Things are stalled out here on the House Floor as Trump tries to arm twist and get Freedom Caucus members onboard with massive deficit spending…
So, @RepLSimon and I took the opportunity to break down what big ugly bill means for the hard working people of our communities.
With Trump’s big abomination of a bill, more than 17 MILLION Americans could lose healthcare coverage.
In New Mexico, thousands of our friends and neighbors will lose coverage.
This is unconscionable.
Friends, I’m on my way back to D.C. to vote a resounding HELL NO on Trump and the GOP’s big abomination of a bill.
While I travel back, I want to share some of the reasons I’m voting NO. This bill is bad for New Mexico and Americans all across the country.
Look, I'm a @Wharton grad and a capitalist, meaning that I believe capitalism and free markets are the most efficient way of distributing goods and services worldwide and providing for the most economic benefits to the maximum number of people. But I'm also a Catholic priest who can see that free markets are not perfect. How can we tell? Just look around and see in even thriving capitalist economies millions of poor people, or, as they were often called at Wharton, the "transitional poor" (as if the poor are with us only until the ultimate flowering of the free-market system). Capitalism and free markets needs safety nets and they also need to be critiqued, regularly. Shutting down those critiques, or pretending that free markets are perfect, helps no one, especially not the poor. But of course who cares about them any longer?
UPDATE: A top federal prosecutor in DC, Denise Cheung, accused acting US attorney Ed Martin and top officials at Main Justice of pressuring her to freeze the assets of an EPA contractor despite the lack "sufficient evidence," in a fiery resignation three-page letter to Martin.
I’m running for Governor of New Mexico.
In Congress and as Secretary of the Interior, I’ve fought for our state. I helped New Mexico
businesses open their doors, secured clean energy jobs, and worked to bring water and infrastructure projects to rural communities.
Now, it's time to tackle our biggest challenges with the fierceness only New Mexicans know. I'm ready to make government work for us – lower costs, better schools, and ensuring every family feels safe and supported.
Join me.

Former Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson endorsed VP Harris: “I’m really proud as a conservative to get to vote for Kamala Harris in this election…there may be issues we don't see eye to eye on. But the character of our leaders really matters too…”
In a sort of tongue twister, J.D. Vance ends up suggesting that Mexican cartels are the source of firearms in the US when in reality it is American gun stores that sell them.
We don't have gun shops in Mexico.

FOX News just posted the endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris by former Republican White House lawyers who served in The White House under Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush. I am proud to join my colleagues and friends in this endorsement.
