On this day in 1865, the majority of states ratified the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery in America.

We must never forget the horrors of slavery and must continue to recommit ourselves to the pursuit of liberty and justice for all.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill isn’t just stealing your health care – it’s going to cut $5.8 BILLION from Illinois’ economy and put 49,000 jobs at risk.

Instead of cutting health care and shrinking our economy, we need to invest in America's growth.
Trump cuts could shrink Illinois economy by $10B, report says
Researchers at an organized labor-tied think tank also painted a sobering picture for state lawmakers who are tasked with mitigating the effects of the funding cuts.

160 years ago today, the 13th Amendment was ratified to end slavery, with one major exception: punishment for a crime.

The legacy of slavery lives on as people behind bars are still coerced into working for mere pennies or nothing at all.

It's long overdue to abolish slavery in all its forms.

President Trump’s schedule:

9 AM Ballroom Design Meeting
10 AM Cut Medicaid
11 AM Brainstorm a concept of a healthcare plan. TELL NO ONE.
12 PM Nap during cabinet meeting
1 PM Reminisce good times with pal Jeffrey Epstein

He simply doesn’t have time to make life more affordable.

President Trump is not above the Constitution. We’ll see him in the highest court in the land.

The Trump Administration finds new ways to pull the rug out from under Americans every day.

And now they're putting babies in danger.

Illinois just enacted a law to provide our own science-based recommendations to protect access to vaccines so families get the care they need.
US vaccine advisers say not all babies need a hepatitis B shot at birth
A federal vaccine advisory committee has voted to end a longstanding recommendation that all U.S. babies get the hepatitis B vaccine on the day they’re born.

Today’s announcement from U.S. Steel is welcome news for the residents and proud steelworkers of Granite City.

Driven by consumer demand, the decision will result in new good-paying jobs and significant investment in the community.

Illinois’ strength comes from the local leaders who show up every day — at City Hall, down in Springfield, and across our communities — to better the lives of the residents they serve.

I am honored to earn the endorsement of these dedicated leaders!

Democrats need to stand up and take the fight directly to the extreme GOP, and that’s exactly what I will do when I am in Congress.

It is very disappointing to hear this news today, but unfortunately not a surprise. Without an extension of the ACA subsidies, health care costs will rise for millions of Americans. This is why we cannot continue to cave when the momentum is in our favor.

Donald Trump—if you are truly pro-IVF, then defend it for our heroes.

Tell your Speaker of the House to fall in line and stop single-handedly trying to kill a provision that would cover IVF for military families.

Enough promises. Let’s deliver.
