Rep. Jonathan L. Jackson

Thank you @repthomasmassie for your courage to step away from the GOP and take action against Pete Hegseth! While I unfortunately missed yesterday’s procedural vote, you know you’ve always had my support, and the work isn’t over! Pete Hegseth MUST be impeached!

This Veterans Day, we honor every member who has honorably and bravely served our country, and we honor the families who served right alongside them. Their sacrifice built the freedoms we too often take for granted, and the best way to thank them is to make sure every veteran comes home to the care, opportunity, and respect they earned.

Tonight, House Republicans voted to send the articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to the Judiciary Committee, a move designed to stall accountability without a direct vote on the merits. While en route to the floor to oppose that motion, a traffic incident and a police-escorted bus caused a delay that resulted in the vote closing before I, along with other Members, could reach the chamber. I have since entered my NO vote in the Congressional Record. I remain firm in my position that Secretary Hegseth must be held accountable and impeached.

Last Friday, I spoke with @JudyHsuABC7 on @ABC7Chicago about Stephen Miller being appointed as White House Chief of Staff, despite his egregious record as a white supremacist and a long-time champion of inhumane immigration tactics. It’s clear that President Trump and his administration have learned nothing from last Tuesday’s election, and it’s our job in Congress to make sure these bad actors are being held accountable!

Back on the Hill and ready to work! Stay tuned for more updates throughout the week as we continue to fight for our communities back home.

Affordability AND Accountability! I’m proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with @RepRobertGarcia in the fight against corruption. The Trump Administration’s actions will NOT stand!

Our country cannot afford to turn our backs on South Africa or undermine the broader U.S.-Africa partnership. I’m calling on President Trump and his administration to reconsider their decision to terminate South Africa’s participation in the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), because I believe our foreign policy must be guided by diplomacy, mutual respect, economic cooperation, and a recognition of Africa’s growing importance in global affairs! #AGOA #SouthAfrica #ForeignAffairs #TrumpAdministration

How can we keep telling immigrant families to follow the rules when they keep being punished for doing so? This boy's family did exactly what they were supposed to by bringing him to his check-in, only for ICE to take him away! An 8-year-old shouldn't be punished for showing up. This child belongs back home with his family and back in his third grade classroom.

Happy Diwali to our Hindu, Sikh, Jain, and Buddhist neighbors celebrating the Festival of Lights across the 1st District and around the world! As families light their diyas and gather around tables filled with loved ones, Diwali reminds us that light always overcomes darkness and hope always overcomes despair. The traditions you share make our communities brighter and stronger, and I’m grateful to celebrate alongside you. May this season fill your homes with joy and your year ahead with peace and prosperity! #Diwali #IL01

3 days after the American people rejected the GOP's agenda, the President chose to put Stephen Miller, a white supremacist and long-time champion of inhumane immigration tactics, at the helm of the White House! Instead of listening to Americans, Trump is DOUBLING DOWN on his cruelty! Has this administration learned nothing?

District 1, we couldn’t have done this without you! I’m grateful for the continued support I’ve received from this community, and I’m proud to be afforded the opportunity to continue this fight in D.C. and bring home resources for Chicago! #BlueWave #SouthSide #Chicago #Midterms #IL01
