Under this administration, scientists have been ignored, discredited, and dismissed. It's no surprise they would leave the U.S.
This loss of talent and expertise will devastate our global leadership and competitive edge.
Trump's tariff tantrums are putting the financial security of American consumers and businesses at risk.
With over 60% of people disapproving of Trump’s economic record and 90% bracing for higher prices, Americans know they’re paying the price for his reckless policies.
Attacking judges and skirting court orders has been a hallmark of Trump's second administration—and he doesn't seem to be changing course anytime soon.
Trump, Elon Musk, and Republicans in Congress have set their sights on Social Security and Medicaid in order to make room for tax cuts for billionaires.
Tariffs have created such financial uncertainty that many experts believe we're headed towards a global recession.
Trump has achieved something no president has in 80 years: a historically low 41% approval rating in the first 100 days of his term. Here's a glimpse at just a few of the things that have helped Trump accomplish this feat.

Republicans have outlined a budget that slashes Medicaid, putting health coverage for one in four IL residents at risk. These cuts would jeopardize critical funding for rural hospitals, community health centers, nursing homes, and mental health services—vital resources for millions across IL.
Dick Durbin is one of my heroes—right up there with Paul Douglas and Paul Simon. If any of us could accomplish one tenth of what Dick has done for the people of Illinois, we could step off the stage with pride.

Happy Easter to all who are celebrating today!
Proud to stand with my colleagues in demanding the Trump Admin comply with the Supreme Court and bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home. Their refusal to correct this unlawful deportation is morally indefensible and an overstep of their authority. They must act now and make sure this never happens again.
