We are glad that the Federal Railroad Administration heeded our calls and is conducting a full environmental assessment before proceeding with the Midwest Maintenance Facility Project.

While this is welcome progress, Amtrak and the developer must continue robust and transparent conversations with residents to ensure their concerns are addressed for this project to be a success.

This will provide a formal opportunity for the community to review environmental studies and provide direct input.

After hearing concerns from the community, we are glad that the Federal Railroad Administration heeded our calls and is conducting a full environmental assessment before proceeding with the Midwest Maintenance Facility Project.

On October 29, 2026, the country got a trick dressed up as a treat—and another reminder that this unserious President is more interested in impressing children with his toys than in meeting the needs of the American people.

This administration moves with urgency when the President’s taste is questioned but with none when the American people struggle with the soaring cost of living or the NTSB warns of a ‘continued and unacceptable risk to public safety.’

A serious President would be bringing costs down. This one is busy showing off his toys, putting on full display how wildly out of touch he is with the needs of the American people.

The stunt startled residents, prompted 911 calls, forced a ground stop at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), contributed to more than 200 flight delays and burned taxpayer dollars so President Trump could parade his toy…

Americans don’t just want a repair job. They need—they deserve—a top-to-bottom renovation.

The reality is, from utility bills to grocery bills, health care to child care, far too many Americans feel like they’re one bad day… one doctor’s appointment… one stop at the gas pump away from disaster.

Last night, Americans sent a clear message: They are sick of Donald Trump’s bullshit. They are tired of him promising one thing in the morning then going back on his word by the afternoon. They’re done with him putting his self-interest…

Americans empowered Democrats to fight for them. We must use that power to fight for a better deal that prioritizes people over profits, establishes stronger guardrails and protects states like Illinois against any future retaliation by…

After Americans issued a complete and total rejection of Donald Trump, Congress should not be rushing to pass a bill that would hand that same man even more power to put Big Oil and Big Tech over ratepayers.

It couldn’t be clearer that Americans are sick of abuses of power, sick of the sky-high cost of living and sick of business as usual.

We request that you rescind this proposed rule to ensure the decennial census complies with the Constitution and allows civil and voting rights laws to be enforced.

The proposed rule would also cause communities across the country to be counted inaccurately, jeopardizing their fair representation in Congress and access to billions of federal dollars for education, health care, and public safety…

The proposed rule violates the clear meaning of the Constitution, which requires that the Census Bureau count the 'whole number of persons in each state.

We write to urge that you rescind your proposed rule that would exclude certain non-citizens from decennial census counts and omit questions about race and ethnicity from the decennial census.

He'll never be in my house.

He's never been in my house.

I think the country made clear that they want a new generation of leadership with big and bold ideas.

One of my priorities would be pushing for real accountability at the U.N.

Right now, it hasn’t been very productive because the Iranian demands are simply not just unacceptable but, in some cases, outrageous and ridiculous and really not realistic.

There’s been some advances made in what that architecture could look like post-conflict.
