On March 6, 2025, she mentioned her discussion with @pfingstenshow about the President's address and potential impacts of tariffs on farmers. "I caught up with @pfingstenshow to recap the President’s address last night and how tariffs could hurt our farmers."

Later that day, Budzinski expressed gratitude for receiving the Margaret Blackshere Women in Leadership Award from @ILAFLCIO. She acknowledged Margaret Blackshere as an inspiration for women in labor movements and thanked her parents for accepting the award on her behalf as she could not attend personally.
