Over 200,000 of you made your voice heard for Chaco! The fight doesn’t end here. Follow here for more updates on the process and how you can continue to help protect Chaco.
On the 61st anniversary of Medicaid and Medicare, Donald Trump and Republicans have made it clear: they don't care about your health care.
Chaco Canyon is NOT for sale. You have until TOMORROW to submit a public comment and help protect this sacred site. Submit your public comment now: eplanning.blm.gov/Project-Home...
Today, I stood with the All Pueblo Council of Governors and the New Mexico Congressional Delegation with one clear message for Donald Trump: Chaco Canyon is not for sale. Once Trump damages the land around Chaco, it cannot be undone.
9 more days to make it clear to Donald Trump: keep your hands off Chaco and our public lands! Make your voice heard; link in the comments.
14 days to save Chaco Canyon from the Trump administration! Let’s make our voices heard.
I miss my friend, especially now. Whenever you would call John on the phone and reached his voicemail, he would end with, “Don’t take your eye off the prize.” America: don’t for a second take your eyes off what Republicans are doing to undermine our elections. The time to use your voice is now.
Happy Fourth of July, New Mexico! 🇺🇸 As we celebrate 250 years of independence, let's remember that America's story has always been one of choosing freedom over tyranny and democracy over kings. We've come too far to go back.
I took this photo a year ago when Senate Democrats were on the floor for nearly 24 hours straight, fighting back against President Trump’s Budget Betrayal. Congressional Republicans weren’t working for the American people that day – only billionaires and large corporations.
Come work on my team! My office is now accepting internship applications for the upcoming fall semester. For more information about the internship program, please visit: www.lujan.senate.gov/services/int...
I had the opportunity to sit down with Matthew Bernabe, a local business owner who truly embodies what it means to serve our communities.
If you’re born on American soil, you’re an American citizen. Period.
New Mexico wouldn’t be New Mexico without our chile. That’s why I introduced the CHILE Act – to make sure our chile growers and specialty crop producers have the support they need to keep growing, creating jobs, and feeding our communities.
The DEA knowingly let as many as 1.8 million fentanyl pills poison New Mexico's streets. Fentanyl has stolen children from New Mexican families. I'm fighting for answers and accountability. This evil drug has no place in America.
The Monumental Loop in southern NM was just named a top candidate for federal recognition under the BOLT Act, the legislation I championed to strengthen outdoor recreation.This route showcases our state's stunning landscapes, and recognition would bring the resources to help more people enjoy it.
While you were asleep, Republicans sold you out. This is a betrayal of New Mexico families
When asked about negotiations with Iran, Donald Trump said he “couldn’t care less” and called them “very boring.” Our men and women in uniform deserve a Commander in Chief who understands the consequences of war and takes them seriously. Shame on you.
After decades of fighting for the victims of the Trinity Test and uranium workers, Congress passed my legislation to extend and expand RECA. For too long, these communities were denied the recognition and compensation they deserved.
Donald Trump is STILL conniving his way into setting up a private slush fund of $1,800,000,000 tax dollars to pay criminals who tried to overthrow our democracy. Absolutely despicable.
Not a single one of Trump’s ridiculous grift projects is lowering fuel prices, cutting grocery bills, or helping families keep up with rising costs. Americans are struggling to afford the basics while Trump focuses on enriching himself and his inner circle.
Donald Trump is trying to sell off the Chama and Carson National Forests to the highest bidder for uranium mining. New Mexicans have had ENOUGH of the federal government turning our public lands into toxic, hazardous sites that threaten families, livestock, and clean water.
Not only are Republicans trying to pass a budget resolution that does nothing to make things more affordable for Americans, they’ve also blocked my amendment to feed children, seniors, and veterans.
Republicans gutted Medicaid, now RFK is lying to your face about it.
Communities of the Chama Valley have cared for this land and water for generations. President Trump thinks he can come in and sell off our public lands to the highest bidder for uranium mining, but he’s wrong. There is only one Chama – it is our sacred responsibility to protect it.
I’m standing with countless advocates and Northern New Mexicans to protect the Chama from the Trump administration.
BLM plans to release a Draft Environmental Assessment in the coming months, followed by just 14 days for public input. 14 days to save a 1,000+ year old heritage site? Follow for more updates and when the public comment period will start. Let’s keep fighting to protect Chaco.
