This is what the Trump administration is trying to turn the Chama and Carson National Forest into: uranium-mining pits. Who stands with me in saying “hell no” to letting the Trump administration sell off our public lands to the highest bidder?

Inflation is at a three-year high, and families are struggling to afford the basics. President Trump’s illegal war and reckless tariffs helped create this affordability crisis, and he continues to make it worse while offering no plan to lower costs for New Mexicans.

Screwworm is a serious threat to farmers and ranchers across the Southwest. New Mexico producers are counting on the USDA to have the resources, personnel, and response needed to protect our livestock, our economy, and our communities. Today, @USDA @SecRollins committed to

I've talked to farmers all across New Mexico, and nobody's “doing very well.” They're struggling to afford the basics because Trump's policies are driving up the cost of everything.

Welker: "Gas is up. Diesel is up." Trump: "It's all coming down as soon as the war's over." Welker: "70% of farmers say they can't afford fertilizer." Trump: "The farmers are doing very well." Welker: "What's your message to farmers?" Trump: "All of them support me."

Todd Blanche is no neutral law enforcement officer. He’s never given up his primary role: Donald Trump’s chief defender in court. Putting Donald Trump and the Epstein class before YOU.

The Administration that got us into a reckless war which has killed 13 Americans and made everything more expensive, is now asking the public to “trust” in Trump. They’re as delusional as they are incompetent.

Last week, Senate Republicans once again chose loyalty to Trump over hardworking families. While Americans are struggling to afford gas and put food on the table, Republicans voted to give billions to Trump’s rogue ICE and greenlight his billion-dollar slush fund for Jan 6th

Allowing someone caught red-handed trying to overthrow our democracy anywhere near the Pentagon is a betrayal of every American this building exists to protect.

Americans are losing their jobs and struggling to afford gas, groceries, or to see their doctor. Republicans' solution: throw more money at Trump’s rogue ICE agents and cut checks for January 6th criminals. Their priorities don’t include you.

He went from orange to red. While the President's tantrums are absurd, his delusions of voter fraud are dangerous. The President is an unhinged disgrace, and the American people deserve a Congress that will stand up to Trump's lies, not enable them.

WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her." "I traveled

Donald Trump is lying about voter fraud to try to rig elections, using public funds to build a personal ballroom, enabling his family to profit off his presidency, and using taxpayer dollars to write checks to January 6th criminals. Sounds like projection to me.
