Trump is pushing costs up even higher and destroying our health.

By abandoning the Endangerment Finding, President Trump is ignoring decades of scientific research and turning his back on Coloradans facing devastating wildfires, floods, and droughts driven by climate change.

Corporate crooks stole money from their investors and defrauded Americans. They were convicted of crimes. Then Donald Trump got involved. I asked Trump's SEC Chair about what happened next.

The “love tax.” 💔 Trump’s tariffs are making life more expensive for all Americans. “Not even Cupid is spared.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

ICE and CBP are using facial recognition to surveil Americans and target protesters. No transparency. No accountability. We need to pass my ICE Out of Our Faces Act to ban this abuse and defend our constitutional rights. www.youtube.com/shorts/QpHZT...

As this regime touts its cruel immigration enforcement tactics, this is what Trump and Republicans think is making America great.

After two weeks of negotiations, it’s clear the Trump administration and Republicans are not serious about reining in this goon-squad violence against American citizens.

There's got to be a lot more accountability for a lot more people in Epstein's world. That's why I'm not letting up on my follow the money investigation.

Americans’ opinions about cryptocurrency are crystal clear. In a recent survey, 61% said they oppose using taxpayer dollars to bail out the crypto industry—including 57% of Trump supporters. Will the White House and Congressional Republicans protect the taxpayers or their rich crypto donors?

You deserve clarity on the actions ICE has taken on our streets.

Minnesota has shown the world how to protect democracy and take care of our neighbors. We will continue to stand up for justice and for the rights of all in our state.

The ICE budget that Republicans passed into law does not reflect the values of Minnesota or of America. The $75 billion extra that Republicans gave ICE could have funded three full years of health care tax credits to lower costs for millions of Americans. The American people have had enough.

🚨 This is another win for Big Oil and other big polluters at the expense of everyone else. Instead of giving polluters a free ride, we should pass my Polluters Pay bill to make them — not all of us — pay the bill for the huge amount of damage they’ve caused.

I don't care if Stephen Miller wants ICE to be able to beat up, shoot, or detain citizens. In America, we believe in due process. We believe in our Constitution. We believe in law and order—safe streets, law enforcement we can trust. If you don’t like that? Go to Russia.

ICE agents need to have body cameras on and masks off. They need to abide by the same code of conduct as local law enforcement. This is common sense. Republicans in Congress need to join us in reining in ICE agents so we can end the chaos in our streets.

Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty of enabling Jeffrey Epstein's horrific crimes against minors. She’s the last person on Earth who should EVER be granted a pardon by Donald Trump – yet he won’t rule it out.

Your eyes don’t lie. We’ve all seen the horrific videos of ICE in Minnesota. No matter what Republican lawmakers try to tell us or who they try to blame, Americans know the truth about what’s happening here. And it can’t be allowed to happen here — or anywhere else — ever again.

Enough is enough. While Trump has played political games, New Jersey workers’ jobs and livelihoods have hung in the balance. The money Trump owes for the Gateway Tunnel Project must be released immediately.

While the president is gutting health care for working New Yorkers, he's diverting our tax dollars to ICE, creating chaos in our communities and making us less safe. Absent meaningful reforms, I will not support a blank check for President Trump’s lawlessness. Read my statement:

Today, I confronted Jeremy Carl, Trump's nominee to a top State Department role, about his history of racist remarks, including ridiculous claims that white people are experiencing a “cultural genocide.” He is clearly unqualified to represent us abroad. youtube.com/shorts/xeb_I...

President Trump promised that other countries would pay for his tariffs. The truth: American businesses and consumers paid nearly 90% of tariff costs in 2025. With prices rising and paychecks stretched thin, working families are paying the price for Trump’s reckless trade agenda.

The President and his cabinet have suggested having masked ICE agents encircling polling places. It's not fantasy, and it's not made up. And we need to be clear-eyed about that.

Republicans rebranded their original SAVE Act to the SAVE America Act, but its goal is the same. They want to stop Americans from using their RIGHT to vote. I was a no then, I’ll be a no now.

It’s been 117 years since the NAACP was founded in the wake of the Springfield Race Riots, where Black Illinoisans lost their homes, businesses and lives. Out of tragedy came a new era of leadership. Because when Americans face oppression, we come together and demand better.

I voted NO on the Republican DHS bill, as it does nothing to hold ICE agents accountable or stop families from being torn apart. Senate Republicans refused to guarantee basic accountability measures, leaving critical agencies like FEMA and TSA without funding while the Senate takes week off.
- MH
Today I voted NO to more funding for ICE. Democrats demanded common-sense guardrails on ICE and CBP. But Republicans would rather shut down DHS than do anything to rein in the lawlessness and chaos of this regime. No guardrails, no funding.

The Trump administration is systematically targeting unaccompanied children for removal, detaining kids for long periods in inhumane conditions, and dismantling child-friendly protections. This is vile and unconscionable. Kids belong with their families—not living behind bars. End this terror.
- LR
Yet another example of this administration’s willingness to prioritize polluters over the American people. Americans will be left to deal with the impacts of this decision on top of already rising costs and a failing healthcare system.

Today’s ruling was a victory for free speech, but don’t expect Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth to give up. We have to keep standing up to this Administration when they undermine Americans’ rights.

Should we be letting any weirdo with an iPhone into our child care centers asking to see proof of kids? Of course not. But that is what is happening. And Trump is promoting it! That's NOT a serious way to uncover fraud in this country, and it's putting our children in harms way.

Donald Trump is bragging that he's “very proud” of this economy. But his first year in office was marked by the weakest job growth in more than a decade outside of Covid. Trump needs to stop denying reality and start fixing the economic pain he's caused.

We can keep our communities safe without having masked federal agents terrorizing people and killing Americans in the street. That's all Democrats are asking for.

“Since I got to this center all you will feel is sadness and mostly depression.” These are the words of a 14-year-old held in an immigration detention center. Trump is spending your tax dollars keeping kids like Ariana in detention, not lowering costs.

BREAKING: Trump’s EPA just repealed the landmark endangerment finding to give polluters a free pass. The science is clear: greenhouse gas pollution presents a clear and present danger to our health and planet. No amount of denial from Trump or Zeldin will change that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkWf...

Detaining children, killing citizens, and creating violent chaos – Americans have made it clear they’ve had enough of ICE and CBP’s recklessness in our communities. Enough is enough. But what will it take for it to be enough for Republicans?

I met with members of the Illinois Soybean Association today to discuss federal policies that support our state’s farmers. President Trump broke his promise to farmers. It’s time to fix farm markets by ending his tariffs, creating new markets like E15, and focusing on farm checkbooks.

Gail Slater was confirmed with broad bipartisan support because she was committed to fairly enforcing our antitrust laws. That's the same reason she was pushed out. This administration wants full control over DOJ to help the Epstein class, and they're hoping we all don't notice.

MAGA continues to gin up violent threats against judges. Trump U.S. Attorneys were just asked to investigate judges for impeachment.* MAGA DOJ still refuses to confirm it will investigate orchestration of threats.

Today, we had a choice: give ICE a blank check to continue wreaking havoc on Americans, or say no and that we need to do better. I know better is possible, but the White House and Republicans need to get serious and listen to the American people who are demanding ICE be reined in.

Trump’s SBA is ratcheting up its discriminatory attacks on immigrants. The result? Local economies and small businesses are suffering. The Small Business Administration must rescind its draconian citizenship rule and give entrepreneurs a fair shot at the American dream.

Today, Republicans in Congress tried to shovel billions to ICE without any restraints whatsoever AGAIN. Their bill doesn’t even make ICE follow the same rules that as local police officers. I voted NO.

I am calling on ICE to immediately release Seamus Culleton. It is appalling that Seamus has remained in detention for 5 months in dire conditions, away from his family. As a spouse of a U.S. citizen with strong Massachusetts ties, there is no justification for keeping him detained. Release him now.

Trump tried to throw two US senators of the opposite party in jail simply because he didn’t like what they said. This is an attack on free speech. This is an attack on democracy. This is an attack on the rule of law. And the American people won’t stand for it.

My mentor, Senator Paul Simon, started the Illinois Constituent Coffee tradition to bridge the gap between people and policymaking. 41 years later, I am happy to continue his tradition and hear directly from Illinoisans about the issues that matter most.
