Illinoisans have been feeling the squeeze at the grocery store for years – and the Trump admin’s policies are making it worse. As we debate the budget bill in the House Ag Committee, cuts to SNAP are a nonstarter.

It was great to meet with Champaign County First to talk about our shared priority of spurring the next generation of economic development in our region! I’ll continue to work to bring home the federal investments Champaign County deserves.
It was great to meet with leaders from a number of Illinois electric cooperatives. Electric co-ops help keep our rural communities connected and I’m proud to be their partner in Congress.
It was great to join the 21st Show to talk about House Republicans’ upcoming tax package and what it means for Illinois families. Listen to our conversation here: will.illinois.edu/21stshow/sto...
Slashing NIH funding isn’t about cutting government waste — it’s about slowing down the search for lifesaving treatments and cures for millions battling rare diseases. I explain why this matters in my latest op-ed: www.news-gazette.com/opinion/gues...
I'm sad to hear this news. I’ve enjoyed working with @connolly.house.gov throughout my time in Congress - especially on postal issues. I wish him all the best and look forward to continuing to work together for the American people as he finishes his term.
I’m relieved that international students have been granted temporary relief after the Trump administration illegally revoked their legal status. Illinois students deserve better than this whiplash and uncertainty and I will continue to monitor this situation.

Medicaid allows Jennifer to stay in her home of 13 years and receive the care she needs for her cerebral palsy. Her story is just one of countless examples of how essential Medicaid is for Illinoisans and folks across the country.

Every woman should have the right to make her own health care decisions and no doctor should fear criminal prosecution for providing lifesaving care.
I will never stop fighting to restore, protect and expand reproductive freedom for all.
Today, on Workers’ Memorial Day, we honor the workers who have been killed or injured on the job. In their memory, let’s continue to fight for a future where the health and safety of our workers always come first.
USDA programs help Illinois farmers stay afloat during tough times & help families across the country put food on the table. The Trump Administration’s plan to slash the USDA workforce would spell disaster for the farm economy & our rural communities.

Instead of passing policies to lower the cost of groceries, Republicans in Congress are pushing $230 billion in SNAP cuts for those who need it most.
Their plan is to let seniors, children, and working families go hungry so that billionaires can get another tax break.
As Ranking Member of the House Veterans Affairs Technology & Modernization Subcommittee, I’m calling on VA Secretary Collins and Oracle Health to give us answers about the recent data breach at Oracle that put vets’ health records at risk.
We need to make sure our veterans' privacy is protected.
I am always blown away by the talent and creativity of young artists in #IL13, and I was excited to have more schools than ever participate in this year’s Congressional Art Competition!
I couldn’t be more excited to launch the New Dems on the Road Tour, our new initiative to hear directly from communities about the issues they care most about.
Our first stop: Phoenix, Arizona ⬇️
Today marks Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day - the solemn anniversary of the beginning of the Armenian genocide on April 24th, 1915.
Join me in remembering the 1.5 million Armenians killed, honoring the survivors, and vowing to never allow this tragedy to be erased by history.
Today, on Yom HaShoah, we remember the 6 million Jews killed by the Nazis in the Holocaust.
Let us continue to stand up against antisemitism and reaffirm our commitment to “Never Again.”
For more than 42 years, Senator Durbin has been a tireless fighter for Illinois families, a dedicated public servant, and a steadfast defender of democracy. I will be forever grateful for his personal mentorship and his leadership of our Illinois Congressional delegation.
Senator Durbin, thank you.
I visited Carle Hospital in Urbana to highlight how proposed cuts to Medicaid will impact health centers in Central Illinois. I’m going to keep fighting to protect the critical federal resources they rely on to keep their doors open and provide quality care to our communities.
