The year was 1947. My dad was 16. And some group of jackasses were trying to sell off our public land.
This fight is not new, but this is our turn. Failure is not an option.

Turkeys were brined and smoked, bread was broken, wild mushroom gravy was spilled. My woodpile was replenished and I caught up with friends and family. Now, last years’ goose breasts are slowly becoming pastrami. With all the craziness in DC, I’m not sure that I could ask for a better Thanksgiving!
Small Business Saturday would be a great day for Trump to repeal his reckless tariffs that are crushing small businesses in New Mexico and across the country.
Let’s talk turkey: Your Thanksgiving dinner costs more this year than last year. Almost everything costs more this year than last year thanks to Trumpflation–resulting in an average household income loss of $1,700 for 2025.
I fought hard for these incentives. So remember, small acts of resistance are deeply meaningful. If you want to electrify your home, act now before these credits go away. Your health, your wallet, and New Mexico’s economy will thank you.
Mr. Secretary, you seem confused. Mark Kelly was defending the Constitution. That’s leadership and you should try it.
This is an insurrection…
Trump and Republicans have thrown millions of Americans off their health care and laid off thousands of federal workers. All while costs skyrocket and working families struggle to put food on the table. I’ll keep fighting to lower costs and protect New Mexico's federal workers.
Through Hunters Helping the Hungry, hunters can donate wild game meat to neighbors in need. I commend NMDGF, Roadrunner, Food Depot, Honest Processing, and Padilla’s Meat Cutting and Processing for thinking outside the box and finding a way to help.
Earlier this week I met with IBEW Local Union 611 leaders to discuss permitting reform to open new clean energy projects that create good-paying union jobs.
I'm grateful for their partnership and will continue fighting for policies that support New Mexico’s workforce.
Chaco Canyon is one of the most important living cultural landscapes on the planet and we have long called for its permanent protection. It's not about the past–it’s about the generations to come. I’ll continue to fight for it because it is a place worth protecting.
Red chile lamb enchiladas at IPCC restaurant.
This isn’t going to go away. It’s not about party politics, it’s about affordability. People should be able to afford their health care.
This is a test of whether Congress works for hardworking Americans or for DC insiders.

Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging.
Here’s my response:

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.
The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.
Don’t give up the ship.
Public lands belong to all of us and that means we deserve a chance to provide input on how they're managed.
Reposted bySenator Martin Heinrich
For decades, Republicans have been slow walking progress on clean energy. That isn’t free. Home insurance premiums are through the roof because of their inaction.
Instead of investigating child exploitation cases and stopping human trafficking, Trump is pulling federal agents to focus on deporting farm workers and grandmothers. It’s making us less safe.
At the 11th hour, an Easter egg was tucked into the government funding bill that virtually guarantees that eight senators will get millions in taxpayer dollars. I think that’s outrageous.
Reposted bySenator Martin Heinrich
The revenue generated by public lands is comparable to hosting 8 Super Bowls per month. They’re more than just places to recreate–they boost our national and local economies and support almost a million jobs. Cutting resources hurts more than recreationists, it hurts communities.
