As gun owner, and a Westerner used to making hard decisions here on the ranch…
my low opinion of Kristi Noem sank further when she took the easiest way out for herself, not the animal.
That, believe me, is not the cowboy way.
Hey MAGA...
here's my ranching neighbor/great Democrat Leonard. He's about President Biden's age, and I'm not far behind.
Come work w/us for a day...
see if you can keep up.
(also, bring the decades of hard-knocks experience that taught you how to do the work the right way)
@GregSpeedDC
Remember how
@DavidCornDC
would tweet every day, for years! "Today would be a good day for Donald T**mp to release his tax returns." ?
He never gave up, and in a round-about fashion, it came true...
so, yes, tomorrow would be a great day to abolish the filibuster.
@OPCGhost
Garland's prosecution of the Oklahoma City Bombing proved his discipline, patience and methodical preparation.
It took 2 years to get the McVeigh/Nichols cases ready.
Hey MAGA...
here's my partner in everything - great Democrat Jane.
Together we're over 150yrs old. We work on the ranch everyday, and are doing everything we can to elect

“Only 24% of registered voters are Republicans (G). Only 38% of Rs are MAGA…That means only 9% of voters are making all the noise, riling up all the anger, hatred and fear. That means the other Rs are reachable. That means Ds (Americans) cannot lose if we all vote.”

In the deep red heart of Oklahoma, this woman, this Democrat, just flipped a Republican St House seat…
by 13 points.

One of the highlights this year was watching New Mexico usher in universal free meals for our K-12 students. I would love to see the national version make the highlight reel next year
Today’s To Do: Save Democracy
…CHECK !
(fm the ranch, our round trip to save democracy is 70mi rural pavement + 10mi bad dirt - and every mile is worth it)
Let's not forget how *and why* this whole thing started.
An 11yo boy was senselessly killed. The community screamed
#DoSomething
. The Governor did.
@GovMLG
broke NRA's gun lobby choke hold and took direct action in response to the gun-death emergency that plagues us all.
Once again, a child is shot and killed in Alb. This time it is an 11 year old boy. The truck he was in was sprayed with bullets. A woman in her 20's was also injured.
@methanemadman
Gosh. Just more great reporting fm Scott MacFarlane.
Journalism students, this is reporting. This. Is. News.
Remember, as the 4th Estate, you are a critical part of maintaining our democracy, and Scott is a great example of how to do your job.
Quite a moment in court late in the day. A judge warns about “blind allegiance” in the jail holding Jan 6 defendants. And blasts the types of apologies we are hearing in Capitol riot cases
My latest ====>
An 11yo boy was killed in a senseless shooting.
The community screamed, "Do Something !" and this governor did.
@GovMLG

I would love to see the same outrage from Republicans when a child in New Mexico is killed by gun violence. It is unfortunate they are taking this opportunity to spew NRA talking points instead of proposing meaningful legislative solutions to on how we can make New Mexico safer.
Is New Mexico a great state, or what?!!!
Just look at this powerhouse bunch of NM natives punching far, far above the weight of a state w/less population than the city of Chicago.
Now do oil & gas here in Texas and NM!
You can't get a well drilled, completed or maintenance/reset work done w/o immigrant labor.
Did you think those fat, white rednecks were up in the derrick on a workover rig? Down in the ditch when the pipeline blows out?
#OilyHypocrites
MORE: Legally, the dairy industry would have trouble surviving without immigrant labor. Walter Moore, a dairy farmer in New York State who is a leader in the field, has described the labor shortage as severe.
"The gunman, reportedly seen earlier in the day sporting a red “Make America Great Again” hat was collared by sheriff’s deputies shortly after fleeing the scene in a white Tesla"
The gun, the MAGA hat, the white Muskrat ride...
like an evil tri-fecta.
Jade, I'm a rancher, lots (lots) older here in New Mexico and I'm voting for Joe Biden (again) in November...
thank you for your strong, young voice. Thank you for choosing democracy.
When Dems stick together, in CA or NM, or anywhere...
Dems win.
Per campaign finance reports filed by Pena w/NMSOS, he received 52 contributions...total. Primary & general.
52 contributions and 3 of them are from frmr Republican candidates for governor?
And a fourth is fm a former Republican St Chair/Nat'l Cmtteman?
Tragic, barbaric position Kate Cox was forced into by Republicans...
I'm just glad, and proud, that New Mexico could provide her the refuge and relief that she so desperately needed.
That's our history.
All our best to you, Kate, and your family.
In her first television interview since the Texas Supreme Court ruled that she did not qualify for an abortion, Kate Cox talks about the risks she & her unborn baby faced, her decision to have an abortion in New Mexico, and more in an interview with

Agree. He stopped "getting away w/it" in 2020.
He got impeached
He blew the coup
He blew the midterms
He got charged 88 times
He got indicted 4 times
He's going to trial April 16
Bush won't endorse him
His Cabinet won't endorse him
His staff won't endorse him
He's knee deep....
Listen to this from hard working all star Rep Melanie Stansbury...

Is this a great state, or what !!!
We just took two votes on two political ploys by the House GOP Leadership to play politics with our national security. Both were voted down. I will not allow extremists to win.

Please watch all the way.
This is news reporting.
Minus the cell phone, it reminds me of watching Cronkite, Sevaride, Harry Reasoner.
Great job, Scott MacFarlane.
Lake Navajo doing its very best to look unattractive on this leaden day here in northwestern New Mexico, but…

New Mexico: We are so much more than oil & gas.
In a few minutes I’m going to ask legislators to support the Oil & Gas Bad Actor bill. Bad oil companies aren’t stopped by paying a fine, and violations are repeated again and again…
let’s untie regulator’s hands and give them the power to stop oil & gas bad actors.
I was early for my first meeting in this building here in Washington, DC today so they let me choose the message.
“Strengthen the BLM Methane Waste Rule” was what I wanted though…
Just how much hate can you pack into one sign?
In the heart of Dinétah (Navajo lands) this area is called Totah - "Where The Three Waters Come Together" by the people who were here...
long, long before white oil & gas men came and began tearing it all apart.
I grew up here too, Mr T**mper, and our ave June temp until 2016 was 85deg.
Today’s 99deg is a record and all the climate science denial in the world isn’t going to change that.

NEW: Swifties are finding themselves more energized than ever after facing attacks from MAGA extremists like Charlie Kirk in the wake of Tuesday's elections. They've now launched a viral movement to register voters and get them to the polls.
As New Mexicans, we believe Fake Hat John’s disbarment should incl that he can’t ever come to our Land of Enchantment again…

Talk abt inspiring women...
Here's a young woman, never been further than West TX, never saw more water than a stock pond...
Enlisted in the Navy to fight facism in WWII, went to Pearl Harbor, staffed the hospital ships...
Became a Lieutenant.
Mom never quit inspiring us all.
There’s no limit to what we as women can accomplish.
This Women’s History Month let’s honor the incredible women who inspire us to keep pushing boundaries.

this morning.
Here's what I heard:
Republicans are trying to take away our most basic freedoms. To live, to love, to protect our children, to save our planet.
Our unified message should be...
"Republican candidates are a threat to us all."
@imaggiejune
No crying in a Climate Crisis, only V O T I N G...
we cannot save this planet if we cannot save democracy. That's what's on the ballot this election.
Republicans will kill our freedom to breathe clean air, to drink clean water, to protect our kids.

working cattle w/one of her favorite horses, Mr T-Bone who was in his 20's then.
When he got too old to work, he lived out his life in her care...
until he was 38 and passed away peacefully as the other ranch horses gathered around him.
We owe it to them.
Kristi Noem on putting down 3 of her family’s horses at the same time:
“We lost 3, but these weren’t just horses. These were our family members. These horses were old. They were in their late, late 20’s.“
Strange how all 3 of them had to be put down at the same time.
Again baffled by the NMxN coverage here.
