Mounting pressure from #NMAG Torrez and state AGs leads Paramount/Warner Brothers to freeze merger. This is a considerable win for New Mexicans as we work to protect competition across the market and jobs for hard working New Mexicans.

NBC News@nbcnews.com · last wk.

Paramount Skydance agrees to freeze its merger with rival entertainment conglomerate Warner Bros. Discovery until as late as next June while a federal judge weighs a lawsuit from a coalition of state attorneys general challenging the deal.

#NMAG Torrez on The Briefing w/ @jenpsaki.bsky.social: “It appears that the administration has been really focused on the management of communications around the Epstein case, rather than acting in a way that demonstrates a commitment to getting to the truth & to accountability." @ms.now Pt. 2⬇️

Thank you @mollyjongfast.bsky.social with Fast Politics Podcast on @msnowevents.bsky.social for continuing to advocate for the Epstein victims and for full disclosure of the Epstein files.

Roshelle Ruffin was arrested today in Texas, and charged with 25 counts of Fraud totaling $66,296.06. The #NMDOJ will continue to investigate, arrest and prosecute those who seek to steal and defraud hard-working New Mexicans.

Listen to survivors.

Today, #NMAGTorrez joined Sara Sidner on CNN to discuss the USDOJ’s mishandling of the Epstein files & the #NMDOJ’s criminal investigation. Zorro Ranch was mentioned over 12,000 times in the files, but we need unredacted access to follow these leads & uncover the truth survivors are owed. Pt. 2 ⬇️

The survivors deserve answers and we will continue to fight to get them. Thank you @heinrich.senate.gov

Senator Martin Heinrich@heinrich.senate.gov · 3w ago

We have an Attorney General in New Mexico who's serious about actually having an investigation and seeking justice for Epstein's survivors. This is a path to actually being able to hold people accountable.

We've heard the same commitment since April, and no records have followed. Words spoken to a Senate committee mean nothing if they don't show up in writing to this office. Thank you @hirono.senate.gov for asking this important question.
