The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States Senator. But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch. So, I am announcing today that I will not be seeking re-election at the end of my term.

Loretta and I offer our deepest condolences to the family of Jimmy Gracey, who tragically lost his life earlier this week. May his memory always be a blessing.

Today, I spoke with National Cancer Institute Director Dr. Anthony Letai to express my hope that, under his leadership, NCI will be laser-focused on its core mission to reduce cancer suffering & death by acting swiftly to support new and existing scientific research that will save lives, absent political interference.

Yes, because the biggest fraud is in the White House. ❤

Senate Judiciary Republicans@SenJudiciaryGOP

BREAKING: EVERY Judiciary Committee Democrat just voted NO on President Trump's highly-qualified nominee to fight fraud and rescue Americans' hard-earned tax dollars. Combating fraud is not – and should not be – a partisan issue.

Men and women in uniform swore an oath to protect and uphold the Constitution. The SAVE America Act would mean these service members would no longer be able to show just their military ID to register to vote.

The Trump Administration’s mass deportation operation detained a DACA recipient as he was delivering milk to his baby in NICU. ICE is tearing families apart and traumatizing children. Congress MUST stand up for Dreamers.

Carol Leonnig@CarolLeonnig

ICE seizes DACA recipient on way to visit premature baby in NICU. Trump admin is not renewing "Dreamers" who were given legal status as children to stay in U.S. -- says they can now be detained and deported. @lbarronlopez ms.now/news/ice-detai…

I am on the Senate floor to oppose the SAVE America Act, which would make it harder for women, service members, and millions of other Americans to vote. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

2008 proved that we cannot leave Americans on the hook to save a failed industry. That’s why today I’m introducing the No Bailout for Crypto Act to ensure that taxpayers aren’t left holding the bag when the crypto industry inevitably crashes.

Someone is dying in ICE custody every week, if not more frequently. This is a crisis.

Protecting Americans from toxic hazards like PFAS is a matter of public health—which is why I joined @BettyMcCollum04 to introduce the Forever Chemical Regulation and Accountability Act. This bill will help phase out the unnecessary uses of PFAS and protect consumers and our environment from the hazards of these chemicals.

I joined @SenDuckworth and a bipartisan group of 38 senators to call on the Trump Admin to stop delaying the release of energy assistance funding for families in need. As utility prices skyrocket, it is more important than ever that we help Americans afford their energy bills.

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.

After cutting $1 trillion from Medicaid, Republicans for the SECOND time voted against a resolution that would require Congress to approve further military action against Iran. Republicans are fine spending nearly $2 billion a day on this war, putting American service members and our economy at risk.

As President Trump’s tariff policy and war in the Middle East hurts our farmers, I met with members of the Illinois Farm Bureau to discuss how Congress can support Illinois farmers and promote policies that will bring certainty and predictability back to our farm economy.

BREAKING: Republicans ONCE AGAIN blocked our bill to simply pay TSA agents. This is the SEVENTH time Republicans have blocked our attempts to fund the rest of DHS while talks to rein in ICE continue.

.@SenatorWarnock asked unanimous consent that the Senate consider and pass S. 4127, TSA Pay Act Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) objected.

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.

I joined @ChuckGrassley to introduce the Baltic Security Assessment Act to encourage coordination between Congress and the Admin on threats posed to the Baltics. The U.S. must remain steadfast in support of our Baltic allies and the NATO alliance in the face of Russian and Chinese threats.

Tammy Duckworth@SenDuckworth·1d

It is egregious that a five-time draft dodger is using our troops as cannon fodder in his illegal war of choice. Tonight, @SenBooker is calling up his War Powers Resolution to stop these unjustified, unauthorized and deeply unpopular military actions in the Middle East. This vote should be easy. Every Senator has a Constitutional duty to check this President, safeguard our troops and end this war no one wants.

Today, I met with the Illinois Fire Chiefs Association and Mutual Aid Box Alarm System leadership to discuss how Congress can improve fire & EMS services in Illinois. I was proud to help pass the SIREN Act to boost rural EMS funding and am committed to ensuring our firefighters have the resources they need to serve safely.

I remember sitting in the Oval Office with Donald Trump when he said some immigrants come from “sh*thole” countries. He denied it for years. Until he admitted he was lying. That’s un-American. This smart, kind witness is a proud American.

Sen. DURBIN: You’re Somali? Somali-American teenager: I am. Durbin: The President spoke about “sh*thole” countries. What was your community’s reaction? Teenager: I love my community because we fought back. At first, anger and hurt. Then, we advocated.
