Happy #SmallBusinessSaturday!

The vast majority of businesses in New Mexico are small businesses—which are the backbone of our communities and employ our people.

Every single one of us knows a local entrepreneur or small business owner.

Maybe that person is even you!

We love our furry friends! Every year thousands of cats and dogs end up in shelters across New Mexico. That’s why we are so grateful for Animal Humane NM and other shelters who care for them on their way to their forever homes.

Is DOGE dead?

Whatever it is—we know it has left a legacy of damage and destruction in its wake—and we are ready to pivot to a politics of hope!

Join us and share your ideas as we reimagine not only the fight for our democracy, but also how to restore our country and the work ahead!

Heartbroken to learn of the shooting of two National Guardsmen in our nation’s capital. Sending our prayers to our service members and their loved ones. 💔

This year, as part of our week of thanks, we volunteered at @animalhumanenm.bsky.social. In times like these, it’s so important to do things that give back and bring joy!

These furry constituents are looking for their forever homes. Thank you, Animal Humane NM, for loving them in the meantime. 🐾❤️

Friends, help protect Chaco Canyon! Here’s what you can do:

- Call your members of Congress and urge them to sign onto the Chaco Cultural Heritage Area Protection Act!
- Call the Department of the Interior at 202-208-3100 and the White House at 202-456-1111 and tell them to protect Chaco Canyon!

Let’s be clear: I’m all for permitting reform & modernizing our infrastructure. I’m not for gutting environmental laws & the rights of our frontline communities.

NEPA exists to make sure there’s a backstop to protect our lands, waters, sacred sites, and communities.

ICYMI: The GOP is trying to pass Permitting Reform legislation that would gut protections for Tribes and communities to oppose strip mining and oil and gas drilling.

These lands have been protected by Tribal treaty rights since the 19th Century. How is this America First?

So, Congress is on fire 🔥 (or at least the subway) which seems like such a metaphor for the week doesn’t it? ⬇️

And yet, he indicated he did—and then the White House defended it.

This is not ok.

Is this America First? Taking away the rights of American Tribal Nations and communities—to prioritize the profits of foreign mining companies?

Here’s what our friends across the aisle had to say. ⬇️

This Transgender Day of Remembrance, I want to honor every trans life we’ve lost and send love to all who may be mourning today.

May their memories be a blessing and a reminder that we must continue to combat hate and build a world where every person can live as their true, authentic self. 🩵🩷🤍

The truth is simple—justice for survivors is not a partisan issue.
For decades, the justice system has failed those abused by Epstein and his associates.

Congress has a responsibility to pursue truth, justice, and accountability—wherever that leads.

And, we must ensure this never happens again.

It’s time to get back to work for the American people! Stop attacking healthcare, our communities, and basic decency. Let’s fix the system and address housing, food, healthcare, and basic human dignity. This is what we were elected to do!

The Epstein survivors have been telling their stories for years, but many have been threatened, discounted, and had their cases swept under the rug to protect the rich and powerful.

It’s time for these cases to come into the light! We won’t leave any stone unturned.
Rep. Stansbury: We won't let up until there is justice for the Epstein survivors!
