- This reconciliation bill isn’t just bad policy—it’s an attack on our rights to protect our sacred and special lands and hold corporations accountable. We must stand up for public lands, tribal sovereignty, and our Constitutional right to be heard.
- Let me let you in on a little secret: The GOP is trying to sneak Trump’s policy wish list, aka his “One Big Beautiful Bill,” into law through a budget gimmick.
- This bill isn't about balancing the budget—it’s about tax breaks for billionaires and kick backs to corporate donors and billionaires, while silencing public voices. We see the grift and we’re calling it out.
- Happy Mother’s Day! Today, like every day, I carry my mom’s memory with me. She is there in my heart, my work, and in the quiet moments that remind me of her strength and her compassion, creativity, and love.

- The GOP’s reconciliation bill is one of the worst environmental bills I’ve ever seen. It guts public input, silences tribal and community voices, slashes environmental protections, and hands sacred and public lands to the lowest bidder with no accountability.
- This isn’t about “unleashing American energy.” It’s about greed and power and stripping away our rights. We’re fighting back!
- We know New Mexico is facing a rural healthcare crisis—that’s why we’re proud to join in co-sponsoring the Rural Wellness Act with the Congressional Health Caucus to expand access to rural health care and telehealth across the state and our country!
- Welcome to the DOGE Subcommittee—this is what it has become. They can gavel me all day—but I will always fight for what is right—at home and in Washington.
- Today marks the anniversary of the FDA’s approval of the first birth control pill—a HUGE milestone in our fight for reproductive freedom. Birth control has empowered generations of women to take control of their health and their future—but we must not forget that these rights are under attack.
