Trump and Republicans have thrown millions of Americans off their health care and laid off thousands of federal workers. All while costs skyrocket and working families struggle to put food on the table. I’ll keep fighting to lower costs and protect New Mexico's federal workers.

The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a “terrorist supporting organization” and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

Trump's EPA is moving to strip protections from wetlands all across the country. This rule will have disastrous consequences for many American communities by polluting their drinking water and skyrocketing water treatment costs for taxpayers.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
Where is the MAHA outcry?

Bowhead whales make huge amounts of a DNA-repair protein that seems to stop damaged cells from turning pre-cancerous. The AK Iñupiaq community helped researchers determine that Bowheads can live 200yrs without cancer. This may help find new cancer treatments in humans.
