Did you know Social Security has NEVER missed a payment? Tomorrow, we celebrate #SocSec89 and every single on-time payment that has served as a beacon of economic stability earned over a lifetime of work. That's the promise of Social Security!

There are 94,828 #SocialSecurity recipients in IL-04 who receive $151 million in monthly benefits! 89 years after FDR signed the Social Security Act, it’s time to enhance benefits and extend the program’s solvency for the people who rely on their earned benefits.

Yesterday, I headed out with Congressman Chuy García on a tour of the Pilsen Neighborhood! For our first stop, we visited the The Resurrection Project. The Resurrection Project is dedicated to helping immigrants fight for their rights and is working to expand affordable housing to those in need.

Thanks to the #InflationReductionAct, today’s announcement from @CMSgov is great news for working-class people, including those across IL-04, who will save $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket prescription drug costs as a result of this historic action.

Nobody should ever choose between paying rent or affording their medication. Thanks to the Biden-Harris administration and the #InflationReductionAct, my constituents are saving $189 a year in Rx drug costs compared to 4 years ago. Democrats are putting people first.

This report exposes alarming failures in our immigration system. It's unacceptable that crucial oversight and protections are being neglected. We must demand accountability and reform to ensure justice and integrity in our immigration policies.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my colleague Rep. Bill Pascrell. He devoted his life to serving his constituents and the people of New Jersey. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this time.

In November 2022, I sent a letter to the FTC and the DOJ urging the agencies to investigate potential anticompetitive and illegal practices by RealPage Inc. I’m glad to see the DOJ is taking action in protecting renters and ensuring fair practices in housing.

On Women’s Equality Day, the Biden-Harris Administration recognizes the courage of the generations who fought tirelessly for the sacred cause of women’s suffrage and all those who continue to work toward a more equitable future for women and girls.

Today, we honor and celebrate the courageous leaders who fought for women’s right to vote in 1920. We also acknowledge that there is more to do to protect the right to vote and achieve full gender equality, especially for women of color.

Victory for Amazon drivers. The NLRB has ruled that Amazon Delivery Service Partners (DSP) are Amazon employees. It’s time for a union contract for all DSP workers, including those in Skokie, IL. #Union Strong.

First responders deserve good benefits and safe working conditions. As a former union member, I applaud the efforts of the Illinois Nurses Association members and urge both parties for a swift and fair contract. #UnionStrong fightbacknews.org/articles/nurse…

We're expecting record air travel numbers as we head into Labor Day weekend. Here are a few simple but important things to remember if you're flying soon. Safe travels!

It’s increasingly clear the “voter files purge” by Texas AG Paxton is really an effort to suppress the vote, particularly for Latino voters. But they’re messing with the wrong “abuelitas”.

Happy #LaborDay to all who support the #PROAct and #RaisetheWageAct! The best way to celebrate workers is by supporting legislation that protects the right to unionize and increases wages. As a member of the Labor Caucus I’m committed to strengthening worker power.
