This kind of conflict of interest raises serious questions. These are lifetime appointments to federal judgeships—lifetime appointments which have to be given to people who have been carefully scrutinized.

So, I look forward to a close look at what the final deal looks like. And if predicted, it is similar to what Trump abandoned, we have to ask ourselves if this war was really worth the American [service members’] lives or cost?

I sure hope my Republican colleagues who so loudly objected to the JCPOA will scrutinize Trump’s deal with the same zeal.

While I am glad that we might be seeing an end to the hostilities, I am deeply concerned about what might be in that agreement.

The current loose framework stunningly avoids critical issues related to Iran’s nuclear program… did we really start a war to return to the same deal Trump abandoned during his first term as President?

Snatching up our troops' loved ones this way impacts readiness and morale—and this is simply no way to repay our military families for their sacrifices to our nation.

“Let’s not run away from this responsibility anymore. Let’s not say it’s somebody else’s problem. We were elected to solve problems.

Somehow, congressional Republicans were able to scrounge up $70 billion to fund the President’s mass deportation campaign, but they could not scrape together any money to help Illinoisans afford their groceries, gas, or health care as…

Trump claims we can’t afford daycare and healthcare for families but has no problem signing a $70 billion blank check—on top of the $100 billion already included in his Big, Ugly Bill—for his lawless agents who killed two Americans in…
