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.

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.
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.
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.

Today, I voted NO on a package that would send more funding to the Department of Homeland Security.
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.
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.
Applications for summer internships in my DC office are now open! Visit Budzinski.house.gov/internships to learn more.
Time and again, President Trump has abused the presidential pardon and used his power to enrich himself and his family. I’m backing the Presidential Accountability Amendment to affirm a simple truth: no one is above the law.
Year-round E15 would create critical markets for our farmers AND help lower prices at the gas pump. I am going to keep pushing to get Illinois growers the certainty they deserve.
Elected leaders must be accountable to the people they serve, not corporate interests and wealthy donors. I’m backing the Citizens Over Corporations Amendment and the Disclose Act to overturn Citizens United and get dark money out of our politics.
I met with the management of Sangamon Towers last week to address the serious health and safety concerns at the apartment building. We’re going to keep working to improve conditions for residents because everyone deserves a safe place to call home.
The American people have been clear - the way Washington operates doesn’t best serve everyday people, and this administration is hellbent on exploiting every loophole possible.
Corruption isn’t partisan. It’s about fairness, accountability, and restoring trust. That’s what this agenda does.
