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.

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. 🏳️‍⚧️

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
