FDA’s work is life and death. From disease outbreaks to drug shortages. Families rely on the FDA every time they go to the pharmacy, and every time they sit down for a meal. But Trump wants to put politics over science. America deserves better than this dumpster fire.

From Chicago to Carbondale, Illinois’ hotels bring visitors to our state and support our economy. Today, I met with the Illinois Hotel & Lodging Association to discuss how Congress can help with the issues facing Illinois hotels.

When it comes to this Administration's treatment of dreamers, Stephen Miller is being a racist and a coward.

Seven Michigan cities and towns across three days. Nothing I like more in this job than being in Michigan and taking what I learn back to the Senate.

24 sources told The Atlantic that Kash Patel’s heavy drinking impeded his ability to do his job. He denied it. He also told provable lies during this hearing. And at the end, he refused to acknowledge that is a crime to lie to Congress. It is.

The cruelty is the point. Dreamers and DACA recipients have lived here, married here, had kids here, and contributed here for years. I’ve spent 20+ years fighting for Dreamers. I will spend the rest of my time in the Senate continuing that fight.

The President continues to tell us that he is ready and willing to send in the active duty military or ICE to polling locations this fall. We need to believe him and prepare accordingly.

The Trump Administration is destroying livelihoods of humans who have known no other country besides America as their own. Shameful.

This temporary pause proves what we already knew — DHS rushed this process without undertaking the proper legal reviews. The people of Roxbury don’t want this massive detention center in their backyard. I will continue pressing Sec. Mullin to abandon this project.

Honored to meet the crew of Artemis II and hear about their mission to the moon. It was especially exciting to speak with Reid Wiseman. Proud to see a Maryland native leading this era of space exploration.

Trump gutted the National Science Foundation’s workforce. Tried to cut its budget in half—twice. Now he's fired NSF’s board without any explanation. This is Trump's anti-science, anti-innovation agenda at work. We demand answers, now.

If FBI Director Patel wants to pass out branded bourbon or pop bottles in a locker room, he should stick to podcasting. This is a serious job & I don't believe the American people can count on him. Patel should never have been confirmed. He should resign or be fired.

Budgets say a lot about priorities. Here is what Republicans are focused on: giving ICE and Border Patrol nearly $70 billion dollars and setting aside $1 billion for Trump's ballroom. And Oregon families? They're left out in the cold.

Wisconsin farmers were already feeling squeezed by Trump's trade war, now they are facing skyrocketing costs from Trump's war of choice in Iran. Farmers just want a fair shot to succeed. This war must end now.

The State of Washington is already seeing real-world impacts from sea-level rise, but Sen. Johnson of Wisconsin blocked a Senate resolution to simply recognize the problem. We cannot bury our heads in the sand with so much at risk.

Trump and RFK Jr.'s drastic cuts at the CDC have left us exposed. It took an entire month for the Administration to stand up a CDC-led team to respond to Hantavirus. That is unacceptable. And I intend to demand answers.

The Iran War. Tariff wars. Trump's policies and actions have pushed costs far higher than when he took office.

This ruling is significant. Federal law enforcement must be held to the same standards we expect from the best of our local police departments. DHS and ICE urgently need aggressive reforms to ensure their actions are grounded in law, respect due process, and restore public trust.

A federal judge in Colorado has confirmed what we’ve been warning about: under President Trump, ICE agents are not properly trained and are carrying out warrantless arrests in violation of the law — disregarding people's rights.

Trump has spent almost $30 billion on his war in Iran — the same amount that Senate Republicans said was too much to spend on lowering healthcare premiums for working Americans. They literally chose war in Iran over the American people.

IMO, another big fat Trumpian favor for the fossil fuel industry. Maybe paired with our excess profits clawback bill this makes sense, but not while they’re busy gorging themselves at the public’s expense.

The only person who wants this is Trump. If President Trump wants to honor America’s 250th, he should listen to what Americans are actually asking for: lower costs, affordable health care, and an end to the war of choice in Iran.
