The Trump Administration has slashed billions of dollars from programs to prevent infectious disease and address the substance use crisis - including in Illinois. I sent a letter to Secretary Kennedy calling on him to reverse these cuts that threaten the health and safety of our communities.
When I talk to veterans in my district, they share their fear and confusion over what the Trump administration’s VA layoffs will mean for their care. Instead of getting answers for our veterans, the House Veterans' Affairs Committee is hosting a sales pitch.
Investing in the next generation of farmers is an investment in the future of American agriculture. I’m proud to lead bipartisan legislation with Rep. Zach Nunn, Rep. Joe Courtney and Senator Tina Smith to help new and beginning farmers access land, markets and capital.
Women are the fastest-growing demographic in the military, but women vets are often underserved and overlooked. It was great to meet with the Tri-State Women Warriors to hear their perspectives and talk about how we can work together to address the unique needs of women veterans.
Thanks to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing for stopping by my DC office! Proud to be your partner in strengthening nursing education in Illinois and across the country.
As a member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, speaking directly with veterans about their needs is one of the most important parts of my job - even more so with the Trump Administration’s recent attacks on the VA. Thanks to VFW Post 4183 in Belleville for having me & @duckworth.senate.gov!
Today, @duckworth.senate.gov and I toured the John Cochran VA Medical Center in St. Louis that serves many veterans in #IL13. It was great to see the facility firsthand and learn how we can support their important work in Congress.
Eid Mubarak to all celebrating in #IL13 and around the world!
I hosted a roundtable in Alton last week, where my constituent shared a powerful story about how important it is to protect Medicaid:
Reposted byNikki Budzinski
"Stripping workers of their collective bargaining rights doesn’t just weaken unions—it threatens the very core of the American Dream."
Statement from New Dem Vice Chair for Policy @budzinski.house.gov on Trump's executive order ending collective bargaining rights for federal workers ⬇️
We’re back! As the House Ag Committee works on the Farm Bill, stay tuned for my Farm Bill 201 series where I’ll explain what this huge piece of legislation means for our food and farm systems.
Trump is attacking the rights of one million working men and women in the federal workforce with the goal of jamming through his anti-worker agenda and eroding government services that Americans rely on.
I stand in solidarity with AFGE and the labor movement. We will fight back.
President Trump and Republicans in Congress are eyeing billions of dollars of cuts to Medicaid - this would be devastating for Americans with disabilities, working families, and hardworking health care providers. This week, I met with @seiu.org care workers to talk about how we’re fighting back.
Veterans who experienced military sexual trauma should never have to face more pain when they file a claim with the VA. I introduced a bipartisan bill with Rep. Kim, Rep. Houlahan, and Rep. Bacon to cut red tape and ensure the claims process is not retraumatizing for survivors.
As a care worker, Juandalynn knows just how important Medicaid is to keep her patients at home, enjoying their lives with their families. We can’t let this lifeline be cut.
Cutting SNAP benefits would raise grocery bills for families, force kids and seniors to go hungry, and hurt the farmers who grow our food.
House Republicans’ proposal to slash this critical program is just plain wrong.
In the Midwest, the Postal Service is a lifeline. I will always fight for hardworking postal employees who provide an essential service to our communities.
Secretary Hegseth’s carelessness and incompetence put our service members, intelligence officers, and national security in grave danger.
He must resign immediately. And if he doesn’t resign, he should be fired.
Last week, President Trump issued an executive order to shut down the Department of Education. Here’s what that means for our communities:
