The racist and xenophobic attacks by two state Delegates targeting Del. Chao Wu are vile, disturbing, and completely unacceptable.

It’s undeniable that the climate crisis is bringing more severe flooding to Illinois. I joined @duckworth.senate.gov and @quigley.house.gov to introduce the Flood Mapping Modernization and Homeowner Empowerment Pilot Program Act to support urban communities and governments preparing for flood risks.

Once again, I voted to end Trump’s costly war in Iran, supporting @merkley.senate.gov's War Powers Resolution. For the SEVENTH time, Republicans blocked it. Gas, groceries, airline tickets… Americans’ wallets can’t take much more of this.

Stephanie and Juan did everything they were asked to by our government. But that didn’t matter. The Trump Administration wrongfully targeted and detained Juan, impacting his entire family. Pass the Dream Act.

The Supreme Court is on a mission to dilute Black voting power and weaken the protections generations fought to secure. The Roberts' Court's assault on the Voting Rights Act needs to end.

Kash Patel has gutted FBI field offices, bungled investigations, and – according to numerous accounts – misused government resources to party around the world. Americans are less safe with Patel at the helm of our federal law enforcement.

Enough of the chaos. Enough of the lies. Enough of dragging America toward an illegal war that the American people never asked for. I’ve been against Trump’s war in Iran since day one. Just now, I voted AGAIN to put an end to it. Republicans just blocked it for the SEVENTH time.

Workers at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard deserve to know that their concerns are being taken seriously by the Federal Labor Relations Authority. I'm calling on the agency to explain why it has refused to process a complaint filed by members of the Shipyard's Metal Trades Council.

I voted YES on @merkley.senate.gov’s War Powers Res. and while I hoped my Republican colleagues would vote to help Americans struggling with rising costs, they did not. To be clear, Republicans do not care about how much this war costs, they only care about appeasing the President.

His agencies are burying reports showing vaccines are safe and effective — including data that COVID vaccines significantly reduced hospitalizations. Americans deserve honesty, transparency, and leadership that puts science first.

Businesses are reporting “recession-level industry decline” because of President Trump’s Iran War, but Senate Republicans for the SEVENTH time blocked a resolution requiring Congress to approve further military action against Iran. Americans are paying the price for this reckless conflict.

Three federal judges tried to override decades of science and ban a medication the FDA has deemed safe for 25 years. The Supreme Court put that decision on hold—but the fight isn’t over. We must keep fighting to protect reproductive freedom.

Plus, all that stuff really sucks and is even dangerous, so we should be honor-bound to fight it even if it were a losing and unpopular fight. So when it’s actually a winner, there’s really no excuse.

They’re ahead of us knowing that climate change is increasing their costs. And they’re ahead of us knowing that fossil fuel has too much influence. And they’re ahead of us knowing that an oligarchy of billionaire CEOs and wealthy donors and large corporations is a problem.
- SW
So if we wanted to have a fight about the fossil fuel billionaire CEOs, the wealthy fossil fuel donors and the large fossil fuel corporations who wield too much influence and do too much damage, once again we’re pushing on an open door. The people are actually ahead of us.
- SW
2. Then, if you look at the industries whose influence people are most concerned about, the top one is oil and gas companies, numero uno. People are sick of the fossil fuel industry having too much influence (that’s bad news for fossil-fuel sock-puppet Republicans, btw).

Donald Trump thinks the U.S. Treasury is his personal piggy bank. Let's be clear: the President is trying to steal $10 BILLION of taxpayer money - before a court rules. This is a massive, unprecedented scandal. Congress must stop him. I have a bill for that.
