Rock Island Arsenal is a pillar of the region and a center of innovation. But the Army executed significant personnel changes at the Arsenal without consulting Congress.
I joined @duckworth.senate.gov, Senator Grassley, & @ericsorensen.bsky.social to demand answers from the Army about this shift.

I come from a union family, and I know firsthand what unions have done for millions of Americans.
I spent my morning with the Chicago & Cook County Building & Construction Trades Council and the Illinois AFL-CIO to thank them for the hard work they do maintaining the American dream.
States have been forced to pick up the pieces after President Trump & Congressional Republicans’ disastrous health care cuts. Today, I met with the leadership of Get Covered Illinois to discuss how we can respond to these unprecedented attacks on Americans’ access to quality, affordable health care.

The Senate GOP budget: $70 billion for ICE. $0 to lower your costs.
Kash Patel should be replaced immediately.
Like I said… and Senate Republicans confirmed Kash Patel anyway.
Dangerous.
I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Barbara Flynn Currie.
From free preschool to legalizing same-sex marriage, Barbara fought tirelessly for the rights & dignities of everyone in our state. She paved the way for a generation of women in the Springfield Capitol.
Barbara will be missed.
If America hopes to remain competitive in a global market, we must reinvigorate our publicly-funded agriculture innovations. I joined Senator Moran to introduce the America Grows Act to boost USDA funding for more breakthroughs and to push our nation forward in the agricultural industry.
The President and his family don’t even try to hide their corruption.
Last year alone, they made at least $1.4 billion through backroom deals and legal threats.
And the American people are fed up.
Every week, someone is dying in ICE custody.
Republicans want to use the reconciliation process to give ICE a blank check to continue Trump’s cruel mass deportation policies.
I say we should negotiate basic reforms to these inhumane conditions instead.

Predatory for-profit colleges provide low-quality education, worthless degrees, & crushing student debt.
I sent a letter to Illinois principals, counselors, & teachers to encourage them to warn college-bound students & their families about the risks associated with attending for-profit colleges.
Senator Mike Lee and I disagree on a lot. But we both are deeply concerned about warrantless government surveillance of Americans.
Read our op-ed in NYT below about how we can reform FISA Section 702 to protect our national security while upholding Americans’ constitutional rights.
Another member of the Admin’s mass deportation apparatus is leaving after terrorizing families & communities with indiscriminate immigration raids.
I hope the departures at DHS will give Congressional Republicans pause before they pour more money into the President’s anti-immigrant agenda.

Today, I joined Senator Wicker, Senator Shaheen, and a bipartisan group of Senators to host Ukrainian Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko in the Capitol. In our meeting, I told her I stand with Ukraine and that Congress and President Trump must also play their parts to end Putin’s bloody war.
The decisions we make in Washington have a direct impact on Illinoisans. Today, @duckworth.senate.gov and I had a productive conversation with Champaign County First about how our federal government can best support Central Illinois’ economic development.
No one should fear for their lives or face imprisonment for standing up for democracy. I joined Senator Cruz and a bipartisan group of Senators to call on President Xi to release political prisoners Pastor Jin Mingri, Pastor Gao Quanfu and his wife Pang Yu, Dr. Gulshan Abbas, and Jimmy Lai.
Today, I met with Illinois members of the Joint Action Committee to discuss the dangerous rise of antisemitism, US-Israel relations, and gun violence. Hate in all its forms has no place in America, and I will continue to fight for the rule of law and democratic norms that shield us from such evils.
Transportation and infrastructure undergird prosperity and development in Illinois, and across America. Today, I met with the American Council of Engineering Companies of Illinois to discuss federal investments into infrastructure that would connect Americans and fuel economic growth.
