The FTC’s settlement with Amazon over Click-to-Cancel is far from justice. Big Tech continues to exploit consumers in the name of extreme profits while the FTC sits idly by. We need bold action and real accountability to protect working people from corporate abuse.

America’s aging population is growing, and the number of geriatricians is shrinking. The Trump administration proposed cuts to a critical workforce program designed to improve the health of seniors. Republicans must keep this program fully funded. Lives are at stake!

House Republicans just passed a funding bill that does nothing to make health care more affordable. Instead, they doubled down on their Big Ugly Law that rips care from 17 Million Americans, all while prices soar and their donors get tax breaks.

I joined The USO and other Members of Congress to assemble a total of 2,000 care packages for our service members.    Once deployed, access to essential supplies may be limited. These packages can really go a long way.   Today, and every day, thank you for your service!

The First Amendment isn't a privilege granted by the President or the FCC, it's a constitutional right. Corporate media must stand firm against these attacks, not cave to a wannabe dictator & his henchmen. These threats against democracy won’t be ignored. We’ll hold those responsible accountable.

The Affordable Care Act premium tax credits are a lifeline for countless Americans across the country. If Congressional Republicans let these tax credits expire, 22 million people will be forced to pay higher premiums. We can't afford to pay higher health costs.

Hispanic heritage is American heritage! This Hispanic Heritage Month, we don’t just celebrate culture, we celebrate the generations of Latino immigrants, workers, and organizers who’ve built this nation. Let’s commit to protecting the rights and dignity of all who call this country home.

We can't let Trump and Dr. Oz turn traditional Medicare into Medicare Advantage. Each year, millions of seniors on Medicare Advantage are unfairly denied the care they need. We must protect traditional Medicare. Lives are at stake!

Juan López, a tireless leader in Honduras & a well-known environmental defender, was assassinated one year ago today for defending natural resources & opposing corruption in his homeland. This week, I joined my colleagues in calling on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to pursue justice in the case.

Too many communities across the country face a shortage of health care providers. My EMPOWER for Health Act will reauthorize needed funding for workforce training programs to help meet our health care needs.

For too long, platforms like Temu have operated with little accountability, raking in profits from dangerous and deceptive practices online. This is exactly why I authored the INFORM Consumers Act, legislation that requires platforms to verify the identity of online sellers.

On this day, 24 years ago, our world changed forever. A bright, sunny morning quickly turned into one of the darkest days in our nation’s history. Let us honor and mourn all those lives we tragically lost on September 11, 2001.

Political violence has no place in a democratic society. No matter our political differences, every American deserves to live and speak without fear of violence. We must reject hate in all forms. My thoughts are with Charlie Kirk and his family.

The Supreme Court just gave police the green light to target you because of your race. This is racism. Plain and simple. We need accountability, and we need it now. It's past time we reform the court. Organize. Protest. Pressure. The power is with the people.

Workers deserve freedom, not handcuffs disguised as contracts. The FTC abandoning the non-compete ban is a blow to workers, but the fight is far from over. Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter's dissent shows exactly why independent commissioners are critical to holding corporations accountable.

Donald Trump doesn’t get to declare war on American cities. Chicago isn’t a threat, he is. We are a hardworking community made up of workers, families, and organizers. We won’t let a wannabe dictator terrorize our city. Not now, not ever.

Flight delayed? Canceled? Tough luck according to Trump. No more compensation for you. The Trump administration just axed a rule that finally made airlines pay up for delays and cancellations. Yet again, Trump is putting corporate profits over people.

RFK Jr. has no business running anything, let alone the Department of Health and Human Services. Lives are at stake. Resign or be fired. He has got to go.

I signed on. Release the files NOW!

Great news to start the day! A court just reinstated FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter after President Trump illegally fired her.   Independent agencies must stay independent. Now, Rebecca can continue her work protecting consumers, lowering costs, and holding corporations accountable.

@nadler.house.gov is more than just a colleague, he is a trusted friend and dedicated partner in the fight for justice. A true champion for civil rights and our democracy, Jerry’s work will have a lasting impact. Thanks, Jerry, for your courage, heart, and decades of service.

This Labor Day, remember: the middle class didn’t just happen, unions built it. The 40-hour workweek. Fair wages. Safe workplaces. All won by workers organizing. Now, Trump & his billionaire cronies are trying to tear it all down. We won't let them. Pass the PRO Act. Raise the wage. #UnionStrong✊🏻

To all those in the 9th District, and across the Chicago area, it’s crucial that you KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.    Please go to my website for more info or call my office if you need assistance.   We are, and always will be, a nation of immigrants.

RFK Jr. is targeting experts at the CDC who won't play along with his dangerous conspiracy theories. Public health decisions must be driven by facts. We need leadership that defends science, not dismantles it. Congress must investigate and the public must speak out.

Trump and DOGE put YOUR Social Security information at risk! Officials recklessly mishandled the names, addresses, and personal data of millions of Americans — threatening our privacy and security. For the safety of all Americans, we as a Congress cannot allow this gross mismanagement to continue!

Medicare Advantage is neither Medicare nor an advantage. It's private insurance using the Medicare name to overbill taxpayers, deny care, and pad profits. Congress must act now to rein in corporate greed, put patients over profits, and strengthen REAL Medicare.

Donald Trump even considering deploying the National Guard to Chicago is outrageous and nothing but a power grab by an aspiring dictator. Our communities need investment, not intimidation. Sending troops into our neighborhoods will not help public safety, it will only escalate tensions.

On behalf of the entire Chicago community, I want to wish Sister Jean a joyful 106th birthday! 🎂 Your wisdom and enduring spirit have been a guiding light not only for @loyolachicago.bsky.social but for our entire city.

Trump’s latest attack on our democracy is a blatant attempt to disenfranchise millions of voters. His unconstitutional push to ban mail-in ballots is a direct assault on the rights of seniors, disabled individuals, and working-class Americans who rely on mail-in voting.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned over $20 billion to Americans. Now, a court just gave Trump the green light to dismantle it. We can't let working families pay the price. Corporate scammers, predatory lenders, and shady banks must be held accountable.

Too often, we see worthy projects in our community go underfunded. One of the best parts of my job is bringing back federal funds for the 9th District. I secured $300,000 for the @apnaghar.bsky.social mobile advocacy program to better reach and assist survivors of gender-based violence.

For 90 years, Social Security has kept millions out of poverty. Now, GOP extremists want to privatize and gut it. We won’t let them. Not now, not ever. Today, as we celebrate this hard-earned benefit, I made it clear that it’s time to EXPAND Social Security, not destroy it.

Juan López was a leader in Honduras who was assassinated after years of working to protect the environment and opposing corruption at the highest levels. Now, 11 months after his death, it's imperative that the preliminary hearing move forward to advance justice for Juan, and all of Honduras.

Marriage equality is a constitutional right, period. President Biden's Respect for Marriage Act ensures federal recognition of LGBTQ+ and interracial marriages nationwide. We must stay loud, united, and ready to fight back against any extremist attempt to take away our rights.

Jim Lovell turned tragedy into triumph, guiding Apollo 13 home against all odds. A true American hero who showed us what courage looks like in a crisis. We need that spirit now more than ever. I’m grateful Jim shared his passion for space with the Adler Planetarium. May his memory shine bright.

Make no mistake, immigrants make our country great! Congratulations to the 977 new U.S. citizens, coming from 109 different countries! It was an honor to be part of such a special day and Naturalization Ceremony.

On Assyrian Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the victims of the 1933 Simele Massacre and all those who have suffered persecution. We’re so fortunate to have such a large Assyrian American presence in the 9th District. Today, and every day, we stand in solidarity with the Assyrian community.

Terminating union contracts at the VA is union-busting, plain and simple. This reckless power grab is a betrayal of the very people who care for our veterans and keep them safe. Our veterans and their caregivers deserve better. The VA must immediately reverse this decision.

Care infrastructure is infrastructure! I joined @durbin.senate.gov and Endeavor Health for the opening of the Oakton College Health Careers Education Center. This state-of-the-art facility will train the next generation of health workers and is a vital step toward expanding access to care.

Instead of lowering energy costs and creating good-paying jobs, Trump would rather ignore science and cozy up to the fossil fuel industry. We're running out of time to prevent the worst effects of climate change. Future generations are counting on us.

It's incredibly courageous for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault to make their voices heard. When survivors do come forward, they deserve sensitive, respectful, and diligent care. I applaud @govpritzker.illinois.gov for enacting "Anna's Law."

Trump’s reckless decision to fire hundreds of Administration for Community Living employees means lifesaving services like Meals on Wheels and caregiving support are at risk for countless seniors and people with disabilities.

As Trump rips away lifesaving aid around the globe, we must rededicate ourselves to funding a robust global health strategy. I just introduced the Dr. Paul Farmer Memorial Resolution, which proposes a $125 billion annual budget for global health aid.

My dear friend, Rep. Danny Davis, has left an incredible mark on the City of Chicago, Congress, and our entire country. Your decades of service, leadership, and dedication are an inspiration. From community events to trips around the world, serving with you has been an honor. I love you, Danny!

Happy #NationalInternDay to one of the BEST groups of interns Congress has ever seen! 💼✨ Their hard work, high-energy, and commitment never failed to put a smile on my face. Thanks for your service to the 9th Congressional District. You’ll always be a part of Team Schakowsky!

Every worker deserves dignity, respect, and fair treatment, no matter their title or position. As a dues-paying union member, I stand with the @teamsters.bsky.social workers in Illinois, and across the country, who are demanding fair pay, strong benefits, and real protection.

Medicare and Medicaid were founded 60 years ago today, dramatically expanding access to health care. Now, Trump and Republicans are moving us backwards, slashing coverage and booting millions from their lifesaving care. The fight isn't over. We must speak out and organize.

I guess the extreme heat, droughts, and wildfires aren't enough evidence for the Trump Administration that climate change is real. Overturning the EPA’s ability to limit greenhouse gas pollution will not only harm public health, but will accelerate climate change. #ClimateChaos

Trump promised to lower costs, but we've seen the exact opposite. Greedy corporations are using the failures of the Trump Administration to gouge Americans on everything from groceries to consumer goods. I have a bill to hold these bad actors accountable.

Republicans in Congress voted to gut access to lifesaving health care.   Planned Parenthood not only provides women with reproductive care, but also breast exams, vaccines, and so much more.   This ruling is good news, but the fight is far from over.
