White House has no plan to mandate IVF care, despite campaign pledge President Donald Trump has said he wants a “baby boom,” but critics say his administration has yet to make significant family policy changes — and that Medicaid cuts will hurt.

Trump never had a plan to cover IVF.

Meanwhile, Senate Republicans blocked our bill to get it done not once—but twice.

They want America to have more babies but are doing *nothing* to help families afford that dream.

It was all lies the “Father of IVF” sold to get elected.

CNBC: Trump fires commissioner of labor statistics after weaker-than-expected job figures slam markets

The numbers don’t lie.

Trump is sabotaging our economy—

And is ready to fire anyone who doesn’t tell you otherwise.

This is what dictators do.

Trump EPA moves to repeal landmark 'endangerment finding' that allows climate regulation President Donald Trump’s administration has proposed revoking a scientific finding that's long been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change.

What good is an Environmental Protection Agency without its power to *protect* our public health?

The Trump Administration is putting polluters over our children's future. apnews.com/article/trum...

How much longer are people waiting to get help with their Social Security?

How many extra days, weeks or months are Veterans waiting to receive care?

Trump pushing over 154,000 people out of the federal workforce means more delays—

And he's making you foot the bill.

Danny Davis has worked for decades to improve the lives of Illinoisans. His years of progressive leadership have been such an inspiration for Chicagoans and beyond—his voice will be missed in Washington.

Congratulations my friend on an impressive career of service.

My votes tonight reflect my deep frustration with the Netanyahu government’s abject failure to address humanitarian needs in Gaza and send a message to the Trump Administration that it must change course if it wants to help end this devastating war.

Ending this famine is not only a moral imperative, it is also in the best interests of both Israel’s and our own country’s long-term national security.

While I have always supported Israel’s right to defend itself and protect the Israeli people, these dire circumstances must end.

Israel’s unacceptable choice to restrict humanitarian and food aid from entering Gaza—for months—is now causing innocent civilians, including young children, to starve to death.

I’ve long pressed the Netanyahu Administration in public and private to take substantive steps to alleviate the suffering of innocent civilians.

But conditions on the ground are getting worse, not better.

Tonight, I voted in favor of blocking the Trump Administration from sending more weapons to Israel.

Enough is enough.

Republicans’ food aid cuts will hit grocers in many towns that backed Trump The GOP’s policy megabill could reshape how people in rural and small towns access food.

The SNAP cuts in Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill hit the very rural communities he promised to protect—killing jobs, closing grocery stores and leaving less food on the table.
 
This is not what America wanted.

Aaaaaand there it is.

Privatizing Social Security has been their plan all along.

Lying thieves. All of them.

Medicaid has been a lifeline for 60 years.

For new moms. Seniors. People with disabilities. Everyone.

Trump and Republicans enacted the largest Medicaid cuts in history—

Stealing health care from those most in need to give tax cuts to the richest of the rich.

Shame on them.

Exclusive: Trump administration slashed federal funding for gun violence prevention The Trump administration has terminated more than half of all federal funding for gun violence prevention programs in the U.S., cutting $158 million in grants that had been directed to groups in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, DC, and Baltimore.

In Chicago, we've seen a double-digit percentage drop in gun violence this year.

If we want to keep up this trend in our cities, we should be investing more in prevention programs—not less.

But Trump would rather make our streets less safe.

Battle over transgender troops reignites on Capitol Hill - Roll Call Multiple defense bills would cement the Trump administration’s restrictions on health care for transgender military community members.

When I was bleeding out on a dusty field in Iraq, I didn’t care if the troops rescuing me were trans, gay, straight or anything else.

It is an outrage that there is still not enough aid making it to Gazans in need.

And I'm horrified to see innocent civilians being targeted and killed as they try to seek out aid.

Rubio needs to address GHF's complicity in the starvation and killing of innocent Palestinians.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 changed lives.

But today, 35 years later, Republicans’ Medicaid cuts are attacking hard-won progress—

Cuts that will make it harder to access health care, mobility devices and more.

Trump is leaving the disability community behind.

Text of Senator Duckworth’s resolution to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Ahead of the ADA’s 35th anniversary tomorrow, I led @democrats.senate.gov in introducing a resolution to send a loud and clear message:

Disability rights are human rights.

As Republicans kick millions off Medicaid, we’ll never stop fighting to protect the disability community.

NEWS: I reintroduced my EACH Act with @pressley.house.gov to end the Hyde amendment and help lift unjust restrictions to reproductive health care for millions of Americans.

As Republicans kick 15 million off health care, Democrats are working to expand access.

A new analysis projects a 24% cut to Social Security benefits by late 2032. Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will cause sharp cuts to Social Security by late 2032, a new analysis says.

Remember when Trump said he'd never do anything to hurt our Social Security?

In just seven years, recipients will face an $18,000 cut.

Estimated to "at least double the poverty rate of America's seniors."

It. Was. A. Lie. www.axios.com/2025/07/24/s...

Why 22 million people may see a 'sharp' increase in health insurance premiums in 2026 The GOP's so-called "big beautiful bill" cut taxes in some ways but didn't extend a tax break that lowered health insurance premiums for millions of people.

Trump and Republicans just gave $4 trillion in tax giveaways to the nation’s most wealthy—
 
Meanwhile millions could wind up paying $700 extra next year just to keep the same plan.
 
Most families don’t have that kind of money lying around. This will cost lives.

Reason: The Trump Administration is spending $130,000 to Burn $800,000 Worth of Food Meant for Hungry Children

For an Administration that claims to be obsessed with eliminating waste...

This is one of the dumbest, cruelest and most wasteful things they've ever done.

Typical Trump Administration.

Create chaos. Blame the victim. Repeat.

These people will point fingers at Mother Theresa before looking in the mirror.

Let’s be clear: this rescissions package isn’t about saving money.

Please, this isn’t about saving money.

Republicans just exploded the debt by at least 4 trillion dollars!!!

To fund tax cuts for billionaires.

Defunding Big Bird and Elmo isn’t going to fix that mess.

Neither is defunding programs to help starving children.

Millions get their news from NPR and PBS every day.

For emergency alerts, disaster updates, the weather and other reliable news.

Stations in rural areas, which rely twice as much on federal funding, could close.

Defunding this basic service would put millions in the dark.

Experts question the legality of deploying National Guard officials as immigration judges "The use of military courts to hear civilian cases is the essential component of martial law."

Our military has more important things to do than play immigration judge.
 
There are actual wars going on.
 
Instead, Trump is distracting our troops from their core mission of protecting our national security.
 
I have a bill to stop this abuse.

“People will die.”
“Veterans waiting for care will die.”
 
@duckworth.senate.gov sounds the alarm on President Trumps' DOGE cuts to veterans care.
 
She’s already hearing first hand of surgeries being cancelled. 👇

It's unacceptable that the average Black woman has to work 6 months longer just to earn what a white man made last year—doing the same job.

On Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, we’re demanding what’s long overdue: Equal pay for equal work.

4 in 10 kids are covered by Medicaid.

That's over 37 million kids that Republicans just threw under the bus so they can fund even more tax breaks for their billionaire donors.
