Today, I introduced legislation that will offer the sale of “climate bonds” to fund climate resiliency projects and protect our communities.

As our country experiences severe floods, tornadoes, and temperatures, President Trump has eliminated climate programs that protect Americans from extreme weather.
Josh Divine used his role as Solicitor General of Missouri to attack reproductive rights whenever he could.
He won’t share his views on IVF, challenged abortion medication access, and undermined the will of Missouri voters when they codified abortion rights.
He belongs nowhere near the bench.

So much for rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse.

Senate Republicans just confirmed a nominee who refused to stop wasting resources *intended* to stop drug trafficking.
The Trump Administration is telling DEA agents to go arrest migrant gardeners, not actual drug traffickers.
Terrance Cole will put Trump first—not YOU.
Drones are used for plenty of legitimate purposes, like search and rescue operations and disaster response.
But criminals and enemies can also use drones with bad intent.
If I’m sitting at Wrigley Field with my grandkids and see a drone, I want to know it’s safe and authorized to be there.
Even federal agents are saying: Secretary Noem is shifting focus away from real threats.
She must answer for this.

This is what veteran federal agents are saying about the Trump-Noem DHS.
Arresting gardeners, not drug and human traffickers.
Secretary Noem is overseeing an extreme mass deportation campaign as we speak. Masked agents are sweeping up migrants who have done nothing wrong, and even American citizens.
She needs to answer for this.

We have a DHS witness sworn in before us right now.
But who didn’t the Trump Administration send to the Hill today? DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
As extreme heat moves across Illinois, make sure to stay hydrated and keep an eye on your neighbors who might need help escaping the heat.

Stay safe, Illinois!
I reiterate my call for a ceasefire that sees the release of all remaining hostages, allows sufficient aid to flow to Gaza, and advances a post-war vision. We must renew the effort toward a two state solution that would allow Israelis and Palestinians to once and for all live in peace and dignity.
And in the West Bank, a surge in settler violence continues to displace and kill Palestinians, including recently an American citizen.
The ongoing and unresolved desperation for food in Gaza continues to be a humanitarian disaster. Many aid organizations have experience providing aid without violence. The troubled GHF operation cannot continue in such a chaotic and deadly manner.
BREAKING: I sent a letter to the U.S. Sentencing Commission urging them to consider how the limited number of resources and staff is affecting the Bureau of Prisons’ ability to discharge its mission and threatening the safety and well-being of incarcerated individuals.
After visiting two more ICE facilities, we have more evidence to confirm that the Trump Administration is:
Overcrowding facilities.
Denying access to medical care and legal counsel.
Creating inhumane confinement conditions.
NONE of it makes us safer.
