Illinois is going to lose billions of dollars because of President Trump and Congressional Republicans’ Medicaid cuts. Any affordability agenda must restore funding for Medicaid and ensure Americans can afford their health care.

Cryptocurrency is a notoriously risky asset that is vulnerable to financial crashes.
But Senate Republicans voted down my amendment that would have prevented American taxpayers from being on the hook to pay for a crypto bailout.
Secretary Noem has received more money than anyone in the history of the Department of Homeland Security.
She has used that money to hire thousands of new, undertrained ICE agents to attack our communities.
Her offer to testify before the Judiciary Committee in five weeks is woefully inadequate.
Now I am willing to give the White House and Republicans two weeks to work with Democrats to reform ICE and the campaign of terror we’ve witnessed in Chicago, Minneapolis, and across the country. After two weeks, I make no promises. (2/2)
Senate Democrats were successful in separating and passing the five bipartisan government funding bills from the DHS bill. (1/2)
I’m incredibly disturbed by the Justice Department’s continued gross mishandling of the Epstein files.
Victims deserve better.
America deserves better.
Following the latest Epstein files release, DOJ is still violating federal law.
The Justice Department was supposed to release the full files in December and explain their redactions to Congress by January 3rd.
The Justice Department continues to pursue prosecutions in the name of Donald Trump—not in the name of justice.
Key to the Fed’s effectiveness is its credibility and independence. Does Kevin Warsh have the guts to tell Trump his policy choices are wrong for the economy?
Whether Warsh values the reputation and independence of our nation’s central bank will determine if he is the right choice for the job.
Listen to what doctors are telling us will happen because of Republican health care cuts:
Longer wait times, higher premiums, closed hospitals, and needless suffering.
Americans have lost more than $333 million to crypto ATM scams. I introduced an amendment to a crypto bill that would give law enforcement the tools to go after these scams and their perpetrators, but Senate Republicans just voted it down.
Instead of going after drug smugglers, child predators, and human traffickers, the Trump Administration is wasting valuable resources targeting peaceful protestors in Chicago and Minneapolis. This Administration continues to make Americans less safe.
Today, @duckworth.senate.gov and I met with mayors from across Illinois to discuss federal funding for municipalities. It is always a pleasure to welcome Illinois officials to my office in the Capitol, and today was no exception!
There were already bipartisan negotiations to pass a cryptocurrency bill that would have provided more meaningful guardrails on the industry, but Republicans threw it out.
Why? So President Trump and his crypto allies can profit off their own personal cryptocurrencies.
The American people know what they saw in Minneapolis.
ICE and DHS are terrorizing communities, ripping apart families, and killing Americans.
We must rewrite the DHS bill to address these well-documented abuses. Anything less is a non-starter.
NEWS: Senate Republicans just voted to advance a partisan cryptocurrency bill without meaningful protections and transparency for consumers.
Democrats are ready to avoid a shutdown, but the DHS bill needs serious work. I’m glad that the White House is working with Leader Schumer to avoid a partial government shutdown and rein in ICE’s campaign of terror.
Americans are demanding change to ICE’s conduct—we must deliver for them.
J.D. Vance should focus on repairing the chaos his President has created, not on a Senator who has earned the respect of the Senate for her courage and effectiveness. (3/3)
Senator Duckworth has never backed away from a fight, even with a Vice President. She has fought for and won a seat in the Senate where she fights for veterans, those with disabilities, and the people of our state. (2/3)
