I’m honored to receive a special award from Rotary International for my commitment to global polio eradication.
The fight isn’t over—we must continue to invest in vaccination and global health programs to finally #EndPolio.

Instituting oversight and regulations on cryptocurrency is necessary to protect consumers.
I met with Brian Quintenz, nominee to be Chairman of CFTC, to discuss putting American consumers first and ensure that the digital asset market plays fair, should he be confirmed.
Republicans’ so-called SAVE Act would disenfranchise millions of women.
Choosing to marry, divorce, or change your name shouldn’t infringe on your right to vote.
A women’s voting rights advocate explained it in our hearing today.
The Federal Reserve plays a critical role in supporting our economy.
Today, I met with St. Louis Federal Reserve President and CEO Alberto Musalem to talk about their work to collect sound economic data and strengthen the economy in Illinois.
I just met with the ACLU of Illinois.
Their defense of individual freedom is exactly what our country needs right now.
I stand with them in that pursuit.
I agree with RFK Jr. on one thing: No one should be taking medical advice from him.
While spewing harmful conspiracies on vaccines and cutting medical research funding, his claims that he wants to “Make America Healthy Again” ring hollow.
234 law enforcement officers lost their lives in the line of duty last year.
They paid the ultimate sacrifice to keep our communities safe.
The Senate passed our resolution unanimously, standing in support of the fallen officers, their families, and law enforcement across the country.
The Copyright Office must remain independent to support American innovation.
Firing its head is illegal and threatens lasting damage.
The Trump Administration must reinstate the Librarian of Congress and rescind its directive to remove the Register of Copyrights.
“No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
President Trump’s $400 million private jet gifted from Qatar is blatantly unconstitutional.
Attorney General Bondi had a clear conflict of interest in the matter, but the Department has outrageously put ethical matters in the hands of two political appointees beholden to her.
We need answers.
Pres. Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine on day one. More than 100 days into his term, Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians.
I’m introducing a bill to prohibit U.S. recognition of any Ukrainian territory seized by Russia—reaffirming our commitment to the Ukrainian people.
Ms. María Corina Machado has bravely continued to push for respect of the legitimate 2024 Venezuelan presidential election results.
Today, I had the honor of speaking with her to remind her that the Venezuelan people’s democratic aspirations are not forgotten in the U.S. Senate.
Illinois ranks very low in conservation dollars sent by USDA.
We need more.
I’ll continue to advocate for these necessary funds.
Megan Dwyer is a fourth generation farmer from Coal Valley, Illinois. She serves as Director of Conservation and Nutrient Stewardship for the Illinois Corn Growers Association.
Her exceptional background made her a valuable witness at today’s Agriculture Committee hearing on conservation.
I shared as much with Mr. Edlow, and I asked him important questions on workforce cuts to USCIS staff, DACA, and family separation.
I look forward to hearing more from him under oath.
I will continue calling out their cruelty and illegality, as well as stress the need for serious bipartisan immigration reform to deliver for American communities and businesses that rely on immigrants.
The Trump Administration’s anti-immigrant record is a shameful betrayal of American values.
The Administration continues to ignore due process and wrongfully divert resources away from processing applications for lawful immigration status.
I just met with Joseph Edlow, President Trump’s pick to be Director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
He’s helped force out critical staff and gut the agency, which is responsible for keeping our lawful immigration system functioning.
My thoughts. A THREAD.
I sat down with the Community Bankers Association of Illinois to discuss how community banks provide essential financial services while reinvesting in the neighborhoods they serve.
The mere notion that the President would cravenly accept a $400 million attempt to win favor from a foreign power is beyond the pale and reeks of corruption.
I’m joining Senator Schatz to reaffirm what our Constitution makes clear – no President should receive gifts from a foreign power.
