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.

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.
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.
