The President of the United States and his allies have engaged in an unconstitutional, unilateral military operation and regime change in Venezuela. He’s now threatening, both directly and indirectly, other sovereign nations across the region. Congress must exercise its power and halt the belligerent violence of this corrupt administration. The American people need leaders focused on addressing their very real economic needs, and not provoking expensive and illegal wars. Americans need healthcare, not more warfare.

The fight for clean air, clean water, and for environmental protections has been going on for decades and the Trump administration and his allies are setting us back.

When it comes to feeding people, we have to look beyond profit margin. Our kids should have a full stomach so they can focus on school, not on when they’ll have their next meal.
As always it was a pleasure speaking at the Rainbow Push breakfast. I provided an update on the budget, transit, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. Youth Voter Engagement Act.

Families in the 2nd Congressional District are hurting. They are demanding we have fighters who have a history of getting big things done. I’ll fight alongside Bernie Sanders for our working class communities.
On this and every Memorial Day, I think of my grandparents, Robert and Lavergne, who served bravely in WWII to fend off fascism and defend democracy. We remember all those who have sacrificed for our country, and honor their memories by fiercely protecting our freedoms.

“I’m running for Congress to take on the billionaires in charge of Washington and to build a government that delivers for the people. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are taking a wrecking ball to our fundamental rights, and we need a proven fighter in Congress to stand up to them and their extremist followers. “This moment demands that we stand up for the freedoms of not only ourselves, but also our neighbors. We need leaders in Congress who will protect Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and our fundamental rights. We must come together to make government work for everyone — not just the wealthy and big corporations. I’m ready to organize with communities across the district to advance that vision together.”
SPRINGFIELD — In advance of the Secretary of Homeland Security’s visit to Illinois, State Senator Robert Peters (D-Chicago), released the following statement condemning the federal administration’s ongoing immigration failures: “Today’s visit from Secretary Noem is a staged performance meant to distract from the cruelty, chaos and moral failure that have defined this administration’s approach to immigration. Let’s call this what it is: a desperate attempt to shift blame onto the very communities showing the compassion, humanity and responsibility this administration lacks in the face of a humanitarian crisis. “Illinois is a welcoming state, built on bipartisan state immigration policy, and we say that with pride. We don’t turn our backs on people because of where they were born or what language they speak. While this administration sows fear and division, we in Illinois choose unity, dignity and hope. “We have watched this administration weaponize immigration to score points and distract from its own inability to lead. We have watched them rip families apart, detain children and treat human beings like political pawns. Now, they want to come to our state and lecture us on how to respond. We reject that entirely. “Illinois will not apologize for standing with immigrant communities, and we will not be bullied into abandoning the values that define us. This moment demands more than empty visits and rehearsed talking points – it demands action rooted in decency and leaders who see people, not problems. “Here in Illinois, we choose to move forward. We will to not back down – not now, not ever.”
Robin Kelly has been a dedicated advocate for Illinois' 2nd District, working tirelessly to improve the lives of the families she represents. From leading efforts in Congress to combat gun violence to addressing the maternal health crisis, her commitment to making our communities safer has always been her guiding principle. We owe her a great deal of gratitude for her service. As we face a critical moment for our democracy, it’s vital that IL-02 continues to be represented by someone with the fire to deliver for working people. I am actively engaging with constituents to discuss the next steps in our movement for a government that truly serves the people. I’ll be sharing more details about my plans soon.

Rep. John Cabello (R-Machesney Park) was asked this question today… You are a police officer. I mean, do you agree, though, that should people that assaulted police officers be pardoned? He didn’t answer, and instead tried to pivot to the SAFE-T Act. He was asked again, and he didn’t answer again.
The Walgreens closures at our South Commercial Avenue, South King Drive and South Jeffrey Boulevard locations will be a devastating blow to the South Side community and the residents who rely on these stores for groceries and prescriptions. We will fight to hold these corporations accountable and ensure our communities are not left behind. The South Side deserves better.
I’m sorry your political careers have stalled so badly that you’re now using dated and failed public safety talking points to claw your way back to political relevancy.
