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.
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.
"This victory is a great first step in preserving choice & affordability in entertainment for NM working families, as well as the longevity of our state's film industry. My office will continue to protect the rights of consumers in NM, as well as our state's unique film industry." - AG Torrez

#NMAG Torrez joined Major Garrett today on CBS' The Takeout and talked about how survivors deserve dignity and respect. Pt. 2 ⬇️
Thank you Jennifer Freeman, we will continue to do everything we can to support the survivors. It is critical to our mission that the DOJ release the files to us so we can properly search for new leads, potential co-conspirators and more.
U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie (R) on Epstein Files Transparency Act II: "It's letting the state attorneys general do the job that the U.S. Attorney General will not do."
Massie: "I agree with the First Lady when she says Epstein did not act alone"
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
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.
