MAGA Republicans say it’s about safety, but what’s safe about cutting healthcare, raising costs, and making it harder to afford basic needs?

Meet the NM Republican insider cashing in on ICE contracts and private prison ties (UPDATED) In 2025, CSI Aviation went from $364 million to $1.2 billion in revenue, making it the #1 ICE contractor, $500M ahead of private prison operator GEO Group.

Allen Weh is a former NM GOP Chair, US Senate candidate, and billionaire. He gave more than $204K to Trump’s re-election in 2024, shortly before receiving a no bid ICE contract: progressnownm.org/meet-the-nm...

New Mexico regulators near final rules strengthening oil and gas bonding and cleanup - Western Environmental Law Center Parties in the New Mexico Oil Conservation Commission (OCC) case to modernize oil and gas clean up and bonding rules filed their final post-hearing briefs on Friday, March 20, a key step as the OCC prepares to decide whether to update decades-old financial safeguards meant to prevent orphaned and abandoned wells. “This case has made […]

Final briefs filed Friday in New Mexico’s oil and gas bonding & cleanup rule case. The Oil Conservation Commission now has the opportunity to adopt smart, reasonable safeguards that ensure oil and gas corporations clean up the wells they drill.

New Mexico could face more than 5,000 abandoned oil and gas wells and up to $1.6 billion in cleanup costs under current rules.
Modernizing bonding helps ensure oil and gas corporations pay to clean up wells they drill.

Trump threatened to commit war crimes against the entire population of Iran if they don't bend to his will. Like and share if you want NM's delegation to invoke the 25th amendment against Trump.

Oil companies are making billions off of New Mexico's oil while the US wages an illegal war in Iran and somehow NM families are still the ones paying for it all.

Trump may send American soldiers into Iran, even without congressional approval. It feels like Iraq and Afghanistan all over again. Voters don't want a bloody, drawn out war that kills service members and civilians alike.

The hardworking people of Albuquerque won a crucial victory last night: City Council passed the Safer Community Places ordinance to protect us all from aggressive and violent ICE tactics

Thank you to every advocate and community member who showed up & spoke out!

Last fall, ABQ's mayor said during his re-election campaign that the city "cannot arrest our way out of" homelessness. But new jail booking data suggests that's exactly what's being attempted.

Text overlay states: "THREE IN FOUR AMERICANS DO NOT APPROVE OF U.S. STRIKES ON IRAN THAT HAVE PLUNGED THE MIDDLE EAST INTO CHAOS." with "DO NOT" in red. Secondary text reads: "HE'S NOT LISTENING."

The truth? Starting a war with Iran makes the U.S. less safe. Americans don't want higher gas prices, economic instability, or increased risk of a terror attack.

Historic protections for immigrant safety, privacy, and healthcare passed this session. Yet political games sacrificed our climate future. Our values guided these wins—now we must demand leaders finish the job on clean energy and resilience. #NMPol #NMleg

New Mexico attorney general reopens Zorro Ranch investigation "Revelations outlined in the previously sealed FBI files warrant further examination" a state DOJ spokesperson wrote.

Thank you, AG Torrez, for taking this up. The 2019 email thread between Trump appointed US attorneys in NY/NM makes it clear they failed to investigate at Zorro Ranch. It's time to look at witness/survivor reports again and preserve any evidence on site.

'Blackstone is not welcome in New Mexico': Residents slam proposed takeover of PNM "When has granting more resource access to billionaires ever helped anyone?" one commenter asked utility regulators.

We know how this Blackstone/PNM proposal plays out... extreme profits to Wall Street (and Saudia Arabia) investors while New Mexicans don't get a seat at the table in decisions about our own energy future. Hard pass.

Moral Clarity: HB9 Proved We Can Act - Now Do It for Our Climate We’re a couple of “good” fires and floods away from it suddenly becoming politically expedient for a holdout legislator to finally “get it.”

Floods and wildfires increasing. Residents of Mora, Ruidoso, etc. struggling to keep insurance for homes and businesses. Families waiting on disaster relief payments. Time is running out, but it’s not too late – we can come together to demand bold climate action: progressnownm.org/moral-clari...

We're back with your NM Leg daily recap and... legislators are getting things done?! Credit where credit is due, this 30 day session is shaping up to be a productive one.

From what we've heard, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is supportive & likely to sign HB 9 into law

That said, you can also send her a quick note encouraging her to sign it quickly: actionnetwork.org/letters/sign...

(this is a prefilled letter, takes ~1-2 mins / you can edit the message if you want)

So grateful for everyone who made this happen...especially those who voted for what's right, even if it wasn't the easiest political choice for them individually. I don't usually cry watching legislation get passed... but, man. This was a real one. So proud of my state.
