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.
Despite what this administration is telling you, vaccines work. Lower vaccination rates have caused a measles outbreak in New Mexico.
I led a letter from the NM Delegation to Secretary Kennedy urging him to rehire fired CDC employees and launch a campaign to improve measles vaccination rates.
It was an honor to speak to a room full of public utility commissioners from around the country this morning. I was once a public regulator myself, so I know the importance of working across party lines to make things better and more affordable for all communities.
🚨 DELETED FROM WH.GOV
The administration just deleted information & resources from its website on the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women & violence against Indigenous women.
To the families of missing or murdered women: you will never be erased.

You make an excellent point.
President Trump’s attacks against public media and freedom of the press threaten New Mexicans’ access to local news, television, and radio. I wrote a letter to the FCC urging the Trump administration to immediately cease these attacks and respect the First Amendment.
Our scientists and researchers are many things: brilliant, intuitive, strong.
They’re also brave.
They’re standing up to Trump-Musk attacks and doing their jobs to protect critical research.
Musk’s slashing of the federal workforce is hurting New Mexicans and putting everyone's safety at risk.
Measles was eliminated decades ago thanks to safe and effective vaccinations. Sadly, it's making a comeback in our state and putting our children and communities at risk because of lower vaccination rates.
Vaccines work despite what the Trump administration is pushing.
It’s been three years since Russia brutally and illegally invaded Ukraine. President Trump is attacking President Zelensky and the people of Ukraine while embracing Vladimir Putin. It's completely un-American.
I stand with the people of Ukraine.
My Senate colleague and Army veteran, @reed.senate.gov, is correct — these firings are poised to throw our military into chaos.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: Fired
Chief of Naval Operations: Fired
Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force: Fired
Judge Advocates General for the Army, Navy, and Air Force: Fired.
When members of the Armed Forces answer the call to serve, their families — spouses, children, and loved ones — more than deserve our support. Instead, to be fired from their jobs, is shameful.
The GOP budget rips funding away from programs that feed seniors, veterans, and children, programs that provide babies and families with health care, and programs that keep folks warm in the winter.
Why?
To give tax breaks to his rich friends and donors in the Trump Tax Scam 2.0.
Kash Patel was just confirmed by Senate Republicans to follow through with President Trump’s agenda of revenge and retribution against his "enemies list." He has no business leading the very agency that he’s called to dismantle. I voted NO.
Egg prices are up.
The bird flu outbreak is spreading.
Musk and Trump fired the workers responsible for combating the outbreak.
Once again, President Trump is abandoning our allies and embracing our adversaries. His devotion to Putin and the dangerous rhetoric toward Ukraine only makes America less safe.
Elon Musk, keep your hands off Americans' Social Security.
