Episodes like Schakowsky’s fall have only amplified concerns, keeping the uncomfortable issue in the spotlight amid a punishing and high-stakes legislative session.
Earlier this year, Schakowsky announced she would not run for reelection in 2026, bringing an end to a long career in public service. She has represented her Illinois district in the U.S. House of Representatives since first winning federal office in 1998, following a seven-year stint as a state legislator.
She spent part of Wednesday filming an incendiary message for social media. “I’m not just a no on Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, I’m a HELL NO!” she wrote on X.
