To the survivors of Larry Nassar’s abuse: thank you for your advocacy.

Simone, McKayla, Maggie, Aly, and countless other women spoke truth to power about Nassar’s abuse and the failings of the FBI.

Today’s news is in no small part thanks to the courage of survivors.

The violence in Haiti is alarming, and ICE has resumed deportation flights to this chaotic situation.

That’s why I’ve called on President Biden to re-designate Haiti for Temporary Protected Status to protect Haitians in the U.S. — and not risk their safety by deporting them now.

The FBI’s mishandling of sexual assault allegations in 2015 and 2016 against Larry Nassar was unacceptable.

While the FBI delayed, Nassar was still preying on victims.

This settlement won’t undue the harm, but it will support victims as they continue to pursue justice.

Visiting the Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs' Veterans' Home in Chicago and witnessing firsthand the care and dedication offered to our veterans is a powerful reminder of the immense debt of gratitude we owe to those who have served our country so selflessly.

I have long supported efforts to fight the climate crisis, including creation of a Climate Corps, modeled after FDR's Civilian Conservation Corps to improve America’s public lands, forests, & parks. Glad to see President Biden announce that Americans can now apply: ClimateCorps.gov

NEWS: President Biden announces $7B—$156M for IL—in fed grants for solar power in 900,000 homes in middle- & low-income communities; will help save more than $350M in electricity costs annually.
This is a great announcement & relief for families unable to purchase out-of-pocket.

reminds us of our duty to address the threat of the climate crisis if we want to pass on a livable planet to future generations.

Dems have stepped up to the challenge in supporting one of the most ambitious climate agendas in history. We'll continue to lead the way.

The Supreme Court just decided to take up a case on the Biden Administration’s “ghost guns” regulations.

These build-at-home gun-making kits are untraceable and evade background checks.

The Court must uphold these commonsense gun safety rules.

I'm saddened to hear of the passing of Lee Milner, a longtime presence around the IL State Capitol & Springfield. Lee was known by all as a genuine and caring photojournalist who always stood ready to capture a moment no matter the occasion. My thoughts are with his family today.

Heartbroken to hear of the death of Chicago Police Officer Luis M. Huesca. My prayers are with his family, friends, and fellow officers during this incredibly difficult time.
