One of my favorite traditions is delivering Valentine’s Day cards to our Veterans from elementary school kids here in Albuquerque!
Today, we stopped by Wherry Elementary to pick up cards and delivered them to the VA!
Happy Valentine’s Day! 💗

These are the agencies Elon Musk is actively gutting. Firing thousands—while he rakes in federal contracts and the GOP prepares a massive tax break for the ultra rich.
This is not government efficiency. This is a heist.
Labor is the backbone of our country. That’s why I sent a letter to Trump with 264 of my House and Senate colleagues urging he reinstate National Labor Relations Board Member Gwyne Wilcox after her illegal firing.
The NLRB ensures workers are treated fairly and employers don’t violate the law!
It’s been a LOT this week with the first DOGE Subcommittee in Oversight. ⬇️
But we’re excited to be headed home for the District Work Period—and to be taking the fight back home, celebrating Black History Month, meeting with community leaders, and doing all of the good work we do every day for NM!
Inflation is soaring. The GOP plans to raise the debt ceiling by $4 TRILLION.
The stock market is tanking. And Republicans are planning to give billionaires PERMANENT tax breaks.
What exactly is going on? Mr. Musk, you are duly invited to the Oversight Committee to explain what is going on.
Welcome to the DOGE billionaire gravy train.
But, really why *are* Elon Musk and his Silicon Valley buddies targeting Treasury payment systems?
We don’t know…because there is ZERO GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT on DOGE. House Republicans are still shielding Musk from accountability. We are fighting back!
Welcome to the first DOGE Oversight Subcommittee! As Ranking Member, I will fight for the American people and THEIR interests, not the interests of billionaire oligarchs.
Americans are scared about what’s happening right now—because This. Is. Not. Normal.
But where are my Republican colleagues? In closed-door meetings dismantling vital programs?
We are fighting back! We are taking it to the courts, taking it to Congress, and taking it to the streets!
Today is Women and Girls in Science Day, and as a woman in STEM myself, I know how important it is to have women in this field!
To all the other STEM girls out there: keep breaking those glass ceilings and making all the noise! We create our futures, and your futures look bright!
Last week, I introduced the STOPP Fentanyl Act, which would help disrupt criminal networks and traffickers bringing illicit drugs into this country.
In New Mexico, we know all too well the consequences of addiction for our families and communities. I won't stop until we end this crisis.
New Mexico: we have your backs in this fight against Trump and his billionaire friends.
But we need you to continue to make noise and share your stories. This fight is going to take all of us. ❤️
ICYMI: I introduced the Nobody Elected Elon Musk Act last Friday.
This bill would ensure that Elon Musk and DOGE Special Employees will be held accountable for their reckless and illegal actions. The American people should not be left to foot the bill.
Why are they breaking the law and testing the system?
Because they know the American people would reject this. And they can’t do it using a regular order process.
This is why we must fight back and continue to hold them accountable.
We highly recommend y’all crack open a copy of the U.S. Constitution before you break anymore laws…
Federal judge restricts Musk and DOGE access to Treasury payment and data systems, saying there is a risk of “irreparable harm.”
Thank a federal judge today!

At every level, government officials are doing everything they can to stop Trump and Elon Musk’s illegal actions.
Here is what you need to know:
Can someone remind me who elected Elon Musk to office? Oh, that’s right. NOBODY DID.
That’s why @raskin.house.gov and I introduced the Nobody Elected Elon Musk Act, which would ensure that Elon and DOGE Special Employees are held accountable for their reckless and illegal actions.
Americans are struggling to pay bills and put food on the table, but Trump is placing tariffs on Canadian goods and oil. Remind me how this is supposed to help lower costs?
That's why I signed a letter with my colleagues urging him to rescind these ridiculous tariffs.
Today we were denied entry to the EPA as hundreds have been threatened and put on leave. And as Elon Musk & DOGE have hacked their systems.
I have spent my life fighting for our land and water and will not stop.
We will take this fight to the courts, to Congress and the streets!
Fentanyl is ravaging our communities. While my colleagues across the aisle are giving Elon Musk unfettered access to fire Federal law-enforcement, ransack agencies, and shut down funding critical to combatting the fentanyl crisis – we’re fighting to stop them and save lives across our communities.
