Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)

As we approach Memorial Day, I honor the ultimate sacrifice our troops have made and demand we bring them home from this reckless, unconstitutional war.

In the dead of night, Republicans pushed the 2026 Farm Bill which plants seeds of inequality and calls it reform. I voted NO on this sham Farm Bill and will continue to fight for robust funding, meaningful policies, and real support for all Americans

On Jackie Robinson Day, we celebrate the ballplayer, the soldier, the trailblazer, and the patriot who broke the color barrier and forced this nation to confront its conscience. We must continue to tell the full story of America to give the next generation the courage to keep pushing forward.

I spoke to @cbschicago.bsky.social this morning about Trump's proposed military draft. Hegseth’s Pentagon purge of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the High Brass has removed leaders of the highest caliber without any public clarity. It's time to remove Hegseth.

Mrs. Bettye Jean Mason Odom was so many things- an accomplished actress, model, television host, author, entrepreneur, and educator. But most of all, she was a trailblazer whose recent passing marks the loss of a visionary leader and beloved pillar of the Chicago community.

I provided testimony to @democrats-appropriations.house.gov RM @frankel.house.gov and Chair Diaz-Balart for FY27 NatSec/State Member Day calling out @secrubio.govpeeps.us for letting millions of dollars in medicine expire rather than support the most vulnerable women around the world.

I provided testimony before the FY27 Subcommittee that used to be in charge of global aid and development, not only as a legislator, but as a witness to a moment in our nation’s history where those in power no longer strive to prevent war or promote peace and prosperity for all.

As Muslims around the world gather today to celebrate Eid, I am proud to recognize Kamran Khan. Arriving in the U.S. at 18, he helped pave the way for the first White House Eid celebration in 1996.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson recognized former NBA MVP Derrick Rose in a House floor speech, commemorating his jersey retirement and his legacy as one of Chicago’s most influential sports figures.

@HouseDemocrats know that the American people deserve better. That is why we are ready, willing and able to quickly reach a bipartisan agreement that reopens the government, ensures #SNAP benefits are paid, and lowers health care costs. #MakeAmericaHungryAgain

It’s day 28 of the shutdown, and I know many people are worried about what it means for them and their families. Join me this Thursday, October 30, at 6 p.m. CT at Chicago State for an in-person town hall to discuss its impacts and the resources available to help RSVP here: uscongress.app/kP32oet4y

American troops should never be deployed against American citizens.
