Given the committees that I have served on, I have seen a lot of real terrorists. Their glove compartments don’t look like this… As a dad, I feel sick to my stomach.

The video of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis is incredibly disturbing. A full and impartial investigation is urgently needed. My thoughts are with Renee Good's family. Our government should not be deploying ICE in ways that make our neighborhoods and communities less safe.

Roberto Mondragón was a New Mexican through and through. He left an indelible impact on New Mexican politics and was a keeper of New Mexico’s history and cultural traditions. He may be gone, but his legacy will live on. My thoughts are with his family.

Today we remember one of the darkest days in our nation's history and thank the police officers who stood the line and defended our democracy. My full statement on five years since January 6, 2021:

Happy Birthday, New Mexico! On this day in 1912, New Mexico officially became the 47th (and greatest) state.

Venezuela has legitimately elected leadership in Gonzalez and Machado and they should run the country, not Trump.

Let's stand up for the things we care about and make 2026 a whole lot better than 2025.

Wishing everyone in New Mexico and across the country a happy new year!

New Mexicans are resilient, tenacious, and committed to the people and places we love. That spirit has guided me throughout the year to fight for them at every turn. And it’s what will guide me through the fights ahead in 2026. It’s an honor to serve them in the U.S. Senate.

Some wins to be proud of this year: ✅ Finally extending RECA coverage to Downwinders ✅ Passing my HALT Fentanyl Act ✅ Passing the Orphan Cures Act ✅ Passing the Aerial Firefighting Enhancement Act

This year, our team in New Mexico handled 1,760 constituent cases, getting over $22 million back into the hands of our New Mexican neighbors and communities.

Glad funding from my Bipartisan Safer Communities Act will once again ensure students have the mental health support they need to thrive. This funding should have never been taken away in the first place.

Happy Holidays, New Mexico!

No one believes this is about national security. This is Trump’s war on cheap, clean power. Electricity costs are going to soar and good union jobs will suffer.

Because it's clean and cheaper and faster to build!

Trump’s assault on clean energy sinks permitting reform. There is no path to a bill if this administration refuses to follow the law. Trump will own higher electricity prices, aging infrastructure, & loss of U.S. competitiveness. @whitehouse.senate.gov & @heinrich.senate.gov's statement:

The Roadless Rule was established after extensive public input and community support. So why is the Trump Administration rushing to rescind it?

Six years ago today.

Eleven years ago, The Columbine-Hondo Wilderness Area was designated part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. It's one of New Mexico's most treasured places, and vital to our outdoor recreation economy. New Mexicans made sure it was protected for generations to come.

Sen. Heinrich: The Continental Divide Trail is part of the Triple Crown of Hiking and brings visitors from around the world to climb the spine of the North American continent. For many New Mexicans, it's their local trail where they walk their dog or spend time with their families.

Missing the deadline = breaking the law.

Trump said he’d lower costs on Day One.  Instead, the average family has paid almost $1,200 more this year because of his tariffs.

It's hard to believe, but we're having the public lands sell-off fight all over again.

Glad we passed the defense authorization bill. It supports service members, invests in NM’s military installations, strengthens national labs and environmental clean-up. It also includes my bills to reimburse military families for medical travel and honor Trinity downwinders.

Very proud to have delivered the funding for @nmdoj.bsky.social to purchase these NIBIN machines, which will allow law enforcement to solve crimes and make our communities safer.

There's a real crisis out there, and people need to know that their public lands are at risk.

New video from longtime park leaders outlines the crisis facing NPS: a 24% staffing loss in 10 months. It’s simple: we’re calling for reversing this and sustained congressional support. Our parks and those who steward them require it. Now. youtu.be/45CEw25WVS8

If you want to know why your health care premiums are going through the roof, look at Republicans in Congress.

People should be able to afford their health care. It's that simple. We just voted on extending the tax credits that would prevent premiums from skyrocketing for over 20 million Americans who rely on the ACA. Every Democrat voted for it. Republicans blocked it.

Turns out the Grinch didn’t need to steal Christmas…Trump’s affordability crisis handled it for him.

I’m grateful to the Presbyterian Church and the New Mexico Land Conservancy for their work to preserve this iconic New Mexico landscape. I suspect Georgia O’Keeffe is smiling down on these efforts.

On August 22, 2025, the Trump administration issued a stop work order on Revolution Wind, a 704 megawatt offshore wind farm off the coasts of Rhode Island and Connecticut. This video shares the stories of union members that were impacted by the shut down. 💨✊🍞🌹🌹 #SolidarityIsAVerb #offshorewind

Rest assured folks...when this President is relegated to the dustbin of history, MLK Day and Juneteenth will not only have free National Park admission, but will once again occupy places of pride in our nation's history.

Working families need and deserve access to affordable health care. They need us to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.

There is no better idea than the National Park Service, and it should be the premier park agency in the world. I’ll keep fighting to protect the parks and the people who take care of them.

Some places are simply too unique and important to sacrifice.

I look forward to welcoming you to the Pecos Valley, Mr. French.

The year was 1947. My dad was 16. And some group of jackasses were trying to sell off our public land. This fight is not new, but this is our turn. Failure is not an option.

Turkeys were brined and smoked, bread was broken, wild mushroom gravy was spilled. My woodpile was replenished and I caught up with friends and family. Now, last years’ goose breasts are slowly becoming pastrami. With all the craziness in DC, I’m not sure that I could ask for a better Thanksgiving!

Small Business Saturday would be a great day for Trump to repeal his reckless tariffs that are crushing small businesses in New Mexico and across the country.

Let’s talk turkey: Your Thanksgiving dinner costs more this year than last year. Almost everything costs more this year than last year thanks to Trumpflation–resulting in an average household income loss of $1,700 for 2025.

I fought hard for these incentives. So remember, small acts of resistance are deeply meaningful. If you want to electrify your home, act now before these credits go away. Your health, your wallet, and New Mexico’s economy will thank you.

Mr. Secretary, you seem confused. Mark Kelly was defending the Constitution. That’s leadership and you should try it. This is an insurrection…

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.

Through Hunters Helping the Hungry, hunters can donate wild game meat to neighbors in need. I commend NMDGF, Roadrunner, Food Depot, Honest Processing, and Padilla’s Meat Cutting and Processing for thinking outside the box and finding a way to help.

Earlier this week I met with IBEW Local Union 611 leaders to discuss permitting reform to open new clean energy projects that create good-paying union jobs. I'm grateful for their partnership and will continue fighting for policies that support New Mexico’s workforce.

Chaco Canyon is one of the most important living cultural landscapes on the planet and we have long called for its permanent protection. It's not about the past–it’s about the generations to come. I’ll continue to fight for it because it is a place worth protecting.

Red chile lamb enchiladas at IPCC restaurant.

This isn’t going to go away. It’s not about party politics, it’s about affordability. People should be able to afford their health care.
