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.
The GOP is running from accountability *AGAIN.*
They changed House Rules so no one can introduce Resolutions of Inquiry—including quashing ours in Oversight demanding answers on Musk and DOGE’s access of Americans’data.
They’re “delaying” all resolutions until Sept. 30! What are they hiding from?
My colleagues across the aisle just called our fight to protect Social Security “garbage.” I’m sorry—WHAT!?!?
Seniors, veterans, children, & people with disabilities are not “garbage.”
We don’t work for billionaires. We work for the people. And, we will continue to fight like hell for them.
This International Workers’ Day, we honor the workers who power our communities—from our educators and healthcare workers to farmworkers and tradespeople.
In NM, our work is rooted in community and I’ll keep fighting for unions, labor protections and to ensure that everyone has a seat at the table.
Nearly 2/3 of Americans oppose what DOGE and the GOP are trying to do to dismantle Social Security, Medicaid, & vital programs.
To our seniors, people living with disabilities, working moms, kids, and folks just struggling to get by—know that we see you, we hear you, & we are fighting for you!
Trump campaigned on the promise of supporting working people.
But in his first 100 days, he stripped bargaining rights from more than 1mil federal workers, rolled back pro-worker policies, & crippled agencies that protect workers.
This is a direct attack on working Americans. We're fighting back.
Claiming to balance the budget on the backs of federal workers—by taking away their rights and their benefits:
This is extortion. Full stop.
And I oppose it in every single way.
100 days of chaos, corruption, and constitutional crises—welcome to the first hundred days of this Administration.
Folks, this is the great betrayal. And the American people have said, “Enough!”
We will continue to fight back!
Black history is American history.
Indigenous history is American history.
Latino history is American history.
Women’s history is American history.
LGBTQ+ history is American history.
We will not be silenced.
We are not going back!
Reposted byRep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)
We will continue to show up, speak up and stand up until we end this national nightmare.

ICYMI: Sen. Warren & I introduced the SGE Ethics Enforcement & Reform Act to ensure Special Government Employees like Elon Musk are held accountable.
Americans demand transparency, good government, and to know who is working for them and not against them.

This is what democracy looks like! We only have one rule at our town halls: that we all be respectful of each other and our diverse points of view.
Thank you to everyone who joined us the last several weeks. We appreciate each and every one of you!

Happy #NationalParkWeek! Our national parks, monuments, and historic sites are integral to our cultures, histories, and stories in NM.
But the Trump’s sweeping efforts to open and sell public lands could have dire consequences for them. We cannot let these beautiful natural landscapes be destroyed.
Libraries are cornerstones of our communities and are a safe place to learn & grow. I spent my time as a kid wandering the shelves where I found my love of learning.
This School Library Month, let’s support our local libraries! It will take all of us to ensure they stay open and accessible to all.
Happy Arbor Day! It’s so important we protect our trees!
Not only do they help filter the air that we breathe and reduce greenhouse gases, but they also help cool down the Earth!
Trees play an integral role in every ecosystem across the planet, and we must do our part to protect them! 🌲🍃🌳
Arresting judges.
Threatening allies.
Lying about trade deals.
Trying to sell campaign merch from the White House.
Floating a 2028 run.
Deranged. Dangerous. Undemocratic.
We must retake our democracy.
The Department of Education exists to PROTECT OUR KIDS and their right to learn!
The Trump Admin is creating chaos for millions of kids by trying to dismantle the DOE.
Hurting not billionaires, not bureaucrats, but children.
We know because New Mexicans tell us their stories every day.
