I brought the issue of maternal mortality to Congress nearly a decade ago because nothing was being done.
Black women face higher rates of death, stillbirths, and pregnancy-related complications.
Now, I stand with many of my colleagues dedicated to improving health outcomes.
Black women are still being failed by our healthcare system before, during, and after pregnancy.
President Trump attacks our healthcare and creates fertile ground for racism to grow in our hospitals.
That’s unacceptable.
More work must be done to save Black moms.
Welcome Home, Artemis II.
Your mission demonstrated the best of American leadership in science and exploration.
Thank you to the countless scientists, engineers, and astronauts who made this mission possible.
I cannot wait to hear more about what you saw and what comes next.

Omg! Animorphs is getting a modern TV series! I grew up on these books, and they were also weirdly integral to my own internal coming out experience.
Also KA Applegate is a beloved YA author who is NOT transphobia and has a trans daughter :)

Minneapolis was a wake-up call.
I am standing with @krisbrown.bradyunited.org to ask the tough questions.
Alex Pretti was a legal gun owner, yet DHS agents killed him while the gun lobby stayed SILENT.
More guns don’t mean more safety; ICE and CBP need to get the hell out of our cities.
Underqualified, undertrained ICE agents replacing TSA while you block their paychecks?
That’s dangerous, not “help.” Get serious, Donald.
Food is medicine.
I’m fighting to expand access to nutritious foods, lower costs, and save lives. Your zip code shouldn’t determine your health.

This women is a true 💎.
So disappointed and heartbroken right now.
Illinois, I got my eyes on you!
Go vote!

Stop 2!
JB Pritzker says he wants to be judged by his heart, not his wallet.
But when you bankroll 73% of a campaign and strong-arm the rest of the field into line, the money is the message.
If that’s what his “heart” looks like… yikes.
Our team is fired up for the final three days 🔥
Come rally with me and have a little Sunday Funday getting out the vote in Lakeview!

Billionaires and dark money are trying to buy this election—but the candidate with the most money is not the most qualified candidate.
I’m unbought and unbossed. That’s how I was raised.
Check the record. I’ll take my winning record to the Senate for all of Illinois.
A bit about why I’m supporting @robinlynnekelly.bsky.social to be our next Senator from Illinois and I hope you will too!

See you there!
I’m aware of the tornado that moved through Kankakee County tonight.
Please stay safe and follow guidance from local officials.
I’ll continue monitoring the situation and thinking of everyone affected.
Congressman Jim Clyburn, welcome to Chicago!
Thanks for the great conversation about how Black history impacts current events, and how we can move forward.
In Congress, Jim sees how I deliver for our community every time. I’m grateful for his support, leadership, and friendship.
73% of Juliana’s Campaign is funded by JB Pritzker… let that sink in….
You're FIRED.
Good riddance, Kristi Noem.
Over 60 days into 2026, and the Republican-created healthcare crisis is still impacting millions of families across the United States.
Families are forced to choose between groceries and healthcare coverage.
I won’t stop fighting for affordable healthcare access.
President Trump fired Kristi Noem because he knew Congress was going to remove her.
My impeachment efforts against Noem gained momentum every time she opened her mouth and terrorized our country.
It’s time for her to go home and never enter public service—or adopt a dog—again.
Accountability cannot hinge on political calculations.
Kristi Noem has terrorized communities, and unleashed her Gestapo agents on our cities. She must go.
I’m leading the articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem.
😂
In 2026, true leadership isn't coming from the DC; it’s coming from our athletes.
Seeing TeamUSA include the Gaudreau children in this photo is the kind of American spirit I’ll always stand behind.
This is the unity we are missing in DC. 🇺🇸🙏
If flags were lowered for Charlie Kirk then Rev. Jackson more than deserves the same respect.
I’m asking President Trump to lower flags at the White House immediately to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. and his countless contributions to American history. They should remain lowered throughout Black History Month.
I brought the issue of Black maternal health and morbidity to Congress nearly 10 years ago. I’m proud to have introduced the first maternal healthcare bill in Congress and I was able to pass into law an extension from 60 days to 1 year for Medicaid postpartum care.
