Just heard from a constituent in Albuquerque who paid nearly $60 just to fill up his tank. Families are already stretched thin, and President Trump’s war is making things even worse at the gas pump.
DHS is facing a real crisis of accountability. Even the Republican Chairman warned Senator Mullin would set “a terrible example” for ICE and Border Patrol agents. I’m fighting to protect our rights, keep our communities safe, and hold this administration accountable. I will vote NO on Sen. Mullin.
Seriously? The Trump admin just admitted they know extending this illegal war will drive up costs and hurt hardworking families trying to make ends meet, and still said that’s “the last of their concerns.” Their actions have made it clear: helping American families isn’t their priority.
Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."
Yesterday, I met with the NM Farm and Livestock Bureau to talk about how Congress can better support our farmers and ranchers. Farming is at the heart of New Mexico, and our farmers and ranchers are essential to our communities. I will always fight to make sure they have the support they need.
This week, I met with Mescalero Apache Telecom and the National Tribal Telecommunications Association to discuss how we can modernize the USF to ensure it effectively serves Tribes in New Mexico and across the country. Thank you for working every day to expand broadband access in Tribal communities.
Our state has a strong tradition of service to this country. I was blessed to welcome some of New Mexico's VFW members to my office today. Congress must make sure our veterans and their families get the care and support they deserve.
New Mexico Highlands University was represented in our nation’s capital today! I’m proud to see my alma mater leading the way for students back home and expanding opportunities across our state. I look forward to continuing our work together to build on that progress for all New Mexicans.
As health care costs continue to skyrocket across our country, Amador Health Center in Las Cruces is committed to delivering high-quality care to New Mexicans. I helped secure $516,000 for Amador Health Clinic to strengthen care for families in Doña Ana County and keep health services close to home.
I was proud to deliver $862,000 for CNM to help create a quantum science lab and launch a new quantum training program to meet the rapidly growing workforce demands in New Mexico. CNM’s Quantum Technician Training Program will prepare homegrown talent for quality, good-paying jobs.
Brendan Carr has turned the FCC into President Trump's censorship machine, weaponizing it to target and silence his political opponents. The biggest mistake was appointing Carr in the first place.
It was an honor to meet with the NM chapter of Special Olympics in my office today. Their work supporting NMs with intellectual and developmental disabilities is critical, and it was inspiring to hear directly from athletes, families, and staff about the impact they are making across our state.
The only ad you needed to see last night. Survivors deserve justice, and the American people deserve the truth. AG Bondi & President Trump, stop hiding, comply with the law, and release the files.
Today, Senate Democrats forced action to see whether Senate Republicans would enforce the law and ensure transparency and justice for victims. Senate Republicans shamefully blocked it. The American people deserve the truth, and victims deserve justice. (2/2)
