I’ll also note that, as part of that settlement, the IRS is permanently barred from auditing past tax returns of President Trump, his family, and related companies.

The notion that we are going to come up with a fund to provide some sort of a relief for the Capitol Hill cop beaters is outrageous to me, to think the Republican Party would even consider it.

That’s why we’re making every effort to make sure that there is a record vote against this slush fund.

I will miss the opportunity to help as many people as I did as an elected official.

When we wrote the First Step Act, we clearly sought to expand federal judges’ discretion to consider compassionate release as part of an effective smart-on-crime approach to reforming our justice system.

Democrats will fight this unprecedented and unacceptable slush fund.

We will be exploring options to uphold the integrity of the First Step Act, including further legislation.

Your response suggests that you will have no input or authority over how this fund of taxpayer money will be administered… These failures to detail any eligibility criteria only compound the concerns that this nearly $1.8 billion fund was…

We have to go that extra step to guarantee Americans the right to vote when they are denied that opportunity. To do otherwise is to deface our Constitution.

This experience shaped me, and I have made it a priority during my time in Congress to champion policies that spare others from what my family went through.

How better to addict children to this new nicotine device than adding fruit and candy flavors to it like gummy bear, whipped cream, and razzle-berry.

If we do not reverse course quickly, the devastating fallout will be felt by our children for decades to come, and we simply cannot let that happen.

The Supreme Court just significantly weakened a landmark, bipartisan criminal justice reform law in defiance of Congressional intent.

I don’t believe that’s true. The basic question we have to ask ourselves is whether or not we are denying Americans who are qualified and legally eligible to vote an opportunity to do so.

There is no scientific consensus that flavors provide a benefit to adults who want to quit using tobacco products, but there is clear data that proves flavored products draw in young people.

Unfortunately, many of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are continuing to muscle through a partisan spending bill which would give to the ICE agents a blank check.

Mr. Secretary, I want to thank you for visiting Rock Island Arsenal last year.

President Trump is disappointed in the Supreme Court Justices he appointed during his first term. While they are reliable and conservative, they occasionally rule against him.

By authorizing fruit flavors, FDA is once again exacerbating the risk of chronic disease and death for a new generation.

My bill, the Crypto ATM Fraud Prevention Act, would establish protections for consumers and hold these scammers accountable so no more Americans lose their hard-earned money.

We are deeply concerned by the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) shortsighted and reckless decision to authorize flavored e-cigarette products that appeal to children.

Crypto ATMs are found in almost every town in Illinois. You have probably seen one in your local gas station or grocery store.

Scammers use these machines to cheat hard-working Americans out of their savings because the transactions are virtually untraceable.

Like most Americans, I’ve experienced the nuisance of constant robocalls. At best, these calls are an insatiable annoyance, and at worst, these calls prey on consumers by trying to undermine someone’s personal privacy and financial…

Public service for me has been an opportunity to meet some of the most interesting and impressive people in our state and beyond.
