The Republican government shutdown is having serious impacts on local nonprofits that are facing program cuts and funding delays. Today, I met with nonprofit leaders in Springfield to hear about the challenges they’re facing as they continue their essential work in our communities.

I joined my colleagues from Illinois in seeking answers about just how much it’ll cost Illinoisans if Republicans allow the ACA tax credits to expire. Spoiler alert: it’s a lot.

It’s Day 1⃣7⃣ of the Republican government shutdown. If you’re wondering how this shutdown affects important government services, I encourage you to visit my website: budzinski.house.gov/shutdown-res... As always, my team is here to help!

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. I stand with survivors in Illinois and across the country as we bring attention to this important issue.

Illinois moms juggle a lot - balancing work, childcare, and the family budget at a time when costs keep rising. Yesterday, the Democratic Women Caucus heard from advocates & experts about how this Republican healthcare crisis and government shutdown are increasing the burden on women and families.

Researchers at the University of Illinois’ Prairie Research Institute are developing innovative solutions to our top public health and national security challenges. The Trump administration cancelling their funding to retaliate against Democrats is unprecedented, unjustified, and unacceptable.

While House Republicans are sitting at home for the fourth week in a row, House Democrats are back in DC and standing united. We won’t give in to this administration hell-bent on ripping healthcare away from working people.

I met with air traffic controllers at Willard Airport in Savoy who are working without pay because of the government shutdown. This shutdown has worsened staffing shortages and created flight delays across the country. Republicans need to come to the table to reach a deal to end this crisis.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govOct 15(source)

We’re demanding that Secretary Collins stop weaponizing this shutdown. By ignoring our requests for casework assistance, you’re not hurting us – you’re hurting America’s veterans and their families.

Democratic lawmakers accuse VA Secretary Collins of ‘weaponizing’ the shutdown and ignoring requests to assist constituents

Democratic lawmakers accused VA leaders of “weaponizing” the shutdown by ignoring requests to assist veterans and their families in their districts.

🚨The Trump administration just decimated the Dept of Ed office in charge of special education. These employees do essential work to ensure that children with disabilities receive the resources they need to succeed in school. They must be reinstated.

Amid shutdown, Trump administration guts department overseeing special education

Multiple sources tell NPR that as part of the Trump administration's latest reduction-in-force, the U.S. Department of Education has gutted the office that handles special education.

As a member of Congress, it’s my honor to nominate #IL13’s best and brightest students to attend our U.S. Service Academies. Applications are open now and close on November 1st. Visit my website to apply today! budzinski.house.gov/service-acad...

Service Academy Nominations

The honor of attending a service academy comes with the obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation.

I held a roundtable with nursing students and recent graduates at SIUE to discuss how nurses are being impacted by cuts to rural healthcare. As I fight back against these cuts in Congress, it’s critical to listen to the first-hand experiences of our frontline healthcare workers.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govOct 13(source)

My constituents have already been getting notices that their monthly health insurance bills are going to double. Why? Because Republicans refuse to extend critical ACA tax credits. I want to hear from you: how much are your costs going to go up? budzinski.house.gov/posts/seekin...

Congress awarded this medal to every Rosie back in 2020 and when we found out about Betty’s story, my office worked to secure a physical medal from the U.S. Mint which I presented to her today. I’m so glad we were able to honor this incredible member of our community!

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govOct 13(source)

It was an incredible honor to present the Congressional Gold Medal to Collinsville’s own Betty Wrigley. A real-life Rosie the Riveter, this award recognizes Betty’s invaluable contributions to the war effort during WWII and celebrates her role as a trailblazer for generations of women in America.

Today is Indigenous Peoples’ Day, where we honor the history, culture, and contributions of Indigenous peoples who have inhabited the Americas for tens of thousands of years. I stand with Native communities in Illinois and across the country as we work toward a more just and equal future.

After 738 long days, every hostage is finally free. The nightmare for them and their families is finally over. Today marks a hopeful beginning toward lasting peace in the region.
