This week Republicans want to give ICE another $70 billion blank check after cutting food and housing for families—and communities abroad continue to suffer from war and humanitarian crises.
It's time for Congress to do its job, and uphold its constitutional responsibilities.

DOGE led to thousands of preventable deaths across the world—including children & families most in need.
This week, we released a House @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social report documenting the devastating consequences of the Trump Admin's dismantling of USAID. History will remember.

Happy Birthday @lujan.senate.gov! Every day is an adventure and joy serving the people of New Mexico alongside you! Grateful for your fearless, kind, strategic, tenacious, and always grounded service on behalf of the people of our state! Enjoy your special day! 🎉
THIS ⬇️ is why we have a free press. To all our journalists out there—and especially our women journalists (we see you!)—don’t stop asking the hard questions! 💅
We love our Veterans! 🇺🇸
It was such an honor to see our New Mexico Honor Flight Veterans in DC and for our Team to welcome them home in ABQ! To all our Veterans we thank you every day for your service and to all the volunteers, family members, & others who make the honor flight possible—thank you!
Donald Trump is trying to auction off nearly 700,000 acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling right now.
Whether it’s Chaco Canyon, Oak Flat, or the Arctic—we stand with Tribal Nations and our communities to protect these lands. These lands are not for sale! ✊
Their bravery changed the course of history and reminds us that democracy is never guaranteed—it must be protected and passed on to future generations.
Today, we remember those who gave everything in the fight for freedom. May we be worthy of their sacrifice. 🇺🇸

On this D-Day anniversary, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and extraordinary service of the troops who landed on the beaches of Normandy to defend freedom and democracy.

We flipped the script and interviewed journalist Katie Phang on her lawsuit against DOJ and Acting AG Todd Blanche. One thing is clear, DOJ is breaking the law.
Here is Katie to break down her suit, what real justice means, and how courageous women are leading in this case: youtu.be/C4HpJX2Owms?...
Happy World Environment Day!🌲💚
From the Rio Grande Valley to the top of the Sandias, New Mexico’s natural treasures are part of who we are—and we won’t stop fighting to protect them, our sacred sites, and all our lands and waters!
TGIF! And what a week it was:
-Trump’s slush funds
-The Epstein Truth Commission
-War Powers
-Election News
-Voting Rights
-Fighting for families and farmers
-Passage of Pueblo Cultural Center Bill for NM
…And so much more! Here’s what happened and what’s on tap for next week!
Um really? Are we comparing whose architectural feature is bigger now?
You didn’t even build the reflecting pool. All you did was break federal contracting laws to have it recoated on a no-bid contract. In a time when children are seeing food assistance cut off is this really what we’re focused on?
Um, no. No one should be able to obtain your private medical records without your consent. Period.
Here’s my question: How is it that Republicans can always find more money to give to their friends, illegal wars, & terrorizing our communities? But they can’t find money for programs to help YOU?
But every day we are fighting back! When this bill comes to the House next week, I am a HELL NO! (2/2)
‼️Last night, in the dark of night, the Senate GOP jammed through a $70 BILLION slush fund to fund ICE and CBP for the rest of this Administration. No guard rails. No reforms. No amendments to stop Trump’s other schemes. Just a blank check to continue terrorizing our communities.

No cameras. No recording. Just a written transcript—but you can read it and budget for yourselves. One thing is clear—the cover up continues.

-She said she’s NEVER met with with a single Epstein survivor
-She fully passed the buck on Todd Blanche for violating the law—and now Trump is saying he’s nominating Blanche as AG.
(2/3)
Pam Bondi’s transcribed interview in the Epstein case is now live. Judge for yourself:
-Time and time again she refused to answer questions about the President and what happened at DOJ
- She admitted DOJ only released HALF of the files responsive to the Epstein Transparency Act

Protect our forests and sacred sites! Yesterday we faced off with Forest Service leadership to talk about our forests and the irreplaceable sacred sites that must be protected in New Mexico. We’re here to fight like hell to protect these lands so they are there for generations to come!
It was a honor to welcome New Mexico Veterans from every corner of the state on their Honor Flight visit to Washington DC today!
Meaningful trip and we are honored to be able to join in honoring your service. To every veteran out there—we THANK YOU every day for your service and your sacrifice!❤️🇺🇸
