I’m going live at 10:30 AM with Mercedes Wells, who was forced to deliver her baby in a car after being discharged while in labor.
I’m introducing legislation to make sure no other mom experiences this pain. Watch live on Facebook: www.facebook.com/reprobinkell...

ICE’s detention of pregnant women risks serious injury or even death. This cannot continue.
I led 60 lawmakers in sending a letter to DHS/ICE, demanding that they follow federal regulations protecting pregnant women from detainment and inhumane mistreatment.

Illinois families are paying $766 more because of President Trump and Republicans. Costs of groceries, gas, and rent keep climbing while working people fall behind. I am fighting his reckless, cost-raising agenda.

Trump chose billionaires over families.
His Big Ugly Law makes historic SNAP cuts while millions struggle to put food on the table.
I joined @HouseDemocrats.bsky.social to repeal these cuts and protect kids. No one should go hungry while the rich get richer.

President Trump said that ICE would target the “worst of the worst.”
Only 16 out of 614 detainees were considered high public safety risks and had prior convictions.
President Trump is sowing fear, not facts.

I joined @axios.com Live for a fireside chat on our broken health system—and how to fix it.
We talked about the ACA, Medicaid, ghost networks, and maternal and rural health.
I shared stories from families I represent who just want fair access to care they can trust.

My heart aches for the families impacted by this decision.
Just days before Thanksgiving, parents and loved ones remain detained instead of at home.
This causes real pain and lasting harm; once again the President proves he isn't concerned about We The People.

Medical nutrition therapy saves lives and keeps healthcare costs down.
With Congresswoman Jen Kiggans, I introduced a bipartisan bill to help Medicare cover medical nutrition therapy for more conditions so families can receive the support they need to stay healthy.

Political violence has no place in America.
President Trump's threats against Members of Congress, who have and continue to serve our country with courage and conviction, are despicable. His dangerous rhetoric must stop immediately and be fully condemned.

I have fought for years to make maternal health a national priority. We must support moms before, during, and after labor and close the equity gap for Black moms.

SNAP already has strict rules. But Trump's Big Ugly Law adds new barriers that will kick 42 million people off the program—all to hand out a $4.5 trillion tax break to billionaires.
That means more empty cupboards and hungry kids.
I will always prioritize hardworking families over billionaires.
