Immigrants make our country stronger.
Secretary Noem’s ouster, public outrage towards ICE, and so many other instances prove the Trump Administration is out of step with the American people.
Reposted bySenator Dick Durbin
Sen. DURBIN: Kristi Noem sat at this table one week ago. She was removed as Secretary just 48 hours later. This is a national conversation about immigrants. Do we fear them? Or do we embrace them as part of America? I sure hope it’s the latter.
Republicans are willing to let you wait for hours at the airport so immigration agents can continue to terrorize American citizens.
It is clear what their priorities are.
Today’s constituent coffee was extra special because it is also @duckworth.senate.gov's birthday!
Tammy is a dear friend and a fierce advocate for Illinoisans. I am grateful to serve alongside her, and I am happy that I could join our constituents to celebrate her birthday today.
Restaurants are the lifeblood of our communities, but they face serious challenges with the steep cost of credit card swipe fees. Today, I spoke with the National Restaurant Association about how my bipartisan Credit Card Competition Act would lower costs for businesses and consumers.
This is great news. The right to counsel is a cornerstone of our judicial system.
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting with Illinois TRIO students and staff. As the Trump Admin. threatens to zero out TRIO funding, I will continue to back this important program that helps first-gen, low-income, and underrepresented students succeed in college.
I joined @duckworth.senate.gov & our Dem colleagues in a letter to Secretary Hegseth to demand answers on U.S. airstrikes that reportedly killed at least 168 people—mostly children—in a school in Iran.
There those responsible for this horrific school attack must be held accountable.
Today, I hosted the Illinois Soybean Association to discuss the state of the farm economy. I believe President Trump broke his promise to farmers. Tariffs, Iran, his damage to the bipartisan Farm Bill, abandoning E15 as a priority, cutting USDA staff and research – all make farming too expensive.
Today is the one year anniversary of the Trump Administration gutting the Department of Education.
I joined @hirono.senate.gov to let our students and teachers know that we will always fight for you, even if President Trump abandons you.
@murray.senate.gov just gave Republicans a second chance to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard.
They said no since it wouldn’t include more money for President Trump’s mass deportation operations.
Predatory for-profit colleges rake in billions in federal student aid but leave students drowning in debt with near-meaningless degrees.
I introduced the Proprietary Education Oversight Task Force Act to shed light on this industry and give students the tools to avoid predatory for-profit colleges.
President Trump is trying to rewrite birthright citizenship out of our Constitution.
It’s the law of the land—and won’t be changing.
All Democrats are asking is for ICE and CBP to play by the same rules that your local police officer does.
Senate Republicans would rather keep DHS shutdown.
The American people have a Constitutional right to decide whether their children will be asked to fight a war.
We cannot wage large scale international conflicts based on the President’s whims.
I am pleased to see the President recognize the dangers invasive carp pose to the Great Lakes’ economy and ecosystem.
Hopefully, his Administration will heed his warning and release funding for the Brandon Road Interbasin Project which is critical in preventing carp from reaching the Great Lakes.
After gutting Medicaid & ending the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits, millions of Americans lost the peace of mind of quality coverage for their families.
Dr. Oz still believes that too many Americans have an ACA plan. How many more people will lose their health care because of this Admin?
