More solutions. Less chaos.
I’m always happy to talk about smart-on-crime policies.
Community-based policing is smart.
Federalizing local police isn't.
Bolstering social services is smart.
Punishing people experiencing homelessness isn't.
Supporting law enforcement is smart.
Wreaking havoc in DC isn't.
Donald Trump doesn’t actually care about public safety in DC.
He cares about revenge against blue cities and states.
Chaos isn’t the answer.
I stood alongside Texas legislators today as they refuse to allow President Trump to steamroll democracy.
As Rep. Plesa said this morning, “Texans don’t quit.”
James Lovell was a true American hero. As the commander of Apollo 13, he led our country to unbelievable heights.
Lovell will never be forgotten for his courage and his legacy will continue to inspire millions of Americans.
Rest in peace, Jim. 🇺🇸
President Trump is stripping labor protections for thousands of union workers in the VA.
This is unacceptable and un-American.
I’m fighting against this to protect our unions and our veterans.

None of these reports are confirmed.
And if they do come to fruition, they’re illegal.
NEWS: I sent a letter to Amtrak raising concern over the recent handling of the suspension of several IL roundtrip services and requested they work with IDOT to ensure fewer interruptions for travelers.
I’m hearing reports of Attorney General Bondi and FBI Director Patel threatening to deploy FBI agents to arrest Texas Democrats.
These reports are unconfirmed—and if they are true, they’re an abomination.
Federal law enforcement can’t act as a political arm.
The Trump Administration is planning to pay $160,000 to burn $9.7 million worth of contraceptives and other medical supplies.
They’d rather burn and waste money than help thousands of women in need. Shameful.
Crypto investments lack transparency and are far too volatile to serve as retirement investment tools.
The President's executive order will jeopardize Americans’ hard-earned retirement savings.
Hard-working Americans deserve retirement security.
BREAKING: I joined my Senate colleagues in a letter to EPA Admin. Zeldin urging him to reverse course on the Agency’s plan to gut power plant pollution standards.
This would allow unchecked poisonous emissions into our air that would cause health issues for American families.
The Trump Administration is trying to infringe on states’ and cities’ authorities.
Chicago’s immigration policies are humane and legal, and that won’t change.
Illinois Democrats are united.
The Trump Administration can’t bully us into changing our immigration policy.
Congratulations to the Clarendon Hills Little League team! Good luck at the World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
It’s been 60 years since the Voting Rights Act was signed into law.
Today, we continue the fight to protect our fundamental right to vote in America.
It’s time we pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
President Trump and RFK's recklessness will deprive Americans of lifesaving medicines, like cancer treatment.
Abandoning proven science is a gift to foreign countries and makes America less safe.
President Trump is not only raising your electric bill, he’s also canceling funds that help Americans afford low-cost solar energy.
This Administration’s reckless policies continue to hurt working families while helping billionaires get richer.
