Using science and facts in hopes of building a better world ....

[Senator Ben Ray Luján @SenatorLujan]

It’s been a humbling experience serving New Mexico’s 3rd Congressional District for the last decade. There are few jobs where you’re lucky enough to see the impact of your work on your neighbors and community.

@ArcticEnergyDOE Hmmm. One half of the entire surface area of the Earth lies between +30 deg latitude and -30 deg latitude. So the fraction of surface area between +30 lat and the North Pole is 25%. Pushing the Arctic boundary!

🌎#SolvingTheClimateCrisis will allow us to build a healthy, resilient & just America for generations to come.

It can also put Americans back to work in clean energy jobs, as we rebuild our economy & make it stronger than ever.

Let's get to work. 💪 https://t.co/u5ighmepNV

It is crazy to invest in basic research and not use those discoveries to make better decisions.

[Brennan Center @BrennanCenter]

The need for protecting government science goes beyond climate science and national security. Just about everything we do in society depends in some way on research and data coming out of the federal government. https://t.co/xwuSZqCtoS

How is reconstituting ISIS, abandoning the Kurds, and green lighting a slaughter by the Turks not our concern? #questionsreaganwouldask

My chief of staff, Angela Ramirez, was featured on a @politico panel this evening to discuss how female leaders are changing the dynamics in the U.S. House. I’m so proud of her and all her hard work, and I’m thankful for her advice and counsel each and every day #proudboss

@MichaelaTHF - New START and the Future of U.S. National Security - Aren't treaties with untrustworthy partners the most important kind of treaties? This is why President Reagan's use of "trust, but verify" resonated with Americans - the latter makes the former irrelevant.

[Senator Ben Ray Luján @SenatorLujan]

When it comes to climate, the changes we’re seeing in New Mexico are extreme & dangerous - and unless we take equally as extreme & drastic actions to solve the #ClimateCrisis, the consequences will be dire.

[Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham @GovMLG]

I'm glad to see that the move to zero-emission energy sources is gaining national momentum! As states like New Mexico lead the national conversation and take action to combat climate change, it's crucial that federal legislation follows suit.

[Jason Grumet @JasonGrumet]

While many in Congress seem fixated on climate “messaging,” it’s encouraging to see @SenTinaSmith & @repbenraylujan’s CES bill start a substantive debate about a potential climate solution.

[Senator Ben Ray Luján @SenatorLujan]

New Mexicans understand how important our national laboratories are for our economy and education opportunities. I was proud to visit the @LosAlamosNatLab yesterday to hear more about their work & how I can continue to advocate for our labs.

[WildEarth Guardians @wildearthguard]

ICYMI: @SenatorTomUdall, @MartinHeinrich, @repbenraylujan, @RepDebHaaland introduce legislation to protect #Chaco, groups rejoice!

It is vital that we pursue clean and renewable energy technologies to curb the impacts of climate change. Today, I discussed how we can advance clean energy and decrease emissions through federally funded innovation with Former Secretary of Energy Dr. Ernest Moniz.

✓ Climate change
✓ Clean drinking water
✓ Conservation
✓ Environmental protection

I’m humbled to be recognized as a leader on these issues and more by @LCVoters, who gave me a 97% score on their 2018 #LCVScorecard.

When it comes to infrastructure investments, the President can’t just talk the talk tonight, he needs to walk the walk. We need comprehensive investments in our roads, bridges, and broadband infrastructure to meet the demands of our 21st-century economy. #SOTU

[Senator Ben Ray Luján @SenatorLujan]

Today, I joined advocates in New Mexico to discuss #HR1 - our plan to make it easier, not harder to vote. H.R. 1 will end the days of long lines, shoddy voting machines, shady voter suppression schemes, and Republican efforts to purge voter rolls.

[Senator Ben Ray Luján @SenatorLujan]

Today I joined @HouseDemocrats in introducing #HR1, the #ForThePeopleAct, a historic reform package to restore the promise of our nation's democracy, end the culture of corruption in Washington, and reduce the role of money in politics.

Capitol workers hang the new @SpeakerPelosi sign at the entrance to Pelosi's office.

[Suzanne Bonamici @RepBonamici]

Climate change is a national security issue. Climate variability and extreme events can exacerbate conflict, displace populations, damage infrastructure, and result in food insecurity. This all has implications for the U.S. military. #NCA4 #ClimateCrisisCountdown

[Senator Ben Ray Luján @SenatorLujan]

The bipartisan #FirstStepAct that passed the House today makes much-needed reforms to America’s criminal justice system, including important improvements to address mass incarceration and mandatory minimums.
