Thanks to Trump, it’s getting harder to afford the basics—groceries, gas and the list goes on. That’s what happens when leaders protect billionaires and leave working families with the bill.

On Workers Memorial Day, we remember all those who lost their lives while on the job. At a time when we should be supporting our workforce, DOGE's cuts are making American workers less and less safe. The safety of our workers should always come first.

Absolutely awful. Devastated for the four who were killed by a car crash at an after school camp in Chatham. Thank you to IllinoisStatePolice and all of the first responders on the ground who responded quickly to the scene. My heart is with the entire Chatham community, the victims

Marco Rubio was the lead Senate sponsor of WPS. Kristi Noem was the lead House sponsor. And Mike Waltz chaired the House’s WPS caucus.

Hegseth has absolutely no idea what he's doing. Women, Peace and Security is a bipartisan law that Congress passed and President Trump signed. It's supported by military leadership and gives the U.S. a proven strategic advantage. Once again, Hegseth's actions are short-sighted.

Trump’s first 100 days:   DOGE cuts. Fired Veterans. SignalGate. Trade wars. Higher grocery bills. Social Security benefits at risk. Deported citizens. Economy tanked.   This is no golden age for America.   It's a shitshow.

In Trump and Elon's world, "efficiency" means spending MORE taxpayer dollars and lying that they're saving money.

This is how you make America sicker, not healthier. Trump is cancelling almost a BILLION dollars in grants to clean up poisonous pollution, get rid of lead in drinking water and other projects that help protect the health of our families. Despicable. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

Ripping medical care away from our transgender servicemembers is NOT how we make our military more lethal—it's just dangerous, unconstitutional and transphobic. Now, Hegseth must heed our call to reverse the Trump Admin’s hateful trans military ban too. politico.com/news/2025/04/2…

.Tammy Duckworth and I spoke with members of Champaign County First to discuss priority projects in the region. I'll continue to push back against the Trump Administration and fight for the federal funding Illinois needs.

Every rural community deserves reliable energy and electric co-ops are critical to achieving this goal. I met with the Association of Illinois Electric Cooperatives with Tammy Duckworth to discuss the importance of supporting local energy sources. I’ll keep fighting against the

The Trump Playbook:   Take credit for the strong economy he inherited. Crash that economy with needless tariffs. Blame others for the mess he made. Repeat.

Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! No matter what Trump or Hegseth say, diversity *is* our greatest strength—and our AANHPI communities have proven that time and again. AANHPI stories are American stories. Always have been.

Took them long enough. Mike Waltz knowingly made an unclassified chain to discuss classified matters. But of all the idiots in that chat, Hegseth is the biggest security risk of all—he leaked the info that put our troops in greater danger. Fire and investigate them all.

The lethal high-powered rifles I carried during my military service were designed for war. Not our streets. Not our neighborhoods. Certainly not our schools. Senate Democrats introduced legislation to revive the nationwide assault weapons ban. It’s long overdue.

SUNDAY: Illinois Democratic Tammy Duckworth discusses the Armed Services Committee’s bipartisan request for an investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. PLUS – how will President Trump’s tariffs and budget proposals impact her state? Tune in, 10:30amET.

.Margaret Brennan: "Mike Waltz served this country in uniform as a Green Beret. He was a lawmaker. You think he is incompetent, and you're not open to voting for him at all?" Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL): "I'm not open to voting for him. No, because he's already demonstrated he's

Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) told "Face The Nation" that she expects Mike Waltz to have a "brutal hearing" for U.N. ambassador after his surprise departure last week from his post as President Trump's national security adviser. cbsn.ws/4d22kAw

Mike Waltz is failing up. He’s being rewarded for an egregious national security breach by being tapped for UN Ambassador—a slap in the face to the troops he put in greater danger with SignalGate. I’ll be voting no.
