I joined my colleagues in a letter to the Trump Admin reaffirming our bipartisan support for the CDFI Fund.
CDFIs boost economic growth in underserved communities by providing low-interest rate loans that support affordable housing, small businesses, and health care centers.

GSA and DOGE terminated 24 leases of buildings in IL used by federal agencies. This will cause serious disruptions to critical federal services for Illinoisans.
Today, members of the IL Congressional delegation and I are requesting information about the impacts of these terminations.
Rural hospitals like Taylorville Memorial are the backbone of their local economies.
But GOP threats to gut Medicaid could harm these hospitals, their patients, & the communities they serve.
I will fight to defend health care in IL.
Russian attacks on a Ukrainian hospital and civilian targets happened just after a call with President Trump on a ceasefire. Putin continues to play Trump. This is no surprise to anyone.
On top of firing more veterans than any Administration, Pres. Trump and Elon Musk are now erasing the stories of our American military heroes.
America is proud of our military heroes, regardless of their gender, race, sexual orientation, or religion.
The Trump Admin is firing scientists who are dedicated to protecting public health. They work on analyzing the harms of and finding solutions to PFAS, microplastics, and other pollutants.
Put simply, Pres. Trump is putting American lives at risk so corporations can work without regulation.
Pres. Trump and Elon Musk have moved to limit Social Security phone services.
On top of reductions to staff and SSA office closures, this will harms seniors and people with disabilities.
This isn’t efficiency, it’s the world’s richest man blocking Americans from accessing their earned benefits.
I recently called on the Senate to pass a measure saying that any peace agreement in Ukraine must include returning these abducted children.
Republicans objected. Now we know why. President Trump is surrendering these kids to Putin.
The FTC is an independent agency that works to protect consumers from fraudsters and price gouging.
The Administration’s illegal firing of two commissioners sends a clear message: Pres. Trump cares more about his billionaire buddies than hardworking Americans.
The Trump Administration is detaining migrant families again. This policy has proven to be harmful, cruel, ineffective, and costly.
President Trump must abandon any plan to bring back family detention—and explore humane, evidence-based alternatives.
My 2025 U.S. Service Academy nominations application is officially open for students seeking a nomination to one of four U.S. service academies.
If you’re an Illinois resident who meets the age requirements and is interested in pursuing a career in military service, visit:
Medicaid cuts being pushed by congressional Republicans would rip away health care access and coverage to seniors, children, veterans, and people with disabilities.
Why? To pay for their billionaire buddies’ tax breaks. @democrats.senate.gov won’t let this happen.
I visited Roseland Hospital today, where two out of three patients are covered by Medicaid.
Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of Illinoisans, and yet Republicans in Congress are trying to dismantle it—in order to give a tax break to billionaires.
Medicaid is a lifeline for rural hospitals in IL. The deep cuts to Medicaid that Republicans are calling for would jeopardize health services & risk hospital closures.
I’m fighting to protect health care in rural IL.
In Illinois, Medicaid comes in many names. If you’re enrolled in All Kids, FamilyCare, ACA Adults, Moms & Babies, Former Foster Care, and AABD medical, Republican cuts could affect your health care coverage.
Republicans want to cut Medicaid to give billionaires a giant tax break.
In Illinois, 35% of children are enrolled in Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
These cuts would hurt children and devastate working families.
President Trump and Attorney General Bondi are rolling back our capacity to fight against foreign and domestic election security threats.
Election workers must know that they can rely on the Department of Justice to uphold the law and protect them.
The Trump Administration is deporting immigrants without due process, based solely on their nationality.
Courts determine whether people have broken the law.
Not a President acting solo… and not immigration agents cherry-picking who gets imprisoned or deported.
NOAA programs play an essential role in protecting the Great Lakes and supporting the constituents who call the Lakes home. Firing staff that run these programs jeopardizes our greatest natural treasures.
I joined @klobuchar.senate.gov to demand answers on these terminations and potential impacts.
I will continue to fight against Donald Trump’s reckless, and in many instances, illegal attempts to gut the federal government. He is testing our system of checks and balances like they haven’t been tested in my lifetime. The fight continues.
