I’m deeply saddened to hear about the loss of @LtGovStratton’s father over the weekend. My heart and condolences are with the Lieutenant Governor and her entire family during this difficult time.

BREAKING: The House just passed my bipartisan legislation to help make it easier for moms to get through airport security and travel with the breastmilk they need for their newborns. Now it heads to the President's desk to be signed into law.

The House passed S. 260 – Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Enhancement Act by voice vote.

Alice Wong was a champion for the disability community who devoted her life to building a more inclusive world for all of us. America is better for her advocacy. Rest in power.

A monstrous, illegal waste of taxpayer dollars. Donald Trump must confirm if this estimate is true and disclose the full total he's burned through with his unlawful military deployment into our cities. The American people deserve to know.

Trump said he'd “bring the cost of everything way down" on day one. Well, it's been nearly a year—and Illinois families are spending $766 more on basic necessities due to inflation. This might be pennies to his billionaire buddies. But it's a gut punch for the middle class.

My thoughts are with Reverend Jackson and his family tonight—wishing my friend a swift recovery.

This Veterans Day, we honor those who put on the uniform to keep our country safe.   But our heroes deserve more than applause once a year—they deserve to be honored every day, not with layoffs or cuts jeopardizing their care.   We owe it to them to do right by those who served.

It’s just plain stupid to encourage our most experienced controllers to quit, given the job’s rigorous training and the shortage of controllers. We should be trying to retain our most experienced controllers, not slandering them and pushing them to leave their careers early.

Happy 250th Birthday @USMC🎉 Thankful for the service and sacrifice of all the U.S. Marines who have served with distinction for the last 250 years— And who will continue to embody their motto of “Semper Fidelis” for the next 250.

Trump and Republicans refuse to fight for American families, but I refuse to give up on them. I simply cannot vote to do nothing to help protect them from Trump’s vindictive efforts in exchange for a vague promise from the least trustworthy Republican party in our nation’s

I literally spoke with a mother whose son is terrified that his teacher, Miss Diana, was taken. Republicans are siding with ICE’s lies and cruelty over our children.

If Trump believes war is necessary, he must bring his case to Congress and prove why it's worth turning more moms and dads into Gold Star parents.   Let Congress debate. Let us vote. It's our duty.

Time and again, Trump's agents are using excessive force that “shocks the conscience.” Just this week, they violently tore a teacher—with legal work authorization—from a preschool as children watched on in horror. I'm demanding investigations. Trump has gone too far.

Today, I voted in support of a resolution that would force Trump to get congressional approval before using military force against Venezuela. Senate Republicans blocked it—ceding their constitutional authority to Trump. Once again, they bent the knee to a wanna-be king.

This judge ordered the Trump Administration to release all its SNAP funding by Friday because, in his own words, "Children are immediately at risk of going hungry." How sick do you have to be to appeal that order? Our President straight up wants kids to starve.

Donald Trump is dragging us closer to war with Venezuela— Bypassing Congress and endangering our troops. Today, I'm voting to block the Administration from illegally using military force against Venezuela. https://t.co/8gtfX02dFg

Armed agents are chasing teachers through preschools. Toddlers are watching in horror. This doesn't do a damn thing to make us safer. Trump is going after people with work permits, not the "worst of the worst." And he's traumatizing our kids for life.
