Trump keeps saying the quiet part out loud: He does not care. Already, Trump’s tariffs have triggered a plunge in the stock market and sent investors reeling. Americans will pay for Trump’s trade war at the check-out counter as prices for everyday items skyrocket.

No hard feelings, Elon. It's just the most efficient move.

Politico headline reads, Trump Tells Inner Circle That Musk Will Leave Soon.

We aren’t going anywhere! On March 31st we’re fighting back against Trump and his attacks on the trans community. Join us, Rep. Clark, @robinkelly.house.gov, @sarajacobs.house.gov, @ramirez.house.gov, and more in Washington, D.C. as we fight to defend our rights.

Two years ago, a gunman killed three children & three adults at the Covenant School in Tennessee. I’m thinking of their loved ones today and the children who were forever traumatized in their classrooms. Our children deserve a safer future.

Two years after the Covenant School shooting, Nashville holds tension of grief and hope

Two years after a shooting left six dead, The Covenant School released a statement honoring the victims, their families and survivors.

RFK Jr. wants every HHS employee to feel inspired… as he fires 10,000 more of their coworkers. These workers monitored infectious diseases, set standards for food and medication, and oversaw health insurance programs. Cuts to HHS won’t lower costs. People will pay with their lives.

GOOD NEWS: In a 7-2 decision, the Supreme Court upheld the federal ban on ghost guns. Ghost guns shoot and kill just like regular guns — except law enforcement couldn’t trace them. Now, ghost guns require a serial number and background check.

Supreme Court upholds ban on untraceable 'ghost guns' that are made from parts kits

Supreme Court, siding with the police, rules that hand-made guns can be restricted under federal law.

Pete Hegseth: “Nobody texted war plans.” The receipts prove otherwise. Trump must fire Hegseth immediately. He was unfit to serve from the beginning and continues to endanger American troops.

Pete Hegseth texted war plans, including a time line, on a Signal group chat.

Republicans are stealing food from kids, seniors, and veterans to give tax breaks for their billionaire donors. Today, I heard testimonies on how SNAP helps lift families out of poverty. Republican SNAP cuts will raise grocery bills & make it harder to put food on the table.

Rep. Robin Kelly listens to testimonies from people impacted by SNAP in a hearing organized by House Democrats.

A veteran shares how SNAP benefits helped her family when her child was diagnosed with leukemia.

A mother shares how SNAP benefits helped her provide food for her family.

A son shared how his mother provided food for him and his brother because of SNAP benefits.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth can’t even keep a group chat secure. This is what happens when Trump hires incompetent and unqualified people to handle our national security. His failure endangers our troops and embarrasses our country on the world stage. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Every student deserves a quality education, regardless of income or disability. Throughout my career, I've met many bright, passionate students across the district. I won’t let Trump shut down the Department of Education and deprive these students from thriving.

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, I covered Trump’s Executive Order to dismantle the Department of Education—paving the way for Republicans to slash support for students, teachers, and schools. @housedemocrats.bsky.social will fight this every step of the way.

15 years ago, the Affordable Care Act started to change lives by saving Americans millions of dollars in medical bills. Now, more people are covered than ever — and at a lower cost. House Republicans are now attacking people’s healthcare. I refuse to let them take us back.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMar 21(source)

Trump wants to close six out of ten regional offices of the HHS that combat fraud, inflated prices, and waste. One of those offices serves Illinois and returned more than $3.4B to the government and individuals in 2023. How does closing these offices make our healthcare system more efficient?

After this week’s severe storm, we must not underestimate how essential the NOAA is in preparing us for inclement weather. Trump’s illegal termination of its employees puts the lives of many at risk in the face of potential disasters.

Jackie Robinson, beyond his legendary impact on American sports, served our country bravely during World War II. Trump can try to erase his legacy — but we will not forget Jackie, or the thousands of women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ people who served.

Jackie Robinson’s Army career wiped from military website in DEI purge

At least one website about Robinson, who trained as an officer and was assigned to a tank regiment during World War II, was reinstated Wednesday afternoon.

I heard directly from constituents at my event, “A Conversation with Robin” — because I believe Members of Congress should actually show up and listen to The People. I’m excited to have more conversations throughout my district and beyond.

Trump just signed an executive order to eliminate the Department of Education. Trump and his Republican enablers want to fire teachers, gut public education, and steal learning opportunities from our students. Our students deserve better.

President Trump signed an executive order directing recently sworn-in Education Secretary Linda McMahon to begin dismantling the Department of Education, marking the most aggressive move yet in his administration’s assault on public schools.

Hair discrimination is racial discrimination. Period. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman's CROWN act would prohibit race-based hair discrimination in schools and in the workplace that especially affects Black Americans across the country.

House Republicans want to give even more money to billionaires — by cutting $880 from Medicaid. I held a press conference at Roseland Community Hospital to fight for its patients that rely on Medicaid and tell Republicans to stop tampering with our healthcare systems.
