We’re over a month into this war and the costs have been immeasurable. This week, I’m updating you on the four key issues I am thinking about as this war rages.

It’s Tax Day. Don’t forget to file, and also don’t forget that this Administration got rid of the free IRS Direct File program, gave tax breaks to billionaires, reduced the staff of the IRS by one-fourth, and cut the budget for investigating sophisticated tax schemes.

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than: Tesla Southwest Disney Live Nation HP United PayPal CVS Health Palantir Citigroup PG&E 3M That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax. It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

Pleased to see that the Senate Energy Committee will be holding a Subcommittee hearing today on my REDUCE Act. This bill would put money back in the pockets of Americans doing their part to conserve energy, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels while delivering savings to homeowners and businesses.

A record number of supertankers are preparing to ship American oil overseas—another way for Big Oil to profit from Trump's illegal and reckless war in Iran. Oil exports pollute our communities and reduce our energy security, while our prices continue to rise at the pump.

Today marks 3 years of civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces & the genocidal RSF, which has killed thousands of Sudanese civilians, left millions starving & displaced, & led to untold levels of sexual violence against women & girls. We must pass mine & @sarajacobs.house.gov bill [1/2]

Today is Tax Day - a quick reminder that while Congressional Republicans and Donald Trump have cut taxes for their billionaire donors and friends, they've made it more expensive and complicated for you to file yours.

I spent my morning with U of I System students, faculty, and leaders to welcome them to the Capitol. These bright students and staff are visiting Congress to advocate for increased federal investment into research and education, both of which I am a strong supporter of.

Three years in, the war in Sudan has created the greatest humanitarian and hunger crisis in the world. The Sudanese people have been the victims of the havoc the RSF, SAF, and other armed groups have wrought across the country.

Watching sports has become confusing and just downright expensive. It shouldn't take paying $1,500/year and 10 different streaming services to watch the teams you love. I have a bill to cut costs, end black outs, and guarantee local fans can watch their teams for free.

Delaware is the lowest-lying state in the nation. Our farmers, families, and business owners deserve better than arrogant, ultra-rich secretaries telling them their home should be underwater. We have options—why is this administration ignoring them?

I will join Senator Sanders to force a vote blocking the sale of bombs and bulldozers to Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu is using them to displace millions of civilians in Lebanon, Iran, and Gaza. The U.S. shouldn't finance civilian suffering. I hope our colleagues join us.

It’s been 47 days since Trump attacked Iran. Since then, servicemembers have died, thousands of civilians have died, and Americans are struggling with rising gas prices. My colleagues and I are forcing a vote to bring an end to the chaos. youtube.com/shorts/cRyXo...

The farmworkers movement is about more than just one man. Defunding and abolishing a monument erases the history of hardworking people who fought tooth and nail for workers’ rights, including survivors of Chavez’s abuse.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could say goodbye to TurboTax and file your taxes for free, online, and directly with the IRS? I have a bill to get that done.

Like many Americans, I am livid about Trump's illegal war in Iran that’s costing you a fortune. I've filed a War Powers Resolution to get you the answers you deserve and bring this war to an end. We won't stop fighting.

It's tax day. The average American paid around 14% in federal income tax this year. The true tax rate of the 25 wealthiest Americans averaged just 3.4%. We need a tax code that works for working people, not billionaires.

What does the Democratic Whip from Illinois, Senator from Missouri, & New Mexico Attorney General have in common? A commitment to protect our kids from Big Tech. Proud to have joined Senator Hawley & AG Raúl Torrez to demand Congress do more to shield kids from online abuse and exploitation.

Here's your friendly Tax Day reminder that not only did Republicans give massive tax breaks to the rich last year, but Trump’s billionaire Cabinet also axed the IRS’s new free filing tool, so now Americans have to pay more to get their taxes done. itep.org/trump-admini...

On Yom HaShoah, we honor the memory of the 6 million Jews & millions of others who were murdered by the Nazi regime. Recalling the Holocaust’s horrors inspires us to stand against hate today.

Trump's waging a war in our name, at our expense. You feel it at the pump, but have no say. This administration must answer for the economic impacts of their reckless actions.

Trump's DOJ is trying to erase the most serious charges against members of the Proud Boys & Oath Keepers for helping plan Jan 6. These are the people who beat Capitol Police bloody & tried to overturn an election. And the Trump Admin wants to let them get away with it. www.cnn.com/2026/04/14/p...

This morning, I had a great meeting with Western Michigan President, Russ Kavalhuna. We discussed WMU's upcoming campus activities, their sports programs, and preparing the next generation of MI’s workforce — during a challenging time for higher education. Thanks for stopping by. Let’s go Broncos!

As a Nuremberg prosecutor, Benjamin Berell Ferencz helped lead the effort to hold Nazi war criminals accountable for the systematic mass murder of six million Jews and millions of others. Because of his experiences, he dedicated his life to the tireless pursuit of justice and human rights.

When Donald Trump dragged the U.S. into war with Iran, Americans were left stranded in the Middle East. Why was our government unprepared to respond? Maybe because Secretary Rubio and DOGE fired hundreds of State Department employees whose job it was to help in a crisis.

People who defraud Americans and facilitate drug smuggling should face the consequences of their actions. But President Trump pardoned these very individuals because they supported his family business. The President is putting his wealth over the safety of Americans.
