That’s *one-fourth* of all federal judges that have been confirmed under President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Senate Democrats.

They’re highly qualified, diverse, and reflective of America.

It's shameful to see FIFA award Saudi Arabia, a country with a long history of violating human rights, with the 2034 @FIFAWorldCup. Saudi Arabia continues to jail its own people for the most basic freedom of expression—no amount of sportswashing will erase that legacy.
I'm on the Senate floor paying tribute to the first woman to serve as the Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris. Watch.

A strong, diverse educator workforce improves outcomes for all students. I sent a letter urging @usedgov to include data on the diversity of this workforce in the Civil Rights Data Collection to better understand & evaluate educator recruitment & retention efforts.
I was thrilled to celebrate $291.2M in federal funding for Chicago’s CREATE program today.

Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, this funding will make our railways more efficient for moving freight and safer for passengers.

House Republicans are hobnobbing at Trump’s golf resort in Miami while the President plans to shut down research funding on childhood cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, & so much more at 5PM. Members should immediately return to DC to work w/Dems to undo this threat created by Trump.
It’s always a pleasure to meet with Mayor Chris Koos from Normal, Illinois.

We discussed the need for housing to match demand and funds for critical infrastructure projects in Central Illinois, particularly the Uptown Connector/Pedestrian Underpass project.
Despite “assurances” from Trump admin that programs, such as Medicaid, are not impacted by today’s federal funding freeze, states report being locked out of payment systems for... you guessed it: Medicaid!

Rural hospitals & pregnant moms lose under this Trump chaos.

President Trump’s firing of these nonpartisan watchdogs is illegal and must be reversed.
 
The law requires that Congress must receive a detailed written rationale from the President for the firings.

The public has a right to know.
