We will not let the Trump Administration attack disability rights and get away with it. Today, I led Senate Democrats in introducing a resolution that calls on Trump's DOJ to rescind its dangerous memo and uphold the true promise of Olmstead.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller allegedly pushed for the DOJ’s memo that undermines Olmstead.
Senator Duckworth’s resolution, which she introduced Thursday, that calls on the Trump Administration to rescind its dangerous memo and uphold the true promise of Olmstead.

This housing bill passed with strong bipartisan support in both the House and Senate. It had buy-in from the White House. 
 Real relief for families was just within reach.

Trump is blocking it because he'd rather make it harder for you to vote than help you afford housing.

Last night, Republicans betrayed the American people and bowed down to Trump. Trump is too incompetent to negotiate a good deal to end his disastrous war—and it’s hurting families, endangering our national security and humiliating our nation. Republicans own all of it.
Trump Truth Social Post: Wow! The Senate just changed its vote on Iran from 50-48 against, to 50-47 for. Rand Paul and Bill Cassidy changed. Thank you to Leader Thune, Lindsay Graham, Bernie Moreno, and all. This vote puts Iran on notice! President DJT

Trump stood by as Speaker Mike Johnson single-handedly blocked my provision in last year’s defense bill to cover IVF for our servicemembers and their families. If Trump had kept his promise to our heroes, they'd have access to IVF this very day. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
New IVF benefits for military families cut from defense bill again
Lawmakers and advocates supporting the provision said House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) axed the provision based on personal objections to IVF.

This is overdue. 14 servicemembers have been killed. Costs are through the roof. Our adversaries are emboldened. America is less safe and worse off—and Senate Republicans’ vote today does not wash their hands of the damage already done. www.cbsnews.com/news/senate-...
Senate adopts House-passed Iran resolution in symbolic rebuke of Trump
The Senate approved a House-passed resolution aimed at reining in President Trump on Iran, marking the first time such a measure has made it through both chambers.

NEWS: The Senate just passed the biggest housing bill in 30 years! With the median age of first-time homebuyers at a record high, our bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act would: — Build more homes — Lower housing costs — Stop Wall Street from buying up homes Next up, the House.

An outrageous attack on the rights and independence of the disability community. We will not let Trump’s DOJ drag us back to a time when Americans with disabilities were institutionalized against their will and ripped away from their families. Period.

NEWS: I’m calling on the FAA to reject any pressure to rubberstamp Trump’s “Triumphal Arch.” The safety of the flying public should not be jeopardized for a vanity project designed to stroke the President’s ego.
A letter sent by U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth demanding the FAA reject any efforts from Trump to waste time and resources on his “Triumphal Arch.” Full letter can be found on the Senator’s website. Link in bio.

Heartbroken for the eight brave servicemembers who perished in today's crash at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Their service to our nation can never be repaid, but we owe it to them and their families to try.
8 people died in B-52 bomber crash at US Air Force base in Southern California, officials say
The U.S. Air Force says eight people aboard a B-52 bomber that crashed shortly after takeoff at a military base in Southern California’s Mojave Desert are dead.

Trump must provide the Senate Foreign Relations Committee with a detailed briefing on the terms of this “deal” immediately. We need answers ASAP on how exactly this agreement would solve anything for the American people—if it even holds at all.
Tammy Duckworth@duckworth.senate.govJun 15(source)
America is not better off than we were before. This war has cost 14 of our troops' lives and burned through $30 billion. Our economy is in shambles. It’s a total failure.
