As President Trump continues his attacks on America’s public servants, I was glad to have the opportunity to meet with AFGE Local 96 in DC today. I will always stand up for these dedicated public servants who work tirelessly on behalf of Central and Southern Illinois veterans.

The Heart Truth®

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. But you can do a lot to protect your heart.

The cold weather has been brutal this winter, and with energy prices rising, working families in my district are struggling. I’m fighting to protect critical programs like LIHEAP that help families heat their homes AND to pass policies that invest in domestic energy production to bring down costs.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govFeb 8(source)

It’s deeply disappointing that the Domestic Energy Task Force doesn’t include a single Democrat. Biofuels are a historically bipartisan issue that impacts blue and red districts alike. Our farmers deserve better than this blatant partisanship.

Your Super Bowl party is more expensive this year thanks to President Trump.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govFeb 7(source)

This is disgusting and disgraceful. Whether it came from President Trump himself or his staff is irrelevant—this does not represent our values as a country. The American people deserve so much better than this from the White House.

A video shared on President Trump’s Truth Social account depicts the Obamas as apes.

In today’s digital age, protecting our privacy is more important than ever. With VA possessing vast amounts of data on our veterans, I’ve introduced legislation to prevent their personal information from being misused.

How can the American people trust our justice system when SCOTUS justices are allowed to accept luxury gifts and secret donations? I’m supporting legislation to create a binding code of ethics for the Supreme Court.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govFeb 5(source)

The Trump administration froze $1 billion in funding that helps Illinois working families afford quality childcare and helps caregivers like Pamela keep her doors open. Childcare isn’t a luxury, it’s a lifeline. I’m going to keep fighting to restore these critical resources.

Child care funding freeze could worsen shortage in Illinois, providers say - Capitol City Now

Illinois already has too few providers and many rely on funding from federal programs.

Growers in my district and across the country are struggling with rising input costs and a historic trade deficit as a result of President Trump’s reckless tariffs. We need a real change in this administration’s approach to avoid a full-on farm crisis.

Supreme Court justices should follow the same ethical standards as everyone else. Congress must pass the High Court Gift Ban Act to ensure the Supreme Court can’t be influenced by luxury gifts, secret donors, or shadow lobbying.

As the demand for mental health care grows, we need real solutions to help recruit and retain mental health professionals in the communities that need them most. I’m proud to introduce the More Behavioral Health Providers Act to help increase access to these essential services.

Last week, I joined @endcitizensunited.bsky.social President Tiffany Muller for a conversation about how we can end the influence of dark money in our democracy and return power to the people. I’m pushing a comprehensive anti-corruption agenda to do just that. dailyillini.com/news-stories...

Rep. Nikki Budzinski announces anti-corruption agenda - The Daily Illini

Illinois Rep. Nikki Budzinski, D-13, announced a seven-point anti-corruption agenda, primarily focused on fiscal transparency in politics.

Today, I voted NO on a package that would send more funding to the Department of Homeland Security.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govFeb 3(source)

Public service is meant to serve the people, not enrich those in power. I’m proud to support the Restore Trust in Congress Act to BAN Congressional stock trading. It’s just common sense.

💕Join me in showing your appreciation for #IL13’s hometown heroes by writing a Valentine's Day card for our local veterans! Mail or drop off your cards at one of my district offices by February 10th!

Happy Black History Month! This month, join me in celebrating the extraordinary achievements of Black Americans who have made their mark on our country, our culture, and our communities. Black history IS American history.

Americans deserve to know that when they send their mail-in ballots, bill payments, or tax returns that the postmark will reflect the day that they put it in the mail. I’m leading a letter to the Postmaster General demanding that he reverse his new postmark policy.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govFeb 2(source)

Last year, President Trump and Republicans in Congress slashed Medicaid funding and let critical ACA tax credits expire – plunging America into a health care crisis. To truly tackle affordability, we need to reverse these cruel cuts.

The cost of health care, not food or rent, is now Americans’ top worry

As politicians prepare their pitches for the midterm elections, a survey finds that about 1 in 3 Americans are “very worried” about health care costs.
