Across the country tonight, Americans voted loud and clear.

They voted for democracy, affordability, and against Trump’s chaos, cruelty and corruption.

Up next: taking back the House. Adelante!

Republicans in Washington should take a lesson from New Mexico and put families over politics. Thank you to Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, Attorney General Raúl Torrez, and our legislative leaders for standing up for New Mexican families.

In New Mexico, we know that Indigenous Peoples' Day is not just one day out of the year - our state's Indigenous communities are deeply ingrained in our heritage, our present, and our future.

Question of the third day of the shutdown: Is Speaker Johnson cancelling next week’s votes because:

a.) Republicans don’t want to lower Americans’ healthcare costs
b.) They don’t want to release the Epstein Files
or c.) All of the above?

Robert Redford fell in love with the soul, the people, the lands, and the food of New Mexico. And we loved him right back. Descanse en paz to a remarkable artist, a champion for the arts, and a simply wonderful person.

Hey, SCOTUS: this 17th-generation New Mexican proudly celebrated her heritage in Spanish and English this weekend.

Hear us: Los Latinos no tenemos miedo.

We BELONG.

Today we sat with brave survivors who reminded us that there cannot be healing without justice.

It’s time for Republicans to listen to survivors, and stand against trafficking and violence against women & children.

We won’t stop demanding justice.

Release the Epstein Files!

A new report claims the Trump family has profited off of his two presidencies to the tune of $3.4 billion, and counting. Meanwhile, American families are struggling to make ends meet.

Trump is the most corrupt president in American history.

Last night Republicans on the Rules Committee voted to block the vote to release the Epstein Files.

What are they hiding?

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

As we celebrate our nation's 249th birthday today, let's remember what made July 4th, 1776, so revolutionary: we chose democracy and rejected the rule of a single, all-powerful king.

Congressional Republicans just sold out the American people to the billionaires among us.

Our job is to get in good trouble to make sure every American can have a good life, good health care, good education, good food and a home of their own.

What’s the update here? Can we expect a no vote to protect Medicaid for your constituents?
July 3, 2025 at 4:06 PM
This is not over. Republicans tried to push this bill through in the dead of night, and Democrats didn’t let them. They lied about the devastating Medicaid cuts, but the American people are smarter than that. They work for YOU. Call right now.

Save Medicaid. Call Your Representative:
This is going to be a close vote. Every single call made — and voicemail left — will make a difference. Please call your Representative right now and tell them: do not make any cuts to Medicaid.

Congressional Republicans are coming for New Mexico's healthcare, food security, rural hospitals and our economy — 2% job losses across our state in the fallout.

Today is a hard day, and it’s also our favorite Congresista’s birthday. We’re grateful she’s spending it fighting back in the Rules Committee on behalf of her constituents and Americans across the country, and against this big betrayal of a bill. - Team Teresa

Senate Republicans just voted to pay for tax cuts for billionaires by kicking 17 million people off their healthcare and shuttering rural hospitals across America. Shame.
July 1, 2025 at 4:11 PM
This bill attacks wind and solar energy - booming business in New Mexico.

Republicans want to strip NM of our energy opportunities - cutting billionaire taxes while imposing a punitive tax on wind and solar.

This will kill businesses and drive energy bills up for families.

A vote for this bill is a vote to shutter nursing homes and rural hospitals millions of Americans depend on.

For weeks Senate Republicans have heard the cries of Americans across the country to protect Medicaid and instead - they’ve made the bill even worse.
🚨 BREAKING: New CBO score reveals GOP Senate bill slashes $930 BILLION from Medicaid — the largest cut in history.

That means 10M+ could lose coverage.

💸 Earlier GOP plan: $700B
📉 New plan: $930B

This is a full-scale attack on America’s most vulnerable. #KillTheBill
June 29, 2025 at 2:31 AM
Don't let them mislead you - Republicans in Washington are still trying to do everything in their power to take healthcare away from 16 million people across America. A vote for this bill is a vote to shutter rural hospitals and endanger millions of lives. Keep up the pressure.
