Pope Leo XIV said it best: real “pro-life” means compassion, not control.

Here in New Mexico, faith and respect go hand in hand, and we trust families to make the choices that fit their lives.

When it comes to trust, I'd rather put my faith in Dr. McDreamy's surgical skills than RFK's conspiracy theories. At least McDreamy's good looks are backed by science.

Is there a ridiculously long list of doctors we'd trust before listening to RFK Jr. and Trump? That's what's known as a bingo, friends.

There's lots of things we trust more than Trump or RFK Jr. when it comes to our healthcare. Especially doctors

The NM GOP think our families and communities who rely on basic services are "not-so-special" 🙄 We think they're just sore losers 💅 #nmpol

In New Mexico, we take care of each other. That tradition is what builds strong, safe communities.

We’re grateful to the legislature & the governor for coming together to address urgent funding issues that will help New Mexicans access vital healthcare & food assistance when they need it the most.

A doctor we trust more than Dr. Oz? Dr. Seuss 🌟 He's smart, timeless, and wildly imaginative — we’d pick Green Eggs and Ham over political spam any day. 📚 #DrSeussKnowsBest

Taylor’s album dropped. The balloons are flying. And NM Democrats? They just delivered real protections like access to healthcare, food/essentials, and vaccines for our people. 🫶🏼 Iconic behavior, all around. Republicans could never.

Dr. Dre has:
✅ Changed lives with beats
✅ Never lied about vaccines
✅ Stayed out of your uterus
We trust him way more than RFK Jr.
Still D.R.E., never D.E.R.A.N.G.E.D.
