I met with the Illinois Fire Chiefs Association and Mutual Aid Box Alarm System leadership to discuss how Congress can improve fire & EMS services in Illinois. I was proud to help pass the SIREN Act to boost rural EMS funding & am committed to ensuring our firefighters have the resources they need.

Trump is trying to price you out of voting and give your power to his billionaire donors with the SAVE America Act. As a father, I refuse to let my kids grow up in a country doomed by Donald Trump.

I stand ready to hold this administration accountable. It’s time for public hearings. It’s time they answer your questions about this war with no plan.

The “SAVE America Act” would hand your private voter data over directly to the federal government. Weird way to ‘secure’ our elections but a great way to consolidate power.

Nonpartisan election workers across the country say the SAVE America Act will force voters to find all sorts of documentation, and create unworkable chaos on Election Day. Hear their voices:

Arizona Republicans want to defund universities that help students access abortion care. It's an attack on student health clinics and their rights to abortion care.

Republicans must stop blocking funding for TSA agents. GOP’s political dysfunction is negatively impacting air travel. Today, Republicans will have another opportunity to join Democrats to fully fund TSA, pay TSA agents, protect travelers, & keep America’s airports moving.

4 years ago, my Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act became law to support the mental health of our healers. I was honored to work with the family of Dr. Breen, an MD from VA who died by suicide while serving on the COVID frontlines, to name the law after her.

This year, families will pay $2,500 each for Trump's illegal tariff costs. On top of the $1,700 paid last year. And that doesn't include the rising costs of gas, housing and groceries that are being driven up by his illegal war in Iran. The bill is adding up.

Tonight, on the Senate floor, I will call up my War Powers Resolution to withdraw U.S. forces from this reckless and unauthorized war of choice with Iran. The Senate must do its job and hold this administration accountable.

Anti-abortion extremists have truly lost the plot: they introduced legislation based on the insane myth that medication abortions get into our water supply. You cannot make this stuff up. Their anti-woman crusade is as dangerous as it is reckless, and I will keep fighting back.

I remember sitting in the Oval Office with Donald Trump when he said some immigrants come from “sh*thole” countries. He denied it for years. Until he admitted he was lying. That’s un-American. This smart, kind witness is a proud American.

President Trump stated that if his party doesn’t win, the elections are rigged. The Secretary of Homeland Security plays a key role in protecting America's elections. Senator Mullin did not vote to certify the 2020 election, and he still cannot commit that Trump lost.

Arizonans are already struggling to afford groceries. And this Administration has no plan and no strategy to get us out, all while shipping costs spike. That means higher prices on every shelf in every store.

No one should have to suffer in silence to protect a man or a movement. The courage and leadership Dolores Huerta and these other women have shown in coming forward is remarkable. I cannot imagine the pain and suffering they’ve endured over decades. Thank you for showing us what real strength is.

Do you have a passport? Do you have $165 to get one? Do you know where your birth or naturalization certificate is? No? Good luck voting if the SAVE Trump Act passes. Republicans aren't strengthening voter ID; they want to make it HARDER for you to vote them out of power.

Nevada’s firefighters put their lives on the line to keep our communities safe. It was great to say hello to my friends from PFFN! I am proudly displaying the helmet they gifted me in my office. I’ll continue working across the aisle to ensure they have the federal resources and support they need.

“Blocking permits for new clean energy keeps cheap supply off the system,” which forces grid to high-cost fossil units, revenue to Trump donors. Scam.

“I never got to hold her.” Those are DACA recipient Juan Chavez Velasco's words. He was driving to visit his baby in the NICU when ICE detained him. Juan told agents his DACA status. They said, "that doesn’t matter." Trump is abandoning Dreamers. Congress can't let this go on.

The American people are crying out for reform to ICE. People watched as U.S. citizens were killed in the streets for protesting. They saw children tear-gassed and people randomly pulled out of their cars because they looked like they could be immigrants. youtube.com/shorts/aDCO4...

The SAVE Act isn't about voter ID, it's about creating barriers to voting — rejecting military IDs, forcing seniors to find their birth certificate or buy a passport. They want to force millions of people to re-register to vote because they think that’s the only way they can win.

Kash Patel refused to deny that the FBI is buying up Americans' location data. This is a shocking end run around the 4th amendment and exactly why we need to pass real privacy reforms NOW.

Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, refuses to admit what we know is true, that Iran posed no imminent threat to our security. Instead, she hides behind a lie and says that Trump “concluded” that Iran posed such a threat. This is Trump's illegal, reckless war of choice.

This week, Senate Republicans are trying to ram through the so-called SAVE America Act, a bill designed to make it harder for certain citizens to vote in order to rig elections in their favor. This is a fraud masquerading as an election integrity effort. We can't let this pass.

Noem’s $100K FEMA approval policy kept vital funds from communities after natural disasters. I worked with RM @peters.senate.gov to expose its dangerous impacts. Today, I got DHS secretary nominee Mullin to commit to revoking this harmful policy if he is confirmed. We must hold him to it.

TSA agents could get paid TODAY if Republicans stopped blocking Democrats' bill. All of DHS could get funded THIS WEEK if Republicans agreed to basic ICE reforms. But they refuse. Republicans need to stop holding TSA workers' pay hostage to give more money to ICE & CBP.
