Donald Trump is trying to sell off the Chama and Carson National Forests to the highest bidder for uranium mining. New Mexicans have had ENOUGH of the federal government turning our public lands into toxic, hazardous sites that threaten families, livestock, and clean water.

That’s why I introduced legislation to require cable, DBS, internet, and telephone providers to issue refunds for the time customers are left without the services they rely on every day. (2/2)
It wasn’t so long ago that a nationwide outage at a major network provider threw millions of Americans into chaos and uncertainty. That should never happen, and when it does, customers deserve compensation. (1/2)
Congress must pass the Stop Presidential Embezzlement Act and put an end to this corruption and abuse of power.
Donald Trump suing the IRS for $10 billion is just the latest example of him using the presidency to enrich himself and his family. This is a man who went years without paying federal income taxes, yet now wants billions more while hardworking Americans struggle to make ends meet.
Enough of the chaos. Enough of the lies. Enough of dragging America toward an illegal war that the American people never asked for.
I’ve been against Trump’s war in Iran since day one. Just now, I voted AGAIN to put an end to it. Republicans just blocked it for the SEVENTH time.
This is a coordinated effort to dilute Black voting power and help Republicans avoid accountability at the ballot box. They know their agenda is deeply unpopular, so they’re trying to hold onto power by any means necessary.
Black voters across the South are being silenced. It’s just been two weeks since SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act, and we’re already seeing the damage unfold in Alabama, Louisiana, and Tennessee.
From the Chama Watershed in New Mexico to the Boundary Waters in Minnesota, we are seeing the same playbook.
ICYMI: I wrote to @WaPo on permitting reform. It shouldn’t come at the expense of our water and our communities.
The Trump administration showed exactly what this looks like – rolling back protections, ignoring local voices, and putting clean water at risk.
Gas prices are up over $4. Families are being squeezed across the board. And Republicans are only making it worse.
JUST IN: Congressional Republicans are pushing nearly $70 billion more for ICE and Border Patrol.
These agencies are sitting on over $100 billion in unspent funds. But instead of lowering costs for New Mexico families, Republicans are doubling down on Trump’s agenda and funding his ballroom.
This is what we knew would always happen – millions of Americans being forced off their health care plans because Republicans took away tax credits to give billionaires tax breaks.
Senate Republicans don’t care. This is what they voted for.
The Trump administration has failed to release the complete Epstein files as required by law. Instead, they ignored the law and released a partial, heavily redacted version. This audit is critical to justice for victims and answers for the American people.
But under this Supreme Court and Republicans in Congress, that promise is being undermined at every turn. I will continue fighting to protect, defend, and strengthen our democracy and ensure that every American can use their voice.
Today’s SCOTUS decision is an attack on equal representation, with devastating and far-reaching consequences that extend well beyond congressional maps. The Voting Rights Act is a fundamental promise of fair representation.
I reintroduced the PRICE Act to ensure that delivery apps show the true cost upfront. At a time when costs are sky-high thanks to President Trump’s policies, consumers deserve transparency on pricing and the ability to shop without hidden fees that drastically inflate their total costs.
Americans are being blindsided by hidden fees on delivery apps. For those who rely on delivery as their only option, these unexpected charges can blow their budgets. ⬇️
The American people deserve accountability, transparency, and a process they can trust. But under this Department of Justice, the Trump administration has failed to release the Epstein files as required by law. This audit is a necessary step toward transparency and justice.
Gas prices in New Mexico are up 35% since the start of Trump’s illegal war with Iran. That’s nearly $4 a gallon. Hardworking families did not ask for this war, and they certainly did not vote for fuel prices to skyrocket.
