Rep. Melanie Stansbury

This is not normal.

NM has reopened an investigation into Zorro Ranch and none other than Epstein’s attorney, who we deposed today—helped manage the property. So how is it—that Zorro Ranch was never served a warrant and Epstein’s own lawyer claims they did not know DOJ asked NM to drop its investigation? No one is talking. Files are missing. And the coverup continues.

When asked for a single example of voter fraud to justify the SAVE Act and the millions of people it would disenfranchise—Speaker Mike Johnson couldn’t name one. That’s because the bill isn’t about election integrity – it's about rigging the election for Trump and his friends. That’s why we are a hard no. And, so are the American people.

Our message is clear: Fund TSA. Fund FEMA. Fund the Coast Guard. Pay our federal workers! But not a penny more to ICE.   Republicans are playing games with ICE, refusing even the most basic accountability measures. That’s why we filed legislation this week to get vital programs funded while holding them accountable.   We are not here to play. Not when American lives are on the line.

🚨Articles of Impeachment Filed!🚨 Time and again, Pam Bondi and her DOJ have failed survivors, obstructed justice, lied to the courts, and defied Congress and the law. That’s why I joined @RepSummerLee in filing Articles of Impeachment against AG Bondi. It’s way past time for accountability!

We are putting DOJ on notice. If you do not comply with the law, we will hold you in contempt. Period.

To all the Senate Republicans trying to make the SAVE Act happen, let me say it again: We are NOT 👏 going 👏 to 👏 pass 👏your 👏 voter suppression bill. Period.

No oath No cameras No sworn statements No real answers  No justice in the Epstein Case Just more coverups and a sham briefing with the AG—refusing to answer if she’ll comply with her subpoena.

Stansbury: I just walked out of the briefing room, and what is absolutely clear is that Pam Bondi has no intention of complying with the law and the subpoena that we've issued for her to be deposed under oath in front of the committee.  They said, we've released what we're going to release.

My heart is with the victims who carried the weight of this despicable abuse for so long, including our friend and fierce civil rights advocate Dolores Huerta, whose historic contributions stand on their own.

First and foremost, we stand with and support survivors. Every story is an act of bravery, and we must support them. As a fellow New Mexican, I am sending my love to Dolores Huerta for carrying this pain in silence for 60 years, and to other survivors who have come forward. To every survivor, know that you are seen, you are heard, and we stand with you. To those in the movement who are shaken by these allegations—know that the fight for justice is larger than one man. It is rooted in the struggles of generations of organizers, activists, and leaders who have stood up. But for far too long, those in positions of power have been protected, and abuse has been swept under the rug. The allegations against Cesar Chavez are shocking and horrific, and an example of what can happen when power and abuse go unchecked. Not anymore. The silence stops here. Survivors everywhere deserve justice and accountability.

For 80 years, Downwinders in the Tularosa Basin never got the justice they deserved after the first atomic bomb was tested at the Trinity Site. Today, we are fighting to make sure every downwinder receives compensation through RECA and we never forget by passing H.R. 4290.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Today we’re celebrating all things Irish and the history, culture and leadership of Irish New Mexicans. Because, everyone is a little Irish on St. Patrick’s Day! 💕🇮🇪☘️

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!! 🍀

ICYMI: On Friday, we were honored to join the Pueblo of Santa Ana and HHS in announcing $1 billion in infrastructure investments for the Indian Health Service, including $22 million for a new clinic at Santa Ana—ABQ Indian Health Center West—which will serve Pueblo and Native communities across central New Mexico. This facility is a long time coming. We look forward to working with the IHS Administration to ensure they deliver!

Every day is a new distraction from this Admin—from Venezuela to Iran to covering up the Epstein files. But, we have to stay focused! Even when it’s dark and scary, we are going to get through this and come out stronger on the other side. We must keep fighting for what we know is right. ❤️

Donald Trump just gave the title of Oak Flat—a sacred site to Indigenous communities in AZ and NM—to a “FOREIGN-OWNED” copper mining company. These are public lands that have been protected for generations, as communities have warned mining and drilling would destroy this sacred landscape and drain its waters. Trump’s “America First” is a scam—it never was about putting Americans first, but Trump and his buddies’ pocketbooks. Today is a sad, sad day for the people who have fought to protect this sacred place for generations. We will continue to fight back!

Happy Monday, everyone! This past week was a District Work Week and I’m so grateful for the time back home in NM with all of you! Here’s a recap: from celebrating Women’s History Month, to securing funds for vital housing, healthcare, education, and other community projects across NM, to our work on the Oversight Committee—here’s what’s up and a look ahead for DC this week. ⬇️

Donald Trump is a danger to our country and needs to go—now. He’s launched an unauthorized war with Iran, can’t answer basic questions about a conflict costing more than a billion dollars a day, and left families struggling under out-of-control inflation while handing permanent tax breaks to billionaires. This Administration is taking advantage of the American people, and it cannot continue.

NMDOT is in the House! We love our State leaders —who are doing big things for New Mexico. NMDOT is leading the way in ensuring our communities are safe, promoting public transit and economic development, and preserving our NM landscapes! Thank you for the work you do to keep us safe!
