Farmworkers are the engine of New Mexico’s agricultural economy. That’s why I hosted a roundtable in the Hatch Valley to listen directly to field workers about their challenges and find solutions that benefit the region. When we support rural workers, we build community and keep traditions alive.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Since 1974, vaccines against 14 pathogens — not including COVID, flu, HPV, malaria, & Ebola — have prevented ~154 million deaths. “…in 2024, children aged 10 years are approximately 44% more likely to survive to their next birthday than if no vaccinations had occurred since 1974” Read that again.

When questions about your study sample arise, how do you answer them? - Sift through old emails? - Ask colleagues? - Compare info across different files? A more efficient, and often more accurate method, is to keep an internal participant tracking system. Learn more: datamgmtinedresearch.com/track

Trump's CFPB, now under the command of billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, has halted the Biden admin's rule to ban medical bills from credit reports. It's been estimated that the rule would help improve the credit scores of 15 million people. Some populist, huh?

I remain fascinated by the expanded child tax credit case study & the implications for leftist policymaking. People received REAL financial benefit from it. It drastically cut child poverty rates and it was rescinded without a real fight. I think about this at least once a week.

You say: they shutdown USAID. You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.

I don’t have any Democratic representation at all. So I am calling my Republican representatives and senators every damn day. This is their fault. This is on them. If we all call, we can show them they don’t have a fking mandate. If you have Republican representation, call them. Incessantly.

WHO IS ATTACKING US? There should be a public effort to identify any Musk/DOGE staffers in OMB, Treasury & OPM. Take their photos, badges & get identifying info. This attack cannot be allowed to happen in secrecy. It’s NOT a game. We have a RIGHT to know who is in our computers & private files.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.
