I’m thrilled to join Senator Durbin and Senator Duckworth in announcing that the Springfield Rail Improvement Project has received the funding it needs to move forward! Families across Springfield will benefit from a quieter downtown, safer streets, and good-paying union jobs in our community.

I joined Fox News to talk about my concerns with the Republicans’ tax bill that will benefit the top 5% at the expense of working families. Watch: www.foxnews.com/video/637267...

Edan Alexander endured the unimaginable for nearly 600 days. I am so relieved to know he is safe and will finally be reunited with his family. We can't give up now. We must continue working to bring every hostage home and end this war.

It was great to meet with members of the Illinois Coalition from the National Association of Towns and Townships in my DC office! I was glad to speak with them about their tax and transportation priorities.

Today marks the beginning of National Women’s Health Week! As a member of @demwomencaucus.bsky.social, I am committed to raising awareness of women’s health and ensuring all women have access to the resources and care they need.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms in #IL13 and across the country! Thank you for all you do to love and support us.

I was thrilled to host the second New Dems on the Road roundtable focused on clean energy right here in Edwardsville, Illinois. Thanks so much Rep. Wesley Bell and @repscottpeters.bsky.social for joining this important conversation!

Keeping the USPS a public good and defending labor rights are not negotiable. Mail carriers and postal workers are everyday heroes who deserve respect, fair treatment, and the resources needed to serve the public effectively. I hope Mr. Steiner can recognize that. www.cbsnews.com/news/fedex-b...

FedEx board member David Steiner selected as next USPS postmaster general

The Trump administration has raised the idea of privatizing the nearly 250-year-old Postal Service.

This is just the beginning. Stay tuned!

New Dems are tackling every issue — from immigration to affordable childcare — and working to find practical, lasting solutions that reflect the values and priorities of the American people.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMay 9(source)

Today, I’m hosting our second stop in Edwardsville, with @repscottpeters.bsky.social and @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social for a conversation about powering the clean energy economy of the future.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMay 9(source)

The American people want solutions to the issues that keep them up at night – not finger-pointing and political games. That’s why the @newdems.bsky.social is hitting the road, engaging with communities across the country, and gathering the critical feedback we need to guide our work. 🧵

Ensuring that children, seniors, and veterans don’t go hungry should be something we can all get behind. I stand with my Democratic colleagues on the House Agriculture Committee in calling out House Republicans’ plan to slash $230 BILLION from SNAP because Illinois families deserve better.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMay 9(source)

This week, I led the Illinois delegation in a letter calling on HHS Secretary Kennedy to protect funding for Head Start. More than 36 million children across the country benefit from Head Start - including 28,000 in our state. Investing in this program means investing in our future.

The new pope has chosen the name Leo — honoring Pope Leo XIII, a champion of workers’ rights, fair wages, and unions. A powerful nod to dignity in work and justice for all. What a historic day for working people everywhere — and for America!

Robert Prevost of the United States is named Pope Leo XIV

Robert Prevost of the U.S. is the new Catholic pontiff, taking the name Pope Leo XIV. The Chicago-born cardinal ministered in Peru and was a member of the Augustinian order.

Happy Jewish American Heritage Month! Throughout the month of May we celebrate the Jewish community across America and honor their traditions and culture that enrich our nation.

Researchers in #IL13 are at the forefront of biomanufacturing innovation. I’m proud to partner with Rep. Zach Nunn on the bipartisan Ag BIO Act to support their groundbreaking work, strengthen the bioeconomy, and create new opportunities for farmers across the Midwest.

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

With House Republicans pushing the largest cuts to Medicaid and food assistance in American history, I’m proud to join @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social’s discharge petition to force a vote to protect these programs. We’re going to use every tool we have to prevent these cruel cuts.

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

Cutting SNAP isn’t just a hit to the most vulnerable in our society—it’s a hit to the heart of our rural economies. It's a blow to grocery stores, to truck drivers, to farmers and to everyone who is a part of this food system.
