Thanks to this partnership, our city is more resilient, and we’re shaping a better future for our kids.

While I am pleased Russia finally released Stephen Hubbard, he never should have been jailed in the first place.
Calling the war criminal Vladimir Putin a “humanitarian” is a disgrace to the tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians that Putin has killed as part of his brutal war.
The great Justice Stevens taught me that government has the duty to treat every person fairly, and I have carried that sentiment with me throughout my Senate career.
It’s a privilege to receive the Chicago Bar Association's Justice John Paul Stevens Award in his honor.
Pleased to join @duckworth.senate.gov today in announcing that IDOT will receive more than $12 million to support the Southern Illinois Truck Parking Expansion Project.
Truck drivers keep our economy moving, and they deserve safe, reliable places to rest while on the road.

Any negotiations about the future of Ukraine after years defending against Russian assault must include Ukraine. Ukraine has earned its freedom and right to determine its future—which are not for President Trump to sell out to Putin and Xi because his half hearted efforts to end the war have failed.
I just returned from a CODEL to the Balkans, where I met with Balkan leaders and citizens to discuss how America has served as a force for peace in the region.
As China and Russia attempt to obtain a foothold in the region, America must remain steadfast in our engagement with our Balkan friends.
Navy Pier is a Chicago icon and an incredible a source of entertainment for Illinoisans and visitors alike.
It has been my pleasure to advocate for federal investments for Navy Pier while in Congress, and I was honored to be recognized at their annual gala last night.
America must stand with Ukraine, not the Russian war criminal, Vladimir Putin.
Donald Trump’s decision to buy Russian gas and limit the sharing of critical intelligence with Ukraine is an abandonment of our ally and will cause more violence and bloodshed.
The disruption of Starshield systems will only prolong Putin’s brutal war in Ukraine and puts American personnel at risk.
I joined a bipartisan group of colleagues to demand the DOD Inspector General immediately investigate this restriction on Ukraine’s ability to defend itself.
Over the last year, DOJ and the FBI have seized ballots, threatened election officials, and worked with DHS in an attempt to undermine the election administration powers of states.
I joined my colleagues to press both agencies to provide a full accounting of these efforts. (1/2)
I’d like to extend my deepest gratitude to the men and women of the Mount Prospect and Palatine police departments who thwarted this horrific mass shooting plot.
Hate has no home in Illinois, and this incident is a reminder that we must remain vigilant against prejudice and bigotry.

September’s inflation report confirms what we already know, that President Trump’s bungled war with Iran is behind the outrageous increase in the cost of living over the past few months.
Americans need an end to these price hikes, not endless wars in the Middle East.
I joined my colleagues in urging President Trump to rescind his recent agreement allowing Russian-origin diesel fuel into global markets.
This deal will offer little to no relief to Americans struggling with high energy costs, and instead help finance Putin’s horrific attacks on Ukraine.
Today is Indigenous Peoples’ Day—a day where we reflect on the many contributions Native Americans have made to our nation as its first inhabitants. May we continue to celebrate and honor indigenous peoples’ cultures, histories, and legacies today and every day.
After Trump’s war with Iran caused oil prices to spike, the President is now considering bankrolling Russia’s slaughter of Ukrainian civilians.
Lifting sanctions on Russia will only fuel Putin’s war machine and prolong the conflict in Ukraine.
Today, I called on the Inspector General at DOJ to investigate why the FBI modified its hiring standards to allow those who stole from an employer, paid for sex, and engaged in bestiality to work for the Bureau.
If Kash Patel won’t give us answers on these hiring changes, we need someone who will.
