This morning, Chicago lays to rest Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights icon, our neighbor, and my constituent who shaped the fight for justice.

As I attend his memorial today, I honor his powerful legacy and impact on our city and the world.

Rest in power, my friend.

Guns are the #1 killer of American kids.

Yet the gun industry still markets ARโ€‘15s to children and evades consumer protection rules that apply to every other common household item.

I introduced two bills to hold the gun lobby accountable and protect our kids.

President Trump fired Kristi Noem because he knew Congress was going to remove her.

My impeachment efforts against Noem gained momentum every time she opened her mouth and terrorized our country.

Itโ€™s time for her to go home and never enter public serviceโ€”or adopt a dogโ€”again.

Over 60 days into 2026, and the Republican-created healthcare crisis is still impacting millions of families across the United States.

Families are forced to choose between groceries and healthcare coverage.

I wonโ€™t stop fighting for affordable healthcare access.

You're FIRED.

Good riddance, Kristi Noem.

Trump mulls Noem firing Trumpย has quietly asked Hill Republicans if he should fire Homeland Security Secretaryย Kristi Noem.

Accountability cannot hinge on political calculations.

Kristi Noem has terrorized communities, and unleashed her Gestapo agents on our cities. She must go.

Iโ€™m leading the articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem.

Trump promised farmers a โ€œGolden Age,โ€ but over 400 farms in Illinois were driven out of business.

Now, House Republicans are pushing a flawed farm bill that ignores the biggest challenges farmers face in our country: President Trump and his tariffs.

Donald Trumpโ€™s war in Iran endangers American lives abroad and raises costs for Americans here at home.

Meanwhile, House GOP will use Trumpโ€™s war to jam through funding for Noemโ€™s DHS and ICE.

Republicansโ€™ vision for our country is ruining lives.

Today is #RailDay2026. I look forward to welcoming freight rail leaders to my office to discuss their impact on Illinoisโ€™ 2nd District.

With 6,769 track miles in Illinois, rail supports good-paying jobs, strengthens our supply chains, and keeps 12.5M tons of greenhouse gases out of our atmosphere.

Iโ€™m impeaching Kristi Noem for abusing her power. DHS has weaponized administrative subpoenas to demand that major tech companies hand over your information.

Iโ€™m asking those billionaire-owned companies if theyโ€™re complying with DHSโ€”or if they even try to fight for your First Amendment rights.

Trump claims to put America first. But heโ€™s spending billions of taxpayer money waging war abroad with no end in sight and endangering American troops.

Meanwhile, heโ€™s stolen healthcare, food security, and economic opportunity away from hardworking Americans.

Iโ€™m grateful for the support of @ACLU.org and 26 other Members of Congress whoโ€™re demanding answers from Big Tech.

I will not be silent while free speech is attacked.

John Woodrow Cox (@johnwoodrowcox.bsky.social) My latest, on the secretive legal weapon Homeland Security is using to target Americans. Last fall, Jon, 67, emailed a DHS attorney, urging mercy for an asylum seeker. Hours later, DHS subpoenaed hisโ€ฆ

I was horrified to read this reporting by @JohnWoodrowCox, who exposed how DHS uses this little-known legal weapon to police peopleโ€™s free speech. Some tech companies donโ€™t even give you a heads up if theyโ€™re handing over your data.

Big Tech is handing over your private informationโ€”emails, texts, social mediaโ€”to Sec. Noemโ€™s DHS if you disagree with Trump.

That suppresses your First Amendment rights.
With @jayapal.house.gov, Iโ€™m asking these billionaire-owned companies whether they comply or challenge DHS.

Federal immigration agents are out of control, and the complacency from Secretary Noem is appalling. No one is being held accountable.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem. Kidnapping, abuse, and leaving people for dead cannot be ignored. Our communities deserve justice.

Iโ€™ve filed to impeach Secretary Kristi Noem, but the fight isnโ€™t over.

Under her reckless administration, federal agents have killed and deported U.S. citizens.

I wonโ€™t stand by. She will be held accountable, and real change will come to DHS.

Energy bills in US have increased 13% since Trump took office, new report finds The amount of money Americans are paying toward their energy bills has increased since President Donald Trump took office earlier this year, according to a new report.

Families are paying 13% more on their energy bills because this administration is doubling down on drilling for fossil fuels and moving away from clean energy.

Spoiler Alert: That wonโ€™t lower your cost at home; it is going to raise it.

Every child, regardless of zip code, deserves a high-quality education.

But Trumpโ€™s Department of Education wants to rewind to a time when classrooms were segregated.

I will keep fighting for federal investments that ensure every student, in every community, has the resources to succeed.

Kristi Noem, youโ€™re right: We donโ€™t want to live like this anymore.

You are breaking the law and letting your agents cause death and destruction in cities across the country.

This is why Iโ€™m impeaching you.

Congress must pass the War Powers Resolution, since this President cannot initiate military action without Congressional approval.

You canโ€™t call yourself the "Peace President" while bombing Iran, destabilizing the entire Middle East, and making our own country more vulnerable.

President Trump must answer to the American people and justify why he potentially entered us into another costly, prolonged war.

In their Big Ugly Bill, Trump and House Republicans slashed healthcare for 16 million Americans and gutted Medicaid by $1 billion.

Meanwhile, President Trump gave ICE a $75 billion slush fund to terrorize our communities.
Trumpโ€™s budget exposes their true priorities.
