ICE custody should provide safer, less restrictive, and more normalized conditions, including adequate medical and mental health care, safe and sanitary houses, limits on force and segregation, outdoor recreation, and restrictions no…

Today, I spoke with the Illinois Realtors about how we can push federal legislation that would address our housing crisis and help more Americans afford homes.

I urge my colleagues to reject this attempt to gut due process in our immigration court system and vote in support of this resolution.

In my home state of Illinois, the average household has had to spend $3,400 more on goods and services during President Trump’s second term despite the President’s campaign pledge to lower costs on ‘Day One.’

Imagine my surprise that amid all of these Russian attacks on Ukraine and neighboring countries, the Trump Administration sent a U.S. official to Putin’s annual economic conference earlier this month in St. Petersburg, Russia.

We have fought too long and too hard to ensure that our elections are safe, secure, and accessible for all eligible Americans, and we must work together to combat these despicable disenfranchisement efforts.

For the first time since USDOT and FRA first awarded the project $177M in federal funding in Fiscal Year 2010, it is ready to proceed, and we cannot squander this opportunity.

The rising cost of building starter or single-family homes has spurred an affordability crisis that has priced millions of Americans out of owning or renting a home.

On Tuesday, President Trump went as far as to signal that the war in Ukraine was not a priority of the United States.

For too long, Section 702 has jeopardized these protections, but we have a chance to end that abuse now. Let’s not wait any longer. Congress should reauthorize Section 702 with sensible reforms and finally put an end to the…

But if my colleagues want to reauthorize Section 702 quickly, there is a simple solution… support these commonsense, bipartisan reforms supported by a majority of Americans incidentally to prevent Section 702 from being used to violate…

Section 702 enables surveillance of more than just foreigners overseas—millions of innocent Americans’ texts, emails, and phone calls are swept up in this dragnet if they communicated with a foreigner…

These changes are not about efficiency. They are about finality, the end of the road for people who have been following the law every step of the way. They are about dismantling due process and destroying any means by which an immigrant…

Remember when President Trump announced he would end the war in Ukraine on his first day in office? Instead, over a year and a half later, President Trump and Vice President Vance have publicly humiliated Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and…

So while we send the President’s ballroom representative to represent the United States of America in St. Petersburg, Russia, and talk about Putin’s plans for rebuilding Russia’s economy, while that is going on, Russia is attacking the…

The state, local, and rail partners are aligned, and we ask that USDOT and FRA meet this long-awaited moment by extending the remaining federal funding to finally bring the project to fruition.

What is the President’s official response? ‘I love the inflation.’

It also is long overdue for this chamber to act on Russia and Ukraine related legislation.

Senate Democrats will continue to put forward legislation to help families with the rising cost of gasoline, groceries, housing, child and health care.

If you eliminate the legal process where an individual seeking status in America can assert their rights under the law, it seems to me you already pre-judged the case.

Section 702 must not be linked to President Trump’s efforts to suppress the vote. Instead, Congress should reauthorize it with reasonable reforms, bipartisan reforms, that protect our national security and safeguard Americans’…

I’m going to continue to fight for the Dreamers and continue to fight for DACA.

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.

These young people grew up in America alongside our own kids. This is the only place they have ever called home.

After years of waiting, I think it is long overdue for Congress to honor the Dreamers’ patience and persistence, act on our own promises, and provide them with a pathway to citizenship.
