Another life has been lost at the hands of the Trump-Noem DHS.
This person had severe medical conditions, was detained for over a year, and didn’t receive proper care.
Republicans, find the courage. This isn’t pro-life.

Predators can target our kids from anywhere.
As tactics evolve online, so must our tools to tackle depravity.
Reform sentencing laws. Target online criminal networks. Crack down on offenders.

The Senate just passed my resolution designating February as American Heart Month.
Heart conditions affect so many families, including my own.
We must invest in research, so we can find new treatments and cures.
Kash Patel is more interested in traveling on your dime than protecting you.

Outdated War on Drugs-era policies are still taking a toll on our criminal justice system.
Costly. Overcrowding prisons. Straining budgets.
We just introduced bipartisan bills to reform them.
The Trump Administration just admitted to wrongfully arresting 261 DACA recipients.
86 were deported.
Dreamers deserve a path to citizenship, not deportation.
Julius Rosenwald was instrumental in narrowing the wide gap in educational opportunities for Black children during Jim Crow.
I introduced the Julius Rosenwald and Rosenwald Schools National Historical Park Act to ensure Americans can learn about his legacy and contributions to our country.
Don’t fall for the bait.
The Trump Administration gutted *actual* ways to tackle fraud.
This is a pointless show by JD Vance.

Heart disease has left a mark on millions of families nationwide – including my own.
Today, I spoke with patients, researchers, & physicians at the Heart Valve Disease Awareness Day Summit about how Congress can continue to support lifesaving research in light of President Trump’s reckless cuts.
Always good to see my friend, Normal Mayor Chris Koos! Today, we discussed how Congress can support transportation infrastructure in Illinois and ensure that our state remains connected.
I put President Trump’s immigration enforcement officials on notice.
After he leaves office, federal agents and officials who have broken the law during this cruel mass deportation effort can still be prosecuted and held accountable for their violations of the Constitution and federal law.
In America’s 250th year, our democracy is facing a serious test under this President. But Democrats are fighting to bring down costs, end the chaos, and fight corruption.
If grandstanding paid for groceries, the President would have ridden to the American peoples’ rescue tonight. But it doesn’t work that way. Instead, the President delivered empty platitudes about the success of his first year back in office.
Today, @duckworth.senate.gov and I met with members of the Illinois State Association of Counties to discuss the affordability crisis.
As the President slashes funding for health care, SNAP, and other key services, local governments are the ones picking up the slack to protect their communities.
Four years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Kyiv stands. Ukrainians have demonstrated their grit on the battlefield and dedication to freedom.
Today, I joined @shaheen.senate.gov and Senator Tillis to introduce a resolution to reaffirm our support for the people of Ukraine and their sovereignty.
Kash Patel went to hang out at the Olympics on the taxpayer dime.
It’s irresponsible joyriding and a complete waste of our money.
He should reimburse you. I’m investigating.
Illinois often struggles to receive adequate federal aid after severe weather strikes.
I joined @duckworth.senate.gov to reintroduce the Fairness in Federal Disaster Declarations Act to fix the broken metrics FEMA uses to determine disaster assistance and ease the financial burden on Illinoisans.
