We need an immigration system rooted in dignity, not cruelty.
Let’s be clear: Medicare Advantage is not Medicare.
Medicare Advantage is private insurance that too often denies medically necessary care, restricts providers, and overcharges taxpayers by billions.

The Trump administration's decision to cut providers at the VA puts the health and security of those who’ve given so much to our country at risk.
We can't stay silent.

Americans deserve more than rhetoric.
They deserve action to lower prescription drug prices, protect earned benefits, defend fundamental rights, & build an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy & well connected.
Let's keep up the fight!

From small businesses to essential workers, immigrants are part of who we are.

Social Security and Medicare are vital programs and we must keep them strong. #SOTU
Trump & Republicans refused to extend the ACA premium tax credits - forcing 24 million Americans to face higher premiums.

THIS is Trump's health care plan: make you pay more, cover less. #SOTU
Let’s be clear: Trump’s tariffs are illegal.
We knew it and the Supreme Court agreed.
Working families should never pay the price for corruption and greed. We will keep fighting. #SOTU
Tax the rich! #SOTU
When someone serves this country, we owe them more than words.
We owe them health care, benefits, and support they can count on. #SOTU
I hear the same thing from families all across my district.
Costs are too high and paychecks are not stretching far enough.
Working families should not be squeezed while billionaires get tax breaks. #SOTU
I’m not attending tonight’s State of the Union.
I can’t sit there and pretend everything is fine while our rights are under attack and working families are struggling.
This isn’t normal. We should not treat it like it is. #SOTU

Big win for American families: the Supreme Court just struck down Trump’s harmful tariffs.
Hardworking people shouldn’t shoulder the cost of bad policy.

Wishing a joyful and prosperous Lunar New Year to all who celebrate!
May the Year of the Horse bring renewed energy, opportunity, and hope.
Here’s to a new year filled with good health, happiness, and continued progress toward a more inclusive and equitable future for all.
I was honored to work alongside him for many years and witness firsthand his unwavering commitment to justice.
My heart is with the entire Jackson family and all who loved him. May we honor his extraordinary life by carrying forward the fight for justice he so fiercely believed in.
My dear friend Rev. Jesse Jackson devoted his life to fighting for dignity, equality, and opportunity for all. From his transformative organizing and advocacy in Chicago to his leadership on the national stage, his courage and conviction inspired millions and strengthened the civil rights movement.
