Tonight, our hearts are with the family and loved ones of those lost in the crash from Wichita to D.C. Thank you to all of the first responders on the scene. ❤️🙏

This is an absolute betrayal of our Service Members and everyone who proudly serves.

Pentagon agency pauses celebrations for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Black History Month and more

The action, outlined in a new memo this week, appears to be isolated to the Defense Intelligence Agency and not the full Defense Department.

The White House is trying to claim the federal funding freeze that sent millions of Americans into chaos yesterday is a “hoax.” Firefighters, police, state, local and tribal governments… Dude, we have the receipts. And, it’s your own memo. We will not be gaslit.

Donald Trump calls his Admin the “New Golden Age," but let's call it what it is: “The Great Betrayal.” He promised he would address the cost of living and issues affecting Americans. But in just seven days, he's disrupted every aspect of American life. He is chaos.

I am so happy to be home! I’ll be spending time in our communities, talking to all of you, giving remarks to the State Legislature, and of course, eating all the chile! Here’s some updates since I’ve been back in NM-01:

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)@repstansbury.bsky.socialJan 27(source)

DOGE Dems are ready to work on behalf of the American people. But we have to face the reality that over the last 6 days Trump has attacked federal employees, fired inspector generals, and made efforts to eviscerate the federal workforce. That’s why we’re ready to fight back.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)@repstansbury.bsky.socialJan 25(source)

In a late night purge, Trump fired over a dozen Inspector Generals, illegally removing non-partisan watchdogs who ensure our agencies remain accountable to the American people. This is not about government efficiency. We will hold him accountable.

Trump Fires at Least 12 Inspectors General in Late-Night Purge

The White House defied a law that requires giving Congress 30 days’ notice and detailed reasons before removing the watchdog officials.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)@repstansbury.bsky.socialJan 25(source)

After Trump unilaterally renamed Mt. Denali without any Tribal Consultation—I introduced an amendment in HNRC alongside @fernandez.house.gov & @rephuffman.bsky.social to require Tribal Consultation in the Committee’s rules. Unfortunately, our GOP colleagues VOTED NO.

Republicans forced to defend record on Indian issues at start of new Congress

With their party now in control of the U.S. Congress, Republicans are defending their record on Indian issues after Democrats sought changes to the rules on a key legislative committee.

As Trump removed the U.S. from international climate agreements this week and unleashed a slew of anti-climate and clean energy executive orders—we’re ready to fight back and protect our air, lands, and waters!

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)@repstansbury.bsky.socialJan 24(source)

Education is a human right. Every single person deserves access to education and the tools they need to thrive. Now more than ever, it is critical we ensure everyone has access to education and information. Our democracy depends on it. #InternationalDayofEducation

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)@repstansbury.bsky.socialJan 24(source)

12 years ago, the U.S. lifted the ban on women in combat roles in the military. Trump's DOD nominee, Pete Hegseth, wants to reverse that decision. Women deserve leaders that will fight for them, not hold them back.

Regardless of your immigration status in the U.S., you have guaranteed rights under the Constitution. Know your rights and assert them. Independientemente de su estatus migratorio en los Estados Unidos, usted tiene derechos garantizados por la Constitución. Conozca sus derechos y hágalos valer.

If You Interact with ICE Agents at Work: Ask if you are free to leave. If so, you may calmly walk out. You have the right to refuse consent to a search. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone, such as about where you were born, whether you are a citizen, or how you entered the country. If you have valid immigration documents, you should show them. Never provide fake documents. If you are arrested, say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere.

If ICE Agents Show Up at Your Door
You do not have to open the door. If you do, stay calm – you have rights.
Ask what they are there for (and ask for an interpreter if you need one).
If they ask to enter, ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge and if so, ask to see it (through a window or slipped under the door).
If they do not have a warrant signed by a judge, you may refuse to let them in. Ask them to leave any information at your door.
If they force their way in, do not resist. Tell everyone in the residence to remain silent. If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent. Do not sign anything until you speak with a lawyer.

Si Agentes del ICE Llegan a Tu Lugar de Trabajo
Pregunte si puedes marcharse. De ser así, salga tranquilamente.
Tú tienes derecho a no prestar consentimiento a una búsqueda. Diga en voz alta que no consientes a que registren tus pertenencias.
Tú tienes derecho a guardar silencio. No tienes que discutir tu estatus migratorio con nadie, ni dónde naciste, ni si eres ciudadano, ni cómo entraste al país.
Si tienes documentos de inmigración válidos, deberías mostrarlos. Nunca presente documentos falsos.
Si eres arrestado, diga que quieres permanecer en silencio hasta que hables con un abogado.
Tú tienes el derecho a grabar su interacción con los agentes de inmigración, siempre y cuando no interfiera.

Si Agentes del ICE Llegan a Tu Puerta
No abras la puerta, pero mantén la calma. Tú tienes derechos.
Pregunta para qué están ahí (y solicita un intérprete si necesitas uno).
Si piden entrar a tu casa, pregúntales si tienen una orden firmada por un juez y si la tienen, diles que te la muestren (por la ventana o que la pasen por debajo de la puerta).
Si ellos no tienen una orden firmada por un juez, puedes negarte dejarlos entrar. Pídeles que dejen cualquier información en tu puerta.
Si entran a la fuerza, no te resistas. Dile a todos que estén en la casa que permanezcan en silencio.
Si eres arrestado, permanece en silencio y no firmes nada hasta que hables con un abogado.

What to know about DOGE: Trump & the GOP plan to go after the Federal Workforce and already have. What we also know about DOGE: We *will* fight back to protect the programs, services, and people that keep our communities and economy going!

It's 2025 - NO ONE should be without access to water. And yet, thousands of members of the Navajo Nation don't have running water in their homes. It’s time to address the vast and urgent water needs of Tribal communities.

Women belong in leadership! Only 150 women are in the House right now. Women make up half the country’s population. EQUAL REPRESENTATION NOW!
