We’re coming to you from the New Mexico State Capitol today, where we’re advocating for some really important initiatives in NM. And, we’re here with updates on federal funding, the Epstein files, Congress, and everything else going on. ⬇️

Todd Blanche said that there are no names in the Epstein files. He’s lying.

1. We have already seen names of co-conspirators, & the survivors told us they gave sworn statements to police and the FBI that are in the files.
2. Trump told MTG his friends would get hurt if the full files were released.

Arresting journalists.
Raiding election offices.
Invading American cities.
Committing violence against our own people.

The worst of what we feared is here. It’s time for any of my colleagues sitting on the sidelines to do something and stand up.

Things DOJ & the FBI did this week:
-Threatened continued violence in MN if voting files not handed over
-Raided a GA election office for voting files
-Lost a suit in OR trying to access voter files

Things they did not do:
-RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

See the pattern here?

We loved Chopping it Up at the Barbershop last night at All Eyes On Me Barbershop. Thank you, Patrick and Dr. Coleman, for your leadership in the community and for inviting us to join this conversation about service and what it means to give back. ❤️

Hard working Americans can barely afford rent and groceries—and now Trump is vowing to keep prices up???

Tell me you’re out of touch without telling me you’re out of touch.

To my colleagues in the Senate: Hold the line.

The New Mexico legislature has a choice to make: human dignity or corporate profits on the backs of our communities. When it comes to HB9, it’s really that simple.

That’s why I stand with our communities and will always stand with human dignity.

These are NM’s all-stars! We are so proud of this years' Service Academy nominees, Congressional Art Competition winner, and Congressional App Challenge winners. These young people are leading with talent and distinction and are making our community proud. Congratulations to you and your families! ❤️

Protest comes in many forms, and for some, protest comes with art. Today, we stopped at 516 Arts to see their latest exhibition, The Armor We Wear.

I know times are scary right now, but it’s vital we continue to do things that bring us joy! We must also not forget that art is a catalyst for change!
Rep. Stansbury: Art is a form of protest!

We’re taking a moment to honor the life and service of Alex Pretti, and we also wanted to take a moment to tell you what we are doing here in ABQ to ensure our communities are safe, working with community groups, the Mayor, County officials, local law enforcement & others. We are in this together. 🫶

I think this speaks for itself. ⬇️

I know so many of you are angry, heartbroken, and scared. While we are grieving the killing of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good and all the families torn apart by this Administration—we must continue to organize and act. In Congress. In the courts. And, in our communities! ✊

Today, federal agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis in plain sight. This is why we are fighting back against this lawless administration.

Millions are asking us to do something, while our colleagues stand in the way of basic accountability. We must stand for the people and their rights!

Minneapolis, we stand with you! ✊🇺🇸

I want to give a HUGE shoutout to all of the restaurants and chefs from NM who made the semifinals for the James Beard Awards! 

To Bow & Arrow, Burque Bakehouse, Daydream Rum House, and chefs Steve Riley, Graham Dodds, and Danny Calleros—we are wishing you all the luck! 

Make us proud!

Yesterday was the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, and we were with the leadership of @ppfa.org to talk about the fight ahead. 

We stand shoulder to shoulder with the leaders and advocates who refuse to back down in the fight for reproductive justice. Because, healthcare is a human right. 💕

It’s been a crazy week. Funding bills. War powers. Trump v NATO. Gearing up on Environmental priorities. And, the #NMleg is back in the swing—leading the way! ⬇️

The buck stops here. Literally. Today, the House is voting on multiple funding bills and a War Powers Resolution I cosponsored with @repmcgovern.bsky.social. It’s time for Congress to reassert our authority and rein this Administration in!
Rep. Stansbury: We must rein in ICE, the president, and support SAMHSA!

For-profit prison companies are making record profits — HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS from taxpayer dollars — through the “Detention Industrial Complex” that ICE & the Trump administration has created.

Ok, but can we all agree this is super weird?

He can’t remember which country he threatened to invade and he says they “call him daddy”….?!?
