President Trump cancelled millions of dollars in grants — which were already allocated! — to lifesaving community violence intervention programs. I spoke with Community Justice Action Fund to demand he reinstate funding. To all CVI workers: I see you. I hear you. I’m fighting for you.

Libraries open up a world of possibilities, knowledge, and opportunity for people to explore different walks of life. Dr. Carla Hayden, the nation’s Librarian of Congress, understood that. For President Trump to fire her is shameful.

Pope Leo XIV grew up in Dolton — right here in the Second District! I wish Pope Leo XIV wisdom and integrity as he leads the Church toward greater inclusion, stronger faith, and love for all. chicago.suntimes.com/religion/202...

Cardinal Robert Prevost, born in Chicago, is the first American pope

Prevost, 69, took the name Leo XIV. His rise to become an influential figure at the Vatican began in south suburban Dolton.

Republicans voted to rename the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. Seriously. This morning, the Democratic Steering & Policy Committee heard from small business owners who are paying the price for Trump's trade war. We're focused on what Americans actually care about.

Republicans want to cut Medicaid by $880 billion. It’s cruel. It’s evil. It’s against our mandate as public servants. I spoke at the @CaringAcross.org 24-hour vigil today with a clear message: I will not let Republicans take away your healthcare. Medicaid saves lives. Period.

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

Absolutely wonderful to meet Christina Perri, a singer who’s advocating for women on the Hill. She told me about her two miscarriages, including her daughter Rosie at 38 weeks, due to an easily prevented blood clotting disorder. Thank you, Christina, for sharing your story.

Great to meet with Railroad Day advocates today to talk about how freight rail supports jobs and infrastructure in the Second District! Fun fact: Chicago is the busiest rail hub in North America, keeping freight moving throughout the country🚂. #RailDay2025

The NONPARTISAN Congressional Budget Office just exposed Republicans’ lies: The Republican budget slashes Medicaid by $880 billion and will kick millions of people off their healthcare. In the Second District, over 300,000 people would lose healthcare. That’s unacceptable.

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

It’s always great to chat with @gabbygiffords.bsky.social — even during these difficult times. She’s a fighter through and through. With @demwomencaucus.bsky.social, we discussed how President Trump’s gun agenda will endanger women’s safety. We’re doing everything in our power to stop it.

Rep. Robin Kelly and former Rep. Gabby Giffords take a photo together.

I signed this petition to force Speaker Johnson to bring a vote to the floor to protect Medicaid and SNAP. We just need four House Republicans to join us and side with the American people. The Hands Off Medicaid and SNAP Act saves people’s healthcare and food assistance.

BREAKING: The Republican budget would make the largest cuts to Medicaid and food assistance in American history. Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social just introduced a discharge petition that — if just a few House Republicans sign — will force a vote to protect Medicaid and SNAP.

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

President Trump’s plan to eliminate Title 1 grants would fire 6,243 teachers in the Second District. That’s unacceptable. This Teacher Appreciation Week and beyond, I promise to protect all educators and public education.

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

Thank you, @schakowsky.house.gov, for your decades of public service. I'm incredibly grateful for your partnership in the Illinois Delegation & the @energycommerce.bsky.social as we've fought for access to high-quality healthcare. I know you'll continue to be a powerful advocate for The people.

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

Community violence intervention organizations are evidence-based solutions to end gun violence. But the Trump administration stole millions of dollars designated by Congress to CVI programs. Read the letter I sent to President Trump exclusively from @thetrace.org www.thetrace.org/2025/05/cong...

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMay 2(source)

President Trump and DOGE cut millions of dollars for community violence intervention programs. This administration treats American lives callously at the direction of Elon Musk. @frost.house.gov, @mcbath.house.gov, @repshontelbrown.bsky.social, and I are demanding that he reinstate these funds.

The Trace

In a May 2 letter to the White House, congressional lawmakers urged President Donald Trump to reinstate more than $150 million in Justice Department grants that were abruptly canceled last week. The cuts have jeopardized at least 65 community-based programs across 25 states.

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

Trump claims that they’re “not going to touch Medicaid"—but the Republican budget directs the @energycommerce.bsky.social to cut $880B... and the Committee oversees Medicaid. 🤔 Take it from a member of the E&C Committee: The math isn’t mathing. I’m prepared to block them at every attempt.

Arm yourselves with facts and vaccinations: Two doses of the measles vaccination provides 97% protection. Children typically receive both doses before turning 6 years old. If you were vaccinated before 1968, check with your healthcare provider to see if you need to be revaccinated.

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

Two cases of measles have been confirmed in Cook County. There’s a measles outbreak in the US, and anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. is in charge of our nation’s health. Under his watch, two children and an adult have died due to measles—all of whom were unvaccinated. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/04/30/c...

Health officials confirm Cook County’s first two measles cases of the year

The Cook County cases follow the first case of measles this year in Illinois in an unvaccinated adult in Marion, reported last week.

I'm proud to be one of 105 House Democrats to protect the privacy of taxpayer data. If you pay taxes, your privacy should be protected — regardless of your immigration status.

Congressional Hispanic Caucus

More than 100 House Democrats joined the CHC in standing against Trump's efforts to illegally turn the IRS into immigration enforcement agents. The privacy of taxpayer data is sacred, and Members of Congress demonstrated they will not stand idly by.

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

President Trump’s accomplishments in 100 days: ☑️Start a trade war ☑️Crash the economy ☑️Let Elon Musk fire thousands of workers ☑️Try to cut Medicaid & Social Security It’s no wonder his approval ratings are at an all-time low. Americans are sick and tired of Trump’s chaos.
