Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham issued the following statement after final passage of the Republican budget bill in Congress:
The Republican budget bill is an abomination that abandons working families and threatens the health and well-being of New Mexicans. Their vote to slash funding for health care and child nutrition to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-rich isn’t just bad policy—it’s an outright betrayal.
Make no mistake: this Republican budget will hit New Mexico hard. From cuts to Medicaid funding that keeps our rural hospitals open, to reductions in food assistance for children, to threats against education programs that ensure our kids have a brighter future, this budget puts politics over people. It also amounts to an egregious tax hike on Americans who will pay higher prices for health care, electricity, and other services.
As governor, I will do everything in my power to mitigate harm from this budget, which President Trump and Congressional Republicans foisted on the American people without adequate hearings, debate and transparency. I’m prepared to call a special session if necessary to protect New Mexicans from their fiscal assault.
My administration is going through this budget with a fine-tooth comb, identifying every threat to our state, and we’re going to fight like hell to protect what matters most.
I haven't seen MLG this upset since that girl dropped a house on her sister 90 years ago.
She neglects to mention that Democrats, including all 3 of our representatives, and both Senators, voted for a 68% tax hike.
All of them voted against expanded compensation for down winders.
These 5 great NM champions of the working class also voted against no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on social security, and allowing farmers, ranchers, and small business owners to pass their business to their children.
Even the American version of Pravda, NPR, can't find the cloud in the silver lining; https://www.npr.org/2025/06/28/g-s1-74388/senate-big-beautiful-bill
an extremely sad situation, in which one person was scared, and the other was killed - it is very difficult to imagine reconciling those two facts.
another unfortunate situation where potential errors in information and dispatching, and heightened anxiety on the part of the LEO's lead to a troubling result.
There has been a 700% increase in violence against law enforcement.
While the left is quick to urge compassion for violent criminals, they have shown no such compassion for the brave men and women who are trying to keep the rest of us safe.
John, I have to quantify your statement about ICEstapo incurring a 700% increase in issues. This is an extremely misleading statement. 700% does not give you an exact amount. 7 of 10 or 10000 of 70000 {not exact, just for explanation}, you just don't know the figures.
Sunny, with a high of 96 and low of 72 degrees. Sunny for the morning, partly cloudy during the afternoon, clear for the evening,

where's neighbor john baake - to explain to us that contamination of natural resources really isn't that big a deal....and besides, it's a safe distance from where HE lives.
You must mean thank you to the professional lobbyists, because I'm not finding any professional scientist's or doctors involved in any of these decisions.
of course not - dear leader/elon musk/and the doge boys have cleaned out anyone who had legitimate credentials....nothing left here but worshippers of the orange overlord.
the trump regime is always looking for ways to ****** the rug out from under deserving citizens - so they can stabilize the precarious situation that our poor deserving billionaires find themselves in.
another shout out to our elected state office holders for going to bat for the everyday people of new mexico!
If Senator Martin Heinrich spear headed this legislation, that spear must've ended up in a cow somewhere around Clovis, because it never made it to D.C.
According to the Congressional record, the bill was introduced by Senator Marco Rubio, and co-sponsored by Senator Rick Scott, both of Florida.
another amazingly foolish statement on your part, neighbor.
Gotta love these activists, complaining that the area has passed from defacto control by para-military drug cartels, with orders to shoot anyone they see on site. To control by the US military with orders to warn and detain.
three cheers for the "escalation in the trump administration policy of militarization of the borderlands". most good americans always wanted to live inside a military zone - just like all the germans in post war berlin...and the delightful 38th parallel in korea.
Could it be much worse than living in or next to a national park, forest, or monument? Or even worse, a state park, forest, or wild life reserve?
The Federal and state land grabs have been astronomical in terms of the sheer amount of acreage seized.
