New Mexico’s name dates back hundreds of years, long before the United States even existed. It carries generations of history, culture, and rich traditions that continue to shape who we are.
We are New Mexicans. We’re proud of our name, proud of our home, and we’re keeping both. Long after Donald Trump is out of office, we’ll still be New Mexico.

NEW: @SenatorWarnock and @SenatorLujan lead 16 Senate Democrats demanding a 2-year delay of the Medicaid work requirements Republicans put in Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill.
They hit Jan. 1. CBO says 5M+ will lose coverage.
92% already work, caregive, are in school, or are sick.
For generations, New Mexicans have carried a proud tradition of service in our Armed Forces, stepping up whenever our country calls. This Veterans Day and every day, we owe a deep debt of gratitude to these courageous heroes who have sacrificed greatly for every American.
We must uphold our obligation to ensure veterans and their families receive the resources, care, and support they have earned when returning home.

“The FCC is no longer an independent agency” - Danielle Thumann
@SenatorLujan grills FCC nominee on FCC independence. WATCH:

@SenatorLujan promises oversight of the FCC next Congress. WATCH:
Chairman Brendan Carr has weaponized the FCC to serve President Trump instead of the American people.
When Democrats take back the gavels in January, he'll be forced to come before Congress to answer for his abuses of power, political targeting, and cover-ups. The FCC needs real accountability.
Pete Hegseth should have been fired a long time ago.
He’s made a mockery of the office he holds. From the reckless handling of sensitive military information to deadly strikes and unlawful military operations, the controversies keep mounting.

Being a caregiver for my dad, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's last year, has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.
It's my mission to make sure caring for our loved ones becomes easier with more answers, not harder and more expensive.

Rules for thee, but not for me.
This is the most corrupt administration in American history. Period.
It’s time for accountability.
Q: If I said Joe Biden is the part owner of a company and it has all of these investments from the Middle East, you would say that sounds corrupt, right?
Trump: Well, he did have a lot of different things.
Q: Sure, but why is it different for you?
Trump: Because I know nothing about it. I made a lot of money before.
Q: But then why do you need the money? Why not just divest, walk away?
Trump: I do.
Q: No, you didn’t.
Trump: I have a company. My sons are in the company. It’s hard to say to them, don’t do anything anymore for four years because I’m president.
Q: But you could divest from the company yourself and let them do whatever they want. That’s all. You’re not, like, sitting in the Oval Office thinking, Thank God I have that $50 million in World Liberty Financial, right?
Trump: How do you divest from cash?
Q: Do you think the people—the people who are investing in the company that you co-own with your sons, who are coming from foreign countries, who want things from your government—don’t you think they think that they are buying influence?
Trump: I don’t know, but that’s true. Look, every president has a problem. You have people, and they work for you. And guys like you cover them, and you do profiles on them, and they become like everybody thinks that Trump loves them and everything else, which in some cases is true and some cases are not.
This is true for every president, going back to George Washington.
Q: Every president has not owned a cryptocurrency company, however.
Trump: But they own something, whatever crypto was at the time. Okay, you know, there’s crypto. And before that, there was oil. Okay. And every president has had this problem.
I voted against advancing the permitting reform bill today after hearing serious concerns from New Mexicans across the state, especially our Pueblo and environmental leaders.
Making it easier to build clean energy and critical infrastructure projects is important, but we must address these concerns before moving forward. I remain committed to working with my colleagues to make meaningful improvements and get this right.
President Trump is once again spreading lies about our elections in a desperate attempt to cling to power.
We saw where these lies led on January 6. Americans made their voices heard at the ballot box, and their votes must be respected. No president is above the will of the American people.
President Trump and Congressional Republicans took food out of the mouths of hungry children, families, seniors, and veterans. They chose to make hunger worse in America rather than end it.
I’ll keep fighting to protect and restore our nation’s food programs. And we’ll continue holding you accountable for the priorities you choose, Mr. President.

As the President cuts health care and drives up prices, he’s spending your hard-earned money on himself.
Senator Ben Ray Luján retweeted
Democrats are going to fight to make life affordable again and that starts by fighting to end the war with Iran and stop Trump's tariffs.
Americans made their voices heard loud and clear this week. They want accountability, an end to corruption, and public servants who put the people they represent ahead of their own interests.
Let’s get to work.
Stephen Miller is the architect of some of the worst and most dangerous of the Trump administration's policies. He should have been fired a long time ago.
Now he’s going to have to go up against one of the strongest Democrat majorities in the Senate and House in recent history. You will be held accountable.

Sending all of my prayers and well wishes to my friend and colleague, @ChrisMurphyCT. I am relieved you are responding to treatment and that it was caught early. Much love, brother, and I know you’ll be back on your feet soon! Stay strong.
San Juan County residents impacted by historic flooding deserve the resources to recover and rebuild. I’m so grateful to our first responders, local officials, and volunteers who have stepped up. I will continue working with local, state, federal, and Tribal partners to deliver the support our communities need.
