The Supreme Court’s latest decision is a step backward for voting rights and fair representation. Every American deserves an equal voice at the ballot box. I stand with civil rights leaders calling for action to protect voters and uphold our democracy. Read:

Today, we honor Dr. King not with words, but with service. As we face renewed attacks on our democracy, we remember that progress is never inevitable. Let’s organize and recommit to the "Beloved Community" he envisioned.

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.

ACA Extension: Today’s victory proves a simple truth: when Democrats stay unified, listen to the people, & remain focused on results, we win. A people united will never be defeated. Democrats are on a roll! We are fighting for ordinary, everyday Americans.

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.
