I joined @axios.com Live for a fireside chat on our broken health system—and how to fix it. We talked about the ACA, Medicaid, ghost networks, and maternal and rural health. I shared stories from families I represent who just want fair access to care they can trust.

My heart aches for the families impacted by this decision. Just days before Thanksgiving, parents and loved ones remain detained instead of at home. This causes real pain and lasting harm; once again the President proves he isn't concerned about We The People.
Federal appeals court temporarily halts release of hundreds of Operation Midway Blitz detainees
A federal appeals court has temporarily halted the release on bond of hundreds of immigrants whose arrests during Operation Midway Blitz are being challenged under a consent decree.

As we mark Transgender Day of Remembrance, court cases continue to target the trans community.   I signed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court against a ban on trans kids from playing sports consistent with their gender. Let kids play.

Today, CEC Co-Chair @balint.house.gov, @demwomencaucus.bsky.social Chair @fernandez.house.gov, & Senator @hirono.senate.gov led 130 Members of Congress in filing an amicus brief to the Supreme Court, highlighting how categorical trans sports bans harm ALL girls & urging SCOTUS to #LetKidsPlay!

Today, Congressional Equality Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Becca Balint (VT-AL), Democratic Women’s Caucus Chair Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández (NM-03), and Senator Mazie Hirono (HI) led 130 Members of Congress in filing an amicus brief at the Supreme Court in the cases of West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox where the court will be considering whether categorical bans on transgender students participating in school sports consistent with their gender identity violate Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause. The brief, which argues that categorical bans on transgender students participating in school sports violate Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause, was joined by 9 Senators and 121 Representatives—more than twice as many signers than a brief led by Congressional Republicans in the case. Read our statement (arrow pointing right).

Medical nutrition therapy saves lives and keeps healthcare costs down. With Congresswoman Jen Kiggans, I introduced a bipartisan bill to help Medicare cover medical nutrition therapy for more conditions so families can receive the support they need to stay healthy.

Political violence has no place in America. President Trump's threats against Members of Congress, who have and continue to serve our country with courage and conviction, are despicable. His dangerous rhetoric must stop immediately and be fully condemned.

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the transgender community members taken too soon by violence. In their memories, I will always protect trans lives and commit to ending anti-trans violence. Everyone should be able to live freely as who they are. #TDOR

I have fought for years to make maternal health a national priority. We must support moms before, during, and after labor and close the equity gap for Black moms. Every baby deserves a strong start, and every family deserves a healthy future.

Today, the U.S. earned a D+ grade for preterm birth for the fourth year in a row. As a preemie mom, I’m leading the charge in Congress with @robinkelly.house.gov and Rep. Kiggans to designate November as #PrematurityAwarenessMonth and address challenges faced by families of premature infants.
Graphic. Background is photo of NICU unit. Text reads, “MCCLELLAN, KIGGANS, KELLY INTRODUCE RESOLUTION TO RECOGNIZE NOVEMBER AS PREMATURITY AWARENESS MONTH: RAISING AWARENESS TO ADDRESS THE INFANT AND MATERNAL HEALTH CRISIS.” Logo of Rep. McClellan is present.

SNAP already has strict rules. But Trump's Big Ugly Law adds new barriers that will kick 42 million people off the program—all to hand out a $4.5 trillion tax break to billionaires. That means more empty cupboards and hungry kids. I will always prioritize hardworking families over billionaires.

I was with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social when we heard the victorious news that the Senate passed the bill to release the Epstein Files. This victory belongs to all the survivors who courageously spoke out and victims who could not be here with us.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govNov 18(source)
I’m voting today to release the Epstein Files. Anyone who votes “no” votes to protect wealthy pedophiles. Epstein and everyone tied to him should be held accountable. Victims deserve answers. America deserves the truth. Release the Epstein Files.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govNov 18(source)
ICE may have reduced its presence in Illinois, but the harm done to our Black and Brown communities remains. People deserve answers. When will ICE comply with the judge’s ruling and release those who should already be home with their families?
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govNov 18(source)
Republicans took six weeks off, fully paid by taxpayers, while Americans struggled. Now that Republicans are back in DC, it's time to get to work. Lower everyday costs, save affordable healthcare, and release the Epstein files.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govNov 17(source)
ICE is detaining pregnant immigrants in abhorrent conditions, denying critical prenatal care. I’m demanding that ICE follow its own policies & release pregnant, postpartum, and nursing women. I’m holding ICE accountable for their cruel actions with the @DemWomenCaucus.bsky.social buff.ly/lA7GWGh
