“We are only one month into the second Trump Administration. One month, and people’s lives are already being turned upside down,” Rep. Kelly said yesterday at the press conference.

The pushback at this town hall in a Republican Congressional district in Wisconsin is what is needed across America. It is the Republican House members that are not standing up to Trump and Musk.

It was an honor attending THE 4TH ANNUAL Chicago Southland Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. luncheon, “Standing Up for Justice & Truth.” In the photo: JUSTICE P. SCOTT NEVILLE, Congresswoman Robin Kelly (2nd District); Victory Apostolic Church-Matteson Sr. Pastor Andrew Singleton and Rev. Bryant Warren.

Democrats Reveal 10-Step Game Plan to Fight Trump’s Smash-and-Grab Government www.robinkellyforcongress.org/teamrobin-wa...

Our 10-point plan: "The top item on the Democratic leader’s agenda was to rally against a broad Office of Management and Budget memo freezing federal spending on grants and loans, which was quickly rescinded last week after it caused widespread confusion." www.thedailybeast.com/democrats-re....

Black history is American history. In today's political climate, understanding and embracing our history is more important than ever. #BlackHistoryMonth

What the President said in the aftermath of last night’s tragic plane crash is disgusting.

This is outrageous and should be reversed immediately. The Tuskegee Airmen are American heroes who served our country honorably and with distinction. Regardless of what this administration does their legacy should not and will not be erased.

This offends everyone whose lives were threatened on January 6. In 2021, we did not experience a “peaceful transition of power.” We experienced an attempt to overthrow our democracy violently. With the stroke of a pen, Trump erased any accountability for that dark day.”

As we observe MLK Day, remember the time is always right to do right!

President Biden delivered his farewell remarks from the White House in the Oval Office. Since taking office on January 20, 2021, President Joe Biden and V.P. Kamala Harris have led this country with dignity. Thank Joe and Kamala by clicking the following link. www.mobilize.us/robinkellyfo...

Happy New Year!

Jimmy Carter lived a selfless life of service to our country, to this world. A true America hero. My condolences to the Carter family. Rest in power Mr. President.

Wishing you a Happy Kwanzaa!

Happy Hanukkah! Let the light shine bright!

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!

Trump hasn’t taken office yet, but Republicans led by the un-elected Elon Musk are already entirely dysfunctional. Once again, they are scrambling to avoid a self-created looming government shutdown. GOP Speaker Mike Johnson’s first spending bill to avoid a government shutdown was quickly .

This is what leadership looks like.

Join me in thanking my dear friend Barbara Lee for her years of service to our country as a member of Congress. She is my shero, my mentor and my fabulous Soror!

It’s been 12 years since the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook. Not a day goes by when I don’t think of the 26 students & educators who lost their lives.

🧵12 years ago today, my 20-year-old neighbor killed his mom at home then used an AR-15 to hunt & murder 20 first graders & 6 educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Since that heart shattering day, many of us from the community formed @newtownaction.bsky.social to prevent another tragedy.
