NEWS: A new report reveals Trump’s personal oil and gas holdings have nearly doubled in value, now worth as much as $81.6 million compared to as much as $46 million last year.   The President is profiting off Americans' suffering. And he couldn't be prouder.

So when you’re paying hundreds more for gas per month, remember: The President doesn’t give a damn.

At least 52 maternity wards have closed since Trump signed off on the largest Medicaid cut in history.   No mother should have to travel farther for lifesaving treatment because Republicans prioritized tax breaks for billionaires over healthcare.   They should be ashamed.

The Governor said no.
The Supreme Court said no.   And the last time he tried to send the National Guard in, it cost taxpayers $21 million.   Never again. Trump is not a king.

Americans paid an extra $310 for groceries in Trump’s first year in office alone. Now ground beef is over $7 a pound and coffee is topping $9. Families can't afford Trump's broken promises.

Trump slashed 30% of the CDC’s workforce, weakening our ability to detect outbreaks, fight disease and protect American lives.   You can't make America healthy again by firing the people who protect our public health.

This is horrifying. They're sending armed agents door to door, traumatizing children and demanding proof of citizenship. And next, they'll be at our polling places.   The lengths Trump will go to cling to power are shocking and un-American.

Anyone who thought a public execution was a good idea is unfit to hold positions of leadership in the United States of America. Hegseth needs to go.

Wages are down. Inflation is up. Over 5 million people have lost SNAP benefits. And we’ve had more days in 2026 where gas was above $4 a gallon than any other year. While Trump is billions richer. There's a clear "winner" in Trump's America. And it isn't you.

Their cruelty has no bottom. Why should Americans volunteer to sacrifice for our country if our government won't protect their loved ones from being torn apart back home? This isn’t helping recruitment, retention or morale. And it sure isn’t making any of us safer.

They're right. It's the Golden Age of Grift.

It’s a clear conflict of interest for the Trump Administration to have their own lawyers represent immigrant children against their own deportation machine. We have two demands for Secretary Kennedy: (1) Drop this absurd plan (2) Restore independent legal counsel Now.

The cost of food, clothes, appliances and other everyday items were actually coming down before Trump’s tariff chaos. End. The. Wars. From the illegal war in Iran to the trade war with Canada, enough is enough.

Reminder: it is illegal to send militarized federal agents to intimidate voters at our polling places.

$50 billion in rural health care funding after gutting $1 trillion from health care is like putting a band-aid on a bullet hole. Democrats fought for families. Republicans fought for billionaire tax cuts.

AI is advancing at breakneck speed. Americans deserve safeguards that protect their jobs, their privacy and their pocketbook. Not voluntary "promises" and tech companies writing their own rules.

3 kids and one other have been killed at an elementary school in Oregon. Kids should be picking out Halloween costumes—not hiding from a gunman. Our kids deserve leaders who will do everything they can to keep them safe from gun violence. Inaction is not an option.

Absolutely horrifying. My heart is with the Hindu community in the wake of this news, and I'm grateful to the heroes at the Mount Prospect and Palatine Police Departments who helped prevent an unthinkable tragedy. White supremacy and hate have no place in our nation. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Buying a home was already too expensive, and now we’re seeing the highest mortgage rates in nearly 3 years. Higher gas prices. Higher grocery bills. Higher mortgage payments. Americans just can't afford the cost of Trump's war.

This is peak corruption. Under the Trump Administration, you get the bill for the President's illegal war. The rich get richer. And nobody gets held accountable. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Costs are too high. Wages are too low. And Trump is focused on raising up monuments and building ballrooms to stroke his own ego. It's a "Golden Age" for no one but him.

You don't have to drive a diesel truck to feel the squeeze of Trump's illegal war.   Diesel prices are up more than 75%, driving up the cost of growing your food, shipping your groceries and delivering everyday goods.   Americans can’t go on like this. It’s time to end the war.

Happy 251st birthday, U.S. Navy! ⚓️🇺🇸

Putin told Iran the locations of our warships. Today, Trump rewarded him by lifting sanctions and allowing American dollars to fuel Russia’s war machine. Our troops are in harm’s way, and the President cut a deal with the adversary putting a target on their backs.

I refuse to let Donald Trump trample the rights of children seeking safety in our country. The Trump Administration must abandon its heinous plan and restore access to independent lawyers for immigrant kids facing deportation.

Trump’s illegal war and disastrous policies are sending fuel costs soaring and leaving farmers behind. Governor Pritzker is taking action to help bring costs down and deliver relief.

Few people are as synonymous with Chicago as Mike Ditka. Illinois will miss him dearly, but his legacy will never be forgotten. My heart goes out to his family and everyone who loved Da Coach.

Donald Trump wants to handpick the lawyers defending children from his own deportation machine. Absolutely not. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Hegseth likes to say “war is hell.” But keeping our troops at sea for over 300 days with dwindling supplies was a level of hell this Administration could’ve avoided, but didn’t. The toll this war has had on our troops and their families is too high. We need a public hearing now.

10 years ago, the Survivors’ Bill of Rights Act was signed into law —affirming that all survivors of sexual assault deserve dignity, respect and justice. Today, as much as ever, we must listen to survivors, protect their rights and ensure no one who comes forward is ever ignored.

Declaring war on Chicago wasn't normal. Inciting treason and encouraging an active adversary to bomb Southern California isn't normal. Who's next? A President hellbent on going after "the enemy within" is a threat to us all.

Trump promised to cut your energy prices in half within 12 months. Today, a gallon of regular in Illinois costs $4.66. One year ago, it cost $3.31. That’s $20 more to fill a 15-gallon tank. Trump broke his promise to cut costs and avoid war. Now you’re stuck holding the bill.

Trump's arch is not about national security. It’s about his own personal insecurities.

NEWS: Today, I led a group of 20 bipartisan lawmakers calling on the FAA to guarantee that emergency medical kits require epinephrine on every flight. Because if you have an allergic reaction 35,000 feet in the air, you should trust there's the medication you need on board.

Arlington Cemetery is hallowed ground. A final resting place for our fallen heroes who were brave enough to serve. How dare this five-time draft dodger dishonor them by trying to erect a monument to his own vanity? Veterans will not let him get away with it.

For 50 years, the Hyde amendment has blocked abortion care for millions of women, especially women of color and those most in need. It’s past time Congress passes my EACH Act to finally end the Hyde amendment. Abortion care is health care. Period.

No one experiencing an allergic reaction should have to hope someone on board has an Epi-Pen to spare. All flights should just have the life-saving treatment you need. The FAA must reverse course and require epinephrine in every emergency medical kit on every flight. Lives could depend on it.

ICE is showing up at hospitals, schools and airports—terrorizing families to go after people who have never even been charged with a crime. Enough. It’s past time for a complete overhaul of Trump’s ICE, DHS and Border Patrol.

Pilots and air traffic controllers operate under immense stress—and yet, they are far too often penalized for seeking the mental health care they need.   The Senate just passed two bipartisan bills led by myself and Sen. John Hoeven to help fix that. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

According to a new survey, Americans feel worse about the economy than during either the COVID-19 pandemic or the 2008 financial crisis. Meanwhile, Trump is fighting illegal wars and building golden ballrooms. Time for action on groceries, health care and housing. Not vanity.

On Gold Star Mother’s and Family Day, we honor the families of the servicemembers we’ve lost and the legacy of these heroes that they will carry forever. Our nation owes immeasurable debt to our Gold Star Families and their sacrifices.

NEWS: I’m calling on FAA Administrator Bedford and Defense Secretary Hegseth to immediately reject Donald Trump’s plan to turn his golden vanity arch into a military complex. This plan is as dangerous as it is ridiculous. Full stop.
