    Trump promised jobs and factories would “come roaring back into our country.” Since then, over a MILLION people have left the job market. Inflation is sky-high. The Global economy is tanking. An illegal war in Iran has cost American and civilian lives across the region and

    Labor force participation has fallen to 61.5% — the lowest since 2021, erasing the entire post-pandemic recovery. Since Trump's inauguration, over a million people have left the job market — which explains part of the reason the unemployment rate dropped last month.

    What a joke. Donald Trump just BRAGGED about himself getting sued! I wonder why no other administration has been nearly as “good” at getting sued as his has been?? 🤔

    Trump: "The best thing and the biggest thing we're doing is we're building a ballroom,and a tremendous military center. That was supposed to be to top secret, but it's no longer topic secret, because whatever you do you get sued."

    Happy 100th birthday to Route 66! What was once a vital trade route across the United States is now an iconic part of our history in NM and across the U.S. In NM, Route 66 is more than just a road—it’s a place of gathering, of culture, and connection for our communities. Thank

    Every person deserves due process and to be treated with dignity and respect. This is why we opposed giving a blank check to ICE. This is not about law and order. This is about mass detention and deportation without due process. It is inhumane, un-American, and just wrong. And

    The Trump regime is ramping up its deportation agenda again. ICE quietly arrested 10,000 people in just 5 days last week. There are now 63,000 people in ICE detention, while deaths in detention are at a record high. nytimes.com/2026/07/01/us/…

    Like many of you we are angry and heartbroken at the news of the shooting Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. My heart is with his family and the community as they face this unimaginable loss.  No family should ever have to learn that a loved has been killed by a federal ICE agent. This

    From mental health support to addiction, too many of our neighbors are being forced to go without the care they deserve. But in New Mexico, we take care of each other. That’s why I’m fighting every day to bring federal resources home to strengthen our behavioral health care
