@HouseDemocrats know that the American people deserve better. That is why we are ready, willing and able to quickly reach a bipartisan agreement that reopens the government, ensures #SNAP benefits are paid, and lowers health care costs. #MakeAmericaHungryAgain

Starting soon! Join me for a town hall at Chicago State University from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. Come be part of the conversation about the work we’re doing together and what’s ahead for our community. If you can’t make it in person, you can still watch live here 👉 facebook.com/repjackson

My office captured several stills from today’s @dhsgov.govmirrors.com video supporting Gregory Bovino. The imagery is deeply troubling; it evokes another era when masked government agents rounded up so-called “undesirables" (I’m sure that’s just a coincidence).

@RepFields and I founded the Congressional #DEI Caucus to push back against Trump’s attacks on Black students. The data is clear: DEI bans have shut the doors of opportunity; locking THOUSANDS of Black students out of America’s top institutions. #DiversityEquityInclusion

MAGAs shut down the government to make families choose between #Food and #Healthcare. End the shutdown and 7.3M lose care. Keep it going and 42M lose #SNAP benefits. Either way, @Trump stays well fed. #MakeAmericaHungryAgain #MAHA

It’s day 28 of the shutdown, and I know many people are worried about what it means for them and their families. Join me this Thursday, October 30, at 6 p.m. CT at Chicago State for an in-person town hall to discuss its impacts and the resources available to help RSVP here: uscongress.app/kP32oet4y

2 DAYS AWAY! Join us Thursday, October 30, 2025, from 6–7 PM CST at @ChicagoState’s Gwendolyn Brooks Library (9501 S. King Dr.) for an Emergency #TownHall on the GOP-led government #shutdown and key legislative updates on #ICE, #SNAP, and the #VotingRights. jonathanjackson.house.gov

Thank you to everyone who joined last week’s telephone town hall — I appreciated hearing your thoughts and questions about the government shutdown and its impact on our communities.

@POTUS found $40B to bailout #Argentina’s president, but can’t find $5B to keep food on American tables. Next week, #SNAP cuts will hit 1 in 8 Americans; not because we’re broke, but because this administration is choosing not to use available contingency funds. #AmericaFirst?

Yesterday I met with HealthCare Equity Advisory Council and banded together in a discovery meeting to discuss how to best support our hospitals, physicians and the broader healthcare community during the ongoing shutdown.

Join today’s telephone town hall as we discuss the government shutdown and how it’s affecting Illinois — from health care and the cost of living to federal services families depend on. I want to hear from you! RSVP and submit a question: uscongress.app/kP32oet4y

We’re now 20 days into the government shutdown. It’s time for Republicans to return to D.C. so we can reopen the government, lower health care costs, and get back to delivering for working families. I want to hear from you — join my upcoming town halls and share your ideas on how we move forward.

Apparently @JDVance is doubling down on his support for a White Supremacist who said “I love Hitler” and called Black people “watermelon people.” Whataboutism isn’t leadership. His only job is reminding us that without Trump, things could be worse — he’s #ImpeachmentInsurance.

#ReleaseTheHomanTapes Rep. Jackson Urges Release of ‘Homan Tapes’ and End to Abuse of Power, Demands Border Czar Resignation Over ICE Raids and Corruption

Republicans shut down the government right before harvest season when farmers need loans most. It's almost impressive how consistently they find new ways to hurt rural constituents.

Why do megalomaniacs always build giant monuments? You don’t put rims on a rental, or custom cabinets in an Airbnb—and you sure don’t build a gold-plated Oval Office, billion-dollar jet, grand ballroom and now an “Arc de Trump” if you actually plan on leaving in 3 years

@jonathanjackson.house.gov is introducing a Constitutional Amendment for the Right to Vote to ban dilution & affirm voting rights for citizens. Every House Democrat must support this as the Supreme Court is on the verge of gutting the Voting Rights Act & eliminating majority Black districts.

Congressman Jackson Acknowledges Hostage/Detainee Release, Calls for Immediate Action on Two-State Solution

Today, on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the communities that have inhabited the Americas for tens of thousands of years. I stand with the Indigenous communities in #IL01 and across our country fighting for equality.

Domestic violence impacts millions of Americans each year. It is never too late to ask for help. If you or a loved one is a victim of domestic violence, call the 24-hour National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE.

CONGRESSMAN JACKSON DENOUNCES TRUMP’S ILLEGAL DEPLOYMENT OF TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS TO CHICAGO: “THIS IS NOT GOVERNANCE, IT IS AUTHORITARIAN THEATER”

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson Issues the Following Statement Commemorating the Anniversary of the October 7th Hamas Terrorist Attack Against Israel

#BadBunny’s @SuperBowl selection is not just a cultural milestone, it's a reminder. #PuertoRicans have shaped American music, culture, and identity. Puerto Rican nationalists were active supporters of the Civil Rights movement. Yet they lack full voting rights and statehood.

When others stay silent, @zachbryan.bsky.social sings the truth. While kids are zip-tied and our liberties trampled, he reminds us that country music has always stood for compassion. Courage and decency must be applauded #CountryMusic #StandWithMigrants #CountryWithHeart

Today, Congressman Jackson had the honor of visiting @fooddepository.bsky.social, where he saw firsthand the incredible work being done to fight hunger and support families across Illinois’ 1st district and beyond.

The Trump administration’s decision to withhold $2.1 billion in federal infrastructure funding for Chicago is a politically motivated move that undermines the needs of our communities.

Trump has suggested turning U.S. cities into military training grounds and expanded ICE crackdowns on immigrants across the country. Pope Leo is right, that isn’t pro-life.

Remember when we warned you about #Project2025 and #DonaldTrump said he knew NOTHING about it? Well, now he is finally admitting that the #HeritageFoundation is essentially running the Federal Government. Everything that is happening and that will happen is already laid out

Congratulations to Nigeria on your National Day of Independence! We celebrate your sovereignty, rich cultural heritage including Nollywood and Afrobeat, and the profound literary contributions of icons like Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka.

With the federal government shutting down, many are wondering what this means for them. For resources and assistance, please call my office at (773) 779-2400 or visit my website. jonathanjackson.house.gov/government-s...

Only Republicans can stop this shutdown — and they’re nowhere in D.C.

@HouseDemocrats reflect America’s future: Diverse, Vibrant, and Committed to protecting #Healthcare for working families. MAGA Republicans reflect the waiting room of a retirement home. Won't let the party of the past, steal America's FUTURE! Stop the #TrumpShutdown

House Republicans can’t be bothered to show up for work. Instead, they’d rather #shutdown the government while families in #Chicago struggle to afford insulin, keep their kids on #Medicaid, and hold onto the #healthcare they’ve already paid for @housedemocrats.bsky.social are here and ready

Honored to have joined CBC week with @jonathanjackson.house.gov and foreign ministers of Colombia and South Africa. I spoke about my grandfather's fight alongside Gandhi for democracy & the connection with civil rights leaders whose work paved the way for my family and so many to come to the US.

The #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown is a defining moment for our nation. While @HouseDemocrats are prepared to negotiate for the American people, the White House is holding the country hostage—demanding an end to #Healthcare for millions. We cannot let #Billionaires strip families of affordable care.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson joined @chriscuomo.bsky.social on @newsnation.bsky.social to discuss the Trump #DOJ’s indictment of former @FBI @jamescomey.bsky.social youtu.be/TFlUxow71Jk?...

Shameful. The political persecution of James Comey is a direct assault on the American tradition of an impartial justice system. We must resist every effort to turn the federal government into a machine for settling personal and political scores. This is a moment to stand for what is right.

This is an outrageous perversion of our civil rights laws. The DOJ is using "clean voter rolls" as a dog whistle for purging voters. This isn't about election integrity—it's a transparent plot to disenfranchise citizens and steal the 2026 election. We will not stand for it.

Turkey was barred from buying F-35s after purchasing Russian S-400 air defense systems. Handing them the world’s most advanced fighter now risks exposing $2T worth of Allied jets to enemy detection & fire. Doing so would betray our allies and undermine global defense partnerships

#MAGA Republicans control the House, Senate & White House; yet blame @HouseDemocrats for THEIR #GovernmentShutdown Without ACA subsidies, MILLIONS lose affordable care. They’re holding YOUR healthcare hostage & threatening mass federal firings to force through there BILLIONAIRE agenda

Congressman Jackson joined House Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Gregory W. Meeks and Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick for a meeting with DRC President Félix Tshisekedi at the UN General Assembly.

Lo and behold, another T.A.C.O. Tuesday. In just one week government funding runs out and millions of Americans will be left facing skyrocketing health care costs. We need bipartisan negotiations, but Republicans left town and Donald Trump canceled talks.

Does anyone actually know the official U.S. policy on the Russo-Ukrainian war? @SecRubio and @POTUS seem at odds over shooting down Russian jets, and policy appears to have flipped in just 12 hours. This confusion emboldens enemies and rattles allies. Congress and the People deserve ANSWERS

President Trump has once again embarrassed our nation on the international stage. The American people and the world deserve leadership that uplifts our values, strengthens alliances, and restores respect for the United States. #LeadershipMatters

Trump’s push for a “Convention of States” isn’t about shrinking gov’t; it’s about rewriting the Constitution. Once opened, extremists could erase rights, scrap checks & balances, even pave the way for Trump’s 3rd term; or worse, a constitutional monarchy. #ProtectTheConstitution

Shanah Tovah! In the midst of increasingly difficult times for the Jewish community in America and around the world, may this season of renewal bring you and your family peace, happiness and good health.
