U.S. Representative Robin Kelly shared a series of posts on her Twitter account on February 13, 2026, addressing themes ranging from camaraderie among women in Congress to calls for political accountability and support for immigrant communities.

In a tweet posted at 18:02 UTC, Kelly wrote, “Who runs the world? Galentine’s edition with @RepYvetteClarke and @RepBonnie. I am honored to call these incredible women my friends. Happy Galentine’s Day to all the ladies out there!” This message highlighted her friendship with fellow Representatives Yvette Clarke and Bonnie Watson Coleman.

Later that evening at 21:15 UTC, Kelly addressed South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, stating, “A vast majority of Americans want Kristi Noem gone. I’ve listened to the people’s outcry for change. I’m impeaching Secretary Noem to end her reign of terror. She has got to go.”

At 23:15 UTC, Kelly directed a message toward immigrants in her community: “To my immigrant neighbors: You are valued, you are seen, and you belong. I celebrate with you in joyous times and fight alongside you in difficult times. You are not alone.. #ToImmigrantsWithLove”

Robin Kelly has consistently secured re-election in Illinois’ 2nd congressional district since first winning a special election in 2013. In that year, she defeated Paul McKinley by receiving over 70% of the vote. In subsequent general elections—2014 through 2022—she maintained significant margins over her opponents each cycle.
