Secretary Hegseth and Secretary Rubio came to the Hill this week to brief all 100 Senators on the boat strike in the Caribbean. We didn’t learn anything new, just the continued cover-up. Congress has made its position clear – release the 2nd strike video.
Hegseth is not fit to hold his position.

Corruption.
🚨Update: No response from President Trump’s Department of Justice on releasing the Epstein Files.
An independent watchdog found that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared sensitive war plans on Signal, recklessly endangering our brave troops. Secretary Hegseth should take responsibility for his actions – and a growing list of scandals – and resign. Our men and women in uniform deserve better.
Earlier this year, my bill, the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act was signed into law, allowing New Mexican radiation victims and uranium workers to seek compensation.
Find out if you are eligible for compensation from RECA, so you can receive the justice you deserve. Learn more here:
Today, @heinrich.senate.gov, @fernandez.house.gov, @repstansbury.bsky.social, @repgabevasquez.bsky.social, and I demanded immediate action from HHS Sec. Kennedy after funding interruptions and the shutdown forced Head Start programs to close or cut services nationwide. Our children deserve better.
The president is confused.
Trump: "For generations Miami has been a haven for those fleeing communist tyranny in South Africa. I mean, if you take a look at what's going on in parts of South Africa. Look at South Africa, what's going on. Look at South America, what's going on. You know, we have a G20 meeting in South Africa."
New Mexicans are hurting because Republicans are taking money out of hardworking families’ pockets while refusing to protect affordable health care.
This week, I hosted a telephone town hall to hear directly from thousands of New Mexicans about the Republican shutdown. I always appreciate the chance to connect – whether it’s in person or over the phone – and to hear directly from you.
PNM and NM Gas Co. are offering payment assistance to New Mexicans impacted by the Republican Shutdown. If you are a federal employee, contact your provider for help.
The FCC has no business targeting independent media companies.
Protect the First Amendment. Follow the law.
To my Republican colleagues: It’s time to step up for the American people and prevent millions of our constituents from seeing their health insurance premiums skyrocket.
President Trump and Congressional Republicans chose to shut down the federal government. This crisis was avoidable.
Now, President Trump is saying “a lot of good can come from shutdowns” – while admitting he’ll use this one to inflict as much pain as possible on the American people.
Republicans want to shut down the government.
Democrats are fighting back to make health care affordable.
Confront the lies.

“If it has to shut down, it’ll have to shut down.” - Donald Trump.
This shutdown crisis is 100% of Republicans’ making. They’re holding affordable health care hostage and using federal workers as political pawns to push their reckless agenda. @democrats.senate.gov are fighting to keep families covered and avoid another Trump shutdown.
Republicans control the White House, House, and Senate. Instead of governing responsibly, they’re driving us into another Trump shutdown. @democrats.senate.gov are fighting to keep the government open and protect Americans’ health care.
In President Trump’s own words:
The most corrupt administration in U.S. history.
L’Shana Tova to all celebrating in New Mexico! 🍎🍯
