BREAKING: SB 18 Clear Horizons Act just passed out of Senate Conservation Committee on a vote of 5-4! Thank you legislators for supporting bold climate action. On to the next committee! #NMpol #NMleg

77% of New Mexicans support action to reduce climate pollution.
The #ClearHorizonsAct puts that mandate into action by protecting families, health, & our economy.

I have been made visible on camera! (Maybe the dazzle camo dress was an error? eh, nah.)

I meant it, though: SB 18 is a continuation of the good work that New Mexico has already done in reducing emissions. It creates certainty and continuity by codifying our reduction targets in law.
AnnaLinden Weller testifies that #SB18 codifies a process that EMNRD began years ago and has been following successfully to this day.
Not scary, not costly, but a prudent process to reduce carbon pollution.
Pass the NM #ClearHorizonsAct.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.
Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?

MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone

A multimillionaire thinks that paying down the national debt is so important that all the poors should get into the workforce earlier, work in it harder, and stay in it later to help pay it off.

It's the only possible way to do it!
Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

Stephanopoulos reads a blistering quote from the judge here
Welcome home, Liam. A 5-year-old should be in school and with family — not in detention. I’m relieved he and his father are finally headed back to Minnesota.

Now ICE needs to leave.

No fucking way.
Texas Dems flipped a +17 Trump district yesterday. Meanwhile in Nevada:

They will run for new terms unopposed.

This is a friggin crazy story. No logic, no humanity. These poor people.
Alaska officials gave false info to American Samoans, telling them they can vote. (They can’t, due to having a unique status among anyone born in a US state or territory.)

Now the state is threatening them with years in prison, part of GOP’s voting fraud panic.
