“It’s one thing to be a fighter, but you’ve got to be a winner too. You can’t just fight. You have to have things to show for it,” she said, touting her ability to work across the political aisle.

In our inaugural Week in Review, it’s clear Illinois is fired up! Another great week on the trail to be your next U.S. Senator. People want a fighter and a winner. I’ve delivered for Illinois, and I’m ready to keep going. See you on the trail!

The Republican shut down was never about you. While we've been fighting to protect your health care, they have been fighting to hide a million dollar giveaway to 8 Senators. It's unconscionable, and we won't stop fighting against their greed to protect your care. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Rocking my blue & gold today and feeling grateful. Happy Founders Day to my Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. sorors! Proud to be part of a sisterhood that uplifts, leads, and serves while carrying a powerful legacy of service, scholarship, and sisterhood. 💙💛

I just voted HELL NO on the sham of a shutdown deal. I’m not shocked by the GOP but am deeply disappointed in my Senate colleagues who bought into this nonsense. This so-called deal to end King Trump’s shutdown still doesn’t address our nation’s healthcare crisis. Hell no!

Pleasure to join the Julie Mason Show again to discuss the day’s issues and my Senate campaign: I’m a hell no on the shutdown deal and ICE needs to go home! sxm-publish-clips.content-ingest.siriusxm.com/clip/82c60e8...

World’s worst-kept secret. “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is Trump," Epstein wrote in a typo-riddled message to Maxwell in April 2011. "[Victim] spent hours at my house with him . . . he has never once been mentioned." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Heading back to DC to vote HELL NO — because every American deserves affordable health care. We must extend ACA tax credits and lower costs for working families. This is my fight in the House, and it’s why I’m running for the Senate.

Thank you to the Leaders Network for a powerful discussion today in East Garfield Park. Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson’s courage in the face of ICE pressure is a reminder of the strength in our communities. Grateful for Pastor Cy Fields’ guidance in trying times.

Happy Veterans Day. Thank you to all who have served and continue to serve. Your sacrifice reminds us that freedom is not free. We honor your courage today and every day.

Thanks to the Harvard Club of Chicago for a great discussion on the issues affecting all of us. I believe the fight ahead is about affordability and putting people over profits and political games.

Show me your budget, I'll show you your values. Donald Trump has spent weeks telling you he'd rather pay for golden toilets and ballrooms than SNAP benefits and health care subsidies. And he wants to use your money to pay for it.

I am hopeful Senate Democrats will hold the line against the cruelty and lies of the Trump administration. I am prepared to stand with House Democrats and fight for the American people.

As per usual Donald Trump LIED, costs are not down & it’s absolutely ridiculous for him to continue gaslighting the American people!

The same guy spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a ballroom doesn’t want to hear that you can’t afford groceries or your gas bill. Can’t make this stuff up.

President Trump is using hunger as a weapon—and defying a federal court to do it. A judge just ordered the White House to release SNAP funds for 42 million Americans. Every hour they delay is cruelty in action. Release the funds NOW! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

Nancy (@pelosi.house.gov) thank you for your leadership, your friendship, and your steadfast commitment to the American people, especially the children. As Speaker, you changed what was possible—passing historic legislation and lifting up millions. Your legacy of service will endure.

Last night’s results show Americans are paying attention and pushing back against Trump’s cruelty. I was proud to join Respond Now to help get food to families in need. Thank you to everyone stepping up. We take care of each other. That’s how we win.

Tonight on FOX

Absolutely thrilled for my colleagues @abigailspanberger.com and @mikiesherrill.bsky.social on their victories tonight! Democrats are fighting back against Trump’s chaos and extremism—proving that leadership, compassion, and results still matter. The people are choosing progress.

He’s weaponizing starvation — using the hunger of the American people as a bargaining chip. This isn’t leadership. It’s cruelty. It’s inhuman.

It’s absolutely cruel what’s happening now,” she said of the pause in SNAP benefits. We are fighting for values. We want people to be able to have health care. We don’t want people to die. chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/11...

Thanks to the @fooddepository.bsky.social and Trinity Church for feeding our neighbors in need. I’m happy to do my part. There is no reason anyone in America should ever go hungry. But Donald cares more about his billionaire friends than the rest of us. This fight is not over. #peopleoverprofits

The right decision but we see where this administration stands. Billionaires over real people. The fight is not over…

Join our Indivisible Voices Podcast with special guest US Rep. & US Senate Candidate Robin Kelly. Hear about some of the most important questions facing our democracy today @robinlynnekelly.bsky.social @indivisible.org www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-WR...

Don’t believe White House/Republican lies. The Trump administration could use billions of dollars in contingency funds to prevent millions of Americans from losing SNAP benefits. They’d rather see people starve, all for political theater.

Justice was served today. But Sonya Massey should still be alive. Her murderer’s conviction is a step toward accountability. Real justice means ensuring better training and screening for law enforcement. Thinking of Sonya’s family and everyone still waiting for justice.

OMG!!! The regime is here, not coming. This is absolutely ridiculous. What about our first amendment rights that they swear they love!!!!

Illinois is known for its U.S. Senators who show up, put their head down, and get the job done. Congresswoman Kelly is proving to be the extremely hard-working candidate that continues to fit that frame. citizennewspapergroup.com/news/2025/oc...

Thank you to everyone who signed my petition and all of the volunteers who helped us in this effort.

Thank you to Live Free Illinois for yesterday’s powerful forum. The dialogue on gun violence prevention and safety net hospitals was deeply needed. Working together—faith leaders, health professionals, and communities—we can save lives and build a safer Illinois.

Today’s shadow hearing put faces to Trump’s assault on Chicago — parents, children, neighbors whose lives were shattered by his unlawful actions. We owe them accountability and the chance to rebuild in peace.

Always proud to stand with true champions of the people like @jasmineforus.bsky.social & Father Mike Pfleger to encourage all of us to keep standing up, speaking up and showing up against Trump and his destruction of our democracy.

Trump and his GOP cronies don’t care about working families—they care about appeasing a wannabe king in a gaudy ballroom. Next week, your healthcare costs go up while they toast his ego. It’s time to put people over profits. #PeopleOverProfits

The East Wing in happier times—once a symbol of grace, purpose, and pride. Now it’s rubble, bulldozed by Trump, who’s made destruction his signature move. He seems determined to demolish everything he touches.

My condolences to Darren and Cindy Bailey on the heartbreaking loss of their son Zachary, his wife Kelsey, and their children Vada Rose and Samuel. My heart aches for their grandson Finn, who lost his parents and siblings.

It’s still Tuesday in the U.S. Senate—because @jeff-merkley.bsky.social never stopped speaking. Thank you for holding the floor and holding the line for working families as this GOP shutdown drags into Day 22. We see you, and we’re with you. #EndTheShutdown

The #NoKings energy at 103rd & Western was electric! 🔥 Every corner packed with people standing up to the wannabe dictator. Illinois won’t bow to bullies. We will #StopTheGestapo! Join us 👉 stopthegestapo.com

Proud to stand with Local 150 and @chicagolabor.bsky.social this morning. QSL America’s unfair labor practices have no place in Illinois. The Illinois International Port District must act now. I’ve got labor’s back—100%.

How many of you are wondering if you can afford to order pizza for your family this weekend? Instead of making your life more affordable, Trump is having a candlelight dinner for anyone that will fork over a million bucks. We need to get the money out of politics and put People Over Profits.

TikTok just blocked this video. Join me at stopthegestapo.com

Breaking down doors with no warrants. Ripping children out of bed to zip-tie their hands. Firing pepper spray at a priest. Military-style raids on apartment complexes. We can't stop fighting back against these illegal and un-American tactics.

What happened today on Chicago’s Southeast Side was shameful. ICE’s behavior demands accountability, and Secretary Noem has shown she’s unfit to lead. Time for her to go.

Illinois stands on the ancestral lands of the Illiniwek Confederation. On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honor their legacy & reaffirm our commitment to justice, sovereignty, and respect for Native communities across our state.

Grateful to the Illinois News Broadcasters Association and Illinois Press Association for hosting today’s Press Day for U.S. Senate candidates. Every corner of Illinois deserves to hear from all the candidates—and I’m ready to represent all of us in the U.S. Senate.
