@RepTeresaLF
Working to protect what we love. Mom. Proudly serving New Mexico’s 3rd Congressional District. Chair of the @DemWomenCaucus.
Republicans just voted down my amendment to keep middle class tax cuts and simply remove the billionaire cuts. Don’t let them lie and tell you this is about “no tax on tips.”
Congratulations to Dr. Shelly C. Lowe on being named the next president of IAIA! She's a fantastic pick and an exceptional educator. I admired her work at @NEHgov, where she uplifted stories of all communities impacted by COVID and helped America celebrate its shared humanity.…
We know the truth. Here’s the report: govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GP…. Now that that’s cleared up, maybe you can answer why you aren’t following the law and hanging the plaque honoring the brave officers that defended you and the Capitol that day.
Today, @RepLoudermilk introduced a resolution to establish a new select subcommittee dedicated to uncovering the FULL TRUTH of what happened on January 6th. House Republicans have made GREAT progress in exposing the false narratives from the previous select committee, but there…
We’re going to get the truth for the victims and hold those guilty accountable.
DEMOCRATS SUCCESSFULLY SUBPOENAED THE EPSTEIN FILES. Thanks to @RepRobertGarcia, @RepSummerLee, @RepPressley, @RepLSimon, & @RepWesleyBellMO, Pam Bondi must release the files to Congress. Oversight Dems will keep holding Trump accountable & delivering for the American people.
Three years after Hermit’s Peak, the Forest Service lost control of another managed fire in NM. 16,000 acres scorched. Livestock killed. Livelihoods destroyed. How can our communities trust their decisions when history keeps repeating itself? The Forest Service must do better…
Shocker.
BREAKING WSJ: The Justice Department told Trump in May that his name is in the Epstein files. Many other high-profile figures were also named, Trump was told. wsj.com/politics/justi…
🚨 PSA for RECA-impacted communities: If someone comes to your door saying “we’ll help you file your claim”—be careful. The DOJ has not released official guidance yet. 📅 You have until 2027 to file. We’ll keep you up to date.
“Children tell their parents they want to go to heaven, because at least heaven has food.” That is not exaggeration—it's the reality in Gaza. Mass starvation is not a byproduct of war. It is a method of it. Warehouses of food sit sealed while families starve. Meanwhile, the…
Want to know what the heck is going on in Texas?! Here’s an explainer.
Republicans are running away from DC so they don't have to vote to release the Epstein files....
News - House GOP leaders CANCEL Thursday votes after they lost full control of the floor over Epstein crisis Last votes before lawmakers leave for recess will be 3:30pm tomorrow
The Rules Committee decides what gets voted on in the House. It’s where Republicans have already voted six times against forcing the release of the Epstein files. Now, they’ve shut the committee down just to avoid another vote. They’d rather shut down Congress than vote to…
“We’re done in Rules Committee until September.”
Trump tried to distract us by asking to release grand jury testimony… Here’s why that’s BS:
Republicans are eating your public programs to serve caviar to their billionaire donors. We’re standing with Big Bird—and the public will remember who strangled him.
This is not enough. Keep the pressure up. Here's my response to the President:
President Trump—we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.
They can't hide behind meaningless resolutions. It's simple. Every. Single. One. Voted. No. Watch for yourself:
The Rules Committee is now voting on an actual bill that would force the release of the Epstein documents. Every House Republican voted no. Every Democrat voted yes.
They raised the deficit by $4 trillion to hand out tax breaks to billionaires. Then they try to talk about cutting waste and killing PBS/NPR funding to save money? Give me a break.
Yes, in this moment we must defend women from Trump’s relentless attacks on our safety, rights, and equal opportunities. But we are also demanding a better future and a good life for all women. We will never stop pushing for the policies that make life better for women and for…
In the wake of reconciliation, and as an amended GOP-led rescissions package is set to be voted on in the House, the @DemWomenCaucus shares new policy-related doc outlining their key priorities ⬇️
