NEWS: @schumer.senate.gov just attempted to pass a bill that would extend the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits and prevent insurance prices from doubling for 22 million Americans. Even though this bill passed the House with 17 Republican votes, Senate Republicans still blocked it.

This week, the Illinois National Guard began its partnership with the Portuguese Armed Forces through the State Partnership Program.
I supported this agreement, as the ILNG has long exemplified the “Gold Standard” in partnership initiatives, strengthening both international security & cooperation.
President Trump’s war on drugs will take more than a new President in Venezuela. Last night’s termination of addiction treatment is a step backwards that will cost lives.
His cuts show this Admin is more interested in building White House ballrooms than life-saving clinics.
#Breaking: SAMHSA canceled up to $1.9 billion in grants without staff consultation, accelerating the mental health agency's deterioration under President Trump. www.statnews.com/2026/01/14/s...
Still no response. We know the answer.
Lowered standards. Weakened vetting.
Secretary Noem is opening the door to extremists and the unqualified.

I met with Chinese Ambassador Xie Feng to discuss many shared interests and areas of disagreement between the U.S. and China.
I commend Ambassador Xie for his willingness to discuss these issues with me, and I hope China can help bring an end to the war in Ukraine and ease tensions in the SCS.
America could restore its leadership on human rights and right past wrongs.
Instead, the Trump Administration is expanding Guantánamo Bay to unjustly and inhumanely detain migrants.
We have to close it once and for all.
At last month’s Cabinet meeting, Trump publicly called Somali immigrants “garbage.”
Now, his Administration is terminating Somalia’s designation for Temporary Protected Status.
Does the President really think Somalia is a safe or stable place for these individuals to return? I think not.
@duckworth.senate.gov and I introduced an amendment to the government funding bill to reverse the President’s proposed budget cut to the Chicago Harbor Lock, one of America’s busiest locks. A lock this large must have the critical resources it needs to run its operations.
Today, President Trump endorsed my bipartisan Credit Card Competition Act, which would reduce credit card swipe fees and hold down costs for Main Street merchants and their customers. Americans struggling with everyday purchases like groceries and gas need the relief this bill would provide.
🚨BIG NEWS: This is the moment the Senate passed my bill to combat nonconsensual, sexually-explicit deepfakes.
Grok is out of control. AI can’t be unregulated.
I teamed up with @ocasio-cortez.house.gov to stand up for victims who’ve had their autonomy taken from them by AI.
Let’s get it done.
Survivors deserve to have their day in court.
To my House colleagues: let’s get this done.

BREAKING: Senate unanimously passes bill to help tackle nonconsensual, sexually-explicit deepfake images accelerated by the AI boom.
Some exciting news.
The Senate just unanimously passed my bill to combat nonconsensual, sexually-explicit deepfake images!
Survivors deserve to have their day in court.
To my House colleagues: let’s get this done.
The video from the shooting of Renee Good directly contradicts the self-defense narrative that DHS and President Trump have attempted to spin. DHS and DOJ must cooperate with state and local officials to hold a full, transparent investigation into her shooting now.
The first detainees arrived at Guantánamo Bay twenty-four years ago.
The prison at GTMO is a stain on our nation’s history—and it’s time we close it once and for all.
Read my letter to the Chicago Tribune about the horrific shooting of Renee Good and the Trump Administration’s reign of terror here:
President Trump wants to weaponize every tool of government against his perceived opponents.
His lackeys at the Justice Department embrace and execute his worst instincts.
Congress must fight back.

NEWS: Since the passage of the INFORM Consumers Act, which I introduced, tens of millions of product listings have been removed from online marketplaces. I am pleased to see that this legislation has helped make it safer for people to purchase goods online.
