Today, we mark the 70th anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott beginning - a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement. As we honor civil rights heroes like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, let’s carry on their legacy by continuing to fight for equality and justice today.

The decision to restart one of the furnaces at Granite City Works is good news – it shows that our advocacy and collective action make a difference. We’re going to keep fighting for the long-term commitment and investments that Granite City deserves.

Every American deserves access to quality, affordable health care. Our @newdems.bsky.social framework is the path toward living up to that fundamental principle.

🚨New @lcv.org report shows that Illinois was a national leader in clean energy this year – and that our state’s investments in wind and solar are helping consumers with skyrocketing utility bills! I’ve been proud to partner with @ilenviro.bsky.social to push for this progress.

I’m proud to cosponsor the Veteran Education Empowerment Act introduced by Rep. Lois Frankel & Rep. Gus Bilirakis this week! This bipartisan bill would authorize funding for Student Veteran Success Centers at colleges & universities nationwide, and support veterans as they pursue higher education.

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

The @washingtonpost.com's latest editorial doesn’t just misrepresent the role of unions at the VA — it flat-out gets it wrong. Strong unions help deliver better care for our veterans. That’s the truth.

Opinion | America’s veterans deserve better care than government unions provide

President Franklin D. Roosevelt understood the folly of collective bargaining at Veterans Affairs.

After they slashed nearly a trillion dollars from Medicaid, Republicans offered just $50 billion as a band-aid for rural hospitals. As states apply for this funding, we need transparency to make sure that these critical dollars are distributed fairly.

Feds Promised ‘Radical Transparency’ but Are Withholding Rural Health Fund Applications - KFF Health News

Excited to unveil the New Dem Coalition Health Care Action Plan today! Our framework isn’t only about reversing Republicans’ manufactured healthcare crisis, it’s about creating a new standard where quality care is affordable and accessible to every American.

ICYMI: I sent a letter to the management of Sangamon Towers in Springfield demanding they take action to address the unsafe and unsanitary conditions in the apartment building. I will keep fighting until these issues are resolved for residents.

At the end of this month, the ACA tax credits will expire – plunging millions of Americans even deeper into the affordability crisis as their health care costs skyrocket. It’s time for President Trump and Republicans in Congress to get serious about saving healthcare.

Today is World AIDS Day, where we come together to raise awareness and honor those we’ve lost to this disease. As a nation, we cannot turn our back on our partners working to save lives and end HIV/AIDS once and for all.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govNov 30(source)

The Trump Administration has taken a chainsaw to VA and it’s having a real impact on our veterans. Cutting contracts with more than 1,200 veteran-owned businesses is just wrong.

DOGE had a cutting spree. 550 vet-owned businesses felt it.

Among the contracts DOGE canceled under the Department of Veterans Affairs alone, two-thirds were with veteran-owned businesses.

Happy Small Business Saturday! Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and this Saturday is a perfect time to support our favorite local stores, cafes, restaurants, and more!

This National Family Caregivers Month, join me in honoring the 48 million Americans who serve as caregivers to their loved ones. These everyday heroes are an essential part of our healthcare system and it’s time we give them the recognition they deserve.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govNov 27(source)

From my family to yours, happy Thanksgiving! I hope your day is filled with gratitude, good food and great time spent with loved ones.

President Trump is destroying the Department of Education. Let’s talk about it ⬇️

Mold, bed bugs, and harassment – the conditions at Sangamon Towers in Springfield are absolutely unacceptable. I wrote to building management demanding better for residents and we will continue to hold them accountable to ensure that Sangamon Towers is safe, clean and comfortable.

Today, I stopped by the Northeast Community Fund in Decatur to pack Thanksgiving boxes! I’m thankful for the work they do each and every day to make sure none of our neighbors go hungry.

Working families can’t afford to pay thousands of dollars more a year for their health insurance. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are continuing to fight to extend the ACA tax credits and ensure every American can get the care they need.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govNov 24(source)

Before he took office, President Trump vowed to cut power bills in half in 12 months. Instead, his reckless tariffs and war on clean energy have caused electricity prices to rise twice as fast as inflation. That’s unsustainable for working families who need to heat their homes this winter.

Electricity prices are climbing more than twice as fast as inflation

Electricity prices are rising more than twice as fast as overall inflation. That's especially costly during the dog days of summer when air conditioners are working hardest. In addition to hot weath...
