Republicans’ cuts to essential services that help working class American families are shameful.
They’re selling off the promise of the American Dream piece by piece.

Billionaires win, families lose.
That’s the short version of Republicans’ 1,000+ pages of reckless cuts in their tax bill.
Disappointing.
The Trump Admin wants to end temporary protected status for some Venezuelans and deport them to their home country, which is embroiled in chaos, violence, and danger… and this decision greenlights it.
Three days before Friday’s dust storm blew through central Illinois and up to Chicago, I was sounding the alarm on Illinois’ need for additional USDA funding for cover crops to help prevent these storms in the first place.
After visiting two ICE facilities, we have more evidence to confirm that the Trump Administration is:
Targeting the vulnerable.
Punishing innocent people.
Wasting taxpayer dollars.
And none of it makes us safer.
My staff heard directly from those detained at ICE detention facilities.
Mahmoud Khalil: “The moment you walk into Jena, your rights remain outside.”
Rumeysa Öztürk: “They treat us like animals.”
My staff visited two ICE detention facilities in Louisiana.
What’s happening in these facilities is abhorrent, and I’m revealing these devastating insights for the world to see.
The cruelty and inhumanity of the Trump Administration’s illegal mass deportation scheme knows no bounds.
Praying for my friend and former colleague, Joe Biden, after hearing news of his diagnosis. Loretta and I will be keeping Joe, the entire Biden family, and the medical professionals treating him in our thoughts during this time. Continue to keep the faith, Joe.

BREAKING: Supreme Court rules 7-2 that migrants facing deportation must have a real chance to raise legal objections, dealing major blow to Trump immigration agenda.
President Trump is illegally disappearing people without due process… and now threatening to suspend habeas corpus.
How far will it have to go for Republicans to finally break their silence?

BREAKING: Senate Judiciary Democrats call for hearing on Trump’s violation of the right to due process, in letter to Sen. Grassley.
Today, I visited Springfield Memorial Hospital to talk about lowering Rx drug prices. While Trump talks about it, Dems delivered: capping insulin costs & letting Medicare negotiate prices.
Worse, Republicans now want to slash Medicaid to give tax breaks to billionaires. I’m fighting back.
Our country’s commitment to due process defines us as a free nation.
President Trump has repeatedly departed from that obligation.
We’re calling for a much-needed hearing on the right to due process.
Republicans know that cutting Social Security is a political landmine… but wealthy interests are relentlessly whispering in their ears to do it.
So, they’re trying to find workarounds… like illegally listing LIVING, LEGAL immigrants as “dead” and spreading lies about the master files.
Accepting a $400M luxury jet gift from a foreign government doesn’t just reek corruption, it poses real national security risks that could cost taxpayers billions.
I joined @duckworth.senate.gov in demanding answers on the security vulnerabilities of this plane and updates it would need.
Another successful Constituent Coffee with @duckworth.senate.gov!
Thanks to every Illinoisan who came out to join us and voice their concerns on Medicaid cuts and airline safety.
President Trump’s Social Security Administration is listing living, legal immigrants as “dead” in its master files.
It’s illegal—and it’s intended to intimidate legal immigrants to self-deport.
We’re pushing back.
Chicagoland is the rail hub of North America.
It’s critical that we keep transportation working and moving in the area.
Today, I pressed Transportation Sec. Duffy on ensuring Illinois has the transportation funds it needs to ensure efficient and safe train operations in our country.
Our democracy depends on the freedom of the press. Yet, the Trump Admin continues to threaten journalists, news outlets, and public media.
I met with Illinois NPR leaders to reiterate my support for Illinois public media.
I'll continue to fight to protect their funding.
