The Trump 2.0 Agenda:

- Billionaires get handouts
- Working families get higher costs
- Federal workers go unpaid

Republicans aren’t fighting to lower your costs — they’re fighting for their donors.

So Trump thinks we should give a $20B bailout to the right wing government in Argentina, but we can’t afford to keep your healthcare from going up by $1000s of dollars a year? Bullshit.

Even without the mug shot, it’s pretty clear who the real criminal is.

Received this video from a former staffer of mine. It’s a leaking pipeline in the Permian Basin. They called the Carlsbad field office and no one picked up, so it can’t be reported or followed up on.

The cost of the shutdown will be felt for decades.

If Republicans have their way, hardworking folks in New Mexico are going to suffer.

At a time when energy demand is going up astronomically, the Trump Administration is making your electricity bill more expensive.

Let's be clear: Republicans just spent $3.4 trillion on tax cuts for high-end earners. We're talking about $35 billion a year for working people.

We can afford this.

If my Republican colleagues can afford to give a $3.4 trillion tax cut to Trump and his billionaire friends, then we can afford to hold down people’s health care costs.

Who do you know who can afford $400 more a month in health care premiums?

Since the beginning of the ACA, Democrats have fought to deliver affordable health care and Republicans have made up lies to keep you from getting it.

There were no death panels, there are no demands for free health care for undocumented immigrants.

Nakedly political and unlawful.

These projects would have created jobs and lowered costs.

Dr. Jane Goodall was a remarkable scientist and a relentless voice for conservation. She dedicated her entire life to understanding the natural world and spreading a message of enduring hope. I am grateful for and will miss her leadership, conviction, and trailblazing spirit.

The warning lights are flashing, Mr. President. Perhaps it's time to rethink the tariffs.

President Trump, folks.

This is the shutdown he wanted, and he knows it. That’s why he ordered Republican leaders not to negotiate. It’s why he is lying about Democrats’ asks. And it’s why he doesn’t care that Americans’ health care costs are skyrocketing.

If Republicans get their way, New Mexicans' health care premiums will go up $300+/month. Hard to wrap your head around how harmful this will be for families.

I spoke with folks about why I’m fighting for a bipartisan deal that protects New Mexico from higher premiums.

Let's be clear: Trump and Republicans are forcing a shutdown.

Rather than negotiate with us to lower costs, Trump is using your tax dollars to push propaganda on a government website meant to help you with housing.

Every American should be able to go to school, the grocery store, or their place of worship without fear. My thoughts are with the victims of this horrific tragedy, their family and friends, and the entire Grand Blanc community.

Earlier this month, Navajo Nation District 14 held their first annual Veterans Stand Down. My staff was there to support and make sure our veterans know that we’re here to help. From VA claims to home loans to GI Bill benefits, my office is ready to serve New Mexico’s veterans.
