The Trump Administration seems to sink to a new low each and every day. It’s disgraceful that the President is allowing Native American burial sites to be destroyed like this, all in order to build his useless border wall. https://t.co/SpaZRaURUI
If we want to leave our kids & grandkids a livable planet, we must have the determination to seriously reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Proud to stand with @SenDuckworth, @SenatorCarper, & 30 of my @SenateDems colleagues to introduce the Clean Economy Act today.
The Clean Economy Act calls for a bold strategy to address climate change by setting an aggressive, yet achievable, path for the U.S. to meet net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by no later than 2050. Read more about our call for climate action here: https://t.co/icYFCW3n4p
Last week I visited the newly renovated and expanded @UIHealth Customer Care Center at @ChiLighthouse, where veterans and people with disabilities work to provide customer service to UI Health callers. https://t.co/gcVQZQU30p
Transgender migrants & asylum seekers are uniquely vulnerable while in immigration detention centers. I’m joining @PattyMurray, @SenFeinstein, and others in demanding to know if ICE is taking the necessary steps to accommodate transgender migrants in their custody. https://t.co/vIjRXFdEVe
During the meeting, Mr. Anderson committed to implementing much needed changes to its accessibility policies. It’s imperative Amtrak updates its policies to ensure that Americans with disabilities are treated fairly & are able to access Amtrak trains w/out facing discrimination.
After @Amtrak mistakenly charged a group of wheelchair advocates $25k to travel from Chicago to Bloomington-Normal, @SenDuckworth & I met with Amtrak CEO Richard Anderson today to express our disappointment & urge him to improve Amtrak’s disability and accessibility policies.
A fair trial involves evidence. Evidence involves documents and witnesses. I hope that enough Republican Senators will understand: history will find you. https://t.co/YIRVTG5NVE
As Honduras struggles with challenging levels of criminal impunity, U.S. support can make a difference. Today @SenatorMenendez, @marcorubio, @SenLeahy, @timkaine, and I wrote the Trump Admin., to express our support for an extension of the anti-corruption efforts of MACCIH. https://t.co/zJxjCpBbHN
Congratulations to Urbana's own Zena Cardman on graduating with @NASA's first class of #Artemis generation astronauts! Exciting to see Zena reach new heights aboard the International Space Station & with the Artemis Program.

Today’s announcement by @SecretaryCarson is a step backwards. HUD’s proposed rule is a frontal assault on the Fair Housing Act and civil rights. We need federal housing policies that end discrimination and ensure equal opportunity for all. https://t.co/FFNm4tjaHa

The wildfires raging across Australia are a devastating view into the future of our planet if we aren’t able to adequately address climate change soon. My prayers are with the Australian people as they fight to save their country from this heartbreaking destruction.

For months, @SenDuckworth & I have urged the EPA to test for ethylene oxide at facilities like Medline in Waukegan. The @CDCgov data showing higher levels of ethylene oxide in blood samples nearby are deeply troubling. @EPA needs to wake up & protect the health of Illinoisans. QT @chicagotribune: People living near Medline Industries in north suburban Waukegan had higher levels of the cancer-causing chemical e… https://t.co/awuXPuCU3h)
A 5th Illinoisan has died from a lung illness related to vaping. This is a full blown public health crisis, but the President and his FDA are doing nothing to address the problem. That must change soon. Lives are at stake. https://t.co/QuURHdw8v0
The @NatlParkService & Chicago community have worked hard to rehabilitate historic structures in the Pullman neighborhood. My bill with @SenDuckworth, the Pullman National Historic Park Act, would ensure NPS continues to preserve this area's unique history.https://t.co/EdQNwPdzRJ
Yesterday I joined my @SenateAgDems @SenStabenow, @SenTinaSmith, @AmyKlobuchar to oppose funding language used by the Trump EPA to allow Big Oil to wreck ethanol and biodiesel. https://t.co/rK0RL3WenV
