Trump is spending ONE BILLION dollars a day on a war that’s driving up the cost of gas, food, and electricity. He lied about bringing down prices on day one.

New Mexico Wild was in my office last week to talk about protecting the Gila River – one of our state’s most treasured landscapes. I’m fighting to protect our lands, safeguard our rivers, and make sure New Mexico’s natural heritage is preserved for generations to come.
Eid Mubarak 🌙✨ Wishing you joy, peace, and celebration with loved ones!
President Trump wants to rig the election. I'm fighting back.

Just heard from a constituent in Albuquerque who paid nearly $60 just to fill up his tank. Families are already stretched thin, and President Trump’s war is making things even worse at the gas pump.
DHS is facing a real crisis of accountability. Even the Republican Chairman warned Senator Mullin would set “a terrible example” for ICE and Border Patrol agents.
I’m fighting to protect our rights, keep our communities safe, and hold this administration accountable. I will vote NO on Sen. Mullin.
Electric bills are skyrocketing, and families are paying the price. President Trump’s policies and his war with Iran are driving up costs, and when asked about it, he said, “If prices rise, they rise.” He’s putting Americans last and making them pay the price.
Seriously?
The Trump admin just admitted they know extending this illegal war will drive up costs and hurt hardworking families trying to make ends meet, and still said that’s “the last of their concerns.”
Their actions have made it clear: helping American families isn’t their priority.
Yesterday, I met with the NM Farm and Livestock Bureau to talk about how Congress can better support our farmers and ranchers.
Farming is at the heart of New Mexico, and our farmers and ranchers are essential to our communities. I will always fight to make sure they have the support they need.
This week, I met with Mescalero Apache Telecom and the National Tribal Telecommunications Association to discuss how we can modernize the USF to ensure it effectively serves Tribes in New Mexico and across the country. Thank you for working every day to expand broadband access in Tribal communities.
Our state has a strong tradition of service to this country. I was blessed to welcome some of New Mexico's VFW members to my office today. Congress must make sure our veterans and their families get the care and support they deserve.
New Mexico Highlands University was represented in our nation’s capital today!
I’m proud to see my alma mater leading the way for students back home and expanding opportunities across our state. I look forward to continuing our work together to build on that progress for all New Mexicans.
As health care costs continue to skyrocket across our country, Amador Health Center in Las Cruces is committed to delivering high-quality care to New Mexicans. I helped secure $516,000 for Amador Health Clinic to strengthen care for families in Doña Ana County and keep health services close to home.
President Trump gets $4 BILLION richer.
Families are $1,000 poorer.
The math isn’t adding up. Who is this economy really working for?
I was proud to deliver $862,000 for CNM to help create a quantum science lab and launch a new quantum training program to meet the rapidly growing workforce demands in New Mexico.
CNM’s Quantum Technician Training Program will prepare homegrown talent for quality, good-paying jobs.
Central New Mexico Community College and New Mexico Junior College are doing big things. Thanks for stopping by the office!
Brendan Carr has turned the FCC into President Trump's censorship machine, weaponizing it to target and silence his political opponents. The biggest mistake was appointing Carr in the first place.
It was an honor to meet with the NM chapter of Special Olympics in my office today. Their work supporting NMs with intellectual and developmental disabilities is critical, and it was inspiring to hear directly from athletes, families, and staff about the impact they are making across our state.
The only ad you needed to see last night.
Survivors deserve justice, and the American people deserve the truth. AG Bondi & President Trump, stop hiding, comply with the law, and release the files.
The only thing more powerful than hate is love. 👏🏽🇵🇷🇺🇸
¡Gracias!
Today, Senate Democrats forced action to see whether Senate Republicans would enforce the law and ensure transparency and justice for victims.
Senate Republicans shamefully blocked it. The American people deserve the truth, and victims deserve justice. (2/2)
Last year, my Epstein Files Transparency Act became law, requiring the Trump administration to release ALL of the Epstein files. They have continued to break the law by releasing ONLY A FRACTION of the files. (1/2)
Not another dollar for DHS and ICE without real accountability.
The brutality and chaos caused by President Trump’s masked, poorly-trained, violent ICE agents needs to stop immediately.
Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller need to go.
Rosa Parks was born 113 years ago today. Her simple act of bravery sparked a movement for justice.
Rosa Parks is a powerful reminder that change takes courage. Today, we honor her legacy.
Fire Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem.
New Mexicans who have suffered from radiation exposure have waited far too long for justice. I was proud to help expand RECA so New Mexicans can receive the compensation they deserve.
This new online tool will make it easier for New Mexicans to apply and receive compensation. Apply today.
support a funding package that does not include accountability and meaningful reforms to end this violence. Although ongoing bipartisan negotiations to reform ICE and protect our communities are a step in the right direction, these critical reforms must be enshrined in the law to earn my support.
Under the Trump administration, our nation has witnessed federal immigration agents kill two American citizens in Minneapolis while the administration has responded with outright lies and escalation. With ICE operating out of control under Secretary Noem and Stephen Miller, I cannot (cont.)
This administration is using its power to punish political opponents instead of helping the American people.
