You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ. We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights. Help us win this fight by chipping in at katforillinois.com/legal

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence. This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less. Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

I voted a day early since I finished my workday ahead of schedule. I also went to a Trans Day of Visibility event and met some very friendly and beautiful people. Please vote if you haven’t already. #ally #vote #election

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

10 Democrats Vote to Censure Al Green After Trump Protest newrepublic.com/post/192418/... via @newrepublic.com

Trump has no mandate! “Trump and his minions have taken the claim to outlandish extremes, as if winning an election can empower a president to defy democratic norms, federal law, and the Constitution itself.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Despite the event being moved to a different location because of a scheduling conflict, and then it being canceled for bad weather, some brave souls came out and encouraged cars driving by to honk in support. #50501Illinois #50501protest #50501rally #springfieldIL #illinois #march4th

I hopped back on FB again after more than a month of staying away. I put Ukraine colors on my profile pic. Several people then posted a link to some idiotic drivel likening Trump to a master chess player playing 10 steps ahead of Zelensky. They live in an entirely different reality. Ridiculous!!!

#EconomicBoycott People have the power!

Enjoying my move from FB to Bluesky. 💙

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #FiftyFiftyOne #March4thForDemocracy #ImpeachTrump #NoKings #PoliticalRevolution #BuildTheResistance #EconomicBlackout @polrev.bsky.social

Do you have concerns about Donald Trump's executive actions and Elon Musk's illegal power grab? Me too. Join me for a telephone town hall tomorrow night at 5pm CT to learn more about how I'm pushing back to protect Central and Southern Illinois.

Yet another plane collision. This is not a coincidence. I can understand trying to eliminate government waste, but this method is insanity.

Find out what Congress is doing to push back against #Musk and #Trump. #illinois #nikkibudzinski

On Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

I've heard from so many people in Central and Southern Illinois who are concerned about Elon Musk's power grab. I'm hosting a telephone town hall next Tuesday from 5-6pm CT to answer your questions and check in about my work to push back. Dial 855-531-1091 to join.

It’s a relief to find out my Congressperson is fighting for my rights. #stopelon #elonmusk #trump

I probably wasn’t going to watch the Super Bowl anyway. Does it still count towards boycotting it? #boycottsuperbowl #endracism #fuckdonaldtrump
