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.
@RepDebDingell 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.schakowsky.house.gov/media/press-re…

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 have a plan to ensure prescription drugs are affordable and accessible for patients.
Congressman Greg Casar@RepCasar
We make your prescription drugs cheaper by saying if companies won’t make prescription drugs affordable, we’ll just make them ourselves. A vial of insulin goes from $300 a vial to $50. That's a bill from @janschakowsky and @SenWarren.

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.
This is a blow to democratic representation and will harm millions of underrepresented voters nationwide.
Congress must act to restore and strengthen these protections because our votes are our power and we will fight to protect them.

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.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
1,700 nurses in Chicago just filed a huge petition to unionize. The petition from the nurses at Chicago’s Rush University Medical Center demands better pay, improved benefits, and increased staffing to better support both nurses and patients. In 2025, almost 40% of registered nurses plan to leave the profession within the next five years, citing burnout, low pay, and heavy workloads as the root causes. If successful, RUMC nurses would join another 6,500 unionized nurses in Chicago.

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.
Their bill preempts state privacy laws, eliminates the right of individuals to sue over data abuses, and hands every violator a guaranteed get-out-of-jail-free card before any enforcement can even begin.
This is unacceptable, and I will oppose this legislation until we return to the strong bipartisan bill I led just two years ago. The American people deserve better.

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 @RepCasten, @RepDonBeyer, & I reintroduced legislation to hold bad actors accountable for rigging markets and raising prices. schakowsky.house.gov/media/press-re…

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.
PBS News@NewsHour
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is out of President Donald Trump's Cabinet, the administration announced Monday, after a series of alleged abuses of her position's power, including having an affair with a subordinate and drinking alcohol on the job. to.pbs.org/4cHjcgx

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.
We served together in the General Assembly, and I always valued her wisdom, her clarity, and her unwavering commitment to doing what was right. She was someone I could always count on, and I will miss her greatly.
Sending my love to her family and loved ones. May her memory be a blessing.

‘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.
Senator Dick Durbin@SenatorDurbin
Like most, I’ve experienced the nuisance of robocalls. These calls often prey on non-consenting consumers. It’s got to stop, which is why I joined @janschakowsky and @RepKevinMullin to introduce the Protecting American Consumers from Robocalls Act to protect Americans from scammers on the other end of the line.

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.
Now Congress must finish the job and restore fairness for fans.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
BREAKING: A jury has found Live Nation and Ticketmaster to be an illegal monopoly that overcharges fans. After the federal government settled the case, 34 states kept pursuing the giant ticket and concert company. Now, the states have won.

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. nytimes.com/2026/04/10/bus…

Just two weeks ago, @SenWarren 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.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
The Delta CEO won't commit to lowering ticket prices if jet fuel prices go down. When asked if his company would lower prices if fuel costs dropped, he instead said that lower fuel costs would "certainly help us boost our margins this year and clearly into next year as well.”

Someone this unstable, whose behavior endangers the nation, shouldn't remain in office.
The 25th Amendment must be invoked.
If Trump’s Cabinet is too cowardly to act, Congress must do its duty and begin impeachment proceedings before more damage is done.schakowsky.house.gov/media/press-re…

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.
