Yesterday, I voted against the NDAA in protest of President Trump’s unconstitutional deployment of National Guard troops to Illinois.
These deployments threaten our democracy and our community. The President must stop using our military as pawns in his political theater.

I spoke with Illinois members from the National Air Traffic Controllers Association.
Air traffic controllers work one of the most stressful jobs in America, and now they’re expected to report without pay during the shutdown.
Our air traffic controllers deserve better than this.
If any elected Republican actually gives a damn about a weaponized Justice Department, speak up now.
The Justice Department just indicted the New York Attorney General.
President Trump has officially turned DOJ into a shield to protect himself and his MAGA allies—and a sword to attack opponents.
And Attorney General Bondi is enabling him.
Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado for receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.
I had the honor to speak with Ms. Machado in May, and I was amazed with her undaunted commitment to the Venezuelan people’s democratic aspirations, even in the face of repression from the Maduro regime.
I spoke with AFGE President Everett Kelley this morning to express my support for federal workers amid the Trump Administration’s gutting of federal agencies and threats to withhold federal workers’ back pay during the shutdown.
Republicans must end the Trump shutdown and stop this chaos.
The cost of health insurance is about to spike across America.
Democrats are ready to negotiate and prevent these increases, but Republicans would rather pretend that nothing is wrong.
It is not a radical idea that health care should be affordable for working families. It’s common sense.
Yesterday, I introduced a bipartisan resolution condemning Russian incursions into NATO territory & reaffirming Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty.
The United States must stand firm in opposition to Putin’s attempts to cause mayhem across Europe.
I hope this first phase of a larger movement to peace becomes a reality with the immediate return of the hostages, ceasefire, and greater humanitarian aid.
I met with Ukraine’s new ambassador today to discuss Russia’s ongoing war and how the United States and its allies can continue to help Ukraine defend itself and address Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia.
The United States and NATO must stand firm against Russian aggression.
The Trump-Noem immigration raids in Chicago are illegal.
If Secretary Noem stood on principle, she’d do something besides blindly obey President Trump.
As a governor, Secretary Noem preached “states’ rights.”
But once she became a Trump official, Secretary Noem started trampling on states’ rights with masked ICE and Border Patrol agents.
It is unconscionable that this Administration would direct military resources to police American cities.
It makes both our city, and our country less safe, and it is a mistake that will be remembered in the history books.
President Trump and Governor Abbott have illegally sent the Texas National Guard into the sovereign state of Illinois over the objections of Governor Pritzker.
This is a frightening and unconstitutional escalation.
This soft-on-crime Administration cut HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in public safety and crime prevention funds.
