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.

President Trump gets $4 BILLION richer.

Families are $1,000 poorer.

The math isn’t adding up. Who is this economy really working for?

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.

Trump removes racist video depicting the Obamas as apes The White House initially defended Trump's post, saying it was "from an internet meme video." But after backlash — including from Republicans — it was removed.

Racist bullshit from the President of the United States. This is disgusting.

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)

Last year, my Epstein Files Transparency Act became law, requiring the Trump administration to release ALL of the Epstein files. They have continued to break the law by releasing ONLY A FRACTION of the files. (1/2)

Not another dollar for DHS and ICE without real accountability.

The brutality and chaos caused by President Trump’s masked, poorly-trained, violent ICE agents needs to stop immediately.

Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller need to go.

Rosa Parks was born 113 years ago today. Her simple act of bravery sparked a movement for justice.

Rosa Parks is a powerful reminder that change takes courage. Today, we honor her legacy.

New website accepting applications for radiation exposure claims Tina Cordova of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium said it will make the process much easier.

New Mexicans who have suffered from radiation exposure have waited far too long for justice. I was proud to help expand RECA so New Mexicans can receive the compensation they deserve.

This new online tool will make it easier for New Mexicans to apply and receive compensation. Apply today.

support a funding package that does not include accountability and meaningful reforms to end this violence. Although ongoing bipartisan negotiations to reform ICE and protect our communities are a step in the right direction, these critical reforms must be enshrined in the law to earn my support.

Under the Trump administration, our nation has witnessed federal immigration agents kill two American citizens in Minneapolis while the administration has responded with outright lies and escalation. With ICE operating out of control under Secretary Noem and Stephen Miller, I cannot (cont.)

This administration is using its power to punish political opponents instead of helping the American people.

The Trump administration arrested journalists for exercising their First Amendment rights. The FBI raided a GA election office as part of a baseless conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. And the White House is targeting states that did not vote for this president by cutting off critical funding.

A teddy bear, an ice skate, a wife’s note: DCA crash relics return home A year after the deadly plane crash, first responders and families reflect on the moments after disaster, the grueling recovery effort and the toll it took.

On the one-year anniversary of the DCA crash, I’m praying for the families and loved ones of the 67 people we lost. We must honor their memory by doing everything possible to prevent this from ever happening again.

I voted NO on advancing the funding package before the Senate. There must be real accountability at the Department of Homeland Security. Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller need to go.

DHS and ICE must be reined in.

Stephen Miller is the architect of some of the worst and most dangerous of the Trump administration's policies. This includes the chaos in Minnesota. I called for his firing years ago, but he continues to serve in this White House. When will enough be enough? He should be fired.

House Democrats to investigate Kristi Noem with eye on impeachment push Unlike a typical congressional impeachment inquiry, Democrats plan to conduct their investigation without Republicans.

No one is above the law or accountability. Secretary Noem should resign or be fired, but President Trump continues to stand by even his most dangerous admin officials.

The House is right to move forward with an investigation into Secretary Noem. Americans deserve accountability and transparency.

In Battle for Evidence, Minnesota Sues Feds Over Fatal Border Patrol Shooting Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is concerned the federal government may “withhold” information about the death of ICU nurse Alex Pretti.

We saw with our own eyes a U.S. citizen killed by Trump’s federal agents. Yet this admin continues to spread lies.
 
What must happen now: a full and independent investigation; Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller must resign or be fired; and not another dollar for Noem’s DHS without real accountability.

President Trump, Kristi Noem, and Stephen Miller are making our communities and all Americans less safe. Enough is enough.

Kristi Noem and Donald Trump’s ICE is out of control and terrorizing our communities. With multiple deadly shootings of American citizens by federal agents in Minnesota & no accountability, I will not support an appropriations bill that funds DHS without real oversight, transparency, & consequences.
