We have researchers in NM looking into everything from forest ecology to cybersecurity. New Mexico was definitely best in show at the 2026 NSF EPSCoR Summit. ❤️❤️🏆 @sfccnm.bsky.social @unm.edu @nmsu-engr.bsky.social @nmtech.bsky.social @senatorsoules.bsky.social

I endorse Lori Martinez in the Dem primary election for New Mexico State Representative, District 37. I have known and worked with Lori for many years and we need her advocacy for children in Santa Fe. If you agree, please forward this to others.

I endorse Angela Garcia in the Dem primary for Dona Ana County Commissioner. Her focus on children will ensure the county is looking toward a future for everyone. If you agree, please forward this to others.

New Mexico’s primary election is June 2nd. I have a couple of endorsements to make in contested contests. I endorse Deb Haaland or Governor. She has been in Congress, was Secretary of the Interior, and will make a fine governor dedicated to moving New Mexico forward. Forward if you agree.

I have a simple question. Should convicted felons spend time in jail?

I’m going to be on KRWG public radio this afternoon from 4 to 6. It’s double up Monday and a great time to show your support for public radio where every contribution doubles. NPR is my trusted source for news, stories. And quality programming.

Every Democratic Candidate need to start every campaign speech with "Donald Trump made over 4 billion last year off his Presidency, how'd you all do?"

Jasmine Crockett is a class act. 💙

Here is Hillary Clinton’s opening statement to House Oversight on Epstein. Clinton says she does not recall ever encountering Epstein and says she knew nothing about his crimes. She also says that Trump should testify under oath and criticizes the committee for not holding any public hearings.

This is my 14th session of the NM Legislature. Every session seems to have a personality. Some sessions were “la-de-da”, some were contentious with legislators fighting over everything. So far this session feels like the “hope and possibility” session. Everything still seems possible.

The 2026 NMLegislative Session starts on Tuesday. I spent Friday at Organ Mt. High School (where I retired from teaching). The students ask great questions and are concerned about their future. They remind me why I am in Santa Fe for the next month and who I try to represent. I’m ready for session.

As the year ends, let me thank public school teachers who, under difficult circumstances, are doing their best to educate our kids. If this country is to flourish, we need the best education system in the world. Let’s fight for a nation where teachers are well-paid & respected.

This NYPD cop has more backbone than all of Congress.

When I look at the cuts being made to the VA health care system, I’m ashamed of what this body is doing.

Hey rest of the United States!Head’s up! New Mexico oilman Steve Pearce is going to be nominated to lead the BLM. Millions of acres of pristine BLM land is vulnerable to mining & oil exploitation. Unleashed Steve will destroy our public lands. Call your reps and senators and block his appointment.

We are calling on Speaker Johnson to bring the House back and ensure we pay our troops on time — and I’m leading the charge.

Come teach in New Mexico. We appreciate teacher who can think.

They are trying to make people afraid to point out the murderous violence that Republicans are inflicting on this country. They can fire who they wish. But the stench, the utter moral rot of what these cowards are doing to people, will cling to them for the rest of their lives.
