Hadiya Pendleton should be turning 29 today. She should be celebrating with her family, but gun violence stole her future. She was shot & killed in a Chicago park, just a few months before I was sworn in. I’m still fighting to end gun violence—for Hadiya & every child who should be safe at a park.

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

This month marks the start of Wear Orange, a movement in honor of Hadiya Pendleton whose bright life was cut short by gun violence. As we honor all victims and survivors of gun violence, we’re reminded of the urgent action needed to end this crisis.

No parent should have to worry about putting food on the table, but the Republican spending package cuts vital WIC food assistance by $200 million. We need federal investments that lift our neighbors up in times of need, not extreme cuts that take food away from infants.

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

Sec. Hegseth blocked promotions for women & Black officers against the recommendation of senior Navy admirals. I suppose I should expect nothing less from such an unqualified and undistinguished Secretary of Defense.

Every American deserves to live authentically and safely. My work with the @equalitycaucus.bsky.social isn’t just about celebration; it’s about using my voice and my vote in Congress to fight back and protect LGBTQI+ community.

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

The House Republican spending package is a disaster: ❎Cuts affordable housing by 60% ❎Slashes energy programs by 40% ❎Cuts WIC food relief by $200M All while funding Trump's $1.8B political slush fund. The President of Grift is leaving behind millions of hardworking Americans.

Illinois' 2nd District is home to some of Chicago's most iconic beaches. As beach season starts, keeping families safe is the top priority. Check the flag status and always listen to the lifeguards on duty before hitting the water. www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/beaches

Families are worried about affording groceries, rent, healthcare, and gas. Trump’s chosen war with Iran is making costs even higher. But House Republicans are still focused on Trump’s agenda and protecting billionaires instead of helping hardworking Americans.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMay 30(source)

Last week, I voted to pass the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, a bipartisan bill that will bring housing costs down and expand pathways to homeownership for working families. All families should have a fair shot at owning a place called home.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMay 30(source)

Working families are struggling to afford rent and mortgages, but Republicans are using taxpayer dollars to fund a $1.8B slush fund for Trump’s allies and his ballroom vanity project. Taxpayer dollars should lower costs, not fund Trump grifts & decorative obsessions.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMay 30(source)

Constituent services are at the heart of everything I do. Whether it’s resolving a stalled tax refund or getting answers from the VA, my office is here to support you. If you need help with a federal agency, contact my office: robinkelly.house.gov/help

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

Democracy only works when every single community has a seat at the table. I am standing firm with the @cbc.house.gov to fight back against rigged maps and partisan attacks aimed at silencing Black voters.

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

No one should have to cut their prescription pills in half or skip a doctor's visit just to make ends meet. As Chair of the @cbc.house.gov Health Braintrust, I’m keeping the pressure on to cap out-of-pocket medical costs and protect healthcare access for all.

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

In Illinois, gas prices hit $4.92 per gallon. In Cook County, it’s over $5. Meanwhile, President Trump continues his reckless war in Iran, gives tax breaks to billionaires, and created a $1.8 billion slush fund for his political allies. He doesn’t think twice about you.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMay 28(source)

Speaker Johnson cancelled the vote on the War Powers Resolution because he knew he’d lose. Once again, Republicans would rather pander to Trump and his costly war than stand up for the American people. No president should have unchecked power for war.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMay 28(source)

Rigged voting maps to strip away Black political power is straight out of the Jim Crow playbook. It is a deliberate attempt to break our communities apart and silence our voices. Trump’s attempts to steal this election is not slick. We see it. And we will fight it.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMay 28(source)

Behind closed doors, Republicans are complaining about Trump's corrupt $1.8B Jan. 6 slush fund. Complaining in private isn’t enough. House Republicans need to find a backbone, stand up to this administration, and stop wasting taxpayer dollars on extremism.

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

Walking out of the grocery store with two bags shouldn't cost a fortune. Trump’s chaotic economic policies are making life harder for paycheck-to-paycheck workers. I will keep fighting to check corporate greed and bring everyday costs back down to earth.

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

Trump’s war with Iran is a reckless distraction from the real struggles facing working people. Instead of lowering costs or fixing healthcare, this administration is funding foreign conflict and creating economic uncertainty.

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

I voted to release the Epstein Files because the survivors deserve justice and the American people deserve the truth. No one is too powerful or wealthy to escape justice. We need a full, unredacted investigation into every person who enabled this criminal enterprise.
