Jan Schakowsky, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Illinois' 9th district, recently shared her views on social media regarding the impact of the Trump Administration's policies and actions. Schakowsky has been vocal about her concerns for senior citizens and government transparency.

On February 3, 2025, Schakowsky expressed concern over the "chaos, confusion, and fear" attributed to the Trump Administration's policies. She highlighted her visit to Kenmore Plaza in Chicago, where she engaged with seniors who are alarmed by current events. Schakowsky urged former President Trump to prioritize supporting seniors over billionaires. "The chaos, confusion, and fear caused by the Trump Administration is having real impacts."

Later that day, Schakowsky criticized Elon Musk's access to government information, labeling him as an "unelected billionaire." She argued that Trump's focus appears more aligned with aiding the ultra-wealthy rather than safeguarding sensitive information pertinent to Social Security and Medicare recipients. Schakowsky assured constituents that they would not remain silent on these issues. "Elon Musk is an unelected billionaire who should have zero access to our government's private information."

In a subsequent post on February 3, 2025, Schakowsky directed followers to view her full statement through a provided link. "For my full statement, please see below:"
