Yesterday, I enjoyed sitting in on a @CommonThreadsUS Cooking Skills & World Cuisine class, which teaches 3rd-8th grade students about cultures & food from around the world. I am proud to have secured Federal funding last year to support this program! https://t.co/bVhMywshCR

J. Edgar Hoover's FBI harassed Americans who challenged the status quo—unfairly targeting notable figures such as like Aretha Franklin & lesser-known people making a difference. I introduced the COINTELPRO Full Disclosure Act to expose this abuse of power. https://t.co/IfzsPMmUcK
With 528k jobs created in July & unemployment at a 50-year low, Democrats are succeeding in putting #PeopleOverPolitics & restoring our economy after the pandemic. More work needs to be done, but we have made significant progress for working families. https://t.co/Q6Yz01SPyH
Thrilled that the Friends Health Center opening was a success. The #SouthSide needs a robust medical center to serve low to moderate income patients in a medically underserved area, which is why I secured $250k in federal funding for the relocation. https://t.co/ZYXMUzZLDu
The @washingtonpost reports that as of end of May 2022, more than 311k students have been exposed to #GunViolence since the #Columbine shooting in 1999. Stronger #GunViolencePrevention laws protect our children. #GunViolenceAwarenessMonth https://t.co/VkxCSaclJn

When the history of this era is written, Putin’s war on Ukraine will have left Russia weaker, and the rest of the world stronger. #SOTU

HAPPENING NOW: The Emmett Till #AntilynchingAct is being debated on the House floor. Despite more than 200 attempts, lynching has NEVER been designated a federal crime — meaning that 99% of lynching perpetrators escaped punishment. It's time to correct this historic injustice.
It’s a historic day. Retweet if you are READY to see #KetanjiBrownJackson on the Supreme Court! ⚖️⚖️
Ahmaud Arbery’s murder was a modern-day lynching — a clear-cut case of a hate crime. A resounding and unequivocal guilty verdict was the only possible correct outcome of this case. #AhmaudArbery

In 1993, Carol Moseley-Braun became the first Black woman to serve in the U.S. Senate & the first female senator from Illinois. She was a tireless advocate for civil rights issues and education and was later appointed by President Clinton to be Ambassador to New Zealand. #IL01BHM https://t.co/5rjfNYZK5m
Oscar Stanton De Priest was the first Black American elected to Congress in the 20th century and the first Black Member of Congress from the North. His election marked a new era of Black political organization in urban areas. #IL01BHM #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/F6ShVGD7mF
A big and heartfelt congratulations to @KendallCoyne and @Abbey18Murphy, two superstar hockey players from #IL01 who helped bring home the silver medal for @TeamUSA in Women’s Hockey at the 2022 #WinterOlympics! You make us proud!✨ https://t.co/rrZ6KyVH5p
Harold Washington represented IL-01 before becoming the first Black Mayor of Chicago in 1983. His election rocked Chicago's political establishment and galvanized a civic awakening that inspired Black Americans across the country to run for office. #IL01BHM https://t.co/arGO4iYaHl
There is a tremendous legacy of Black leadership, Black culture, and Black history that comes from Illinois’s 1st District — a legacy I am humbled and honored to be part of. This #BlackHistoryMonth, I’ll be highlighting a few of the individuals who helped create it. #IL01BHM

Black history is American history. This month, we reflect on the progress we have made — and the battles we have yet to win — in the continued struggle against systemic racism and our fight for freedom, justice, and equality for all people. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/ubdPvIxdFl

The @FTC has found "scant evidence" in favor of the repair restrictions imposed by auto manufacturers — restrictions that benefit car companies and licensed dealerships at the expense of vehicle owners and mom-and-pop repair shops. It's time to change that.https://t.co/c99iIegVId
