightline to build an arch for himself.
Meanwhile, Americans are struggling to get by, and our soldiers continue to fight his chosen war.
Yet again, the President prioritizes his interests above the American people.
Happy birthday to the unconquerable and legendary Ruby Bridges! Her story and the legacy that followed remain an inspiration to us all.
May her incredible courage remind each of us that no room is off-limits, and we all have the power to break barriers and change history.
Charissa Berrini was a joy to everyone who knew her. As a Blue Island native, her passion for uplifting her community, her family, and educating youth was unmatched.
She will be deeply missed.
May she rest in peace, and I send my deepest condolences to her loved ones.
This Labor Day, I’m thinking about the Pullman porters, who, in 1925, organized the first all-black union, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters.
Their fight helped build the labor movement and the Civil Rights Movement.
I’ll keep protecting the right for workers to organize.
Honored to have been awarded Prep Insight Magazine’s Lifetime Achievement Award alongside my colleague, Rep. Danny Davis!
My work does not stop here, however. As long as I am your representative, I will continue to diligently serve you and Illinois’ second district.
Last week, I was honored to be part of the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Access South Cook, a new accessible affordable housing development in the heart of Park Forest.
Congrats to Park Forest, IFF, and all who helped to make the Southlands truly a home for everyone!
Medicare will pay for dialysis after kidney failure, but not for the nutrition therapy that could prevent it.
That's backwards.
My Medical Nutrition Therapy Act fixes it by allowing Medicare to cover nutrition therapy to help prevent diseases.
Our skilled laborers and first responders who are helping our communities recover after the July and August severe storms are a testament to the spirit of the people of Illinois.
Thank you for all that you have done; my gratitude is with you.
🏳️🌈Happy Pride, Chicago! 🏳️🌈
Today, we celebrate love and who we are—exactly as we are. You are Free To Be Proud! I will always show up, speak up, and stand up for YOU.
