This week, I fought to hold HHS accountable for illegally halting $10 b for child care & services in IL, MN, CA, CO, & NY and child care funds across the US. The GOP rejected my effort to penalize HHS’s illegal actions. Thank you AG Raoul for suing to stop the cruel GOP efforts.

Thousands of children and families are being harmed out of political revenge. It’s unpresidential and un-American, yet HHS has illegally stopped $1 b of our funds.
HHS must immediately release the $1 b in child care and social services funding that our state is rightfully owed.

Congressman Danny Davis: I have no respect for authoritarian rule, anywhere.
President Trump does not get to decide war, choose foreign leaders, or bypass Congress.
That’s not democracy. That’s executive overreach.

The U.S. Department of Justice's opinion declaring Minority Serving Institution programs unconstitutional denies both the constitutionality and the necessity of targeted efforts designed to expand educational access for historically marginalized communities.

I’m joining my Democratic colleagues to demand House Republicans vote NOW to extend ACA tax credits. GOP inaction means health insurance premiums will skyrocket on Jan 1. We need a clean extension today to keep healthcare affordable. 📉🏥 #Healthcare #ACA

I rise in strong opposition & could never vote for this Big, Bad, Inhumane & Ugly bill because it will wreck health care delivery, take food from hungry children, sentence seniors to early deaths, end jobs, and ruin our economy just to give the super rich more power & wealth.

Once again, Trump acts like a king—ignoring Congress, dismissing intelligence, and pushing us toward war. The people want peace and diplomacy, not bombs. Let’s negotiate, not destroy. Like the song, War: What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. #PeaceNotWar #DiplomacyFirst

In the Ways & Means hearing, I stood against the GOP's cruel "One Big Beautiful" bill. It rips health care from 16M Americans—including 498K in IL—slashes child & family programs, and gives tax breaks to the rich. It's Robin Hood in reverse. I reject it. #ProtectFamilies
