Birth control is healthcare. Period. I introduced the Access to Birth Control Act to protect patients’ rights to prescribed and over-the-counter birth control. Everyone should be able to access birth control without discrimination, harassment, or intimidation.

As we start the new year, Illinois families shouldn’t have to choose between groceries, rent, and medicine. @HouseDemocrats.bsky.social and I are fighting to make life more affordable and help you get the support you need.

Teachers are the heart of our schools, but recent Department of Education funding cuts are making their jobs harder. Money that helps classrooms, trains teachers, and supports students with special needs is being delayed and, in some cases, cut. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Education Department layoffs hit offices that oversee special education and civil rights enforcement

The Trump administration started laying off 466 Education Department staffers on Friday amid mass firings across the government meant to pressure Democratic lawmakers over the federal shutdown.

Read my full statement condemning President Trump's shortsighted attack on Venezuela:

Rep. Kelly condemns President Trump’s shortsighted attack on Venezuela

CHICAGO – U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (IL-02) condemned President Donald Trump’s attack on Venezuela in the following statement:

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govJan 3(source)

The American people did not ask to be involved in another foreign conflict, but President Trump now wants to ‘run the country.’ The President needs to stop acting like a dictator and start improving the lives of Americans. That is how a democracy should work.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govJan 3(source)

I demand a vote on the War Powers Resolution to stop President Trump from launching further military action without Congressional approval.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govJan 3(source)

Nicolás Maduro is an illegitimate ruler who oppressed the people of Venezuela. But President Trump’s unilateral decision to attempt a regime change in Venezuela is shortsighted and drags the U.S. into a reckless conflict that could destabilize the entire region.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govJan 1(source)

Happy New Year! I hope this next year is filled with happiness, health, and gratitude.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govJan 1(source)

I stand united with @housedemocrats.bsky.social in support of @replamonica.bsky.social's appeal against these baseless and political charges. We will not be intimidated by the Trump administration's attempts to deter us from doing our job of conducting Congressional oversight.

Today I filed notice of appeal in my case. From the beginning, I’ve fought back against this administration’s cruelty and attempts to silence dissent—this appeal is the next step in the fight.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govDec 31(source)

@HouseDemocrats.bsky.social strengthened Medicare and lowered prescription drug costs for seniors. I’m proud to ensure that Medicare beneficiaries won’t pay more than $2,000 a year for out-of-pocket prescription drug costs. What is the Republicans' plan to cut your healthcare costs?

Wishing you a happy holiday season. My office will be closed until 9 AM on January 5 so my staff and I can spend time with our loved ones. If you need help with a federal agency during this time, you can submit a request below. A member of my team will follow up as soon as we are able.

Help with a Federal Agency

55 years ago, the Clean Air Act of 1970 became law, protecting our public health and the environment. I am going to continue to stand up to bullies like President Trump and Big Polluters to fight against pollution, create healthier communities, and protect the planet. 🌎

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govDec 31(source)

President Trump promised big changes on the first day. However, 343 days into his administration, Trump’s tariffs and the Big, Ugly Law have done the opposite, making life more expensive. His reckless actions caused people to lose jobs, pay more, and struggle to get by.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govDec 29(source)

This month’s job report proves what folks feel every day: bills are up, and jobs are difficult to find. Meanwhile, Vance and Trump give the economy an A++++. They are profoundly disconnected from reality.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govDec 29(source)

Too many Americans are dying from gun violence. It’s a public health crisis. I will keep pushing for action with survivors and advocates, like Maria Pike who lost her son to gun violence, so our kids can go to school, parks, and work without fear.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govDec 27(source)

The year is ending, but the healthcare crisis isn’t. ACA tax credits that help families afford coverage are about to expire. No one should choose between groceries and healthcare. Everyone deserves quality, affordable healthcare. I won’t stop fighting for it.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govDec 27(source)

ICE claimed it was going after the “worst of the worst,” but the numbers tell a different story. Out of 614 arrests in Operation Midway Blitz, only 16 had prior convictions or posed serious risks. Tragically, many families are separated this holiday season.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govDec 26(source)

Today is the beginning of Kwanzaa. To all who will be celebrating these next seven days, I wish you warmth and togetherness this Kwanzaa!

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govDec 25(source)

I hope everyone has had a joyful Christmas filled with love, laughter, and special moments with those who matter most to you. Wishing you and your family continued warmth, peace, and happiness as we celebrate this holiday season.
