Illinois often struggles to receive adequate federal aid after severe weather strikes. I joined @duckworth.senate.gov to reintroduce the Fairness in Federal Disaster Declarations Act to fix the broken metrics FEMA uses to determine disaster assistance and ease the financial burden on Illinoisans.

If we want to hear from the person really in charge of the country tonight, shouldn’t Stephen Miller be giving the speech?

Tonight, President Trump will tell us not to believe what we can see with our own eyes. His ICE agents are running lawless through our streets. Life is unaffordable and his tariffs stole from families and small businesses. We all can see it, no matter how they spin it.

The SAVE America Act passed by the House of Representatives and under consideration by the Senate will cost Washingtonians time, money, and maybe even their vote. We need to fight back. www.columbian.com/news/2026/fe...

The Trump administration is purposely ripping away the ability for pregnant children to get the health care they need. Think about that—CHILDREN. Many who are victims of rape. This is sick and the American people deserve answers.

Global Entry saves 300,000 officer hours at 79 ports of entry. Shuttering it is wasteful and stupid. The administration should be focused on real solutions to come to the table and secure ICE reforms, not stupid political stunts to punish Americans.

This is just part of the Trump administration’s plan to abolish the Department of Education, threatening to delay or cut off the support that local schools and students rely on. Just disgraceful.

Last week, the Supreme Court ruled Donald Trump illegally taxed Americans to the tune of $175 billion. I’m cosponsoring @wyden.senate.gov’s legislation to require that Trump refund those tariffs. Mr. President, give American consumers and small businesses back the money that you owe them.

Trump’s reckless tariffs cost the American people more than $130 billion over the past year. He took money from your pockets, the Supreme Court said it was illegal, and now he wants to keep it. The American people deserve a refund now.

Hours before Trump addresses Congress and the country, there’s new reporting that the Justice Department continues to protect Trump from more damning documents in the Epstein Files. There will be survivors in the room tonight. He owes them an apology.

If President Trump has nothing to hide in the Epstein Files, why is his Admin apparently still withholding critical documents that mention his name? Survivors deserve justice. The American people deserve to see the evidence. Abusers must be held accountable.

On top of wasting your taxpayer money on whatever this is, he is hiding the truth of the Epstein files and protecting the powerful instead of seeking justice for the victims. What an embarrassment of an FBI Director.

This Admin is trying to silence experts for telling the truth: Americans are paying the price for tariffs. I’m leading colleagues in demanding the White House stop bullying non-partisan researchers for reporting data that doesn’t fit their narrative.

A whistleblower just told Congress that ICE is teaching new recruits to violate the Constitution. They’re telling agents to enter homes and arrest people without a judicial warrant. This war on our American rights and freedoms has to stop.

No matter what Donald Trump says tonight, the American people already know that he's failed to lower costs, failed working families, and failed to uphold the Constitution. I’ll be there, because I won’t let him or anyone else intimidate me or keep me from doing my job.

If you’re watching tonight’s State of the Union, don’t expect answers on: ❌Skyrocketing health costs ❌Layoffs and shuttered small businesses ❌The 38,000 mentions of Trump in the Epstein files ❌The murder of Americans at the hands of ICE ❌Solutions for people like you

This is EXACTLY why I pushed the Trump Admin to reverse course on its attempt to no longer classify swastikas and nooses as prohibited hate symbols. Antisemitism is very real and we need to do everything we can to fight it everywhere. I am glad the Commandant is taking this seriously.

Four years ago, Putin launched a deadly, unprovoked, and unjustified war against Ukraine, and the continued horror inflicted on the Ukrainian people is barbaric. I will keep working to ensure Ukraine has the support needed to defend itself and win back peace and security.

Well: reporting confirms it – the Justice Department withheld Epstein files that contained allegations about Trump abusing a minor. What are these people trying to hide?

President Trump promised to lower prices. Instead, we’ve seen housing prices soar, rising health care costs and increased prices due to tariffs—squeezing families when they can least afford it. As we prepare for tonight’s State of the Union, remember: Actions speak louder than words.

Today marks 4 years since Putin’s brutal war in Ukraine began. Just last week, I saw firsthand in Odessa the courage of Ukrainians—civilians, soldiers, leaders—fighting for their freedom amid unspeakable cruelty. The US must keep pressure on Russia and demand accountability for Putin’s aggression.

You deserve a refund of the money Trump’s tariffs illegally cost you. That's why I helped introduce legislation that would require Trump to send his illegal tariff revenue back to the American people. This is your money.

Glad to see the British authorities pursuing justice and rooting out the foul stench of depravity wherever it lives, whether it’s in the royal family or an ambassador’s residence. Our own government needs to start doing the same.

From betting space missions will explode to predicting a Ukrainian town would be captured by the Russians — betting on death is dangerous and flat out wrong. I'm calling on the CFTC Chair to commit to follow the law and explicitly prohibit gambling on people's lives.

I am glad to see detained Uyghur doctor Gulshan Abbas’s daughter will attend the State of the Union. I have long called for Dr. Abbas’s release and President Trump’s upcoming visit to China is a chance to resolve her detention along with the cases of Jimmy Lai and Pastor Jin Mingri.

The American people are simply asking for the truth, and Congress passed a bipartisan law to release the full Epstein Files. It’s impossible to understand the Trump Administration ignoring the law and redacting so heavily unless they’re hiding something. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

Four years ago, Russia launched its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, starting a war that has brought death and destruction to millions. Through it all, the Ukrainian people have remained strong. I’ll continue standing with them in their quest for freedom against tyranny.
