For 19 years, leaders from Bloomington-Normal have come to Washington to advocate for federal investment in their community. I had the pleasure of meeting with them today to discuss federal funding opportunities for their local infrastructure needs.

I just voted to stop the war in Iran.

Senate Republicans once again failed to hold Trump accountable. Today's vote sends us down a dangerous path into a potentially endless war. The American people don't want this war. Trump has no plan. This risks the lives of more of our troops and will lead to more skyrocketing costs at home.

US soldiers dying in another war of choice in the Middle East isn't just "the way it is." It's a failure by the Commander-in-Chief.

I just voted for @kaine.senate.gov's war powers resolution. This vote is a vote for the American people, who have said loud and clear that they do not want another forever war.

Our country does not want more Americans killed because of a reckless President that a Republican Congress refused to check. I just voted to END this war with Iran, and I urge my colleagues to join me.

Five days, five different explanations for why President Trump bombed Iran. The only thing that is clear is that this Administration seems to have no plan or strategy.

Our firefighters don’t think about a political party when they’re running into harm’s way to keep our families safe. Delivering the resources they need to continue their lifesaving work is never a partisan issue for me. wtaq.com/2026/03/02/d...

The Senate is about to vote on our War Powers Resolution. If just 5 Republican Senators won’t vote with Democrats to stop Donald Trump’s military madness, they alone will own the consequences of this reckless war.

Our troops volunteered to serve. They will always execute their mission to the best of their ability, no matter what is asked of them. And we should all be proud of their professionalism and sacrifices. But when these heroes are killed because of a needless war of choice, it is not the media…

Trump has no problem sending other people's kids off to war. But you know what he does have a problem with? Picking up the tab when they come home. We don't need a forever war with Iran, we need more nurses and doctors at the VA.

If only the United States had programs to support and strengthen the democratic elements in Iran that Trump now wants to rise up and overthrow the regime. Wait, we do—or at least we did, until Trump and DOGE gutted them last year.

In countries around the world, leaders are being held accountable for enabling Jeffrey Epstein’s horrific crimes and abuse of minors. But in America, Donald Trump’s Justice Dept. is still hiding 47,635 files – including those containing allegations of serious misconduct against Trump.

Flipping this seat won’t be easy, but James Talarico showed he knows how to inspire Texans with his vision for a better future. I'm ready to do my part to get him across the finish line this November, and I hope you'll join me. Control of the Senate may depend on it.

Outraged by the State Dept's unreadiness for evacuating Americans from the Middle East. This is a crisis of Trump's making. No plan for attacking Iran. And no plan for evacuating Americans. This isn't a natural disaster—it's a man-made one. And the man responsible is Trump.

Home prices are too high. Trump's tariffs on building materials are driving up their prices. My Housing Tariff Exclusion Act ends those tariffs, so home prices will be lower. If it sounds straightforward, that's because it is.

Here in the Senate, we have a chance to say no more to Donald Trump's military insanity. Today the Senate will vote on a bipartisan war powers resolution led by me, @kaine.senate.gov, @schiff.senate.gov, and Senator Rand Paul to put a STOP to military activity in Iran. We must act.

Trump fossil fuel flunkies’ “national security” pretext for polluters is wearing thin. It went 0-for-6 on offshore wind, and letting coking facilities pollute locally for “national security” reasons seems quite the stretch.
