I teamed up with the second graders at Hazel Dell Elementary to spread joy, love and gratitude to the heroes in our community. You can join us by making Valentine's Day cards for #IL13 veterans, military members and first responders! Learn more at: https://buff.ly/4ghZTKd

Happy Black History Month! This month, we celebrate the countless contributions Black Americans have made to our country, culture and democracy – including many inspiring Black leaders from Central and Southern Illinois. Black history *is* American history.

School choice diverts your tax dollars away from your kid's public school. Proper funding for our public schools means better outcomes for students -- and that isn't something I'm willing to put at risk. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Trump signs sweeping executive order to expand school choice

The White House also announced that Trump signed an executive order aimed at “ending radical indoctrination in K-12 schooling.”

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govJan 31(source)

Federal funding is essential – it prevents kids from going hungry, helps families afford housing, aids communities recovering from natural disasters and much more. I plan to make sure our communities see these critical dollars.

I enjoyed touring SIUE’s National Corn-to-Ethanol Research Center today, where I got to learn about their work to develop new biotechnologies – including the first hand sanitizer made from corn-based ethanol!

I am praying for the loved ones of the 64 American Airlines passengers and crew, and the three Army soldiers who lost their lives in last night’s horrific crash in DC. Thank you to the first responders who continuing to work the scene of this terrible tragedy.

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

This is a big win and we're going to make sure it's delivered to this community. Unlike what the Trump Administration may think, disaster aid isn't reckless spending. Any attempt to rescind this funding would be illegal.

$89.5 million in flood relief moves forward in St. Clair County after Trump stops freeze

Whether the money would actually make it to St. Clair County came into question when President Donald Trump ordered a freeze on federal aid. However, the White House rescinded the order Wednesday.

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

I’m heartbroken following the updates about the airline crash in DC. My thoughts are with those on board and their families, anxiously awaiting answers. Thank you to our first responders on the ground.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govJan 29(source)

I was thrilled to help St. Clair County secure $89.5 million in disaster relief as our communities continue to recover from the devastating storms last summer. I will keep fighting back against the Trump Administration’s efforts to slash critical federal funding like this aid.

I had the best time with second graders at Hazel Dell Elementary making Valentines’ Day cards for #IL13 veterans, military members and first responders! Our heroes deserve to know how much we appreciate them. Visit budzinski.house.gov/valentines-for-heroes to learn how you can participate!

My casework team helped Salt & Light Ministries in Urbana recover more than $650,000 that they were owed from the IRS. It was great to visit Salt & Light this week to learn how this money will support their work helping families in need!

Happy Lunar New Year to everyone celebrating in Central and Southern Illinois and around the world!

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

Growing up, I saw how a union allowed my grandparents to build a bright future for our family. By attacking the NLRB, Trump is making it easier for corporations to union-bust, stall collective bargaining and undermine labor rights at the expense of working families like mine.

Labor Caucus Co-Chairs call on President Trump to immediately reinstate Member Wilcox. If he refuses to do so, we are committed to utilizing all available tools to investigate and overturn this unprecedented action. Read our full statement:

In just one week, Trump has gone after our federal workforce & paused federal funding that could impact healthcare, school lunches and countless projects in our district. If you live in IL13 and have been impacted by these orders, I want to hear your story.

That’s why I’ve joined a letter to the new OMB director demanding clarity and a detailed list of projects being paused. I’m also in touch with local governments in the district to see what outreach they have received since this announcement. We need answers.

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

Projects such as the Springfield Rail Improvement Project, Florida Avenue reconstruction in Urbana, and the Bradley Avenue grade separation in Champaign were all set to receive funding. Now, we're left with more questions than answers.

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

We need to know how this will affect SNAP benefits, Pell Grants, Medicaid payments to states, health care providers and local projects.

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

Trump’s freeze on federal funding is reckless and threatens vital resources that local governments, schools, and working families—especially in my district—rely on.

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

Here are my thoughts on the Trump Administration’s order to freeze grant funding for American communities 🧵
