Today marks the anniversary of the FDA’s approval of the first birth control pill—a HUGE milestone in our fight for reproductive freedom.
Birth control has empowered generations of women to take control of their health and their future—but we must not forget that these rights are under attack.

Let’s be honest: the policies they’re pushing? LITERALLY straight out of Project 2025. The same plan they claimed they had nothing to do with.
Now they’re writing them into law—gutting public lands, rejecting science, and handing out kickbacks to their corporate buddies.
We’re fighting back!
This #NationalNursesWeek, we honor the heart of our healthcare system—our nurses. From rural clinics to urban hospitals, in every community & every crisis, nurses show up with compassion, courage, & care.
Thank you for your service, your advocacy, and your dedication. We see you & stand with you.
In Donald Trump’s America, not even Elmo is safe.
That’s why we’re here today to stand for a free and fair press—which is vital to our democracy. ✊
We’re more than 8 hours into this Reconciliation markup in the House Natural Resources Committee and the GOP has completely stopped engaging on answering basic questions about their own bill.
We have never seen anything like it. It’s going to be a long night.
Friends, starting tomorrow, May 7th, if you want to fly domestically or enter certain federal buildings, you will need a REAL ID!
For more information visit: realid.mvd.newmexico.gov or give my office a call at (505) 346-6781.
Happy National Teacher Appreciation Day! Today, we honor the teachers and educators who inspire, support, and empower our students every day.
We know Trump is dismantling the Department of Education and eliminating vital programs that help our students, and we stand with our teachers and educators.
Then there was that time the Republicans didn’t stick around in committee for THEIR OWN reconciliation bill.
We’re motioning to adjourn on this ridiculous bill. #DemsShowUp!
Everything about this Reconciliation bill in Natural Resources is a total lie. It’s bad for our:
- Economy
- Environment
- Communities
That’s why we’re prepared to sit here all day and fight it every step of the way.
Today on #MMIWDay we honor the Indigenous women and relatives who are missing and have been taken and recommit to addressing this systemic violence and ensuring there are #NoMoreStolenSisters.
We stand with Native families and communities in the fight to end this crisis. #MMIWR #MMIWP
We have our winner for the Congressional Art Competition!
Meet Ruby, a student at Albuquerque High who submitted her work called “The Burn,” which is a scene from the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.
What an amazing piece! ❤️
May is Jewish American Heritage Month—a time to honor the deep legacy and heritage of Jewish Americans.
Jewish communities are a part of the fabric of our culture and date back over centuries.
This month, we celebrate this history and recommit to fighting hate in all its forms, now and always.
Last summer, NM faced devastating wildfires and flooding. Our communities are still rebuilding.
We're already facing another fire season, and federal firefighters and temporary workers haven’t been hired. The Trump admin’s cuts to the Forest Service could devastate our communities.
Friends, I know so many of you want to stay informed on what is happening in Congress and what I’m doing to serve the people of NM-01.
Subscribe to my newsletter for all of that and more.
We’ll send you updates right to your inbox: stansbury.house.gov/contact/news...
The GOP wants to hand out $7T in tax breaks to billionaires while taking food from our kids.
Cutting SNAP isn’t about “balancing the budget” — it’s a cruel agenda that will impact millions of children, seniors, and families.
That’s why these cuts are not only unconscionable, they’re disgusting.
These are the real, on-the-ground impacts of Trump, Musk, and DOGE’s cuts to the federal government.
This hurts real people in our community, and we must continue to fight back.
A free press isn’t optional, it’s integral to our democracy.
Journalists uncover the truth, expose corruption, and give a voice to the voiceless.
Attacks on the press are on the rise and we must protect them, because when we defend them, we defend democracy. #WorldPressFreedomDay
Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month!
#AANHPI communities are woven into the fabric of our cultures and have shaped every corner across NM.
Today, let’s not just celebrate this heritage but recommit to ensuring every community is seen, heard, and represented.
If you're breaking the law, lining your own pockets, and calling it "public service" — the Amendment I introduced in the Oversight Committee has your name on it.
No more taxpayer-funded grift. Not for Trump. Not for Elon. Not for anyone.
The GOP once again blocked it.
