HANDS OFF OUR PUBLIC LANDS! Right now, Senate Republicans are trying to sneak language into Reconciliation that would sell off millions of acres of public lands.

The American people are clear—they do not want the U.S. dragged into another endless war.

Pride is a celebration! This week we’re excited to present our first coffee table concert with “A Band Named Sue”—reclaiming space in country and bluegrass right here in Albuquerque. Thank you to Adrian, Dair, Carmela, Persephone, and Beck for sharing your story and bringing us joy this week. ❤️

The U.S. Constitution is clear: the authority to declare war sits solely with Congress. President Trump may not declare war or engage in offensive military action without the explicit consent of the United States House of Representatives and Senate.

To all our veterans out there—thank you for your service! Every day we’re working to protect the VA and veteran services, to expand healthcare and housing, and to support our veterans through our case work.

I think this says everything we need to know about this Administration ⬇️

Happy Juneteenth everyone! Juneteenth is both a celebration and a reminder that we must continue to fight for freedom for Americans and all people! ❤️🖤💚

Happy Juneteenth, NM! Today and every day, we celebrate Black culture, joy, and community. We also commit ourselves to the continuing work of ensuring justice, freedom, equality, and the realization of the American promise for all. #BlackHistoryisAmericanHistory #BlackHistoryisNewMexicoHistory

We’re pounding the pavement doing town halls, seminars, meeting with constituents and celebrating our communities histories and resilience. Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Veterans Town Hall and our Know Your Rights seminar. If you missed the KYR seminar, you can watch it here:

Today’s SCOTUS decision is heartbreaking for our trans community. We cannot lose hope. We must keep fighting. I am proud to be from a state where we have protected LGBTQ+ and trans rights in statute and will continue to fight every step of the way at the national level. 🏳️‍⚧️

A beautiful night celebrating LaDonna Harris for her lifetime of leadership and advocacy and my dear friend Alvin Warren for his incredible leadership in philanthropy. Thank you to Natives Americans in Philanthropy & Hispanics in Philanthropy for doing the work every day to create change. 🙏

Our communities deserve access to healthcare. That means ensuring there are pipelines for doctors, nurses, and others to serve. This is especially true in Tribal communities. So grateful for Dr. Adriann Begay, a leader and mentor who came to help us reintroduce our new bill.

Another big win in the courts for the American people! Protect our healthcare. Protect science. Protect our people. Proud to have joined the Congressional amicus brief in support of this case!

It’s summer in New Mexico — and we’re celebrating the beauty and wins in our communities, even as we’re fighting for our democracy, our rights, and the future. Join us this week in Albuquerque! And, share what is making you feel hopeful this week below. 🌺

We must do everything we can to protect mothers and infants. That’s why I proudly cosponsored the Maternal and Infant Syphilis Prevention Act. I am proud to be helping lead legislation to ensure women and babies in New Mexico get the care and treatment they deserve.

Friends, we’ve got some more Town Halls coming up in the next few days! Join us! RSVP here: linktr.ee/repstansbury

Happy Pride! Every day, we celebrate the people and places in our community. Earlier this month, we visited Snapdragon Tea to hear their story and celebrate their success as a local LGBTQ+ business in Albuquerque! Thank you Vanessa and Kitt for sharing your story! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩵🤍🩷

Thank you all for another amazing town hall! And thank you to our amazing co-host City Councilor Nichole Rogers and special guests Mayor Keller, Senator Pope Jr., Rep. Anaya, and Councilor Baca As always, Albuquerque you show up with your full hearts, grit, determination, and hope. ❤️

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and father figures out there! I hope you all have the best day. ❤️

There is a lot going on in our country today. I know many are feeling uncertain and scared —but know that we stand with you and to stand in your truth and in your power. We are in this together and we will get through. They cannot take away our voices, our rights, or our joy. ❤️

We love our veterans! These are our real American heroes. Honored to welcome home our New Mexico Honor Flight Veterans in Albuquerque yesterday after they spent the week in our nation’s capital. Thank you for your service! Grateful to welcome you home. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

Friends, we’ve got some more Town Halls coming up in the next few days! Join us! RSVP here: linktr.ee/repstansbury

We will hold the Trump Administration accountable for the assault against Senator Padilla. We are here holding the line and fighting back — for every person in this country. For our democracy.

A federal judge issued an order late Thursday blocking President Trump from deploying members of the California National Guard in Los Angeles, and ordered the administration to return control of the forces to Gov. Gavin Newsom. Follow live updates. trib.al/GYviSzG

Here in America, there are no kings. ⬇️

This is what abuse of power looks like. Hands off U.S Senator @padilla.senate.gov No one is above the law, Secretary Noem. We will not stand quietly by while the Trump Administration attacks our communities and Members of Congress. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Are we in a sci-fi movie? Is this the Twilight Zone? Unfortunately, it’s worse. Not only is our data at risk due to DOGE and the Administration—but Congress itself is currently trying to deregulate AI and data privacy protections across the country in the big abomination of a bill.

Today marks the anniversary of the Equal Pay Act—a landmark moment in the fight for gender equality. But let’s be clear: the work isn’t done. In New Mexico and across the country, women—especially women of color—earn much less for the same work. I will never stop fighting for equality for all.

After Trump’s breakup with Musk—we cannot get distracted from the reality that they are trying to take away healthcare and food assistance and deploying the military in our communities. I will always stand with the people—whether it’s in NM, DC, or across our communities.

One thing is clear: the Trump Administration is abusing their power and threatening the safety of the American people. From breaching national security to deploying the military against our communities, I want to remind everyone: this. is. not. normal.

This ⬇️ is good news for democracy.

A message to our immigrant communities. ❤️

Anyone feeling this after last night? 👑🙋‍♀️ Feels more relevant than ever—especially with what’s going on. But, also it’s a reminder of the strength and resilience of the American spirit. Stay strong everyone! #NoKings

Today on World Ocean Day—we celebrate our oceans, which sustain our communities, are home to countless ecosystems, and make our planet livable. We must work every day to protect our oceans, to protect our waters, and to ensure climate resilience and justice for all. 🌊🐠🐙

Just because a guy tweets he’s opposed to a bill that would devastate millions of Americans—does not absolve him from dismantling vital programs, shattering thousands of lives, stealing our data, and breaking the law. Now is not the time to let up the fight in defending our democracy.

Inflaming and provoking violence and division and threatening to deploy military resources against your own people is not a show of strength — it’s abuse of power and a sign of leadership without a moral compass or regard for the law. We are a democracy. We stand strong. You cannot intimidate us.

We need to GET 👏 BIG 👏 MONEY 👏 OUT 👏 OF 👏 POLITICS. Period.

On the anniversary of Griswold v. Connecticut, we must remember that our rights are under attack. As we honor the legacy of this landmark decision on access to birth control, we must continue to defend the fundamental freedoms that grant every person the right to make decisions about their bodies.

SCOTUS ruled that DOGE could access our social security data. But, we don’t know what DOGE and the Administration are doing with our data. What we do know is they’re working with private AI companies to integrate data in ways we’ve never seen before. We must fight this!

Eid Mubarak! Wishing all who celebrate love, light, and many blessings.

Friends, this week was wild. There’s a lot to talk about. But, we must also celebrate the good this week. There’s a lot at stake—but we're in the fight together. Stay strong. And, keep showing up for our communities!

81 years ago, courageous young soldiers faced unimaginable danger to turn the tide of WWII. We honor the bravery and sacrifice of the Allied forces who stormed the beaches of Normandy to stop Hitler and his regime. They remind us that democracy is not guaranteed, and must be protected every day.

This is not government efficiency. This is incompetence.

We’re here for the Elon Musk and Donald Trump breakup drama, but we cannot take our eye off the ball. We must continue to hold Elon Musk accountable for illegally stealing our data, shuttering federal agencies, and firing thousands of federal workers. This is the fight of our generation.

Breakups are hard, especially when they play out in the public sphere. Here’s the tea on what’s happening between Trump and Elon in their messy spat.  But in all seriousness, we need to kill the bill. ⬇️

We’ve got the 👏 receipts 👏 proof 👏 timelines 👏 screenshots 👏 on this messy breakup. The internet lives forever!
