The Social Security Administration is already feeling the effects of Trump and Musk's illegal and careless cuts. Working Americans pay into Social Security with every paycheck they earn – except for the ultra-wealthy, who stop paying as of today.

Meanwhile SSA staff in turmoil due to firings, resignations & retirements report a system in dissolution — increased phone wait times, canceled disability hearings, morale "in toilet" — & warn benefits may stop.

Not only do public television stations like WTTW play a critical role in educating our kids, but they also connect our communities. Local stations shine a light on the people, places, and stories that are the fabric of our neighborhoods. We must protect public broadcasting.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govMar 5(source)

The rain isn’t going to stop me from rallying for what's right. I refuse to let Trump and his billionaire sidekick Elon Musk get away with illegally firing workers. We must all come together and make our voices heard.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govMar 5(source)

Trump’s ambush of our ally, Ukrainian President Zelensky in the Oval Office last week was a travesty for U.S. international standing and credibility & a triumph for our adversary Vladimir Putin. The US must always stand for freedom & democracy around the world. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Washington now ‘largely aligns’ with Moscow’s vision, Kremlin says

Tension between the United States and Ukraine, laid bare in the Oval Office meeting of Trump and Zelensky, is seen in Moscow as a “gift.”

Let me remind you that it was just four years ago when Capitol police officers were violently attacked by a mob of election deniers emboldened by Trump. #JointAddress

War on woke? How about you lower costs for the American people. #JointAddress

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govMar 5(source)

The CHIPS and Science Act funded cutting-edge research, brought thousands of strong, good-paying jobs back to the U.S., and powered a resurgence in American semiconductor manufacturing. #JointAddress

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govMar 5(source)

Trump's nonsense tariffs on Canada and Mexico will make everything from cars to eggs more expensive and will drive up costs for families by nearly $2,000 per year. #JointAddress

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govMar 5(source)

Trump wants to gut your lifesaving benefits to give tax cuts to billionaires and the ultra-wealthy. Let's not forget who was in the front row at his inauguration... #TaxTheRich #JointAddress

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govMar 5(source)

The United States is and has always been a nation of immigrants, and our country and economy benefit from immigration. To all those immigrants facing unjust harassment from federal law enforcement, please be sure to know your rights. #JointAddress schakowsky.house.gov/conozca-sus-...

Social Security is your hard-earned money; it is not an entitlement. President Donald Trump and his unelected billionaire sidekick Elon Musk think they alone can decide if you get your Social Security check. They had better think again. #JointAddress

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govMar 5(source)

Billionaire Elon Musk and DOGE have gutted the Department of Veterans Affairs, leaving countless unemployed and restricting access to critical care for millions of veterans. #JointAddress thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Trump’s so-called energy emergency declaration is just an excuse to enrich the fossil fuel industry. He plans to override the permitting process to greenlight LNG projects, and oil and gas pipelines that threaten our drinking water and environmental health. #JointAddress

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govMar 5(source)

Trans rights are human rights. Trump is undoing civil protections, banning gender-affirming care, and preventing transgender servicemembers from serving our country. To my trans constituents, I won't stop fighting to ensure that you can live freely and authentically. #JointAddress

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govMar 5(source)

Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement will increase prices for Americans & expose us to more of the devastating impacts of climate change. He has repeatedly shown us that he is more interested in scoring points in culture wars than championing policies that lower costs. #JointAddress

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govMar 5(source)

I encourage every American to take a look at these graphs. This is the reality of the Trump administration. Tax hikes for the poor and tax cuts for the rich.#JointAddress

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govMar 5(source)

Tonight, President Trump will claim he is making life better for all Americans. Don't believe the lies. The only people in line to benefit are the billionaires set to receive a $4.5 trillion tax break funded by cuts to the lifesaving programs hardworking families rely on. #JointAddress

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govMar 4(source)

I have heard from thousands of constituents who want me to resist. That is why I will not attend Donald Trump's joint address tonight.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govMar 3(source)

When undocumented individuals pay taxes, they are paying into a system without becoming eligible for benefits. Our economy is stronger thanks to their contributions. The privacy of all tax returns is protected by federal law. We won't allow Trump and his cronies to weaponize the IRS.

It got understandably buried w/ Zelensky news, but thought our story ysd was pretty big - Trump DHS pushing for the IRS to produce taxpayer info to assist w/ deportations IRS officials pointing to law saying taxpayer data can only be used for tax purposes www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Rep. Jan Schakowsky@schakowsky.house.govFeb 28(source)

Supporting President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people isn’t just about their fight for sovereignty, but part of a broader fight for freedom and democracy in Europe and around the world. In the US, we stand for democracy. Today, Donald Trump chose to side with dictators.

A meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy grew contentious, with Trump telling Zelenskyy that "you're not acting at all thankful" for U.S. support.
