Jan Schakowsky, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing Illinois' 9th district, recently shared her perspectives on several pressing issues through social media posts. Her comments focused on matters involving prominent figures such as Elon Musk and Donald Trump, touching upon themes of governmental scrutiny, job security for federal workers, and educational priorities.
On February 6, 2025, Schakowsky questioned "why co-President Musk is aggressively attacking USAID". She suggested that the timing was linked to an investigation into Starlink and accused billionaires of using their influence to avoid scrutiny.
Later that day, she criticized former President Trump in another post dated February 6, 2025. Schakowsky remarked "Trump bragged about how he was going to bring jobs back to America" but instead claimed he is removing them. She expressed support for federal workers who contribute significantly across various sectors.
On February 7, 2025, Schakowsky turned her attention to tax policies and education. She argued "For Trump and Musk, billionaire tax breaks are more urgent than teaching kids to read or count", emphasizing her opposition as a former elementary school teacher against any attempts to undermine the Department of Education.
