Happy birthday, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social! Thank you for your leadership of @housedemocrats.bsky.social, ensuring that people are put over politics, like expanding access to health care and fighting for equity daily!

Wishing my dear friend @BarackObama.bsky.social a happy 65th birthday! America couldn’t be prouder of your service, and Illinois couldn’t have asked for a better son.

Oral health is healthcare. Too many people end up in the ER for dental pain that preventive care could have stopped. I've worked across the aisle to fix that, because this shouldn't be a partisan issue. adanews.ada.org/ada-news/202...

What is the cost of the Republican’s "big" and "beautiful" bill? ▶️8 million people and counting have lost their health coverage. ▶️Hospitals closing. ▶️Premiums up. Our healthcare system is in crisis, and instead of fixing it, Republicans are abandoning families.

Discharged while in active labor. Gave birth on the side of the road minutes later. Mercedes’ story isn’t unique. It is past time to change the system; that's why I introduced the WELLS Act.

“Wells Act” aims to enhance labor discharge plans and tackle racial bias in hospitals

Studies show Black women are three times more likely to die due to pregnancy-related causes than white women.

A family in my district has a son with a rare blood disease. His medical bills hit $2.5 million before he turned three. Medicaid covered it. Republicans are actively cutting access to it. Medicaid isn’t a budget line; it's lifesaving healthcare access.

61 years ago, our country came together to create Medicare and Medicaid, giving generations of Americans the chance to get healthcare and live with dignity. Now Trump and Republicans are attacking both programs and the people who depend on them, all to give trillions in tax cuts to the wealthy.

Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege reserved for those who can afford it. FULL STOP

100 days from now, Americans will make their voices heard. One thing is clear: affordability remains the top issue for millions of families. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and I are fighting to lower costs, expand access to affordable healthcare, and build an economy that works for everyone.

Trump and Republicans had a choice: help hungry kids or hand more tax breaks to the wealthy and corporations. They chose the wealthy. Families in Illinois are paying for it.

Trump promised to lower costs on Day One. Instead, working families are paying more for everything from groceries to summer fun. His reckless agenda is driving up costs when families can least afford it.

The House passed my bipartisan Action for Dental Health Act! Why this bill matters: ✅ Oral health is key to overall health. ✅ Preventive care reduces out-of-pocket costs. ✅ Community care addresses disparities head-on. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to pass it.

Remembering the Aurora tragedy 14 years ago. 12 lives lost, 58 injured. Congress's inaction on gun violence is unacceptable. I'll always fight for commonsense reforms to keep our communities safe.

The American people want affordable groceries, lower housing costs, and safer communities, not another war overseas. Donald Trump promised no new wars. Instead, he chose a war with Iran and has repeatedly violated the ceasefire.

I voted to block $3.3B in unconditional military aid to Netanyahu. Netanyahu himself said he doesn't need our financial support. And I agree. Our federal budget must reflect our deepest values and protect human rights.👇🏾

As Illinois moves through its second major heat wave of the summer, I urge everyone to prioritize safety. Please check on your neighbors, especially seniors, stay in air-conditioned spaces, and drink plenty of water. Look out for your neighbors. View resources: keepcool.illinois.gov

For nearly a century, handguns have been barred from USPS mail to keep us safe. Now we know why the Trump Administration wants to rip up that rule: to line his family’s pockets. We cannot let President Trump gut background checks just so his family can profit.

📈 Inflation is up. 📈 Grocery prices are up. 📈 Energy bills are up. 📈 Healthcare premiums are up. Make no mistake: Donald Trump is FAILING to deliver on his promise to lower costs for hardworking families. Everyday Americans cannot wait while this administration refuses to act.

Trump's war with Iran has been a disaster from the start. Now he demands another $350 million to continue his reckless war. That’s enough money to restore the enhanced ACA premium tax credits permanently, lowering healthcare costs for 20 million Americans.

All families deserve to see a doctor without fearing government surveillance. According to a court filing, HHS leaked Medicaid data to ICE, violating the privacy of Medicaid enrollees and putting the health and wellbeing of millions at risk. 🧵

Republicans are celebrating one year since the Big Ugly Law, a horrible piece of legislation that steals from hardworking people and gives more to the wealthy. In my district alone, 27,000 people will pay more for their healthcare, while another 31,000 people could lose their coverage entirely.

From neighborhood playgrounds and forest preserves to the Pullman National Historical Park, our parks connect us to nature, our history, and each other. I'm proud that Illinois' Second District is home to so many incredible places to explore this National Parks and Recreation Month.

Republicans cut Medicaid by $880 billion. It’s cruel. It’s evil. It’s against our mandate as public servants. I will not remain silent while Republicans continue to take away healthcare access. Medicaid saves lives. Period.

Imagine what we could accomplish if Republicans and Trump put Americans first instead of wasting billions on chosen wars and vanity projects. That money could strengthen our schools, lower costs, expand healthcare, and invest in our communities.
