Senator Dick Durbin

According to the Institute on Taxation & Economic Policy, some of the largest corporations—including Tesla, Coinbase, & Palantir—paid $0 in federal income tax because of Republican’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” Why are mega corporations evading billions in taxes while families pay more for necessities?

Senate Democrats have come to the Senate floor to fund FEMA, TSA, and the Coast Guard nine separate times. Republicans blocked each attempt because they wanted more money for mass deportations.
Big Tobacco donated to President Trump with the expectation of favorable treatment. Boy, did Trump deliver. For the first time in history, FDA has approved flavored e-cigarettes, despite the known risk to kids, and allowed countless other illegal vapes to remain available to kids indefinitely.
Amid the affordability crisis, what are Senate Republicans focusing on this week? Partisan legislation that would give ICE and CBP another $140 billion to fuel the President’s mass deportation campaign. That money should go toward combatting the rising cost of living instead.
I brought a pocket Constitution to the Senate floor to give Congressional Republicans a civics lesson. Only Congress, not the President, has the power to declare war.
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 the weekend, Senate Democrats successfully challenged Republicans’ attempt to give $1 billion in taxpayer dollars to President Trump’s ballroom. This is a big win, and we’ll continue to fight against such a colossal waste of resources as they scramble to redraft.
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 economy lost 92,000 jobs last month. President Trump’s chaotic tariffs, mass firings of federal employees, and federal grant cuts have weakened our economy and forced Americans to pay more for essentials.
Pleased to join Rosecrance today at the ribbon cutting ceremony for their Behavioral Health Urgent Care Center in Champaign, for which I secured a $1 million earmark.
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.

VIDEO: Why are gas prices so high? Iran’s closure of Hormuz Strait removes 20 million barrels of daily, 20% of global supply. Brent crude exceeds $100 per barrel. Despite top production, US relies on heavy oil imports from Canada and Latin America for gasoline, keeping domestic pump prices high.

As a Jewish American, I’ve been targeted and experienced hate simply because of my faith. Now – more than ever – we need to take a stand to protect all religious communities from hate and violence.

My family was imprisoned behind barbed wire and armed guards by our own government. Not for what they did. But because of who they were. I was born in that internment camp. My family history lives with me every day. It drives me to fight for my neighbors—for their rights and for their dignity.

He was such a sleazy piece of shit at that time. Then someone gave him a TV show and people started to love this asshole. All this time, he was raping little kids. And then he was elected president, not once but twice. He was, is, and forever will be a psychopath & a pedophile. Let’s end this shit.
