Powerful. Listen to my SOTU guest from Southern Illinois explain just how badly Trump’s health care cuts and rising costs across the board have devastated his family.

This isn’t a red or blue issue. No one deserves this.

@senduckworth emphasizes the importance of the U.S. military remaining apolitical and how their “allegiance is to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

Nearly every Senate Republican voted to gut Medicaid.

Two years after we passed a law requiring the FAA to update its outdated evacuation standards, we are still waiting for answers.

Meanwhile, the FAA is allowing airlines to reduce the number of crewmembers on widebody aircraft.

How is this making passengers safer?

So grateful to have gathered for Mother’s Day with @senduckworth and moms from across Chicagoland.

We talked about modern motherhood in America and the policies that are truly family first.

In the middle of a war, the Army abruptly reassigned employees managing our munitions and sustainment at the Rock Island Arsenal—giving some just 2–5 days to uproot their families, move out of state or face termination.

That’s no way to treat the patriotic career civilians serving our country.

Now even Army Secretary Driscoll agrees. I’ve been pushing for more communication and less confusion for Arsenal workers, and I won’t stop pushing for more protections around Army personnel changes.

It was my honor to speak with SFC Jose Serrano today after successfully advocating for his wife’s release from ICE detention.

I’ll never stop working to protect those who sacrifice for our nation.

Deisy Rivera Ortega is finally home.

I’m thankful to @secretarymullin for heeding my personal call to release Deisy, the wife of Sgt. 1st Class Jose Serrano. But she—and so many others—should never have been in this situation to begin with.

They fought for this country, we must fight for them.

$200 billion for a war Trump promised he wouldn’t start?

With that money, we could fund universal pre-K for 10 years.

Sen. Duckworth did NOT hold back, calling Trump out as a wannabe dictator who idolizes Putin and Xi, plays strongman for the cameras, and folds every time the moment demands more than tough talk.

The Iran war hasn't made America stronger, it's strengthened the dictators he imitates.

Trump couldn’t care less how badly his war of choice is hurting your wallet.

Meet Michelle, the widow of Officer Blake Schwarz, who tragically died by suicide at 26.

Today, I introduced Corrections Officer Blake Schwarz Suicide Prevention Act to help expand mental health support for our correctional officers and prevent more tragedies.
