Donald Trump even considering deploying the National Guard to Chicago is outrageous and nothing but a power grab by an aspiring dictator. Our communities need investment, not intimidation. Sending troops into our neighborhoods will not help public safety, it will only escalate tensions.
Donald Trump's threat to bring the National Guard to Chicago isn't about safety — it's a test of the limits of his power and a trial run for a police state. Illinois has long worked with federal law enforcement to tackle crime, but we won't let a dictator impose his will.
On behalf of the entire Chicago community, I want to wish Sister Jean a joyful 106th birthday! 🎂 Your wisdom and enduring spirit have been a guiding light not only for @loyolachicago.bsky.social but for our entire city.
Trump’s latest attack on our democracy is a blatant attempt to disenfranchise millions of voters. His unconstitutional push to ban mail-in ballots is a direct assault on the rights of seniors, disabled individuals, and working-class Americans who rely on mail-in voting.
Trump echoes comments he said Putin made to him last Friday: "Mail in ballots are corrupt. You can never have a real democracy w/ mail in ballots. We as a Republican Party are gonna do everything possible. We're gonna start with an executive order to end mail in ballots."
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned over $20 billion to Americans. Now, a court just gave Trump the green light to dismantle it. We can't let working families pay the price. Corporate scammers, predatory lenders, and shady banks must be held accountable.
A federal appeals court panel has cleared the way for the Trump administration to largely dismantle the work of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Too often, we see worthy projects in our community go underfunded. One of the best parts of my job is bringing back federal funds for the 9th District. I secured $300,000 for the @apnaghar.bsky.social mobile advocacy program to better reach and assist survivors of gender-based violence.
For 90 years, Social Security has kept millions out of poverty. Now, GOP extremists want to privatize and gut it. We won’t let them. Not now, not ever. Today, as we celebrate this hard-earned benefit, I made it clear that it’s time to EXPAND Social Security, not destroy it.
Juan López was a leader in Honduras who was assassinated after years of working to protect the environment and opposing corruption at the highest levels. Now, 11 months after his death, it's imperative that the preliminary hearing move forward to advance justice for Juan, and all of Honduras.
Marriage equality is a constitutional right, period. President Biden's Respect for Marriage Act ensures federal recognition of LGBTQ+ and interracial marriages nationwide. We must stay loud, united, and ready to fight back against any extremist attempt to take away our rights.
Jim Lovell turned tragedy into triumph, guiding Apollo 13 home against all odds. A true American hero who showed us what courage looks like in a crisis. We need that spirit now more than ever. I’m grateful Jim shared his passion for space with the Adler Planetarium. May his memory shine bright.
Famed NASA astronaut Jim Lovell, who commanded the harrowing Apollo 13 mission in 1970, has died cnn.it/40SWf4U
Make no mistake, immigrants make our country great! Congratulations to the 977 new U.S. citizens, coming from 109 different countries! It was an honor to be part of such a special day and Naturalization Ceremony.
On Assyrian Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the victims of the 1933 Simele Massacre and all those who have suffered persecution. We’re so fortunate to have such a large Assyrian American presence in the 9th District. Today, and every day, we stand in solidarity with the Assyrian community.
Terminating union contracts at the VA is union-busting, plain and simple. This reckless power grab is a betrayal of the very people who care for our veterans and keep them safe. Our veterans and their caregivers deserve better. The VA must immediately reverse this decision.
Care infrastructure is infrastructure! I joined @durbin.senate.gov and Endeavor Health for the opening of the Oakton College Health Careers Education Center. This state-of-the-art facility will train the next generation of health workers and is a vital step toward expanding access to care.
Instead of lowering energy costs and creating good-paying jobs, Trump would rather ignore science and cozy up to the fossil fuel industry. We're running out of time to prevent the worst effects of climate change. Future generations are counting on us.
Breaking News: The Trump administration is preparing to terminate $7 billion in federal grants intended to help low- and moderate-income families install solar panels on their homes, according to people briefed on the matter.
It's incredibly courageous for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault to make their voices heard. When survivors do come forward, they deserve sensitive, respectful, and diligent care. I applaud @govpritzker.illinois.gov for enacting "Anna's Law."
Trump’s reckless decision to fire hundreds of Administration for Community Living employees means lifesaving services like Meals on Wheels and caregiving support are at risk for countless seniors and people with disabilities.
