Today is the day our Indian Pueblo bill gets marked up in the Senate! This bill will return almost 10 acres of land to the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque. Grateful to our colleagues for their bipartisan support for this bill and the IPCC—which is right in the heart of our community!
Was looking through photos for some #WackyWednesdayArt and came across this statue of a graduate 😂 in downtown Brookings SD. Brings is the home of the South Dakota State University Jackrabbits.
#Stunday #Camping #SoCal #AnzaBorrego #Desert #Photography My campsite in the Anza Borrego Desert, bathed in the honey-tinged first light on a still and tranquil morning. Desert solitude runs strong here. The harsh reality of 105 degrees and no shade comes in just a few short hours!

We must #ShutDownDilley & end the detention of children. Children are living in inhumane conditions, denied medical care, & enduring trauma that no child should ever have to endure. I stand with my colleagues in the DWC & Rep. Joaquin Castro in demanding the shutdown of the Dilley Trailer Prison.
Beating the storm on the way to Chaco from White Rock, which passes through an absolute flood zone. It started raining after pitching the tent in the campground.
#ColorADay #RedWed End of the road, Grand Wash, Capitol Reef N.P., #Utah I made sure to get my red ride in frame too - my 2008 Tacoma has probably seen each square mile of Utah by now. #photography #dirtroadphotography
When light recedes, that is when the dunes come alive, a harmony of shapes, textures and patterns. Creations that we could not have predicted, and often not imagined. Sossusvlei, Namibia. #bluesky #photography #landscapephotography #nature #naturephotography #landscape #travel #art
Murals of windows on a brick wall in Winslow AZ along historic Route 66. The red flatbed Ford pickup and statues all evoke memories of the Eagles and the tune “Take It Easy”. #WindowsOnWednesday #ColorADay #RedWed
