President Trump’s endgame is clear. He wants to rig our elections to ensure Republicans never lose again.

Last night, my colleagues and I wished Canadian Ambassador Kirsten Hillman farewell after her six years of service as ambassador.
While President Trump has introduced headwinds into the U.S.-Canada relationship, Congress continues to strongly support our neighbor up north.
Hospitals and clinics across rural America have been pushed to the brink because Republicans slashed Medicaid & ACA coverage.
I met with Illinois members of the National Rural Health Association to discuss how we can preserve access to quality, affordable care in the face of these devastating cuts.
U.S. companies reap the rewards of government programs but use foreign tax havens to scheme their way out of paying their fair share of taxes. I introduced the Stop Corporate Inversions Act to close this loophole to ensure American families and small businesses aren’t left behind.
Science has proven that the climate crisis is real, and our nation put in place critical rules that ensured that pollutants did not clog our air further. More than a decade later, it’s a dark day as President Trump shreds the principle that EPA relies on to eliminate climate pollution.
Yesterday, the Illinois Northern District Court upheld a law that removes debit and credit card swipe fees from the tip and tax portion of your bills.
I helped limit debit card swipe fees nationwide in 2010, and I am pleased to see states like Illinois follow my lead to protect consumers.
Finally—this news is way overdue. The National Guard should’ve never been sent to Chicago or any other city.
And it’s time for the Trump Administration to end its mass deportation campaign of terror.

I’m thankful for the proud Americans on this jury for upholding the rule of law and refusing to indict my fellow Senators Kelly and Slotkin.
But I’m still immensely concerned.
As we have seen in other cases meant to punish Trump’s enemies, his Justice Department will try again.

Higher education is one of the best investments we can make in America’s future. @duckworth.senate.gov and I met with members & leaders of the Illinois Community College Trustees Association to discuss how we can support Illinois community colleges and ensure they are accessible and affordable.
Textbook costs are an overlooked barrier to college accessibility.
That’s why I’ve fought to secure $61 million in funding for the Open Textbook Pilot Program since 2018, including $7 million this year.
This money bridges educational divides & ensures students get the most out of their courses.
Yesterday, I joined @warren.senate.gov to call out the Trump Administration’s dismantling of the CFPB.
For 15 years, CFPB protected consumers from Wall Street and shady lending practices, saving them more than $21 billion. Congress must stand up and choose borrowers over billionaires.
Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election.
And now, he’s planning to subvert the 2026 election.
A weaponized FBI raided an election center in Georgia last month… on President Trump’s order.
Republicans’ response? To double down on his conspiracy theories and hold a series of EIGHT hearings to justify them.
The Trump Administration continues to disparage my colleagues who have served our nation.
It’s an honor to serve with Senator Kelly and Senator Slotkin.
Threatening them with punishment is an insult to service members and public servants everywhere.
When companies use foreign tax havens to avoid paying U.S. taxes, they shouldn’t be rewarded with a government contract. I introduced the American Business for American Companies Act to permanently prohibit providing federal contracts to companies that refuse to pay their fair share.
President Trump promised his immigration enforcement would go after the “worst of the worst.”
But his Administration’s own data shows that is a lie.
ICE is going after innocent people, just to meet the President’s cruel enforcement quotas.

I’m deeply troubled by this sentencing of Jimmy Lai and the continued incarceration of Pastor Jin Mingri and Dr. Gulshan Abbas – all of whom have already paid a heavy price on dubious charges. Their humanitarian release by China would be welcomed around the world.
