Trump’s first 100 Days have thrown our country into chaos.
His Administration is intent on dismantling the Justice Department… and we’re already suffering the consequences.

@duckworth.senate.gov and I spoke with members of Champaign County First to discuss priority projects in the region.
I'll continue to push back against the Trump Administration and fight for the federal funding Illinois needs.
International exchange programs, like Fulbright and Gilman, make our country stronger and better.
I met with leaders and students of the Institute of the International Education to discuss protecting vital State Department funding from the Trump Administration’s reckless cuts.
It is critical that our rural communities have access to electric, natural gas, and broadband.
Today, I met with former Congressman John Cox and JCE Co-op leadership to discuss their progress in making this possible and the federal support they need.
In his first 100 days, President Trump has tested the bounds of our Constitution, tanked our economy, and destroyed our image abroad. Yet, my Republican colleagues have remained silent.
I implore my Republican colleagues: remember that you swore an oath to the Constitution, not the President.

Ed Martin, Donald Trump’s pick for U.S. Attorney in DC, told us *under oath* that he hadn’t seen photos of a pardoned insurrectionist posing as Hitler before giving him an award.
But Martin talked about it on his podcast weeks before… and called it “goofing around.”
850 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have already been filed in state legislatures this year… the most in history.
It’s past time for federal civil rights protections.

BREAKING: Ed Martin, Donald Trump’s pick for U.S. Attorney in DC, submits false statements under oath, dodges 80+ questions in written responses submitted to the committee.
LGBTQ+ Americans can be discriminated against because of who they are and who they love.
Unacceptable.
I’m proud to join in reintroducing the Equality Act. LGBTQ+ Americans must be protected under federal civil rights laws. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
The Trump Administration is ruthlessly attacking public broadcasting.
I met with Sharon Percy Rockefeller, CEO of WETA, to discuss the importance of Public Broadcasting and the need to fund it.
Our democracy depends on it.
A tragic accident out of Chatham, Illinois. My team is closely monitoring the situation.
My heart goes out to the community and families. This is an unspeakable loss.
The Trump Administration should reconsider its decisions to revoke student visas and commit to following federal law.
Students who are in our country *legally* are confused about what they need to do to maintain their status and avoid detention or deportation.
The Trump Administration has to follow the law.
I’m pleased that EPA has granted our summertime E15 request again.
But let’s not forget—this wouldn’t be necessary if Elon Musk, owner of a competing technology, hadn’t stopped Congress from passing permanent E15 last year.
Visa and Mastercard dominate the credit and debit card markets, hurting our consumers and small businesses. That’s why I filed an amicus brief in support of IL’s Interchange Fee Prohibition Act, a state law that bars interchange fees on the tax and tips portion of credit and debit card transactions.
President Trump’s reckless and dangerous pardons are totally contrary to the rule of law.
The insurrectionists are back in communities and already reoffending.
Looking forward to this spotlight hearing.

BREAKING: Sen. DURBIN, Senate Judiciary Democrats to host spotlight hearing on Donald Trump’s blanket pardons and commutations for January 6th insurrectionists.
Donald Trump is selling out America to Putin and pleading with him by his first name on social media.
It has gotten us nothing but humiliation and more bombings in Ukraine.
Another day, another bar lowered by the Trump administration.
This time, U.S. citizen children deported thanks to the admin's rush to carry out their mass deportation agenda. This has to end. They have no authority to deport U.S. citizens.
