June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on brain health and show support for the Alzheimer’s and dementia community. Grateful to advocates who stopped by my office to share their stories and talk about their legislative priorities to #ENDALZ!

It’s absolutely unacceptable that USPS delivery rates in my district plummeted this Spring – and it’s a direct result of misguided changes to rural delivery schedules. We need to pass my Protect Postal Performance Act to prevent any more slowdowns of the mail our communities rely on.

Many veterans struggle with the invisible wounds of war, but they often don’t know where to turn for support. I just introduced a bill to require the VA to reach out to vets about mental health services – making that first step easier to get connected with needed care.

Equal work deserves equal pay. Today, on the 62nd anniversary of the Equal Pay Act, we celebrate this landmark law while recognizing that women still make just 85 cents on the dollar. It’s time to close the gender wage gap once and for all.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govJun 10(source)

I just introduced a bill to reform VA’s Health Professionals Scholarship Program so that graduates can begin their VA careers sooner. This bipartisan legislation will help address severe staffing shortages at the Veterans Health Administration and improve veterans access to care.

Americans deserve better than the Trump administration’s chaos and false promises - they deserve real solutions that improve their lives. Check out my op-ed about how the #NewDemsOnTheRoad tour can chart a new path forward on the issues that matter most:

🚨August Egg Company has issued a recall of certain eggs sold in Illinois that may be contaminated with salmonella. I encourage you to read their announcement to see if you’ve purchased recalled eggs.

August Egg Company Recalls Shell Eggs Because of Possible Health Risk

America’s rural hospitals are in crisis. Since 2010, more than 150 have closed their doors and hundreds more are at risk. That’s why I introduced the Save America’s Rural Hospitals Act, a bipartisan bill to reform the Medicare repayment structure and ease the burden on rural hospitals.

Experts at the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office are estimating that the GOP tax package would kick 16 million Americans off their health insurance. Meanwhile, the top 0.1% would get a $255,000 tax break. I refuse to fund giveaways to billionaires on the back of working families.

Congratulations to Dr. Charles Lee Isbell Jr. on his appointment as the next UIUC Chancellor and vice president of the University of Illinois System! I look forward to working together.

Charles Lee Isbell Jr. has been named the next chancellor of the University and vice president of the University of Illinois System, pending approval by the Board of Trustees.

On this day in 1965, the Supreme Court affirmed the right to contraception with their decision in Griswold v. Connecticut. In Congress, I’m keeping up the fight to protect reproductive freedom and the right of every woman to make her own health care decisions.

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

Right now, Republicans in Congress are pushing their disastrous tax package that cuts taxes for billionaires while slashing $300 billion from SNAP. It’s a giveaway to the top 1% on the backs of working families.

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

I can’t support any deal that leaves out Granite City. Steelworkers need a seat at the table and a real commitment that Illinois won’t be left behind.

81 years ago, thousands of troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to defeat the Nazis and liberate Europe. The bravery of the soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Forces changed the course of history. Their sacrifices will never be forgotten.

I enjoyed meeting with some local realtors from Central and Southern Illinois this week! We had a great conversation about what Congress can do to support a vibrant real estate market across the United States.

Republicans on the House Ag Committee have spent the last two years pushing harmful, partisan legislation that ignores the needs of Illinois growers. Instead of just paying lip service to conservation, we need a REAL Farm Bill that funds the climate-smart agriculture programs our farmers rely on.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govJun 5(source)

In case you missed it, I joined Michelle Eccles to talk tariffs, the GOP tax package, and how we should be focused on lowering costs for working families. Listen to our conversation:

Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski monitoring the impact of tariffs on her district | First Listen

Budzinski says tariffs can serve a good purpose, but the on again-off again nature of the Trump tariffs is not helpful

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govJun 5(source)

Working Americans have made their priorities clear: they want Congress to lower costs, bring home good-paying jobs, and make billionaires pay their fair share. I joined @repcasar.bsky.social and @americanprogress.bsky.social for a discussion on how Democrats can put these issues front and center.

The GOP tax package is a disaster for America, but don’t just take it from me. A new analysis from experts at the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says the bill adds $2.4 trillion to the deficit while ripping health care away from 10.9 million people. There’s nothing beautiful about that.

Trump tax bill will add $2.4 trillion to the deficit and leave 10.9 million more uninsured, CBO says

President Donald Trump’s big bill is likely to unleash trillions in tax cuts and slash spending, but also spike deficits by $2.4 trillion over the decade and leave some 10.9 million more people withou...

Tonight, I voted for the SUPPORT Act to advance key priorities I’ve championed like bolstering maternal health programs, improving mental health for students, and addressing the opioid crisis. This bill is a vital step to build healthier, stronger communities in Illinois and across the country.
