President Trump’s address tonight was more of the same: chaos, corruption, and increased costs. The President doubled down on increasing costs for American families while promoting Elon Musk’s efforts to take a wrecking ball to the federal government that serves New Mexicans and the American people.
Prices are going up and President Trump is doing nothing to lower costs for hardworking Americans.
His reckless Trade War will make things even more expensive for New Mexicans on groceries, electronics, and so much more that we depend on. Our families and businesses will pay the price.
President Trump is abandoning Ukraine and emboldening Vladimir Putin. The president’s embrace of Russia is dangerous and undermines our alliances around the world. It’s shameful.
Senate Republicans just confirmed a Secretary of Education tasked with dismantling the Department of Education piece by piece.
At a time when students, teachers, and parents need support more than ever, Senate Republicans just voted to abandon them.
The Republican Budget gives billionaires a handout by taking it away from working Americans – all while prices are going up.
1,104 days later, I still stand with Ukraine.
Share if you stand against oppression.
This is just the beginning. The Musk-Trump mass firings are hurting the economy, making it harder for families to make ends meet and undermining critical services. More chaos.
Shameful, embarrassing, and dangerous. Trump and Vance are doing Putin’s bidding right before our eyes.
I’m fighting to ban the slaughter of horses for human consumption in the United States. We don’t raise horses for food – this practice must end now.
Why isn’t the CDC website being updated regularly? There are now 200+ measles cases.
This is unacceptable given the public health risk of this highly contagious and dangerous disease. Americans deserve the truth about the measles outbreak.
The Hatch Act prevents public officials from using their positions for political gain. With the Musk-Trump chaos, we must ensure accountability and uphold the rule of law. That’s why I’ve reintroduced my legislation with Congressman Robert Garcia to strengthen Hatch Act enforcement.
Our seniors are being abandoned.
The mass firings over the last few weeks are just the beginning. Elon Musk and the Trump administration are gearing up to indiscriminately fire hardworking Americans on an even larger scale. This will have devastating consequences.
Elon Musk is gutting critical programs and endangering American safety – all to pocket billions for his companies.
Republicans want to gut nutrition programs for children and families to line the pockets of their rich friends and donors.
House Republicans just set the stage to slash Medicaid for millions of Americans to pay for the Trump Tax Scam.
They promised they wouldn’t touch it and now they’re backtracking to take away health care from moms, babies, and seniors. Don’t be silent on this — make yourself heard.
We must invest in advanced technologies to ensure law enforcement have the tools to strengthen border security, combat the fentanyl crisis, and save lives.
I joined my colleagues in sending a letter to USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins demanding answers on recent USDA firings. These layoffs threaten USDA’s ability to address avian flu, process farm loans, and disaster relief, and distribute grants for rural infrastructure & services. This is unacceptable.
New Mexico Chile President is in the U.S. Senate!
Introducing Mr. Ben Etcheverry, a community leader, agricultural expert, and advocate from Deming, NM, in the Senate Ag Committee was a privilege. I will always bring more New Mexican voices to the table to help make better policy for our state.
