We are headed down a dangerous spiral that will erode our democracy.

When I first took office in March of 2008, one of my first official acts was to attend memorial services for the 17 students killed and injured in the mass shootings at Northern Illinois University. In the 14 years since, I have attempted…

if you look at the marketing plan of Big Tobacco in America over the last half-century, it is very obvious: Tobacco companies sell an addictive product. There is a chemical included in the tobacco--nicotine--which is highly addictive. To…

today marks the 50th anniversary of the Pell Grant Program, a program that has been the bedrock of our Nation's investment in higher education. This bipartisan program has provided direct financial aid to low- income students since 1972…

today, the Senate is considering bipartisan legislation to help protect our kids and our communities from the scourge of gun violence. This is a critical issue. And it is one we have spent a lot of time on in the Senate Judiciary…
