I stand in solidarity with the UFCW and @rwdsu.bsky.social workers at REI who are fighting for a fair contract. ✊ I'm leading a letter with @repdangoldman.bsky.social and @laborcaucus.bsky.social calling on REI to stop dragging their hiking boots and bargain in good faith.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember and honor the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust and the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution. We must continue to confront antisemitism and hate wherever it appears.

President Trump has placed the U.S. alongside Iran, Libya, and Yemen as the only nations not in the Paris Climate Accords. America should be leading the charge on a clean energy transition, not standing on the sidelines.

With the new Congress underway, passing a bipartisan Farm Bill is top of my mind. As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, I'm going to keep pushing for the policies that Illinois family farmers need in this critical legislation.

12 years ago today, the Defense Department lifted the ban on women in combat. Let's celebrate the female service members who have served our country with honor, courage and dedication.

This judge made the right decision. Birthright citizenship is a constitutional cornerstone. Rejecting this fundamental principle only takes us backwards, not forwards.

The consolidation of industries like grocery chains, steelmaking and pharmacies is driving up prices by reducing competition. I'm ready to hold corporations accountable and lower prices for working families.

I’m deeply concerned about the impact this closure will have on my constituents. Planned Parenthood provides essential healthcare—far beyond abortion care—to countless women. We must ensure they have the resources to continue supporting women in these uncertain times.

Decatur Planned Parenthood center closing amidst statewide restructurings

DECATUR, Ill. (WCIA) — Planned Parenthood of Illinois (PPIL) is experiencing a financial shortfall, and one casualty of that is its Decatur center. PPIL is closing the Decatur facility and th…

For decades, folks in St. Clair and Madison County have faced serious health problems because of uranium production at the Dow Chemical Company. It's time to reauthorize RECA and expand eligibility to ensure these communities have the federal assistance they need and deserve.

The Trump administration just took down a government website with information about prenatal care, cancer screenings, birth control and other reproductive health care. Making it more difficult to access these services puts lives at risk. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

I'm honored to serve as Ranking Member of the Veterans Affairs Committee Subcommittee on Technology Modernization for the 119th Congress! I'm excited for the opportunity to lead on cybersecurity, data privacy and tech innovation policies to help improve VA services for our vets.

52 years ago, the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade established the right to abortion nationwide. On today’s anniversary, I am more determined than ever to restore, protect and expand reproductive freedom for all women.

15 years ago, the Supreme Court's disastrous Citizens United decision paved the way for unelected billionaires like Elon Musk to buy access, influence and favorable policy decisions at the expense of everyday Americans. It's time to #EndCitizensUnited.

Every day, Americans worry about whether they will be able to afford the medications they need. Last night, President Trump signed an executive order to make those medications even more expensive.

56 years ago, Shirley Chisholm was sworn in as the first Black woman to serve in Congress. Today, let's celebrate her legacy as a trailblazer - never afraid to defy the odds and stand up for equality and justice.

If we want to convince voters of our vision, Democrats must do more than show up. We must listen, engage and reconnect with the concerns of working people, like those I represent in Illinois’ 13th District. https://buff.ly/4g9WHAe

US Rep. Nikki Budzinski: If Democrats want to win again, let’s show up and listen

Democrats must accept that if Donald Trump won decisively, there may be some lessons we can learn.

Today, I will attend the inauguration and continue my work on behalf of Central and Southern Illinoisans. My commitment to our communities will always come first—regardless of who occupies the White House.

Today, we honor the extraordinary legacy of Cecile Richards. Her advocacy gave women the power to control their healthcare and shape their futures. My thoughts are with her family and loved ones as they mourn her loss.

Martin Luther King Jr. dedicated his life to fighting against racism and standing up for justice, equality and opportunity for all. This #MLKDay, let's remember that the Reverend Dr. King’s work is not finished and come together in the pursuit of his dream.
