Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)

Congratulations to President Lula da Silva on his reelection, and to the Brazilian people for shaping the future of their nation at the ballot box. I look forward to deepening the partnership between our two countries for working families, democracy, and peace across our hemisphere. 🇧🇷

I’m proud to have earned a perfect 100 on the Human Rights Campaign‘s 119th Congressional Scorecard, because equality is a promise I made to every family in the First District. While countless Americans face relentless attacks from this administration, I’ll keep standing with them on every vote!

Congratulations to the Chicago Bears and Caleb Williams for a GREAT game yesterday against the Patriots, Chicago loves you! #Chicago #BearDown

Every American deserves to worship without fear, and that starts with leaders who lower the temperature instead of raising it. I stand with my colleague Congressman Raja, his family, and every Hindu and Indian American family in Illinois.

Today at LaSalle Street Station, I joined Metra to unveil North America’s first battery-powered trainset, backed by $169.3M in federal funding. 🚆⚡ The South Side and south suburbs deserve clean, reliable transit, and I’ll keep fighting to bring it home. #IL01 #Metra #CleanTransit

Today we celebrate the first peoples of this land and the Native families across Chicagoland whose history, culture, and strength continue to shape who we are. Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! #IndigenousPeoplesDay

What Hasan did at Fort Hood was evil and nothing excuses it, but a government that streams executions for public consumption is borrowing from the playbook of regimes like Iran. America should show the world what the rule of law looks like, not put death on a livestream.

As of today, the Big UGLY Bill's cuts to SNAP and Medicaid are hitting home for families across IL-01. If you or someone you love lost benefits or coverage, call (800) 843-6154 for SNAP or 1-877-805-5312 for Medicaid. Be sure to share this so no one in our district is left without help.

Black youth deserve better than this! They deserve the same urgency, that any family in America would demand for their own child. I stand with the Wells family in calling on The Justice Department to take a full, independent look at this case. We owe Nolan and his family no less than the truth!

Hands off of the Kennedy Center!! Thank you to Representative Don Beyer for having me this evening, we will not let this administration erase our history! #KennedyCenter #HandsOffOurHistory #HandsOffTheSmithsonian #HandsOffTheKennedyCenter

When this president locks the door on journalists, he is locking the door on the American people. A free press belongs to the people, not to the powerful. We will not be quiet, and we will not look away!!

It was a pleasure to run into my friend @donlemonofficial.bsky.social yesterday. President Trump’s projections are his confessions, and we all know it! #IL01 #DonLemon #PresidentTrump

The Trump Administration is attacking our museums as "anti-American." Let's call it what it is: a brazen attempt to rewrite our past. Proud to join @repstansbury.bsky.social and @repkweisimfume.bsky.social to introduce the Smithsonian Integrity and Historical Independence Act. #HandsOffOurHistory

🚨BREAKING: Republican leaders are running from the vote to hold Secretary Hegseth accountable for an unauthorized war. Turns out the fastest way to protect Pete Hegseth is to shut down Congress. Mission accomplished!

Sixty-three years ago, four little girls were killed in a Birmingham church. Yesterday I stood with faith leaders and colleagues at the Smithsonian to honor them and answer one call: Black history is American history. We refuse to let it be erased. #IL01 #BlackHistory #Smithsonian

Today we honor Mexican Independence Day and the men and women who answered the Grito de Dolores in 1810. In the First District, our Mexican American families, businesses, and neighbors make our communities stronger. Proud to stand with you for dignity, equality, and opportunity. ¡Viva México!

Trump lied about mail voting for years while voting by mail himself. This year he tried to make the lie law, using the Postal Service to block ballots. The Supreme Court said no, 7-2. Your right to vote survived his attack. Now go use it in November.

My statement supporting Lord Simon Woolley.

When nurses speak up for patient safety, they deserve support, not suspensions. My office stood with National Nurses United at Olympia Fields today in solidarity, because no nurse should be fired for advocating for the people in their care. #ProtectNurses

Great meeting with Costa Rica's Trade Minister Manuel Tovar Rivera and Ambassador Douglas Soto Campos as Costa Rica marks 205 years of independence. On its Independence Day, I salute a nation that has kept peace without an army for 75+ years.

Hispanic Heritage Month honors the history, culture, and hard work of Latino families across District 1. It's also a reminder of the work ahead: fair pay, strong schools, a democracy that includes every voice. I'm proud to stand with the Latino community. #IL01 #HispanicHeritageMonth

Today we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the first responders and everyday Americans who ran toward danger to help others. We hold their families in our hearts and recommit ourselves to the unity this nation showed. We will never forget.

Secretary Mullin is fanning the flames of hatred and has no business running this department. Resign NOW! Every person of conscience must speak up when our government degrades people like this. It’s vile, it’s racist, and it must stop. How much longer will we allow this pattern of hatred?

The US Ambassador to the UN wants the UN to cut off the weapons fueling Sudan’s war. Start at home: halt US arms sales to the countries arming the RSF. The bills exist. This administration opposed them. Use the power we have to stop the killing!

Congratulations to Frances Tiafoe on his third US Open semifinal. The son of Sierra Leonean immigrants who grew up around the courts where his father worked, Frances turned long odds into history. The American story at its best. Rooting for you, Frances!

Thank you, @chuygarcia.house.gov, for providing a platform to acknowledge the families targeted in our communities and to stand together in their defense. Your immigration status does NOT determine the status of your humanity, and Chicago will never stop standing up for one another.

I wholeheartedly welcome the UK’s ban on trade with illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestine territories. Expansion, land seizures, and settler violence are fueling the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. International law must mean something, and accountability must apply to all.

Thank you, Director St. Louis, and @pcgtw.bsky.social for continuing the pressure on this administration. My colleagues and I are demanding answers to the 30+ "deals," many negotiated in secret, by the Trump Administration jonathanjackson.house.gov/media/press-...

How much of what we call “fact” is just what we’ve been taught to see? For generations, maps shrank Africa. Now the UN backs more accurate ones. The vote: 164-1, with the US the lone no. This is about accuracy and respect. America should lead in drawing a fair world, not resist it.

Sec. Hegseth gutted Civilian Harm Mitigation & Response because it was “woke.” EVERY SINGLE COMMANDER pushed back, but Hegseth went against our legal -& moral- imperative anyway. Since then, the US military has killed hundreds of civilians. Hegseth & Trump's illegal, reckless war on Iran must end.

Today is the 25th Overdose Awareness Day. As we grieve loved ones we’ve lost, let us recommit to prevention & invest in harm reduction that supports people struggling with substance use disorders. Overdose is preventable and help is available - helplineil.org #IOAD2026 #OverdoseAware #EndOverdose

Pathetic -- Google is now referring to Lake Ontario as "Lake America"
