DHS must provide answers about what is happening to children at this facility.
No child should be detained in these conditions.
President Trump is pressuring state election officials to do his bidding—again.
It didn’t work last time, and it can’t work this time.
State election officials must hold the line and protect our right to vote.
Donald Trump posted a racist video of our former President and First Lady Barack and Michelle Obama.
It is sadly par for the course for a President who revels in his cruelty and racism. When will Republicans draw the line and call out this vile conduct?
Wishing the nine Illinoisans representing the United States in the 2026 Olympic Winter Games the best of luck! I’ll be cheering you on to bring home the gold for Team USA!
As he desperately tries to distract from his failing agenda, Donald Trump launches a sales scheme that is a giveaway to Big Pharma & will not meaningfully reduce drug prices for American families.
I joined my colleagues to meet with Ruslan Stefanchuk, Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament, and Ukrainian Ambassador Olha Stefanishyna, who told us about the Ukrainians suffering amid Russia’s attacks on the power grid. Now more than ever, we must work in Congress to support our Ukrainian ally.
When Americans buy a supplement, they trust it’s safe. But some unscrupulous companies break that trust by marketing unsafe ingredients, like tianeptine. I introduced the Prohibiting Tianeptine and Other Dangerous Products Act to get rid of tianeptine and protect consumers.
NEWS: The New START agreement between the U.S. and Russia just expired. For the first time in over a decade, there are no limits on U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals. We must get back to the negotiating table and ensure safe nuclear risk reduction through enforceable limits and inspections.
Strong transportation and energy infrastructure is essential to the future of Illinois.
Today, I met with leaders from Winnebago County to discuss how Congress can best support development in Northern Illinois.
Section 702 is a vital national security tool. But without reforms it gravely threatens civil liberties.
We must strike the right balance—and that requires information on how the Administration is using 702.
Trump officials must testify.

Happy to hear that 700 federal immigration agents are leaving Minnesota.
But the questions we need to ask are, where will they show up next? And will the remaining 2,000 agents in MN finally change their tactics?
Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and Silverio Villegas Gonzalez should still be with us today.

Today, @duckworth.senate.gov and I met with the Federation of Independent Illinois Colleges and Universities to discuss the Trump Administration’s attacks on higher education. As this Admin creates new barriers to accessing education, We made it clear that we stand with students and educators.
The rising cost of building starter and single-family homes has priced millions of Americans out of renting or owning a home. I introduced the ABODE Act to demolish barriers to housing affordability and incentivize builders to construct modern homes that meet our nation’s needs.
Donald Trump called Haiti a “sh**hole country”.
Secretary Noem called immigrants “killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies”.
It was wrong then, and it is wrong now.
Haitian TPS holders are contributing members to society.
Pleased to see the D.C. District Court reject these racist attacks.
The events and lessons of the Holocaust can’t be forgotten.
We must examine the past and honor the promise of NEVER AGAIN.
