Another illegal, reckless and unconstitutional move by Trump with no congressional approval. No one asked for war in Venezuela. In fact, Americans are begging for access to quality healthcare and a more affordable way of life. They don’t want to be involved in “running” Venezuela.

Last month, I brought a town hall to the checkout line—listening to everyday shoppers about rising costs and real-life struggles. As your next U.S. Senator, I’ll always put People Over Profits and fight to make your life more affordable.

As 2025 winds down and we look ahead to the March primary, it’s a great moment to reflect on the journey so far. I’m grateful for every conversation, handshake, and community I’ve met on the Senate campaign trail. Here’s to a safe, healthy, and hopeful New Year ahead.

Warm wishes for a joyful Kwanzaa! May the seven principles—unity, self-determination, collective work, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith—guide us as we honor culture, community, and our shared commitment to justice and joy.

Wishing everyone happy holidays. May this season renew our commitment to community, dignity, and looking out for one another.

During the holidays, families shouldn’t be worrying about losing health care. I signed the discharge petition, the signatures are there, and there will be a vote in January. Democrats are united to save our health care—and I’ll keep this fight going in the Senate.

Rack up another loss for ol’ Don. We knew Trump was overstepping the law trying to deploy the National Guard in Illinois. Now his own Supreme Court agrees. We know this is not the end of Don’s tricks and I’ll always stand with Illinois in fighting back.

#RKWeekInReview This week took me everywhere—from town halls in a grocery store and a beauty shop to food and coat giveaways and a candidate forum. The response to my U.S. Senate campaign has been powerful, energizing, and deeply motivating.

I’ve built a strong record as a national leader on maternal health in Congress. This morning, I joined ABC News to discuss my WELLS Act—because no mother should be put at risk giving life. I’m ready to take this fight with me to the U.S. Senate.

Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

Grateful to Ald. Jeanette Taylor for hosting today’s Winter Coat Drive in the 20th Ward. This is what leadership looks like. As I run for U.S. Senate, I’m proud to work alongside leaders who put people over profits—always.

On Saturday, I hosted a checkout-line town hall and grocery giveaway at La Fruteria—listening to shoppers’ concerns about rising costs and helping working families this holiday season. Donald Trump calls the affordability crisis a hoax. The families I met know it’s real.

Thank you to the Kankakee Friends of Labor for recognizing my record of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with working people. I’ve fought for workers in Congress, and I’m running for the U.S. Senate to keep putting people over profits.

Donald Trump is a stone cold moron who thinks you’ll honestly believe the price of anything can go down 600%.

Even Republicans know Donald Trump’s dangerous, highly unpopular plan to dismantle ACA subsidies would rip affordable health care away from millions. In the Senate, I'll keep fighting to guarantee every American has access to quality, affordable health care.

Greg Bovino is back in town chasing viral clips while terrorizing hardworking, law-abiding people. This is the same Border Patrol agent accused of lying in court. Illinois doesn’t need ICE cosplay or internet stunts — Border Patrol Napoleon needs to go.

41,000 jobs gone. Unemployment rising, Donald Trump is turning the White House into a vanity project with a golden ballroom—while ordering ICE raids and illegally killing fishermen in international waters. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I am heartbroken by the loss of Iowa National Guard Sgt. William Nathaniel Howard and Sgt. Edgar Brian Torres Tovar, who were killed in Syria. I also mourn the American civilian interpreter who lost their life in service. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/15/u...

Thirteen years after Sandy Hook, where 26 lives—20 children—were lost, gun violence continues to devastate lives. Yesterday’s mass shooting at Brown University—and the shooting in Australia—underscore the global consequences of inaction.

Wishing a joyful Hanukkah to all who celebrate. As the menorah is lit tonight, may its light inspire hope, resilience, and a renewed commitment to freedom, dignity, and peace in our communities and across our nation.

What should have been a joyful Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach was turned into a massacre by antisemitic hate. Fifteen lives, including a child, were stolen by violence fueled by bigotry. Antisemitism and hate are deadly—and we must confront and defeat both everywhere.

Yesterday I held a grocery store town hall and giveaway to hear directly from families in South Chicago about the high cost of living and how it impacts them. We need a Senator who will fight to make life more affordable for Americans.

Spent the morning in Hyde Park over coffee at Sip & Savor—listening to neighbors’ concerns and sharing why I’m running for U.S. Senate. Illinois deserves a Senator who shows up, hears you out, and fights for working people over profits.

It was great to join the @dupagedemocrats.bsky.social for their Holiday Party tonight. They took a once-red county and flipped it blue—now known as “BluPage.” This is what happens when people organize and win, and it’s the model we’re building statewide in my run for the U.S. Senate.

#RKWeekInReview: This past week on the Senate campaign was all about connection—listening, learning, and meeting incredible people from every corner of our state. Different walks of life, shared hopes for Illinois, and growing momentum everywhere I went.

Thank you, Rock Island Mayor Ashley D. Harris, for the support. As your next Senator, I’m ready to build an effective partnership that delivers for all parts of our state.

Today we commemorate the 1948 adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a global promise of dignity, freedom, and equality for every person. As I run for the U.S. Senate, that belief guides me. I’m running to defend rights here at home — and we must stand up for all rights, always.

Honored to earn the support of State Reps Carol Ammons and Anthony DeLuca, and State Senator Patrick Joyce. They serve their districts with real distinction, and I’m proud to have them with me in this race for the U.S. Senate.

#RKWeekInReview Great week on the Senate campaign trail — interviews on NPR and MSNBC NOW, new endorsements, and a Christmas party with our incredible south suburban municipal leaders. The momentum is real and growing every day.

The fight for affordable child care is personal for me. Early in my career, I helped families facing crisis find the child care they needed, and I am leading the charge to pass the Childcare for Working Families Act to cap your child care costs at $15 a day. I will keep up that fight in the Senate.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 made tremendous progress toward increasing accessibility for all. I have spent the past twelve years in the U.S. House fighting for a more inclusive and accessible world. I’ll continue that fight as your United States Senator.

Donald Trump’s attack on my colleague, Ilhan Omar, and the Somali American community is racist, disgusting, and dangerous. A president should lead and unite—never target communities with hate. Time and again, Trump proves he will divide this country whenever it serves him.

Thank you Alders Desmon Yancy (5th), Jeanette Taylor (20th), Lamont Robinson (4th), and former Alder/current Cook County Democratic Committeewoman Leslie Hairston (5th). As I campaign for the U.S. Senate, your partnership pushes this movement forward.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly has been a longtime and unparalleled champion in the fight to prevent gun violence in Illinois and nationwide. It’s time to send her to the U.S. Senate. @robinlynnekelly.bsky.social instagram.com/p/DJTwR85uPZZ/

I’m working hard across Illinois to earn your vote for Senate. People are connecting with my People Over Profits platform and my record of delivering in Congress. The momentum is electric—and your support means more to me than you know. Let’s keep pushing.

On World AIDS Day, we honor lives lost and fight for a future free of HIV. I’ve championed full funding for prevention and treatment—from PEPFAR to CDC programs—and pushed to protect communities of color hit hardest. The fight isn’t over, but together we can end this epidemic.

Congrats to my friend @corybooker.com and his lovely bride Alexis on their beautiful wedding ceremonies. Wishing them a lifetime of love, joy, and partnership.

Today is Shop Small Saturday. Let’s continue to support our local businesses that help keep our communities alive and vibrant! #ShopSmall to keep our communities strong.

#RKWeekInReview: I’m working hard to be your next U.S. Senator. From Kankakee to Tinley Park, Monmouth & Chicago — and into Dolton to launch the WELLS Act. I was the first to bring Black maternal health to Congress, and I’m not slowing down now

Native American Heritage Day is a time to honor and celebrate the rich cultures, accomplishments, contributions, and enduring heritage of indigenous peoples—because America’s story begins with Native Americans. We recognize their profound and lasting impact on our nation.

On this Thanksgiving Day, I am thankful for you and your support, words of wisdom, lifting me up, and most of all, making me laugh. Enjoy a wonderful holiday with your friends and family.

Saddened by the shooting that critically wounded two National Guard members. Holding them and their families close and grateful for the swift response from law enforcement. Gun violence cannot define who we are as a nation.

I first raised maternal mortality in Congress. Mercedes Wells and her baby are doing well—but what she endured is appalling. I’m introducing the WELLS Act to require Safe Discharge Labor Plans, and I’ll carry this fight for mothers to the U.S. Senate.

Week in Review: From Chicago Heights to Ogle County to Lake County and back to Chicago, the support has been amazing. I’m working hard to be your next U.S. Senator, and the conversations across Illinois keep fueling this fight.

Join me in wishing President @joebidennn.bsky.social a very Happy Birthday!

Donald Trump, you are not a king. You don't get to threaten and bully people who disagree with you - especially brave patriots who took an oath to defend and protect our country while you were dodging the draft and cheating on your taxes.

Today, and every day, we remember the victims and survivors of anti-transgender hate crimes. Trans rights are human rights. #TransDayOfRemembrance #TransAwarenessWeek

While Trump urges business owners to oppose wage increases, I’m committed to raising the minimum wage to $17 an hour by 2030. Because People Over Profits isn’t a slogan—it’s the reason I’m running for the U.S. Senate.
