U.S. Senate

We did not come this far to go back. Nor did we come this far to diminish our collective progress by elevating and cheering on pettiness, cruelty, and corruption.

Efforts to overturn that progress are deeply troubling to me. Efforts to turn our back on our history as a nation of immigrants.

With each generation, we have extended the promise of the founding to new Americans—immigrants who form the fabric of our nation and have made it what it is today.

Despite the President’s tariffs wars and reshaping of U.S. foreign policy, we will maintain a strong partnership with our Australian friends.

That alliance has allowed us to maintain security and stability in the Indo-Pacific region, and it’s imperative we continue the implementation of the AUKUS security pact.

Australia has been a crucial partner to the United States for more than a century.

It’s up to Congress to finally deliver the bipartisan immigration reform the American people are calling for.

Immigrant families are our neighbors, and they shouldn’t have to live in fear while their futures are decided by anti-immigrant extremists in Washington.

The Trump Administration just got the greenlight to terminate TPS without any judicial review to ensure that Trump officials followed the TPS statute, paving the way for this Administration to deport hundreds of thousands of immigrants to…

I will continue fighting for more investments for Albany NanoTech to strengthen our economy and lead America’s next era of chip research and manufacturing.

This is exactly the kind of groundbreaking discovery I had in mind when I wrote and led the passage of the CHIPS & Science Law.

I’ve long said the scientific and engineering breakthroughs in chipmaking that we cannot even fathom today will happen at Albany NanoTech.

The world’s first sub-1-nanometer semiconductor has the potential to bring us to the next frontier of chipmaking.

Illinois is proud to be a safe haven for those seeking reproductive health care both inside and outside of our state—and Democrats will continue to work to restore reproductive rights for every American—no matter where they live.

There’s nothing ‘pro-life’ about putting women in danger, undermining the right to contraception or denying IVF access to hopeful parents, including our nation’s servicemembers and Veterans.

Trump proudly proclaims himself as the ‘pro-life’ champion who struck down Roe v. Wade.

My heart still aches for Highland Park, and we owe it to our communities to pass meaningful legislation to address the scourge of gun violence in our nation.

Four years later, my thoughts remain with my fellow Illinoisans who experienced unimaginable tragedy at the Highland Park parade, a time-honored tradition.

Every American deserves the freedom and dignity to live independently and be part of their community.

Over the past year and a half I’ve heard from countless members of the disability community who feel targeted by this administration.

The Olmstead decision affirmed that Americans with disabilities could live independent, full lives.

We cannot allow the Trump administration to roll back our civil rights and attack Americans’ liberties.

People with disabilities deserve to live with dignity and respect in the setting that’s right for them.

The Justice Department’s memo arguing that people with disabilities don’t have a right to home- and community-based services is wrong.
