Sixty years ago, the Department of Housing and Urban Development was created to help families secure a safe place to call home. That promise is now at risk because President Trump wants to limit rental assistance to 2 years. We must not go backward.

During #SuicidePreventionAwarenessMonth, I stand with every family affected by this public health crisis. Together, we can save lives. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call, text, or chat 988.

President Trump is crashing our economy. The unemployment rate rose to 4.3%, the highest level since the pandemic. Black Americans are suffering from a 7.5% unemployment rate, exposing our country’s economic injustice and signaling even worse job reports to come.

Last week, Illinois Democrats demanded that President Trump cease his plans for the politically-motivated military deployment in Chicago. This is an unlawful power grab, not a response to an actual emergency.

President Trump straight-up LIED. His lewd birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein demands answers about their "wonderful secret." What else is President Trump hiding? The White House cover-up needs to end. Release the Epstein Files.

🚨🚨HERE IT IS: We got Trump’s birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein that the President said doesn’t exist. Trump talks about a “wonderful secret” the two of them shared. What is he hiding? Release the files!

President Trump is eroding Congress’s powers of spending, oversight, and foreign policy. House Republicans—so-called Constitutional hardliners—are rubber-stamping his actions, more worried about their jobs than standing up for democracy.

Trump Tramples Congress’s Power, With Little Challenge From G.O.P.

On national security, spending and oversight, the president continues to undercut the legislative branch, and Republicans in charge have done little to stop him.

On #LiteracyDay, we celebrate the power of reading, but literacy is about more than words—it’s about opportunity. I successfully amended the Every Student Succeeds Act to include adult and financial literacy in 2015, and I continue to improve academic outcomes for all.

Thank you, Javiel, for sharing your strength, your story, and your family’s journey with me. It was wonderful to meet you, Kairo, and Kairo’s dad. Medicaid serves as a lifeline for many families, including yours, and Congress has the responsibility to improve healthcare — not gut it.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govSep 7(source)

A promise made should be kept. But the Big Ugly Law that President Trump passed is doing the opposite of what was promised. It's not lowering costs for families; it's making healthcare, food, and utilities more expensive. This is a clear betrayal of the American people.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govSep 7(source)

This Suicide Prevention Month, it's time to talk about the gun epidemic that is claiming too many lives in America. 58% of suicides are committed using a gun. Through conversations and secure gun storage, we can interrupt access and reduce the number of preventable deaths.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govSep 6(source)

Chicago is a city of neighbors—our diversity is our strength. We will stand together & protect our communities from those who try to divide or harm us. Threatening a US city with military action is unacceptable & I will not tolerate any federal actions that encroach on Chicago’s rights.

"Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR," the president wrote.

No parent should come home to hungry kids without food because politicians stole their SNAP benefits. That is why I want to take a moment on National Food Bank Day to share my gratitude with the food banks who are giving dignity & food access to millions.🥫🥫

Trump's focus on Chicago is not a genuine effort to reduce violence. He shut down crime prevention programs & proposed a costly National Guard solution. Congress must act to protect communities, not bend the knee to a wannabe king.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govSep 5(source)

President Trump’s tariffs are a tax on working families, especially Illinois farmers, who are facing higher corn and soybean prices. Trump’s trade war is bad for our economy and bad for our national safety. We need a plan that lowers prices for Americans.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govSep 5(source)

Deploying the National Guard isn't a solution—it's an abuse of power. President Trump is wasting millions of dollars instead of investing in real solutions to gun violence. This is a public health crisis, not a political one.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govSep 5(source)

RFK Jr. has repeatedly spread lies about vaccines. His anti-vax conspiracy theories have caused confusion at every level of government & in the healthcare industry. He’s negatively impacting our country's response to future health crises.

Top US vaccine official resigns over RFK Jr’s ‘misinformation and lies’

Dr Peter Marks was seen as a guardrail against any future politicisation of the FDA’s approval of life-saving vaccines

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govSep 4(source)

4.6 million kids live in homes with an unsecured gun. My Safe Storage Saves Lives Act with Rep. Rashida Tlaib requires a gun lock to be provided to every gun owner. Safe storage saves lives — it’s that simple.

Rep. Kelly condemns President Trump’s plan to deploy National Guard to Chicago

CHICAGO – U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (IL-02) released the following statement condemning President Donald Trump’s plans to deploy the National Guard to Chicago.

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

Deployment of the National Guard to Chicago is a waste of taxpayer dollars. We need that money for CVI programs, police training & to hire mental health professionals. This isn't a plan to fight crime; it's a political stunt.

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

Even RFK Jr.’s employees don’t believe he’s fit to lead our country’s health department. His anti-vax and anti-science beliefs endanger our public health. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: RFK Jr. is unqualified.

More than 1,000 HHS workers demand RFK Jr. resign in new letter

"Kennedy's actions are compromising the health of this nation," the Wednesday letter reads.
