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!

This is the reality inside ICE detention centers. Children are being forced into jail-like conditions while this Administration strips away their basic human rights. We cannot allow this stand. We must hold this inhumane Administration accountable!
Happy first day of school to all the kiddos and students at Los Lunas Public Schools! I hope you have an amazing first week and wonderful year! 📚📓✏️
Survivors have been on Capitol Hill for months, courageously sharing their stories and demanding accountability. The Senate must listen. Todd Blanche is unfit to serve as our next Attorney General. Every Senator should vote NO.
It’s past time to BAN CONGRESSIONAL STOCK TRADING! No member of Congress [or the White House] should be trading stocks. Period. The American people deserve to know their representatives are working for them, not corporations and stock portfolios. It’s time to ban Congressional stock trading.
Black history is American history! And, we will keep fighting to make sure the Smithsonian and National Museum of African American History and Culture are there to tell these stories. Grateful for Rep. Mfume’s powerful testimony in our hearing last week! 🙏 youtu.be/2mPyT1PriEs

An honor to join a beautiful afternoon hearing from Dr. Jill Biden and Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham on the power of women in leadership, what it means to be a woman in leadership and public service, and Dr. Biden’s memoir on her time as First Lady. ❤️
I’m proud to co-lead the CDC Tribal Public Health Security and Preparedness Act in the House alongside Sen. Warren, to ensure Tribal public health departments have direct access to federal funding and invest directly in Tribal-led public health programs.

We LOVE being home in New Mexico and serving our communities! Thank you all for coming out this week to see us and for all of the important conversations, collaborations, and leadership across the District. We can’t wait to see all you in the coming weeks! <3
Tribal schools are the heart of our communities & students deserve the resources they need to thrive. This week, I introduced the Indigenous Students Excel Through Parity Acts, which will help increase student funding, teacher pay, & ensure BIE & Tribal schools receive the resources they deserve.
It’s Fiesta season across New Mexico! Honored for our team to join Chillili Land Grant for the Fiesta San Juan Nepomuceno and the Matachine Danzantes de la Sierra today. It was a beautiful day in the East Mountains! #culture #tradition #fiestas #danzantes #matachines #NewMexicoTrue

While you were over here trying to figure out how you were going to cover the rent and food—this guy was over there using $5.1 million in taxpayer money YOU paid into the system to cover these statues in 23 karat gold. Yeah, he did that.

Breaking News today on Todd Blanche’s confirmation vote getting proposed: From his refusal to follow the law in the Epstein case to the DOJ’s anti-weaponization fund, Blanche should not serve as U.S. Attorney General. Call your senators and urge them to vote a hell no on Blanche’s confirmation.

While hard-working Americans are working multiple jobs and struggling to put food on the table and a roof over their heads—the President is GETTING RICH. That’s why we are fighting here in NM to address housing, healthcare, food, and the needs of our hard-working people!

New Mexicans' voices must be heard! What happened last night in the Doña Ana County Commission hearing over Project Jupiter is unacceptable. New Mexicans have been clear: they don’t want their public lands, waters, and taxpayer dollars going to unchecked and unregulated data centers.
