The Trump Administration's military actions in Venezuela have left American families stranded in the region. I joined my colleagues to demand answers from Secretary Duffy about how he will provide relief to Illinoisans impacted by flight restrictions in the Caribbean.

On my way back to DC, I had the chance to stop by the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in St. Louis. It was amazing to watch these incredible athletes compete for a spot on the world stage. Go Team USA!

🎓The @newdems.bsky.social Workforce & Education Agenda is OUT! As New Dems Vice Chair for Policy, I’m excited to unveil our comprehensive strategy to get more folks into good-paying union jobs and empower the next generation by strengthening our K-12 system.

Our economy is rapidly evolving, so it's important that we give our workers the tools & education they need to adapt to these changes. That's why New Dems just released our Workforce & Education Agenda—to keep the jobs of the future here at home.

Communities like Cahokia Heights have faced devastating flooding issues for decades, but in recent years, we’ve been able to make some progress thanks to federal investments I made my top priority. I won’t let President Trump take these critical resources away without a fight.

Poor communities threatened by aging sewers see crucial aid slashed under Trump

Deep funding cuts under President Donald Trump will make it more difficult for struggling communities to get help to fix sewer systems that put health and homes at risk.

Illinoisans don't want more foreign wars. They want a president who's focused on the issues at home.

🚨 Huge win for our district! The House passed a bill with $27.8 million that I secured for local projects — an investment that will have a real, lasting impact on our community’s safety and well-being.

For months, I fought to bring a bill to the House floor to extend the ACA tax credits and prevent millions from losing their health insurance. Tonight, I was proud to cast my “YES” vote 🚨 and the Senate should act immediately to lower costs.

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

As Americans struggle with rising grocery prices and massive healthcare cost increases, the President seems more focused on “running” Venezuela. Let’s be clear: this was never about democracy — it was always about oil.

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

Today, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill to EXTEND the ACA tax credits for three years. This win is a direct result of Democratic pressure on Speaker Mike Johnson to save healthcare for millions of Americans.

I refuse to let big corporations rip off families who are just trying to make ends meet 🚨 Last month, I led 29 of my colleagues in calling out Dollar General and Family Dollar for secretly overcharging customers.

This is a major setback in the fight against climate change and protecting our planet. Denying reality only makes the damage worse.

Trump moves to pull US out of bedrock global climate treaty, becoming first country to do so | CNN

The Trump administration is pulling the United States out of the bedrock treaty that underpins international cooperation on climate change, along with dozens of other global bodies.

No one is above the law, especially the ICE officers entrusted with upholding it. Their purpose is to protect our communities – not endanger them. We need a full investigation, accountability, and a serious check on this Administration.

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

The shooting that took place in Minneapolis is horrific. My heart goes out to the victim, her family, and the entire community as they endure this nightmare.

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

This week, the House will vote on a bill to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits for three years. This win is a direct result of Democratic pressure on Speaker Mike Johnson to take action to save healthcare for millions of Americans.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govJan 6(source)

The American people deserve to know exactly what that means – now. It is long past time for the President to stop ignoring the Constitution and start improving the lives of people here at home. (5/5)

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govJan 6(source)

At a moment when families across this country are struggling to make ends meet, the President is instead claiming that the United States is going to “run Venezuela,” risking a costly war abroad. (4/5)

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govJan 6(source)

While Members of Congress, responsible for representing the will of the American people, were deliberately kept in the dark, the President was privately previewing his actions in Venezuela to U.S. oil companies. (3/5)

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govJan 6(source)

While there is no question that Maduro’s regime in Venezuela was undemocratic & oppressive, President Trump’s use of force without congressional approval was reckless. Time and again, the President has demonstrated open disregard for the role of Congress & the coequal branches of government. (2/5)

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govJan 6(source)

ICYMI: My thoughts on the Trump Administration's actions in Venezuela 👇 (1/5)

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govJan 6(source)

We can never forget the horrors of January 6th or the heroes who gave their lives to defend our democracy.
