Every single vote counts, and Mississippi is a prime example of that.
Congratulations @scott_colom on your historic win. Here's to the first Black U.S. Senator elected by the people of Mississippi!
As the son and grandson of Navy officers, I grew up with a deep appreciation for veterans.
Servicemembers like our Lt. Governor-elect @cmitchellforlg embody selflessness, bravery, and a commitment to a cause greater than themselves.
Today, thank a veteran in your life.
I highly recommend, as it reopens, taking some time to visit the Illinois Holocaust Museum.
It is both a sober reminder of why we must never be silent in the face of fascism or antisemitism and a solemn memorial to all those we lost during this horrific era.
This Veterans Day we thank all those who served and their loved ones.
Because of many generations of veterans — like my own father and grandfather — we get to wake up in a free country every day. Let’s keep working to make it better.
The federal minimum wage today is $7.25 an hour. No one with a full-time job can survive on that.
Illinois nearly doubled our minimum wage. The time for Congress to act is now.
It’s this simple: If you go to work in the morning and come home at night, you ought to make enough money to put food on your table.
To see a doctor when you're sick.
To save for retirement.
We can make that happen. We must make that happen.
Americans are hurting. They need affordable gas, affordable groceries, and affordable healthcare.
Democrats won because across the country, we’re fighting to address these issues. Republicans are not.
🚨 ICYMI: I announced the Day One Agenda, including 200 proposals to repair the damage caused by the Trump administration.
Americans showed up for this election. Now it's time for Congress to do the same.
The Texas House Democrats like @GinaHinojosaTX and @jamestalarico deserve A TON of credit.
They sounded the alarm on MAGA gerrymandering schemes early.
And in Illinois, we were proud to have their backs.
This one precious, beautiful life needs to be about more than grinding it out every day until the day you die.
We must rescue the American dream for the next generation. And we will.
