I’ve filed to impeach Secretary Kristi Noem, but the fight isn’t over. Under her reckless administration, federal agents have killed and deported U.S. citizens. I won’t stand by. She will be held accountable, and real change will come to DHS.
Families are paying 13% more on their energy bills because this administration is doubling down on drilling for fossil fuels and moving away from clean energy. Spoiler Alert: That won’t lower your cost at home; it is going to raise it. abcnews.com/US/energy-bi...
Every child, regardless of zip code, deserves a high-quality education. But Trump’s Department of Education wants to rewind to a time when classrooms were segregated. I will keep fighting for federal investments that ensure every student, in every community, has the resources to succeed.
This #WomensHistoryMonth, I am celebrating the many brave women who have made strides toward freedom and equality. At a time when women’s rights are under attack and our autonomy is questioned, I honor that progress by defending it and pushing forward.
Two weeks from today, join my annual Youth Opportunities Fair and connect with organizations offering jobs, internships, mentoring, camps, and volunteer opportunities. Youth of all ages are welcome. There will be select programs for students in grades K–8. Register: buff.ly/RscbzHX
Kristi Noem, you’re right: We don’t want to live like this anymore. You are breaking the law and letting your agents cause death and destruction in cities across the country. This is why I’m impeaching you.
Congress must pass the War Powers Resolution, since this President cannot initiate military action without Congressional approval. Read my full statement on President Trump’s attack against Iran: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...
You can’t call yourself the "Peace President" while bombing Iran, destabilizing the entire Middle East, and making our own country more vulnerable. President Trump must answer to the American people and justify why he potentially entered us into another costly, prolonged war.
In their Big Ugly Bill, Trump and House Republicans slashed healthcare for 16 million Americans and gutted Medicaid by $1 billion. Meanwhile, President Trump gave ICE a $75 billion slush fund to terrorize our communities. Trump’s budget exposes their true priorities.
While ICE continues to ravage our communities and families struggle to get by and get adequate healthcare, Trump’s billionaire besties are cashing in. In his #SOTU, President Trump lied, lied, and lied. And he wondered why Democrats didn’t stand and clap for him.
Judge Murphy’s decision on Wednesday affirms what we already knew: Kristi Noem and Donald Trump's are illegally deporting people to countries where they can be killed. This is not how a world power should act.
Kristi Noem’s Gestapo agents are trained to disregard human life. That should concern everyone. Her reckless leadership and trampling of the constitution will lead to more injuries, broken families, and deaths at the hands of DHS.
Proud to earn a 100% on @lcv.org’s 2025 #LCVScorecard. I’ll continue to fight against Trump’s attacks on our climate and defend: ⚡️ Clean, affordable energy 🗳️ A strong, equitable democracy 🌱 Environmental justice 💧 Clean air and water 🏞️ Our public lands and waters Learn more at lcv.org/scorecard
Trump’s political rampage against Democratic-led states continues, something Illinoisans know all too well. He’s stopped vital funding for Medicaid in Minnesota, punishing hardworking Americans. Trump is willing to sacrifice people’s health to score political points. It’s despicable.
Fourteen years ago today, Trayvon Martin was shot and killed — all because of the color of his skin. He was only 17 years old. So-called Stand Your Ground laws need to be repealed, and Congress must pass gun safety laws instead.
I’m saddened to hear that five people were injured in a mass shooting near Jackson Park last night. And I’m also angry. Our children deserve safe parks. They deserve better. My colleagues in Congress must join me in ending the gun violence epidemic by passing gun safety laws.
The 4,500+ farmers in my district, and farmers across the Midwest, are depending on Congress to deliver year-round, nationwide E15 sales. Republican leadership promised to vote on a bill TODAY to support farmers. But no such bill was scheduled for a vote.
Under DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, ICE is unchecked and dangerous. Her agents have assaulted people, detained pregnant women, and even killed American citizens. I’m impeaching Secretary Noem for breaking the Constitution.
Five years ago, the House passed the #EqualityAct to protect LGBTQ+ Americans. Five years later, it is still not law. I will continue to fight to protect marriage equality, repeal the trans military ban, close health gaps, & support LGBTQ+ people.
