You can thank Donald Trump’s war of choice in Iran for this. But don’t worry, the President is very focused on renaming lakes, constructing an arch, and building a ballroom you’ll never see.

Honored to be back at the Aspen Ideas: Climate Conference in Chicago today. Illinois is leading the Midwest in fighting climate change — and growing a clean energy economy that both helps keep people safe and keeps their bills affordable.

Trump wants to shut down the government in September to force Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE Act, rig the midterm elections, and disenfranchise millions of American citizens. If the government shuts down in September, remember one man was cheerleading for that outcome all along: Donald Trump.

No industry should receive a blanket exemption from accountability under the law. I'm urging Congress to reject Big Oil's immunity proposal and stand with states, taxpayers, and the rule of law — not special protections for powerful corporations.

The deputy White House chief of staff, Stephen Miller, called Pretti a “domestic terrorist” and an “assassin.” In fact, Pretti was a registered nurse working in intensive care at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital. This is who he really was.

There is no need or justification for a militarized response to anything going on in Chicago. It is unfair to National Guardsmen. It is unfair to local law enforcement and it is unfair to the law-abiding citizens of Illinois who do not want to be subject to military occupation.
