CO2 emissions are the highest they’ve ever been. Meanwhile, the Trump Administration is shamelessly working to make the problem worse. America -- and the world -- deserves better. huffingtonpost.com/entry/epa-coal…

Jeffrey Epstein sexually assaulted dozens of girls. It’s outrageous that the Department of Justice would cut this culprit a “sweetheart deal.” This agreement should be investigated. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/l…

It’s a shame that the Senate confirmed a Wall Street enabler like Kathleen Kraninger to oversee the CFPB. This agency is intended to protect consumers, not powerful financial interests. npr.org/2018/12/06/673…

New research shows that carbon dioxide emissions are set to hit an all-time high this year. Taking meaningful action on climate change is more urgent than ever. #ActOnClimate forbes.com/sites/niallmcc…

I said it back in October, and I’ll say it again now. After the Crown Prince’s clear involvement in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, the U.S. should expel the Saudi Ambassador from our country. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

The #FirstStepAct is the result of years of bipartisan efforts to enact criminal justice reform. Now is the time to pass this bill. Join me in calling on Senator McConnell to schedule a floor vote. aclu.org/blog/smart-jus…

I am deeply concerned about what we heard in Tuesday’s classified briefing on Saudi Arabia. Every Senator should hear this -- CIA Director Haspel must brief the full Senate immediately. businessinsider.com/us-senators-fu…

More than 140,000 youth athletes suffer concussions on an annual basis. With long-term risks this high, the old “shake it off” mentality won’t do. I’ve introduced a bill that would expand successful concussion policies from Illinois schools to the nation. altondailynews.com/news/details.c…

Saudi Arabia’s role in the death of Jamal Khashoggi is becoming undeniably clear. The information we’ve been given by our intelligence agencies confirms our worst suspicions. twitter.com/CNNSitRoom/sta…

An overwhelming bipartisan majority supports the #FirstStepAct. Criminal justice reform is uniting both sides of the aisle and we can't let this political moment pass us by. Senator McConnell: it's time to bring the bill up for a vote in the Senate. twitter.com/postlive/statu…

Going without health insurance is a risk that you and your family just can’t take. Don’t miss the December 15 deadline to make sure you’re covered for 2019. #GetCovered pjstar.com/news/20181130/…

Inspector General at Dept. of Ed sounded the alarm on for-profit colleges & the disproportionate risks they pose to students & taxpayers. Will Sec. DeVos listen to this analysis or the former for-profit college executives she's installed at the Dept.? insidehighered.com/quicktakes/201…

Last night at the Capitol, I paid my respects to President George H.W. Bush. He was always a truly decent man who loved this country and devoted his entire life to public service. #Remembering41

The only reason the #FirstStepAct isn’t law yet is because Senator McConnell hasn’t scheduled a vote. Add your name to my petition now to show your support for criminal justice reform. durbin.cp.bsd.net/page/signup/pa…

The new climate report presents a stark choice for the Midwest and the rest of the country -- take action to fight climate change now or face the consequences. #ActOnClimate nca2018.globalchange.gov/chapter/21/
