Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 2hWhile Americans are struggling to afford housing, gas, and groceries, Trump plans to host an “exclusive” dinner for the biggest buyers of the meme coin that earned him an estimated $635 million.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 05/10/2026The United States would not be what it is today without the contributions and sacrifices of the LGBTQ+ community.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 04/10/2026Literature has the power to change perspectives, teach lessons, and to share ideas. Nobody should be able to take that away from the public. This Banned Books Week, let’s remember that, in the face of attacks on truth and diversity, all Americans deserve the freedom to read. 1174
Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 04/10/2026This week, new SNAP cuts took effect. Since Republicans passed Trump’s Big Ugly Law, SNAP participation in Illinois has fallen 24%, and now these cuts will make it harder for families to put food on the table. Parents are skipping meals while the wealthy get tax breaks. 22613
Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 03/10/2026This #NationalBullyingPreventionMonth, I continue to stand against bullying in all forms.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 02/10/2026“We the People,” the theme of NAACP’s Freedom Fund Gala last weekend, is more than a phrase. It’s how Black people got into spaces not meant for us: through organizing, activism, and community. We must keep doing so — not just for our sake, but for our democracy. 1112
Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 02/10/2026One of my proudest accomplishments was helping pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which prevents convicted abusers from possessing firearms and closes the “Boyfriend Loophole.” This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I continue to stand with survivors, as I always have. 091
Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 01/10/2026Congress holds the power of the purse. Trump’s pocket rescission that cancels $810 million in federal funding is outright ILLEGAL. House Republicans must address the President’s continued undermining of the separation of powers, and he must be held accountable. 0176
Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 01/10/2026This #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, let’s continue to raise awareness and honor the fighters, survivors, caregivers, and those we have lost. If you have not already, schedule your mammogram today! Early detection is key to prevention. 183

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 30/09/2026A year ago, ICE agents raided a South Shore apartment building, where they dragged U.S. citizens and immigrants alike out of bed in the middle of the night for political theater. A year later, many are still displaced and hurting. I continue to fight for accountability and justice for all. 1157

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 30/09/2026I am outraged by Secretary McMahon rescinding Title IX protections for LGBTQ+ students and survivors of sexual assault. Every student deserves a safe & equitable place to learn. This rule makes it clear that this administration's priorities aren’t about keeping students safe. 2162
Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 29/09/2026Grief doesn’t end when the news cycles do; Chicago Survivors stays with families after gun violence.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 29/09/2026As Hunger Action Month comes to an end, I want to commemorate the signing of the Food Stamp Act into law 49 years ago today.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 29/09/2026A Chicago resident was injured after being mistaken for a fugitive by ICE. After Operation Midway Blitz, Trump’s administration continues to purposefully target cities like Chicago and terrorize our communities with reckless, untrained agents. Congress must hold the administration accountable. 174

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 25/09/2026HHS Secretary Kennedy took $12 million from the Office of Minority Health and used it for his own personal security. He is using money that was meant to help close the health disparity gap, and save lives, as his own personal spending cash. This administration’s corruption is endless. 36231
Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 25/09/2026Since the Big Ugly Law took effect, SNAP participation in Illinois has dropped 24%.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 24/09/2026President Trump’s vanity projects will cost more than $1.8 billion.

Every time. 12916

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 20/09/2026Who you love does not impact your ability to serve. 15 years ago, the homophobic “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy was finally repealed. Despite this, President Trump and Secretary Hegseth continue to discriminate against transgender service members, and I will fight for their recognition. 2146
Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 20/09/2026On National POW/MIA Day, I remember and honor the brave members of our Armed Forces who are prisoners of war and those who remain missing in action.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 19/09/2026Revoking press passes over unfavorable coverage is what authoritarian governments do, not American presidents. A free press asking hard questions isn't the enemy. Silencing it should worry every one of us, regardless of how you vote. 2187
Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 18/09/2026Trump’s war on Iran & his reckless tariff policies have driven diesel prices sky-high, forcing Illinois farmers to drain their pockets during harvest season.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 17/09/2026This week, we only had three voting days before being sent home until after midterms.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 16/09/2026Trump’s EPA is putting our air and our environment at risk to please Big Polluters. Global warming is real; the science proves it, and this irresponsible administration is openly allowing greenhouse gas emissions to further contaminate our planet. This is DANGEROUS. 595

It's the consequences of his actions. 2207
