@rep_jackson
Honored to represent #IL01 and committed to promoting policies that advance equality and justice. Proud Member of @HouseForeign and @HouseAgDems.
Thank you all once again for another productive virtual townhall. Your concerns were clear as day, Trump and Elon Musk are meddling with YOUR livelihoods and I want to do everything in my power to make sure your jobs, social security, and healthcare are safe. If you were unable…
Unlocking the Development Potential of Diaspora Communities and Helping Reduce Reliance on Foreign Aid
they REALLY don't want to talk about #Epstein for some odd reason...They’ll spin wild conspiracies, shut down debate, and literally send Congress home...just to avoid talking about #Epstein. Why not release the list? What’s @HouseGOP hiding? The American people deserve answers.…
🧵 New evidence has emerged of the most egregious weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history. Per President @realDonaldTrump's directive, I have declassified a @HouseIntel oversight majority staff report that exposes how the Obama Administration…
President Trump and world leaders must act now to stop Prime Minister Netanyahu from using food and medicine as weapons. What’s happening in Gaza is a humanitarian crisis that does not reflect our values. Netanyahu’s war crimes must be stopped.
Gaza faces a severe humanitarian crisis as Israeli restrictions on aid lead to widespread malnutrition and starvation, with hospitals overwhelmed by malnourished children. wapo.st/4o5O2Ek
Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson Applauds France’s Decision to Recognize Palestinian Statehood, Calls for Renewed Push Toward Peace
This week I had the honor of meeting with H.E. Robert Dussey, Foreign Minister of the Togolese Republic, to discuss regional security, bilateral cooperation, and Togo’s diplomatic efforts to advance peace and stability across West and Central Africa.
State Farm’s 27% rate hike is outrageous and unfair to Illinois families. Hardworking people shouldn’t pay more because of corporate greed or disasters in other states. I fully support @GovPritzker—Illinoisans need transparency, accountability, and real consumer protection.…
Bombshell revelation by Bradley Edwards on @Lawrence tonight. The Epstein birthday book is in the hands of the Epstein estate. Lawyers will turn it over. I will work with @OversightDems to subpoena. This is about the victims and justice.
🚨 We just won a forced subpoena of the Epstein files 8-2 in our @OversightDems subcommittee. This will force Chairman Comer to issue the subpoena. This is an enormous win by Oversight Democrats.
Turns out he was just using the Presidency to protect himself. Shocker. The American people deserve the whole truth. Release the files.

Six months into Trump’s second term, the assault on DEI is in full swing. This is anti-Blackness on steroids. It’s wholesale policy violence. I'm proud to join @RepPressley's fight to #DefendDEI and help ensure everyone in America can thrive.
The Trump administration’s decision to withdraw from the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is the latest in a long series of counterproductive decisions that undermine U.S. leadership on the world stage. Chicagoland is home to two UNESCO…

Today, I spoke before the House Foreign Affairs Committee to oppose H.R. 2633. This bill, driven by Extreme MAGA ideology, risks dismantling decades of diplomatic progress with #SouthAfrica. There is no #whitegenocide in South Africa: this false narrative must be rejected.
Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s passing is a heartbreaking loss. As Theo Huxtable, he gave a generation of young Black men a smart, relatable role model on primetime TV. His work on and off screen helped reshape how America sees Black families and how we see ourselves. Rest in power,…

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson Denounces Passage of Republican Rescission Bill
Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson Honors Nelson Mandela International Day-Upholding Democracy Over Division
House Republicans continue to robotically rubber stamp the extreme and unpopular Trump agenda. Every single House Democrat strongly opposed the reckless Republican rescissions bill. We remain unified in defending the American people. Extremists are doing the exact opposite.
Absolutely shameful: The GOP’s rescission bill rips $9 billion from foreign aid, NPR, and PBS. Millions worldwide: Afghan kids, Haitian families, Pakistani women...will lose food, medicine, hope. This isn’t fiscal responsibility, it’s cruelty and moral failure. #StopTheCuts
