Trump's illegal war has already cost 14 of our servicemembers' lives and nearly $30 billion.

America has paid enough. No more.

It's time to end the war.

The House for the first time has approved a war powers resolution that would halt the U.S. military action against Iran.

Huge news if you love meritocracy.

Our transgender servicemembers earned their roles in our military, making us more lethal and prepared to defend America from her enemies.

And that's something Hegseth can't say.

Of all the things our men and women in uniform put up with in the middle of a war...

Being used to stroke Trump's ego at his ridiculous UFC birthday party should not be on that list.

Always great to see the Illinois chapter of the Alzheimer's Association at my DC office! 💜

Thank you for your advocacy and dedication to raising awareness, expanding resources and improving the lives of families across Illinois.

A great win for our state! 👏

These bills will help protect Illinois consumers against out-of-control price hikes from insurance companies, helping them save money and have more peace of mind.

Gov. JB Pritzker says he looks forward to signing a pair of bills that cleared the Illinois House on Wednesday giving the state Insurance Department authority to regulate premiums charged for automobile and homeowners insurance.

Do they care about our national security at all?

Trump is plunging us further into war, cozying up to dictators and alienating our partners.

The last thing we need is an inexperienced, partisan yes-man leading our intelligence community.

This doesn’t make America safer.

Trump says he is appointing his ally and loyalist Bill Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence. Pulte has no national intelligence experience, but he has used his current role as head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency to pursue phony mortgage fraud allegations against Trump’s political opponents.

Pete Hegseth—who never ranked higher than Major—is once again ignoring Generals' recommendations and denying merit-based promotions.

For all his bluster about bringing meritocracy back to our military, this unqualified SecDef keeps doing the opposite.

An insult to our troops.

I just watched Hegseth’s speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore.

Let’s be clear about what the Trump Administration’s “Peace Through Strength” has looked like.
