ACA health insurance is a lifeline for millions of small business owners, their employees, and self-employed Americans. I led 108 House Democrats urging Speaker Johnson to extend the ACA tax credits and ensure coverage remains affordable for the small business community.

This administration’s reckless misuse of ICE has sown fear and chaos in our communities. Our immigrant community doesn't deserve this and we must demand better.

This is unacceptable. Myself and Senator Durbin are working urgently to obtain information about his status and to ensure he is released and reunited with his family immediately.

My office has received deeply troubling reports that a beloved member of the Staunton community, local business owner, father, and resident of over 20 years, was detained by ICE after dropping his children off at school. 🧵

While nothing can bring Sonya Massey back, I am grateful that this trial has resulted in a measure of justice for her and her family.

The idea that America doesn't have money to fund SNAP through November is simply a lie. The Trump administration is choosing to let 42 million kids, seniors, veterans, and families go hungry.

While Republicans sit at home for the sixth week in a row, I’m in DC fighting to reopen the government, fund SNAP, and save healthcare.

It’s getting spooky out there…

It's Day 2️⃣8️⃣ of the Republican government shutdown.

360,000 Illinoisans stand to be impacted by SNAP changes in Trump’s Big, Ugly Law. @Quigley.house.gov and I sent a letter to USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins urging more time for our state to make these changes, so that we can protect as many folks as possible from these disastrous cuts.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govOct 28(source)

Here’s the reality: Social Security simply isn’t keeping up with seniors’ high cost of living. I’m proud to introduce a bill to tie Social Security adjustments to the price index for older Americans, better reflecting seniors' costs. We’re fighting to ensure every American can retire with dignity.

Republican Medicaid cuts are starting to hit rural communities across the country, pushing providers to the brink and making it even harder for folks to access care. For Illinois, this means 535,849 people are at risk of losing their health insurance and nine rural hospitals could shut their doors.

I joined @houseagdems.bsky.social in a letter to USDA urging them to use their emergency funds to continue SNAP past November 1st. We can’t let our seniors, veterans, children, and families go hungry.

Central Illinois Foodbank braces for potential halt of SNAP program

The Central Illinois Foodbank in Springfield is preparing for a possible halt in the SNAP program amid the federal government shutdown.

This project will create jobs, lower emissions, and strengthen our local energy grid in the Decatur area. Excited to see it happening right here in IL-13!

Google carbon capture deal backs Illinois power plant

Google backs an Illinois gas plant with carbon capture, storing 90% of emissions to power Midwest data centers and cut grid emissions.

Trump Math: Money for ballrooms and billionaire giveaways, nothing for the millions of hardworking Americans who are going to see their healthcare costs skyrocket.

I enjoyed touring Millikin University in Decatur and meeting with leadership this week! Millikin is one of many amazing colleges that make Illinois 13th District a destination for students from across the country.

This week, my team met with Pastor Jon Weatherly from Urbana and the ONE Campaign to talk about lifesaving foreign aid programs like PEPFAR. President Trump’s attacks on funding for this successful HIV-prevention initiative are cruel and unacceptable.

Working harder than House Republicans.

While Illinois farmers suffer, President Trump is doubling on his $20 billion bailout to help Argentina undercut our soy growers here at home. What happened to putting America first?

U.S. support for Argentina could hit $40 billion

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said an additional $20 billion in private-sector loans for Argentina could effectively double the value of a U.S. rescue plan.
