Rest in power, old man. ✊🏽

Moms in Congress just took on Speaker Johnson and won! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 “We’re changing the way that Congress works, making sure that moms and parents have a voice,” Pettersen said.

New Mexico House Democrats condemn political violence in all of its forms. We are grateful that no one was hurt in this senseless act. We appreciate law enforcement’s swift response and expect that those responsible will be held accountable. www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...

Transformative investments in transitional housing for our city/county. Big props to my House colleagues for their hard work on this. LFG! 💪🏾

Grateful to Chair Nathan Small & the House Appropriations and Finance Committee for their open, collaborative, and transparent process to build a budget that will have immediate impacts for New Mexicans now, while saving for and investing in our future. We’re leading with compassion and conviction!

Musk, Trump and Project 2025 are working hard to kill American energy jobs. Net result will be higher energy bills. www.canarymedia.com/articles/off...

No one should have to make 10 calls to find an appointment when they need behavioral health care, and that’s the reality that we are trying to change. Senate Bill 1 provides a sustainable, long-term funding source so we can meet New Mexicans’ needs today, and for many years to come.

Yesterday, the House passed a bill to let New Mexican service industry workers keep all the money from the tips they earn. HB 22 would prohibit employers from deducting credit card fees from workers’ tips.

We’re delivering for you, New Mexico! From lowering the cost of living to making our communities safer, your @nmhousedems.bsky.social have your back. 🫵🏽💪🏾❤️

Tonight, HB8, our public safety package passed the House floor! HB8 is the result of months of work and combines several smart, well-vetted & bipartisan public safety measures. This is a strong first step this session toward making New Mexico safer for all.

Thank you for fighting the good fight, @senatorheinrich.bsky.social @nmhousedems.bsky.social will continue to push for state policies that make life more affordable for NM’s families. The plutocracy can’t stop us.

I joined @fernandez.house.gov and @senatorheinrich.bsky.social to demand answers from Postmaster General DeJoy about the Chimayó Post Office. After two years, it’s unacceptable that no action has been taken to rebuild. The Chimayó Post Office must be rebuilt now.

HB 8: ✅Creates paths to appropriate treatment for folks in the criminal justice system ✅Enhances penalties for fentanyl trafficking, shooting threats at schools & repeat car theft ✅Bans devices to convert guns to automatic weapons ✅Tightens DWI laws

HB8, our public safety package, is headed to the House Floor. This bill brings together well-vetted proposals that reflect the input of law enforcement, community leaders & everyday New Mexicans. Along w/ investments in behavioral healthcare, HB8 can help make New Mexico safer.

The Senate Education Committee unanimously advanced a proposal to overhaul oversight of university boards of regents in New Mexico Wednesday.

We’re making like affordable for YOU! Let’s go New Mexico! 🫵🏽🫶🏽💪🏾❤️

By guaranteeing and funding the right to early childhood education, New Mexico eliminated one of the biggest expenses for many families. A family with a 4-year-old & an infant in full-time care can now save around $23,000 on childcare per year.

Hosted dinner for our amazing cleaning crew this week. These are the people who keep the roundhouse moving. My mom & dad clean offices for a living too, so this one is personal for me. To me, these folks are not invisible. These folks are the reason I do the work that I do. ❤️💪🏾

#TrumpTarriffs are already raising prices. The price of a case of large avocados jumped $20 this week.🧐🥑 While the chaos in Washington continues, your NM House Dems are focused on delivering practical solutions that make life better and more affordable for you & your family.

ICYMI: Speaker @javierfornm.bsky.social spoke with Daniel Chacon for the @thenewmexican.bsky.social's new podcast “Around the Roundhouse.” Speaker laid out House Dems’ priorities, which are already moving quickly through the Roundhouse. www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...

New jobs report one of the worst since COVID - 143,000 jobs created. So far under Trump: - GDP growth has slowed - Job growth has slowed - Inflation has risen - Destructive tariffs loom - Fed did not cut interest rates - GOP econ plans will explode the deficit

Never pass up an opportunity to try the chicharrones and red chile from a matanza, even when you happen to be wearing a tan suit. Thank you to the gracious volunteers from Valencia County for feeding so many folks at the Roundhouse today!

We’ve built a movement that is radically compassionate and unapologetically hopeful. New Mexico is well on its way toward the promised land. This people powered movement will not stop. We are our ancestors’ wildest dreams.

NM’s immigrant community showed up today. We are your cooks, your housekeepers, your construction workers, & yes we are also your Speakers of the House, your congresspeople and your city councilors. Maybe one day we’ll be your Governors and that little guy next to me may one day be your President.

It was great hosting former HUD Secretary @juliancastrotx.bsky.social at the Roundhouse a couple of weeks ago. Now leading the Latino Community, Sec. Castro is helping build the next generation of Latino leadership. Adelante!

Rare weekend off during legislative session. Made some bomb chilaquiles for bkfast then worked on the old truck. Supporting Canadian & Mexican beer brands today-because those beers are about to get more expensive. Also, the almost 7qts of oil I bought for the oil change were pricey. #TrumpsTariffa

#TrumpsTariffs will increase your taxes by an average of $670 per household. Thank goodness @nmhousedems.bsky.social have consistently cut taxes for New Mexicans, returning well over $200 million per year to working people.

And wait until he starts his mass deportations. Immigrant workers account for a large share of workers in the oil and gas industry. This will be an economic disaster for New Mexico.

New Mexicans are already feeling the devastating impact of #TrumpTariffs. From avocados to tomatoes, life is about to get more expensive for you. House Democrats will continue to deliver practical solutions to make life more affordable for you. abqjournal-nm.newsmemory.com?publink=029f...

@repgabevasquez.bsky.social is 💯 correct. Mass deportations will damage some of NM’s top economic drivers - including oil and gas, agriculture, and tourism.

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said Tuesday she believes this legislative session will be the one in which lawmakers send to her desk reforms that would connect mental health treatment to people who are accused of crimes, but are unable to stand trial.

Let’s go @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social! What a team and what a win. Let’s go get ‘em KC bros! 🦅

This is dangerous and sick. Why would ICE ask a tribal member for a passport? Why would they suspect them of being on the country illegally? I have my own theory…

Rare day off during legislative session and we’re hitting up the cages! We’re getting ready for another season of good baseball at the North Valley Little League!

Signed, sealed, delivered. This is what legislating looks like. Results, not promises. And we’re just getting started…

The last 2 years as Speaker have been incredibly rewarding - the best part has been meeting New Mexicans from across the state - from Chamberino to Farmington, Grants, Las Vegas and Artesia. I was honored to host a town hall in Las Cruces yesterday with our southern NM delegation.

@javierfornm.bsky.social on the resignation of state Rep. Jared Hembree, R-Roswell: "Although Rep. Hembree only served a short time, he served the people of his district honorably and with a great deal of professionalism. Sending prayers and good energies his way."

And we wonder why people have little faith in their public institutions. Shame on the regents and this man’s enablers today and over the years. I promise you, we will be looking VERY closely at WNMU’s budget request this legislative session. www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...

Great Saturday supporting small local biz - the best flower shop in town Sunshine Flowers & the best meat market in town Nelson’s! Nelson’s chicharrones were as always incredible and then enjoyed some high school 🏈. Congrats to the Cleveland Storm on a big win!

Fried turkey, mashed potatoes and red chile. Tomorrow, chicharrones. 💪🏾🫡 ❤️ Puro Nuevo Mexico!

Professor Fred Harris was one of the giants I so often speak of when I talk about the giants on whose shoulders we stand. He leaves behind a legacy that will live on forever. He lived a life full of purpose. Fred Harris…PRESENTE!

As more NM journos arrive here, perhaps this resource will help…

Working New Mexicans are better off because we’re cutting taxes and making healthcare and child care more affordable. #nmleg

We have to do better. In NM we’re putting more $ in the pockets of working people than ever before by lowering taxes, & making healthcare, childcare & college affordable. We’ve also invested in technical education so that all our kids can follow their dreams- be it becoming a doctor or a plumber.

We won’t sit idle. We know what’s up. 💪🏾 NM Democrats are gonna keep delivering for working people.👊🏽 From lowering your taxes to making your healthcare more affordable, 47 ain’t got nothing on us. 🫵🏾 Oh yea, and he better not overstep. Not here in Nuevo México. Because we will fight back.✌🏽 SJM

Looking forward to some good trouble with these incredible leaders and friends. We will continue to deliver for NM’s workers - from tax relief for workers and small businesses to building an economy that works for all Nuevo Mexicanos. PURO NUEVO MEXICO! 😎

The Biden administration moved on Thursday to downgrade marijuana from the most restrictive category of drugs. It’s a significant shift, even as it does not legalize the drug. Here’s what that means.

This last week I rode along with the ABQ Police Department in their helicopter during their morning patrol. Big thanks to the men and women who keep us safe day in and day out.
