Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)

Today, I voted YES to release the names of Members of Congress who used taxpayer dollars to settle sexual misconduct and other misconduct cases in Congress.

No more abuses of power and no more hiding behind a system that shields perpetrators. We will always fight for justice for survivors—period.

Dozens of other innocent lives.

These deaths aren’t mistakes. They’re the result of choices. Policy choices. Funding choices. Choices to not hold this Administration accountable.

It’s time to SHUT. IT. DOWN!

Anyone else find it suspicious that the White House is releasing a bunch of “newly discovered” findings concerning the 2020 election weeks after they conducted mass firings of career intelligence officers? 🙋‍♀️

On Birthright Citizenship:

“The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery.”

-Justice Ketanji Brown 💅💕

This should never have even been up for debate. If you are born in America, you’re an American. Period. 🇺🇸

You better believe we will take back the House, we will issue subpoenas, and we will continue to fight for justice. Full stop.

Once again, we have passed a War Powers Resolution to END THIS ILLEGAL WAR!

No more lives lost.
No more taxpayer dollars wasted.
No more laws broken.

The House has spoken: 214-208. Now will our colleagues in the Senate across the aisle ACT to stand with us to end this war NOW!?

The Smithsonian does not belong to the President or a political party. It BELONGS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

We will not let them rewrite our history! We will fight back in Congress, the Courts, and in our Communities because this is OUR story!

-SAVE Act attached to a Stock Trading bill
-The Epstein Investigation
-Assaults on our public lands, monuments & Smithsonian
-Standing with teachers & tribal leaders

+so much more…here’s what’s on tap ⬇️

Two more American service members’ lives have been lost in a war that never should have happened. My heart & prayers are with their families, loved ones, & all those still missing & injured. 💔

It is long past due for my colleagues across the aisle to stand up and stop this war and end the violence!

This is one of the dumbest & most bizarre Executive Orders we have ever read.

This EO is a clear political overreach, driven by an ideological agenda to rewrite American history. Our Smithsonian institutions do not belong to the President, but to the American people & so does our nation’s history.

Restoring Trust in the Smithsonian Institution

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Policy. On

I went to the Great American State Fair this weekend…and it really was as empty as reported.

**And where did the rest of our taxpayer dollars go?

These ladies held it together this session. Thank you! 🙏

A big day for votes here in the House—NDAA, the SAVE Act, and Budget Reconciliation bill all voted on today. Of course, it’s been a mess. Here’s the latest on what is going on: ⬇️

This November we have to vote like the future of our democracy depends on it.

Because, it does—including here in New Mexico!

Lebanon. Gaza. The West Bank.

We cannot allow American taxpayer dollars to continue to fund the killing of children and civilians abroad. The violence must stop.

Why is it that there is always money for bombs but not for healthcare and basic needs?

It’s our generation’s call to make universal healthcare a reality. We’re we're not backing down! #HealthcareIsAHumanRight

Rep. Stansbury: Healthcare is a human right - we must pass universal healthcare!

People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents are afraid to take their kids to school. Families are afraid go shopping.

This cannot go on. We cannot allow this country to become a surveillance state. We must hold this Administration accountable.

Our Epstein investigation continues today, with a transcribed interview with a key banking executive associated Epstein for years.

This is why Todd Blanche cannot be confirmed as Attorney General. And, this is why when we are back in the majority, these witnesses must be under oath!

Where DID this bill to take away DC's sovereignty and control over its budget come from??? 🤔

That is the real question.

Rep. Stansbury: Who is trying to take over DC? #FREEDC

Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Period.

And, yet he STILL cannot accept the facts. Tonight he’s poised to address the nation with a replay of his greatest election denialism hits.
