Trump's illegal war is emptying the bank accounts of Americans and is now impacting their ability to travel. Whether it’s for vacation or in times of an emergency, Americans should always have the ability to get where they need to go at affordable prices.
Americans did not vote for this disaster.

I am heartbroken for my friend and colleague, Senator Warner, and the loss of his daughter, Madison. I am praying for him, Lisa, and their entire family as they face this profound loss.
Kash Patel was never fit to lead the men and women of the FBI. He’s abused his power for personal gain while using the agency to do Donald Trump’s bidding. He should step down immediately.
The Netanyahu government has repeatedly rejected paths to peace and continues to deepen humanitarian suffering. The U.S. must use its leverage to demand change.
I support ending the fighting, surging humanitarian aid, and ensuring safety and prosperity for Israelis and Palestinians. (2/2)
I voted with Senator Sanders to block hundreds of millions in additional weapons to the Netanyahu government. It will only enable destruction, undermine a two-state solution, and escalate the illegal war with Iran. (1/2)
Trump’s illegal war has cost American lives and sent gas prices soaring. Meanwhile, Republicans were nowhere to be found – and they were unwilling to stand up to him.
@democrats.senate.gov forced accountability and demanded action from Republicans to tell Trump: enough is enough. The American people do not support this war, and they’re paying the price for it every day.
BLM plans to release a Draft Environmental Assessment in the coming months, followed by just 14 days for public input.
14 days to save a 1,000+ year old heritage site? Follow for more updates and when the public comment period will start. Let’s keep fighting to protect Chaco.
Trump’s Bureau of Land Management is once again trying to fast-track decisions that impact Chaco Canyon, a 1,000+ year-old sacred cultural and historical site, with an outrageously short public comment period. They think we aren’t paying attention.
It was great to have AG Raúl Torrez in the office today. We spoke about the issues that are top of mind for NMs – out-of-state legal firms who prey on NMs for financial gain, kids’ online safety, and justice for wildfire victims. We will never stop fighting to make things better for our state.
Trump is spending ONE BILLION dollars a day on a war that’s driving up the cost of gas, food, and electricity. He lied about bringing down prices on day one.
New Mexico Wild was in my office last week to talk about protecting the Gila River – one of our state’s most treasured landscapes. I’m fighting to protect our lands, safeguard our rivers, and make sure New Mexico’s natural heritage is preserved for generations to come.
Eid Mubarak 🌙✨ Wishing you joy, peace, and celebration with loved ones!
President Trump wants to rig the election. I'm fighting back.
Read my piece in the Santa Fe New Mexican:

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.
Electric bills are skyrocketing, and families are paying the price. President Trump’s policies and his war with Iran are driving up costs, and when asked about it, he said, “If prices rise, they rise.” He’s putting Americans last and making them pay the price.
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.
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.
