The Rock Island Arsenal has played a critical role in our national security.
I urged Sec. Driscoll and General George to protect the workforce and workload at the Arsenal.

Yet another example of the reckless, shortsighted, and haphazard gutting of critical U.S. global programs that help the most vulnerable and protect Americans at home courtesy of Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE.
For-profit colleges have exploited veterans, service members, and taxpayers for too long.
I introduced the POST Act with Rep. Cohen to prohibit for-profit colleges from receiving more than 85% of their revenue from the federal government.
For-profit colleges must be held accountable.
The Supreme Court has abandoned transgender children and their families to political whims, as Justice Sotomayor noted in her dissent.
Today’s ruling is a shame.
I will double down on my fight for trans kids to thrive.
This is about health care.
Once again, extremist politicians and judges are stepping into the doctor’s office and usurping the decision-making that should be left to families and doctors.
Rather than using the full powers of the government to protect people, anti-trans extremists are using their power to the detriment of kids and families who need support.
The Supreme Court just upheld an unjust ban on gender-affirming care.
This ruling is nothing short of a full-fledged license for states to discriminate against vulnerable kids who are looking to live their lives authentically.
This partisan farce of a hearing is a waste of our time and resources.
We’re facing extraordinary challenges like political violence, anti-immigrant mass deportations, and the destruction of the rule of law.
Democrats will keep the focus on current issues of grave concern.
Republicans are making the largest cuts to health care & SNAP in history. They claim it’s to stop "waste & fraud", but families already go through a rigorous eligibility check.
The reality? Republicans are taking away food & health care to provide a tax break to billionaires.
Today, I voted NO on the GENIUS Act.
With no amendment process, this bill will allow crypto ATM scams to continue at the expense of unsuspecting Americans. Conveniently, it also allows the President and his family to continue owning, issuing, and profiting off of stablecoins.
Ask Me Anything! I’m joining my fellow @democrats.senate.gov colleagues and going live on @senateinsession.bsky.social at 4:30pm ET / 3:30pm CT.
I introduced the Bicycles for Rural African Transport Act that would establish a program within USAID to promote mobility in rural communities using affordable, sustainable bicycles to support development.
A bike can go a long way in helping meet needs in health care, education, and women’s and girls’ empowerment.
Manhandling a Senator. Using unnecessary force. Separating families. Defying court orders.
Secretary Noem must come before the Senate Judiciary Committee and answer to this under oath.
The strong-arm tactics used against Sen. Padilla last week was not only shocking, it was also a dangerous breach of our Constitution.
I joined my Democratic colleagues in demanding accountability for the treatment of Sen. Padilla.
Crypto ATMs aren’t being “exploited” to facilitate fraud. Fraud is almost all they’re used for.
Scammers are targeting elderly Americans, sometimes wiping out their entire savings.
We must regulate crypto, and I’m saying so in Committee right now.
We need to hear from Attorney General Bondi and FBI Director Patel on what they’re doing to address political violence.
And we need to hear from Secretary Noem directly about the Trump Administration’s cruel and un-American campaign against immigrants.
The horrific assassinations in Minnesota and manhandling of my friend Senator Padilla demand immediate attention.
The Rock Island Arsenal plays an essential role for the economy of the Quad Cities and the readiness of our military.
I joined my IL & IA colleagues in sending a letter to Army Secretary Driscoll showing our support for the Arsenal and requesting a briefing on future plans.
This pathetic display of retribution tells America we are in the grips of a political leader who would penalize families with no record of serious crime.
America is better than that.
