The American people pay these park fees to make improvements at our national parks – but instead the Trump administration illegally diverted them to limit the public relations fallout from its costly and unnecessary government shutdown. Leaving parks open during the shutdown without staff to protect visitor safety and natural and cultural resources was reckless in itself. But now we know the Trump administration went even further by breaking federal law to use fee revenues to soften the public backlash to the disastrous effects of the needless Trump shutdown on our parks and public lands. While we hope that President Trump will not lead us into yet another government shutdown, I hope this GAO decision will convince his Interior Department that using park fees in this way is not a ‘useful model’ for future shutdowns, as they have claimed”

Tom Udall concluded : “This nomination is more filling the swamp by this Administration. More foxes guarding the hen house… I call upon the president to nominate someone who will commit to tackle this issue with the urgency it deserves and to withdraw his shocking veto threat so that innocent farmers like Art can save their families’ livelihoods,”

Tom Udall said ( about Environment Protection ) : “Art’s dairy is ruined. He can’t sell his milk. He can’t sell his cows. He can’t sell his property. He is spending thousands of dollars to maintain his cows and dump the milk. In fact, the PFAS levels in Art’s ground water are 371 times greater than what the Environmental Protection Agency says is safe,”

They hold within them the culture, the history, and the resiliency of Native communities,” “This bill, which honors Esther Martinez’s inspirational legacy for Native languages in New Mexico and across the country, recognizes and supports the important work being undertaken by Tribes and Native communities to maintain and revitalize their languages. I’m proud the Senate joined with the New Mexico delegation to pass this legislation to help carry on Esther Martinez’s advocacy, and I will continue to fight to make sure we get this bill across the finish line and signed into law”

Tom Udall said ( about President Trump ) : “Despite trying and failing to repeal the ACA in Congress over the course of two years, the Trump administration and Republicans are still on their endless crusade to take away health care from hundreds of thousands of New Mexicans – like Rafe and his family – and millions of Americans,” “Make no mistake: this lawsuit is yet another politically-charged attempt by Republicans to sabotage New Mexicans’ health care – this time, via the courts. If it succeeds, the lives of families like Rafe’s would be thrown into chaos as insurance companies are given license to discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions, and countless families lose their insurance or Medicaid coverage This is unacceptable. We should be working together toward commonsense solutions that lower costs and expand quality coverage, not yanking the rug out from under millions of Americans who depend on the ACA to obtain life-saving treatment and critical care. I’ll continue fighting to defend coverage for New Mexico families against these relentless attacks. Every American should have the right to access the health care they need to lead a healthy, productive life”

With racehorse death rates higher than in any other country, the U.S. industry has completely failed to self-regulate its doping and corruption abuses. Legislation to ban doping in horseracing is the meaningful action we need to end the abuse of these iconic animals. Headlines around the country make it clear the future of this sport is in serious doubt, and this may be the last chance for meaningful reform—it’s time for industry leaders to take the blinders off”

And we’ve made real progress to protect women from violence and abuse, especially Native women who face a higher risk of violence and assault, and go missing at higher rates. One of my proudest fights in Congress was leading the effort to include strong protections for Native women in the 2013 VAWA reauthorization. But we must do much more to address gaps in Tribal jurisdiction, and ensure that Tribes have the resources and authority they need to see that Native communities are safe and strong, and that justice is served”

But, there is still much to be done to close the huge gap that exists between resources and needs in schools across Indian Country, and I’ll keep fighting to make sure all Native students can attend schools where they can learn and grow in a positive environment.

Region 6, which provides services to several states including New Mexico, has lost 12 percent of its staff.

The American people pay these park fees to make improvements at our national parks – but instead the Trump administration illegally diverted them to limit the public relations fallout from its costly and unnecessary government shutdown. Leaving parks open during the shutdown without staff to protect visitor safety and natural and cultural resources was reckless in itself. But now we know the Trump administration went even further by breaking federal law to use fee revenues to soften the public backlash to the disastrous effects of the needless Trump shutdown on our parks and public lands. While we hope that President Trump will not lead us into yet another government shutdown, I hope this GAO decision will convince his Interior Department that using park fees in this way is not a ‘useful model’ for future shutdowns, as they have claimed”

If it succeeds, the lives of families like Rafe’s would be thrown into chaos as insurance companies are given license to discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions, and countless families lose their insurance or Medicaid coverage This is unacceptable. We should be working together toward commonsense solutions that lower costs and expand quality coverage, not yanking the rug out from under millions of Americans who depend on the ACA to obtain life-saving treatment and critical care.

It’s long past time that we support all military moms, instead of asking some to choose between caring for their newborns or receiving pay and retirement credits.

With racehorse death rates higher than in any other country, the U.S. industry has completely failed to self-regulate its doping and corruption abuses. Legislation to ban doping in horseracing is the meaningful action we need to end the abuse of these iconic animals.

And we’ve made real progress to protect women from violence and abuse, especially Native women who face a higher risk of violence and assault, and go missing at higher rates. One of my proudest fights in Congress was leading the effort to include strong protections for Native women in the 2013 VAWA reauthorization. But we must do much more to address gaps in Tribal jurisdiction, and ensure that Tribes have the resources and authority they need to see that Native communities are safe and strong, and that justice is served”

Region 6, which provides services to several states including New Mexico, has lost 12 percent of its staff.

We know that hunger can be an insurmountable barrier to success in the classroom. I was proud when New Mexico became the first state in the country to outlaw the practice of lunch shaming, and I will continue to do everything I can in the Senate to pass this legislation on a federal level so no child will have to spend their time at school feeling ashamed of a debt they have no power to pay”
