Hunger is a policy choice.
From our SNAP Back Act in the House, to the Senate, to our Governor & State Legislature, to our Attorney General and food banks, we are working on all fronts to make sure New Mexicans can put food on the table as this food crisis is being manufactured by the White House.

I think this tells you what you need to know about who is blocking food to American families and keeping the government shut down. ⬇️
Letting 42 million Americans go without food this weekend—half of whom are children—is WRONG and a CHOICE.
The funds are there, but the White House is trying to leverage hungry kids for a political agenda. Mr. President, American lives are not a political game, and we are not here to play.
In case I’ve not made myself clear—no family in America should go hungry. Period.
Trump’s decision to withhold SNAP is unconscionable and immoral. The GOP needs to come back to DC and reopen the government. And the Admin needs to release the funds so families can put food on the table on Saturday.
Let’s be clear here—Trump has the funds to ensure 42 million Americans don’t lose access to SNAP benefits on Saturday. But, they are CHOOSING to let Americans starve.
That’s why I introduced the SNAP BACK Act today—to ensure families are fed.
We will not let Americans starve.
Cutting off food for children, elders, and veterans is wrong. Period.
That’s why we’re here fighting back. ⬇️
Just flew in from Albuquerque and had to come down to see the White House for myself.
As our communities are facing a crisis—Trump is CHOOSING to cut off food assistance to 40 million Americans—while building a $300 million ballroom for himself.
Cruelty is the point.
Cutting families off from food assistance is unacceptable. I joined over 200 Members of Congress in calling on the Admin to release SNAP funding. We are also dropping legislative language to force the Admin to release this funding and supporting states in taking legal action to release those funds.
NM, even in the most challenging times—your grit, determination and heart give me hope and purpose for the work ahead.
Today, I head back to DC to continue our fight to reopen the government, address the food and healthcare crisis facing our communities, and fight for our democracy.
Such a wonderful week at home! Including our visit to the @tgrcnm.bsky.social. This center is an amazing resource that provides safe spaces to connect, get access to healthcare, casework, housing, and hot meals, a donation closet, and so much more!
Thank you TGRC for the incredible work you do! 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈❤️
It’s Fall in New Mexico—and that means one thing—it’s chile season! I’m here at Wagner Farms in Corrales and want to shout out all of our local farmers and businesses, and to wish you all a Happy Fall! 🎃🌶️🍂
Furloughing nearly 80% of our nation’s nuclear security workforce is dangerous. Yet, that is exactly what the Trump Admin and the GOP did.
My colleagues and I are demanding the IMMEDIATE reinstatement of NNSA workers—including at NM’s National Labs. Our national security literally depends on it.
Cruelty seems to be the point. This week, the Administration showed it cares more about: Building ballrooms, Bailing out billionaires, and Blowing things up.
Than it does about: Feeding families, Federal workers, Fixing healthcare, and Firming up our national security. Here’s what comes next. ⬇️
The complete demolition of the East Wing has occurred in days.
Hundreds of thousands are without work and pay, millions are threatened to have food assistance cut off—and the President is bulldozing the White House to build a $300 million ballroom for himself.
Americans will not forget.
The day we’ve waited for has finally arrived! It was truly an honor to be at the grand opening of Sandia Pueblo’s new Early Childhood Development Center!
This state-of-the-art school is not only to learn reading, writing, and arithmetic, but also language and culture, and to create future leaders!
Happy birthday to the one and only, @govmlg.bsky.social!
Thank you for leading our state with such fierceness and always bringing the fun.
Grateful to be in this fight with you!
Even as the shutdown continues, we are working for NM-01!
Proud to introduce the Tribal Affordable Housing Act and Tribal Housing Resilience Act.
These bills are about ensuring that every family has a home that is not only affordable, but safe, sustainable, and built to last.
We’ve had an amazing time back in the district this week! Thank you to everyone who showed up to our Town Halls—whether in person, on the phone, or online!
And, to all of our federal workers out there who are furloughed or working without pay: THANK YOU! We appreciate you so much!
Couldn’t make it to my Albuquerque Town Hall happening right now? Stream it here:
House leadership seems more focused on shielding the Trump Admin from accountability than actually doing their job.
Speaker, it’s time to get back to work: bring back the House, end the shutdown, swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva, and finally give the Epstein survivors the justice they deserve!
