Our state's name reflects centuries of Indigenous, Hispanic and Mexican history, & Congressman Gabe Vasquez stands up for New Mexico. Cunningham says Trump can't rename New Mexico, but isn't saying he shouldn't. Is he more concerned about defending New Mexico or staying in Trump's good graces?

If a policy helps people have a chance to thrive, not just survive, Lori Martinez, candidate for New Mexico HD37 supports it. Her top legislative priority for 2027? Paid medical leave. Her opponent’s answer? “No response.” Lori talks about representing this district here: tinyurl.com/2u85nfhs

Mr. President, our state is not yours to rename. Our history is not yours to erase. Our culture and identity run deep, shaped by generations of New Mexicans long before you or the U.S. were here at all. We are proud of who we are and where we come from. Because we are New Mexicans.

a grandmotherly woman just got booted from the Trump rally for protesting, and she went out like a hero talking trash and flipping the double bird

When Donald Trump called our state “New America,” Greg Cunningham didn’t say a word.He is so desperate for Trump’s approval that he won’t even defend his own state. Gabe Vasquez is a proud New Mexican who won’t let anyone insult the Land of Enchantment. Keep him in Congress! tinyurl.com/3jb3f8by

I'll post more state breakouts tomorrow, but so far in every state I have checked, the Hispanic turnout share exceeds that of 2024. In Minnesota, total Hispanic turnout has exceeded the same point in 2024 as well.

How insane is this? When Democrats retake the government in 2029, they are going to need an ambitious agenda. Whatever else is on it, overturning Citizens United needs to be at the very top.
