I met with Sangeetha Rayapati, Mayor of Moline, to discuss the City’s efforts to revitalize the I-74 Riverfront. Projects like this, and the Chicago-Quad Cities Rail Project, would boost connectivity and economic development for generations to come.

We’ve all taken issue with the outcomes of court cases at times.
But we must ALWAYS value and respect the independence of the judiciary.
Our Constitution demands it.
Another day of the Trump Administration making America less safe.
Grateful to have the chance to meet with members of the Federal Bar Association today.
They’re nonpartisan frontliners in defending the rule of law, especially when the judicial system is under attack.
The work researchers do with NIH funding saves lives. To call NIH “wasteful spending” is shameful.
Thank you Senator Welch and @baldwin.senate.gov for hosting today’s forum on this very important issue.
The answer is yes. The Justice Department should investigate the Signal group chat fiasco.
For too long, Big Tech’s dangers couldn’t break the stranglehold it had on Congress.
Things are beginning to change.
We have to regulate social media companies, and I said as much to the brave survivors and advocates I met with today.
The Trump Administration has unleashed havoc and fear on immigrant communities.
They fail to recognize that immigrants helped build our nation and have contributed greatly to our society and economy.
Glad to meet with business leaders who rely on immigrants today.
I’ve sent MORE THAN 20 oversight requests to the Trump Administration.
I haven’t received a meaningful response to the vast majority of them.
Today, Senate Chuck Grassley and I introduced the bipartisan Cameras in the Courtroom Act to require the Supreme Court to permit television coverage of open sessions of the Court—allowing Americans to finally watch cases that affect them.
It’s time to put cameras in the Supreme Court.
Elon Musk’s hacksaw to the Social Security Administration has thrown it into chaos.
Millions of Americans depend on Social Security, but Elon Musk’s mismanagement has made it even harder for them to access their earned benefits.
This is no way to run an agency.
President Trump and Attorney General Bondi are using the Justice Department to go after political enemies for THEIR benefit, not YOURS.
Liz Oyer was terminated after doing the right thing. We must get to the bottom of it.
This was a war plan, and American lives were at risk. We should deal with it in that seriousness. This matter must be investigated by the Department of Justice. To dismiss it, as the President tried yesterday, is incredible and not fair to our men and women in uniform.
This is a serious life and death matter and should be treated as such. I believe that DNI Director Gabbard and CIA Director Ratcliffe intentionally misled Congress yesterday in trying to make us believe that this was a casual conversation.
It is outrageous to suggest that what was shared on this Signal text chain was not classified material. We are talking about an attack on another country and the possible endangerment of the men and women in the United States’ military.
My statement on the national security failures of senior members of the Trump Administration. 🧵
Ghost guns are nearly untraceable, growingly popular, and used to commit serious crimes.
I’m relieved the Supreme Court upheld these regulations to keep people safe.
Commonsense prevailed.
Reposted bySenator Dick Durbin
Sen. DURBIN: Was the January 6th riot protected free speech?
Republican witness: To the extent there was peaceful protest.
Durbin: So, some of those pardoned by President Trump crossed the line and were guilty of criminal conduct?
Witness: Yes.
NIH needs a Director who will fight back against President Trump’s misguided and dangerous proposals that threaten to delay new cures and treatments. I do not believe Dr. Bhattacharya is that person.
