The first time I met Dick Durbin was just 12 weeks after my shootdown—at a point so early in my recovery that I could barely sit up for any length of time, even in my hospital bed.   But when Dick looked at me, he saw past the wounds, saw past the wheelchair.

The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States Senator. But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch. So, I am announcing today that I will not be seeking re-election at the end of my term.

We’re already facing a military recruitment crisis— And Trump wants to turn away eligible Americans who are willing to serve and can do the job. Trump’s unconstitutional trans military service ban must end. www.npr.org/2025/04/22/n...
Senate Democrats press Hegseth for answers on Trump order to ban transgender troops
Lawmakers are asking the Defense Secretary to explain how the Pentagon is complying with court rulings blocking President Trump's executive order attempting to ban transgender troops from service.

On this Earth Day, we pledge to never back down in our work to stop Donald Trump's cruel, misguided campaign to make the American people unhealthier by rolling back environmental protections.

The Trump Administration has no regard for the millions of Americans in rural and underserved communities dealing with the cumulative effects of legacy pollution—higher rates of asthma, cancer and death rates—who will be hurt by their actions.
Tammy Duckworth@duckworth.senate.govApr 22(source)
Trump has gone to great lengths to eliminate our environmental justice efforts, from shutting down critical EPA and DOJ offices to freezing funding for projects that have been getting lead out of our kids' drinking water.
Tammy Duckworth@duckworth.senate.govApr 22(source)
On Earth Day six years ago, @booker.senate.gov and I launched the Senate's first-ever Environmental Justice Caucus—because we believe every American deserves the right to breathe clean air and drink clean water. 🌎 Unfortunately, Donald Trump doesn't agree.

Hegseth needs to be fired. The intel he shared via Signal, including to his wife, was sent to him on a secure channel. He knowingly exposed our pilots to unnecessary danger with his show boat antics.

Pope Francis taught us that in order to be great, we have to be good. Care for the poor, feed the hungry, be humble stewards of the Earth and treat others how we would want to be treated—even if they pray or live differently than us. His teachings remain as important as ever. May he rest in peace.

How many times does Pete Hegseth need to leak classified intelligence before Donald Trump and Republicans understand that he isn’t only a f*cking liar, he is a threat to our national security?

My Republican colleagues have shown zero resistance to Trump and Musk's disastrous agenda that has hiked everyday costs, fired thousands of Veterans and threatens to gut Medicaid and Social Security.   If they actually cared about the American people, they'd show some backbone.

It's almost graduation season for students across the nation. It should be a time of celebration—instead, we have students fleeing from a shooter on campus.   Enough.   Republicans must help us pass gun reform.   My thoughts are with the victims' loved ones and everyone at FSU.

Growing up, my family depended on food stamps. Today, millions rely on SNAP to get a square meal. With their budget, Republicans are proposing $12 billion in cuts to SNAP. Let's call this what it is: They're taking food out of children's mouths to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

Not only was he not given due process, the Trump Administration is now blatantly—and willfully—defying the Supreme Court's ruling. This is a dangerous escalation that threatens the rule of law. Bring Mr. Abrego Garcia home.
The deportation standoff sending the U.S. toward a constitutional crisis
Kilmar Abrego García remains in a Salvadoran prison as his case rises to a test of the Trump administration’s effort to deport more than 1 million immigrants.

Beth Benike served our nation and then built a thriving small business helping parents and their babies. Trump’s 145% China tariff puts her business—and her home—at risk. Billionaires can bounce back—but for the middle class, Trump’s chaos is devastating. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/p...
Her Business Was Thriving. Then Came the Tariffs.
An interview with Beth Benike, who fears for the survival of her small business under Trump’s tariffs.
