Reverend Jesse Jackson committed his life to the fight for civil rights.
I counted him as an ally on many issues of social justice.
His legacy is alive and growing—and I’m glad to lead the charge to honor his achievements.

11 people have died in ICE detention this year.
30+ died last year.
ICE needs serious reforms.
DHS agents detained an American citizen from Evanston for nearly two days before stranding her in Wisconsin with no way to get home.
Any new DHS Secretary must commit to ending these unlawful detentions.
This week the Senate will consider a bill to help address the housing affordability crisis in America.
I introduced five amendments to this bill to ensure homes are safe and affordable and to secure our financial markets from the volatility of crypto or scammers.
I brought a pocket Constitution to the Senate floor to give Congressional Republicans a civics lesson.
Only Congress, not the President, has the power to declare war.
The FAA should prioritize O’Hare Airport for air traffic control staffing and resources—as the busiest airport in the country in 2025.
@duckworth.senate.gov & I wrote to the FAA saying that O’Hare needs greater FAA investment and efficiency as the current backbone of the national aviation system.
If you or your child have ever experienced dental pain, you know that oral health care is essential. That’s why I introduced the Promoting Dental Health Act to ensure that the CDC’s Oral Health program has the resources necessary to prevent dental disease, build the workforce, and educate families.
Yesterday, I met with Berardino Baratta, CEO of MxD, to discuss their work strengthening our organic industrial base.
I am pleased to work in Congress to continue investing in America’s manufacturing sector to support our national security.
In January, President Trump signed into law my and Senator Fischer's bipartisan Protecting Children with Food Allergies Act.
I joined Senator Fischer to urge Ag Secretary Rollins to implement this legislation, so we can ensure our schools are a safe environment for all children with food allergies.
Today, I spoke at the Great Lakes Congressional Breakfast to discuss how to protect the Great Lakes from pollution and invasive species. Lake Michigan remains one of Chicago’s most valued assets, and we all must work together to safeguard its health for both humans and animals alike.
Mass deportation is unpopular.
Masked agents are unpopular.
Donald Trump is unpopular.
And your voice made it known.
Kristi Noem slipped on the outrages of ICE.
Kristi Noem slipped on the outrages of ICE. Will this Oklahoma Senator be any better?
We will find out as the Senate exercises its authority under the Constitution to provide advice and consent on this appointment.
Kristi Noem was the face of an unpopular, illegal, outright dangerous mass deportation campaign that claimed the lives of innocent Americans and terrorized more.
Our country expressed outrage, she repeatedly lied before Congress, and even the President finally conceded she was unfit for the job.
ICE has more funding than the Marines, yet there is almost no oversight in how the agency is spending taxpayer dollars.
I joined my colleagues to demand ICE tell us how they are spending YOUR money on their cruel mass deportation campaign.
Today, I met with Illinois Environmental Protection Agency Director James Jennings to discuss how Congress can help Illinois keep our environment clean. I appreciate the opportunity to speak with Director Jennings about how we can improve the quality of life for our constituents.
Senate Republicans just blocked the war powers resolution that would have prevented President Trump from ordering further strikes on Iran unless authorized by Congress.
The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to declare war. It’s long overdue that Congress step up to its responsibilities.
For 19 years, leaders from Bloomington-Normal have come to Washington to advocate for federal investment in their community.
I had the pleasure of meeting with them today to discuss federal funding opportunities for their local infrastructure needs.
Five days, five different explanations for why President Trump bombed Iran. The only thing that is clear is that this Administration seems to have no plan or strategy.
