The Constitution is clear—only Congress has the power to declare war. It’s time we take that responsibility more seriously. To that end, @SenatorLeahy , @SenOssoff , & I are introducing legislation to ensure no AUMFs last longer than 10 years after they are initially enacted.

The American Dream is alive and well. Immigrants are a critical part of our nation—they always have been.

This is where Senator McConnell wants to take us. All to avoid paying for the debt he helped create with the Trump tax cuts. He alone owns this disaster.

Instead of relitigating the 2020 election over baseless conspiracies, let’s come to the table, pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis #VRAA  , and set safe, secure standards for voting that allow everyone to participate equally in our democracy.

Republicans are risking the full faith and credit of the United States with this self-created debt limit standoff. They need to stop playing games with America’s financial future. Far too much is at stake.

This weekend, I attended @Rivian’s “First Mile” event in Normal to celebrate the launch of its flagship pickup truck. Illinois is becoming a national leader for electric vehicle production, research, and infrastructure.

Let’s be clear—raising the debt ceiling has nothing to do with future spending. It’s about paying what we already owe and averting economic calamity. Anyone who says otherwise is not telling the truth.
