We are less safe, less secure and worse off than before.

But there can be no other interpretation: Iran won, Trump caved and the American people lost.

When families gathered in Highland Park to observe the Fourth of July four years ago, they were there to celebrate America at its best—and instead, they saw our country at its worst.

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.

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

The Trump Administration’s memo is an outrageous attack on the rights and independence of the disability community.

Accordingly, we insist that the Postal Service abandon this proposed regulation and return to its core mission of providing universal postal services to every American. The Constitution and federal law demand nothing less.

We write for a second time regarding the unconstitutional and illegal attempt to transform the United States Postal Service into an election administration agency controlled by the White House and President Trump.

We cannot be a leader of the free world if we continue to segregate groups of people in our own country, whether it is through racism or through ableism.

This is clearly the ableism that exists in this administration that starts with Donald Trump, the president.

This is taking us back to a time when there were forced lobotomies in this country.

I am not going to let this administration move us back to a time when people were ripped out of their communities, ripped out of their homes against their wills, and forced into institutions.

I’m grateful Senators Heinrich and Boozman worked in a bipartisan way to deliver this nearly $10 million investment to our state’s ecosystems.

After all, it is Trump who is responsible for sending costs soaring across the board. And now, he is single-handedly blocking housing relief that families desperately need in attempt to steal the next election. It doesn’t get more corrupt…

How evil can Donald Trump get? Congress just passed the biggest housing bill in 30 years, and this President is stomping on the brakes and holding it hostage until we pass his voter suppression bill.

We have a duty to honor and support the service of immigrant Veterans and their families, whether by the opportunity to earn citizenship, allowing them to remain with their families or ensuring they receive the care they’ve earned for…

I demand the immediate restoration of IMMVI to full capacity, along with a transparent and detailed explanation for why DHS and the VA betrayed their promises to the brave men and women who served our Nation in uniform.

Chicago Abortion Fund is often people’s only hope to get the reproductive healthcare they need,” said Duckworth. “Illinois is proud to be a safe haven for those seeking reproductive health care both inside and outside of our state—and…

Trump proudly proclaims himself as the ‘pro-life’ champion who struck down Roe v. Wade,” said Duckworth. “There’s nothing ‘pro-life’ about putting women in danger, undermining the right to contraception or denying IVF access to hopeful…

In a time where every month seems to bring a new chilling runway incursion, near-miss or collision, I urge air carriers to listen to the pilots and air traffic controllers and do their part to ensure a safer, more resilient national…

The safety of our skies would not be possible if not for the dedicated air traffic controllers who are too often overworked, understaffed and forced to use antiquated equipment.

The President seems far more interested in spending $300 billion to reconstruct Iran instead of spending a fraction of that to build the air traffic control infrastructure to secure the safety of our skies.

The will of the people is clear: Congress cannot allow Trump’s incompetence to continue hurting families, endangering our national security and humiliating our nation.
