BREAKING: Republicans have relented to Democratic demands to fund the rest of DHS besides ICE & Border Patrol. No more holding TSA hostage. No blank check for ICE & Border Patrol. We need real reforms & accountability. I'll keep fighting for exactly that.

Trump’s cabinet thinks Venezuela is going to help us lower gas prices. But then, they also think the repressive regime there is going to erect a statue to Trump. And as you can see — that’s all he cares about.

Insiders make bets on military action, make a boatload of money, hundreds of thousands of dollars, and get away with it. My bill with Senator Young will stop that.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, but Trump’s tariff taxes are backbreaking. Since the start of Trump’s “Liberation Day,” the average small business importer paid $300,000 in tariffs. That’s unacceptable—the Trump admin must refund its illegal tariffs NOW.

As if Trump’s war making gas more expensive wasn’t enough, now shipping packages is about to get more costly for families.

A judge has paused Hegseth's efforts to punish Anthropic. Remember: This is a US company punished for not wanting their AI to kill without human involvement or be used for mass surveillance of Americans. These attacks are another shameless play by this lawless Admin. www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/03/...

The Senate unanimously passed our resolution honoring Master Sgt. Nicole Amor's memory and sacrifice. She was a loving wife and mother of two. She served our country for 20 years and was a beloved member of her community. She will never be forgotten.

As a former school superintendent, I saw firsthand how educators spend their own money to give kids what they need to succeed in the classroom. That's why I introduced the bipartisan SEED Act to help early childhood educators cover the cost of supplies, books, and other classroom materials.

Instead of actually helping students, Trump & his billionaire Secretary of Education are lighting millions of taxpayer dollars on fire with these stunts. How about instead of abolishing the Department of Education, we just make sure kids can read at grade level?

Equal Pay Day is a reminder of the barriers women still face in the work force. We must continue the fight to end the gender pay gap.

Over their lifetimes, women on average will still make hundreds of thousands of dollars less than men for doing the same work— And the gender wage gap has increased for the second straight year. Fair is fair. We need equal pay for equal work.

While gas prices skyrocket and everything you buy becomes more expensive, Republicans’ top priority is trying to force through an unpopular voter suppression bill. They know they can’t win without it.

American taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill for crop insurance companies and large farms to turn a profit on federal crop subsidies. My legislation would save Americans billions of dollars and increase transparency, all while getting help to the farmers who need it most.

Today, I met with Putnam & Clark County EMS chiefs Jackson and Bramlett to discuss how Congress can champion the work done by ambulance crews. I passed the SIREN Act in 2018 to fund equipment & recruitment for rural EMS agencies. I’m glad these grants are helping first responders answer the call.

Trump is spending billions of YOUR taxpayer dollars on a war of choice with Iran — and it's driving up the costs of everything from gas to groceries. Trump's response to families struggling to afford the high prices? "It didn't matter to me." Despicable.

Trump knows he's in trouble this November because he's done nothing but drive up costs, attack Iran, and hurt working people. The so-called "SAVE America" Act is nothing but a last-ditch effort to save Trump's ass.

Democrats have a solution to fund TSA and other critical DHS agencies—which would fix the chaos at airports. But instead of coming to the table, Trump deployed ICE agents to major airports. This solves nothing. youtube.com/shorts/gGyvj...

Women only earn 81¢ for every $1 earned by a man – a gap that's growing each year and is even wider for women of color. As this regime continues its war on women, the fight for equal pay is critically important. People who do the same work should be paid the same – end of story.

Noncitizen voting is extraordinarily rare – in many audits, less than one hundreth of one percent of all votes cast. The SAVE Act is a total sham, cracking down on a problem that isn’t real.

Women in the workplace are still underrepresented and underpaid - and the gap is even wider for women of color. Recently, I helped introduce a Working Women's Bill of Rights because enough is enough. #EqualPayDay

Today, I spoke with Victor Peng, Interim CEO of PsiQuantum, about how the federal government can be a champion for quantum technology. Illinois is leading the charge when it comes to quantum computing, and it’s critical that we continue to invest in R&D to keep the momentum up.

Trump promised lower energy bills. Instead, they skyrocketed. Democrats’ plan to bring them down: 1. Build more clean energy 2. Cut delays — not protections 3. Fix the grid 4. Make data centers pay their fair share 5. Protect consumers www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/c...

Today marks how far into 2026 that women have to work to be paid what men earned in 2025. #EqualPayDay is a critical time to reflect on the wage gap and to recommit ourselves to working towards equality for all.

If Trump trusts mail-in voting enough to do it himself, why is he trying to stop the American people from voting by mail? The answer is simple: He is freaking out about his approval ratings, so he wants to make it harder for you to vote.

If you make under $184k, you pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate. Everything after that cap is exempt from the tax. So if you make $1 million per year, you pay about 2.2%. And it's 0.002% for billionaires. If we lifted the cap, Social Security could be funded for decades.

Every American deserves equal pay for equal work. Today – on #EqualPayDay – we’re reminded that women with full-time jobs make only 81 cents for every dollar paid to a man. That’s why I’ve joined my colleagues to reintroduce the Paycheck Fairness Act and end pay discrimination.

Today is March 26th, Equal Pay Day. It marks just how far into this year women must work just to make what men made the previous year. Pennies per day add up to life-changing amounts. It's time we pass my Paycheck Fairness Act and help end the wage gap.

Without clearly explaining to Congress and the American people why we’re at war in the first place, the Trump Administration is putting our servicemembers into harm's way and sending more taxpayer money to a war with Iran. It’s simply unacceptable.
