Nikki Budzinski, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Illinois' 13th district since 2023, has been vocal on various issues affecting her constituents and the nation. Her recent tweets highlight her stance on legislative matters and public health concerns.

On March 12, 2025, Budzinski expressed her disapproval of the Continuing Resolution (CR), stating "The CR is a bad deal for Illinois’ 13th district." She provided further insights into her reasoning through an attached link.

Later that day, she criticized actions taken by the Trump Administration regarding public health. At 13:50 UTC, she tweeted about unintended consequences in disease control staffing: "Instead of taking action to combat the bird flu and bring down prices, the Trump Admin accidentally fired disease control experts at the FDA and CDC." She directed followers to her op-ed in Fox News for more detailed analysis.

At 15:33 UTC on the same day, Budzinski shared her commitment to supporting American manufacturing. She stated "I’m fighting in Congress to ensure our men and women in uniform have high-quality footwear made right here in the U.S. – like at the Belleville Boot Company!"
