A free press is essential to a free country. As the President continues to attempt to block the press, we won’t stop fighting in Congress, the courts, and our communities to defend our First Amendment rights!

The White House is the people’s house, and the people deserve to know what’s happening inside.
Especially, when POTUS invites a bunch of tech billionaires and the leader of our major global competitor inside. In spite of this court order—the press were once again blocked from reporting last night.
‼️🚨BREAKING! 🚨‼️ SCOTUS has failed the American people with a dangerous ruling which could be used to purge voter rolls and sew confusion.
We’ve seen this move by this President and his allies over & over again: Create fear around our elections, & then use the federal government to try take control.
The law is clear! Federal law prohibits armed troops at polling places, interference, and using government power to undermine our elections.
We will not be intimidated. Know your rights! Make a plan. We must protect the right to vote. 🗳️
Happy Friday!! ❤️ It’s been an extraordinary couple of weeks in DC and New York fighting for our communities. Whether in Congress or the halls of the UN, it is an honor every day to represent and work for the people of New Mexico. Excited to head home!
Over the last year— over 5 million people, mostly seniors and kids have lost access to food assistance because of the cruel and inhumane policies of this Administration and their allies in Congress. How do we reverse the damage? ⬇️
Banning media from the White House is unAmerican and unconstitutional! That’s why a judge signed a restraining order TODAY ordering access be restored.
Freedom of the press and free speech are first in our Bill of Rights. Standing in solidarity with all our press right now!
The American people are struggling to put food on the table and a roof over their head. That’s why we’re fighting for the hard-working people of this country!
Our duty next Congress is plain and simple. It is time to end the corruption, lower costs, and get justice for survivors.
This is inhumane and must be stopped.
We will not stand by and watch ICE threaten the lives of innocent people. No one should have to fear being shot or killed simply because of who they are or how they look.
Epstein’s survivors and the American people demand justice and accountability.
That’s what we are fighting for every day. That is why when we return we will vote to hold them accountable!
In New Mexico, 1 in 5 children face food insecurity while our state exports over 90% of our agricultural products and imports over 90% of our food.
If we’re serious about fixing hunger and getting food from our farmer to hungry families, we have to fix our broken food system.
Cancelling votes, refusing to conduct oversight—if you’re not willing to do your job, you shouldn’t have the job.
For 19 months, we’ve watched the GOP refuse to hold this Administration accountable. That’s why voting this November matters more than ever!
Let’s be clear—health care is a human right, not a privilege.
This is yet another attempt by the Trump administration to kick hundreds of thousands of vulnerable Americans off their healthcare.
Millions are already struggling to access healthcare—and this is their plan? We will be fighting back.
Trump’s illegal war in Iran is driving up costs for everything from gas to groceries—and our families and farmers are paying the price.
Time to end this illegal war!
Free speech includes free press. PERIOD.
We stand with every single reporter who refuses to let this Administration decide what gets covered, what gets ignored, and what the American people get to see.
The American people deserve the truth, and our reporters have the right to tell it.
Just, no! Hands off our public lands!
Here at the United Nations earlier today wrapping up a meeting with the UN Secretary-General and our Congressional Delegation on the continued need for U.S. leadership on climate action and our commitment to our communities.
Proud to be here representing New Mexico and fighting for our future! ❤️
Trump’s arch is a vanity project. Not a national security project. His claims are not only absurd, but they are a direct affront to the veterans who have proudly served this country and the hallowed ground of Arlington National Cemetery. ⬇️
G’mar Chatimah Tovah.
To all those observing, I wish you and yours an easy and meaningful fast. May this sacred day be a time for reflection, renewal, and hope.
Wishing you peace and a blessed Yom Kippur.
We’re here in NYC for Climate Week—one of the largest gatherings to address climate change in the world!
I’ve spent my career working on water & community issues & this work is near and dear to my heart. That’s why we’re here to talk about science, climate action, & to advocate for our communities.
