We cannot allow calling for the hanging of elected officials to become the new normal. This is a new low, even for Trump.

Bill's ATmosphere Activity

Recent ATmosphere posts, sponsorships, and cosponsorships.
Las Rosas Permanent Supportive Housing will convert a former school into 20 units for those experiencing homelessness or living with disabilities.
I was proud to secure $3 million in federal funding to support AID, Hesed House, and The Neighbor Project in bringing this project to life.
During Trump's first term, the CIA concluded that Saudi Prince MBS ordered the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Apparently to Trump, that’s red carpet-worthy.
My statement on my vote to release the Epstein files.
My IL colleagues and I released a fact check on DHS' lies. Read it here: www.durbin.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
Operation Midway Blitz isn’t law enforcement — it’s a campaign of fear and intimidation. Federal agents, under Trump’s orders, have used violence against peaceful communities, torn families apart, and detained people without due process. Now they’re spreading lies to cover up these abuses.
Tomorrow, I will vote to advance the release of the full Epstein files. This vote is about bringing justice to victims. No one, no matter how wealthy or powerful, is above the law.
It's always an honor to meet and connect with veterans across our community.
On Veterans Day, I stopped by events in Romeoville, Woodridge, and Lemont. Last week, I joined the opening ceremony for the Vietnam Veterans Wall in Naperville.
During the shutdown, Trump did everything he could to prevent families, children, and seniors from getting their full SNAP benefits—driving more people to local food banks.
Last week, I met with the Northern Illinois Food Bank to hear how they’re managing the surge in demand.
Eight Senate Republicans slipped a $500,000 payout for each of themselves into the government funding bill because they were investigated for their possible involvement in January 6.
They can find money for themselves, but none for affordable health care.

Today, I led 25 colleagues in sending a bipartisan letter calling on DHS and USCIS to ensure that Ukrainian families in the Uniting for Ukraine (U4U) program are not unfairly burdened by processing delays and surprise fees.

My statement on the Senate government funding deal.
Earlier today, my Democratic colleagues and I stood on the House steps to reaffirm our commitment to fighting for affordable health care.
The Republican funding bill does nothing to address soaring premiums. I will be voting NO.
Today, after 50 days, Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in—the last signature needed to force a vote to release the Epstein files.
It’s time for the Trump cover up to end, for victims to get justice, and for Americans to get answers.
On Veterans Day, we reflect on the service of our brave men and women in uniform. Let’s honor their sacrifice by ensuring veterans and their families have the care and support they deserve.
I’m voting NO on the Senate funding deal.
I’ve heard from countless constituents whose premiums are set to more than double next year — and they’re not sure if they’ll be able to afford their health coverage.
I won’t support a bill that leaves them behind.
If Trump wanted to send full SNAP payments, he could do so right now. But since he’s unwilling to prevent people from going hungry, only partial SNAP benefits will go out this month.
IL residents on SNAP can learn more about when to expect their benefits here:
www.dhs.state.il.us?item=174038
There is funding available for SNAP, and federal courts have ordered Donald Trump to use it. But he would rather let children go hungry than follow the law.
It’s difficult to comprehend just how cruel this is.
Last week, I celebrated 125 years of the Chicago Sanitary and Shipping Canal at its renaming event!
To vote for a new name for the canal, visit boldpastbrightfuture.org/naming-committee by Friday, November 7th.
Tonight, the Republican Shutdown will become the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
Republicans are still on vacation, canceling votes, and refusing to come back to DC and negotiate.
