This big check is for $959,752 I secured so the Pueblo of Tesuque could build a modern wastewater treatment system.
Water must always be protected, and the Pueblo of Tesuque deserves a safe, clean water system.

ICE detained a Navajo man for 4 hours after he identified himself, offered his Tribal ID, Certificate of Indian Blood, and birth certificate.
They told him he must be stealing someone’s identity and that they would “get his family next.”

Americans are working hard and still can’t afford to buy a home the way their parents and grandparents could. That frustration is real.
Trump and Republicans have made it even harder for families to get ahead.
The @USProgressives have a plan to fix it, and it includes my Home of Your Own Act.

Late Tuesday, the Trump admin slashed nearly $2B in mental health & substance abuse funding.
There was immediate bipartisan backlash. I signed onto an effort to stop the cuts. Providers reached out to us, scared—terrified of how the drastic surprise cuts could hurt New Mexicans already struggling.

For the last year, Trump's DHS, under the leadership of Kristi Noem, has terrorized communities across the country with a violent, authoritarian & chaotic attack on our communities.
Noem must be held accountable. I cosponsored articles of impeachment to remove her from office.

Americans don’t recognize the country they live in.
We’ve witnessed the invasion of Venezuela, the militarization of our streets, and the killing of a mother of three, all while prices continue to rise for everyday Americans.
And Republicans in Congress are doing nothing.

Kristi Noem, the ringleader of this campaign of cruelty, must resign.
If she does not step down, I will support congressional action, up to and including impeachment, to make sure we have accountability at the highest levels of the Department of Homeland Security.

The Trump administration sent nearly 2,000 ICE agents into Minnesota claiming it was about child care fraud — even though child care isn’t ICE’s job.
We all saw what happened next.

New Mexico stepped up when Republicans in Congress failed. Meanwhile, places like Pennsylvania have seen massive decreases.
The Senate needs to vote to take up the House’s 3 year extension of the ACA credits now so New Mexicans and every American can afford their health insurance premiums.

Every American has seen the terror ICE has unleashed in our streets and on our neighbors.
Today, we saw an ICE agent kill an American citizen. Then, Secretary Noem immediately lied about the reasoning. You can’t lie about what we can see with our own eyes.

Trump’s priorities are all wrong, but Republicans in Congress aren’t any better.
He’s invading Venezuela and Republicans are brining up bills about shower head water efficiency standards.
You can’t make this stuff up.

5 years ago, a violent mob attacked law enforcement, sending 140 officers to the hospital. Five officers died.
Since then, Trump pardoned the offenders and not a single Republican has cosponsored the resolution condemning those pardons.

2025 brought tough battles to protect what matters most.
Despite it all, we secured millions for New Mexicans and passed RECA—finally delivering justice for radiation exposure survivors.
I’m ready to keep fighting for the bright future Americans deserve.
