The administration slashed investments in energy, and now New Mexicans are bracing themselves for the cold winter months while their utility bills soar. Yesterday, I called on HHS to bring down utility prices immediately so hardworking folks aren’t left out in the cold.

It’s outrageous to watch Defense Secretary Whiskey Pete, a former Fox News weekend host with a long trail of questioned drinking and assault allegations, try to swiftboat Sen. Mark Kelly for reminding troops they must not obey illegal orders, because instead of dealing with that he chose to…

“This all makes perfect sense if you don’t think about it and stare lovingly at an AI-generated photo of Trump riding an eagle while waving a machine gun and an American flag.”
Military veterans like Sen. Mark Kelly who tell U.S. soldiers to follow the law should be court-martialed for their insolence!

Sustained anti-Muslim hate + complaints that I'm "too critical of genocide & the Israeli Govt" = 400 cancellations of paid Subs to my human rights newsletter.

So...I'm doubling down. I cannot trade dignity for dollars, and hope those who feel the same support me.

Chaco Canyon is one of the most important living cultural landscapes on the planet and we have long called for its permanent protection. It's not about the past–it’s about the generations to come. I’ll continue to fight for it because it is a place worth protecting.

Earlier this week I met with IBEW Local Union 611 leaders to discuss permitting reform to open new clean energy projects that create good-paying union jobs.

I'm grateful for their partnership and will continue fighting for policies that support New Mexico’s workforce.

Finally here! I've been working on this article for a few months now.

Whatever podcast clips are ubiquitous, spreading truly vile misogyny everywhere online. But almost nothing is known about the show.
