Senator Dick Durbin
@durbin.senate.gov
My mom’s naturalization certificate sits on the credenza behind my desk in the Capitol, so anyone who walks into my office knows that I am proud to be the son of an immigrant.

Kash Patel could never be the qualified, diligent, and stable FBI Director that Robert Mueller was. I won’t let Director Mueller’s memory be tainted by a vengeful President and his loyalist lackey.
President Trump’s constant impulsiveness is something we’ve come to expect from him. But his instability poses real risks to America’s economy and our service members abroad.
Just one week after tobacco giant Reynolds donated $5 million to MAGA Inc. and dined with Trump at his golf club, President Trump directed FDA to authorize the sale of flavored vapes. This corruption is poisoning our kids and unleashing a new wave of addiction on America.
I have been and will always be committed to passing the Dream Act. These young folks just want to be part of America, and I want to give them that opportunity.
Over my time in Congress, I have had more than 3,000 interns serve in my office, and even more staff. Some, like Illinois State Senator Mike Simmons & Illinois State Representative Kam Buckner, have gone on to serve as elected officials. It has been my honor to help them get their foot in the door.
Americans are struggling under higher grocery, housing, utility, and health care costs. The President promised to bring down prices on “day one,” but they continue to go up under this Administration.
Our Founders were wise on this point: one should never send our sons and daughters into war without the consent of the people. I have made this argument throughout my Congressional career, regardless of if the President is a Democrat or Republican.
Americans don’t need to go through more paperwork and bureaucracy to vote. But that is exactly what the SAVE America Act would straddle seniors, veterans, and millions of other U.S. citizens with.
The American people have a Constitutional right to decide whether their children will be asked to fight a war. We cannot wage large scale international conflicts based on the President’s whims.
Reverend Dr. Anthony Paulson wrote to me about his parishioners in Southern Illinois who are suffering under higher prices. People like him are always on my mind when issues of affordability arise, but are being ignored by this President.
The Voting Rights Act ended Jim Crow, but Louisiana vs. Callais is a slap in the face to those who bled for that victory. During Freedom Summer, James Chaney was murdered in Mississippi just for helping Black Americans reclaim their voice at the ballot box.
Jeff Rath: "This is the second judge now that's decided that they want to engage in politics and to be a political actor rather than a judicial actor and to basically engage in politics while wearing a black robe with a red sash."
Activist Guido Reichstadter scaled the Frederick Douglass Bridge in Washington, D.C. earlier this month to protest the Iran war. "What I did was follow the call of my heart. I couldn't stay silent in the face of these ongoing acts of mass murder by the U.S. government in my name."

(If I were an Israeli with standard Israeli views, I would also be quite pleased with everything Trump did for my country. He promised during the 2024 campaign, when standing before his Queen Miriam Adelson, to "Make Israel Great Again." That was a vow he clearly meant):
This is amazing. Ukraine is now using low cost high altitude balloons, leveraging the natural prevailing winds from Ukraine to Russia. The balloons don't look like targets. Hovering deep into Russian territory, the drone is released and then flies to its target.
Another WTH moment with creepy RFK Jr who loves yoinking snakes and other critters to torture them.
Until we address the imbalance of power at the heart of our system, we will continue to treat the symptoms of a crisis we are structurally unable to solve. A sustainable future is still possible. But only if we build the sustained movement required to achieve it.

Some brands try to win Q4… Others get real and plan for January. If your site’s weak, your creative sucks, or you’re late to the party- lean into “New Year, New You” instead. Peak season’s about prep. Missed it? Don’t panic. Pivot.

For 3 months, Donald Trump has carried out an illegal war of choice with Iran with no plan and no endgame in sight. Rhode Islanders are paying the price. Joined Kayla Fish on @wpri12.bsky.social to discuss how Trump’s chaos is driving up gas & grocery prices for working families across our state.
