Too many lives are cut short by preventable roadway crashes every day. @blumenthal.senate.gov and I just reintroduced the Road to Zero Resolution to push for safer roads and a future where everyone can get where they’re going safely. We can and must do better.

I'm relieved that Ricardo and his mother Martha have finally been released. But what they endured should've never happened. The cruelty we're seeing in our immigration system must end. Immigrants make our communities stronger, and we must keep fighting for a system that reflects our values.

Congratulations to the Northwestern women’s lacrosse team on an outstanding championship win! These women are powerful, determined, and absolutely fearless on the field. Evanston is so proud of you. Go 'Cats! 💜🏆

Today, on Memorial Day, we pause to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. I’m grateful for their courage, and I’m holding their loved ones close in my thoughts today.

Black women in the US are far more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. Every mom deserves good care before, during, and after pregnancy. I introduced legislation with @bluntrochester.senate.gov to expand coverage and improve maternal health care.

My dear friend Barney Frank was one of a kind. He was brilliant, fearless, funny, and deeply compassionate. Serving alongside him was one of the great privileges of my career. Barney helped change this country for the better, from advancing financial reform to breaking barriers for LGBTQ Americans.

Ricardo, an 18-year-old high school senior, and his mother Martha came to this country seeking a better life. What the Trump Administration has put them through is horrific, unacceptable, and un-American.

PFAS chemicals are linked to cancer, liver damage, and other serious health risks and now Trump’s EPA is trying to roll back limits on them in our drinking water. This is exactly what happens when corporations and polluters call the shots in Washington. Clean water is a right.

I was a Head Start teacher, and I saw firsthand the joy, confidence, and opportunities this program gave so many children and families. On its anniversary, we celebrate Head Start and stand against attacks that threaten access to early childhood education for millions of kids.

To Meta, children are nothing more than a dollar value. It’s past time we listen to parents sounding the alarm about the dangers Big Tech poses to children, and all Americans. Families deserve accountability. Congress must stand up to Big Tech.

I'm proud to have secured $7 million in federal funding for the Village of Mount Prospect to help reduce gridlock at Rand Rd., Kensington Rd., and Route 83. These improvements will reduce wait times and improve safety drivers and pedestrians alike.

Trump promised lower prices. Instead, his reckless and illegal war in Iran is making life more expensive for everyone else. Gas prices up. Grocery prices up. Families stretched even thinner. Working people are once again paying for Donald Trump’s chaos.

Happy Mother’s Day! 💐🌹☀️ Instead of just chocolates and flowers, how about paid parental leave, affordable health care, fair wages, and child care families can count on? Today and every day, we fight for policies that support working families and honor the care moms provide.

Eight years after Trump withdrew from the JCPOA, a deal that constrained Iran’s nuclear program, we are still facing higher gas prices and ongoing global instability. Abandoning diplomacy has real consequences. Negotiation works. Chaos doesn’t.

I’m encouraged by the appointment of García Luna as Guatemala’s new Attorney General.

Nurses show up for us in our most vulnerable moments, often working long hours under strenuous conditions. That is why safe staffing standards and fair working conditions for nurses will provide the support they deserve and dramatically improve patient care.

This Teacher Appreciation Day📝, I’m thinking about the long days, meaningful moments, and lasting impact of teaching. From one former teacher to those in the classroom now, thanks for all you do. I’ll keep fighting for higher pay, stronger benefits, and the support you deserve.

People with disabilities should never be forced to choose between the support of their families and the benefits they need to survive. Supplemental Security Income is a lifeline, not something to be chipped away at. We must strengthen it.

This May Day, I stand with workers building a more just economy where everyone has a voice. As a dues-paying union member, I know firsthand the power of collective action. We must strengthen the right to organize and bargain so all can thrive. Workers deserve nothing less.

The US still lacks a comprehensive long-term care plan. That must change. @debbiedingell.house.gov and I introduced a bill to expand home care, strengthen the care workforce, and help millions of seniors and people with disabilities live independently with dignity.

For years, Big Pharma has ripped off Americans, forcing them to pay tens of thousands of dollars per year for their lifesaving prescription drugs. @usprogressives.bsky.social have a plan to ensure prescription drugs are affordable and accessible for patients.

Today’s ruling guts one of the most important civil rights laws in our nation’s history. The Voting Rights Act was created to ensure minority communities have a voice and are fairly represented in our democracy.

Nurses at Rush Medical Center are organizing for safer staffing standards, stronger workplace protections, and a real voice to protect patient care. I stand with them and urge Rush to respect their rights and engage in good faith. Supporting nurses strengthens patient care.

Instead of a real data privacy bill, the Republicans have opted for legislation which is nothing more than a giveaway to their big tech donors.

The future is green, and we are not backing down.

This Earth Day, we are pushing for real climate action, not empty promises. The science is clear. The urgency is real. Time to act.

Families are feeling the pressure of high energy costs every day, while energy companies continue to rake in profits. That’s why @casten.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov, and I reintroduced legislation to hold bad actors accountable for rigging markets and raising prices.

Workers deserve better than what we've seen. The Labor Department should fight for working families, not fuel controversy. Republicans must stop standing in the way and start protecting unions, enforcing workplace protections, and cracking down on corporate abuse.

My heart aches over the passing of my dear friend and former colleague Barbara Flynn Currie, a pioneering leader and the first woman Majority Leader in the Illinois House.

‘Do not call’ means do not call. Period. But illegitimate and intrusive robocalls are only getting worse. Our bill empowers victims to hold scammers accountable after just one illegal call. We need strong, pro-consumer guardrails now.

Every year, thousands of people in the U.S. are newly diagnosed with ALS. Thanks to my friends, Brian and Sandra, for speaking about the importance of reauthorizing the ACT for ALS bill! This legislation will fund ALS research so people can access life-saving treatments. Let's get it done!

A jury just confirmed what fans already knew: Live Nation and Ticketmaster abused their power and stuck consumers with an unfair ticketing system. My bipartisan TICKET Act would require all-in pricing, ban speculative ticketing, crack down on deceptive resale practices, and protect refunds.

On Yom HaShoah, we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and honor the resilience of the survivors. As antisemitism rises around the world, we must speak out, educate, and stand united against hate in all its forms. Never again. Never forget.

Trump’s war is driving up gas prices and Americans are footing the bill.

More chaos overseas means higher costs at home. We deserve better than this.

Just two weeks ago, @warren.senate.gov and I called on the FTC to investigate corporations exploiting rising fuel costs to pad profits. This is exactly the kind of behavior we warned about. Consumers deserve fairness, not corporate greed.

Constituents are calling my office in tears. They are scared. This is what dangerous rhetoric does. It spreads fear and uncertainty. Republicans must stand with Democrats and speak out against this unhinged madness. Silence is cowardice.

Wishing a happy and peaceful Easter to all who celebrate. 🌷 May this day bring a moment to pause, reflect, and appreciate the people and blessings in our lives.

Medicaid is a lifesaver! Seniors, kids, pregnant people, and those with disabilities depend on it.   Republican cuts have forced millions off care.
  This #MedicaidAwarenessMonth we will defend Medicaid and fight to protect health care for all.

Pam Bondi’s loyalty was to Trump, not to justice. She put politics above victims and power above principle. Her firing is overdue. The work for transparency and accountability is far from over.

To everyone in our community celebrating Passover, I’m wishing you a joyful and meaningful holiday.

As you gather with family and loved ones around the Seder table, may this time of reflection, tradition, and renewal bring you comfort and hope. Chag Pesach Sameach!

When millions of people lose health care and thousands of workers lose jobs, that’s not ‘America First.’ It’s failure. We can and must do better. Collectively, we can come together and choose a different path.

To the trans community: You are seen, you are heard, and you are loved. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️ No one should have to hide who they are. I will always fight to protect your rights and stand strong against hatred and bigotry. #TransDayOfVisibility

No person should be targeted for their religion. The Iranian government’s relentless assault on its Baha’i minority is an outrage that demands immediate action. The US and our allies must use every diplomatic tool available to hold Iran accountable and end this hate-fueled persecution now.

Every time we come close to real solutions, Republicans find a new way to stall, obstruct, and move the goalposts. Enough is enough. Families deserve a government that works for them, not manufactured crises and endless delays.

Air travelers are stranded. Communities need disaster relief funds. We have a deal to resolve these problems, but Republicans are blocking it to boost ICE funding and continue their inhumane enforcement efforts. Stop the obstruction. Do your job.

Safe staffing saves lives! I just introduced legislation with @doggett.house.gov to set strong nursing home staffing standards and ensure every resident gets the high-quality care they deserve.

Today, I'm standing with the Lung Association and countless advocates raising awareness for lung cancer. We need robust federal funding to drive prevention, early detection, and life-saving treatments, and to support all those impacted by this disease. We are in this fight together!

As costs soar from Trump’s illegal war with Iran, any attempt by big corporations to jack up prices is unacceptable. We must crack down on price gouging and protect consumers. I’m backing @warren.senate.gov's push to hold bad actors accountable.

Health care is not a privilege, it’s a right. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, seniors pay less for prescription drugs, young people can stay on their parents' health plan, and insurance companies can't deny you coverage for pre-existing conditions.

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating across the 9th District. Wishing you peace, joy, and time with loved ones!

Trump’s endless war with Iran is driving up costs for Americans. We can lower prices by moving to clean, affordable energy. This bill from @casten.house.gov & @levin.house.gov promotes renewable energy, cracks down on market manipulation, & includes key parts of my Energy Consumer Protection Act.
