In America, when we oppress anyone, we oppress ourselves. It saddens me to see the partisanship and over-politicization around a holiday celebrating countless people finally being freed from slavery - an invaluable part of our nation's history. Jubilee, and happy #Juneteenth

Today, we celebrate the freedom and civil liberties that help every single one of us prosper. Regardless of our divisions and disagreements, we are ALL what make up our incredible country - and that's something to celebrate. Happy #IndependenceDay

Hard to imagine that the #September11 attacks happened 20 years ago. We saw a lot of horror that day - but I remember it bringing us together in a way I haven't seen since. We know how to rise above our differences and stand together in the face of our greatest challenges.

All of us want impaired drivers off the road. That isn't a question. But, the privacy and data collection implications of requiring vehicles to have impairment sensors are just too much.

Inflation may or may not be temporary - time will tell. But that doesn't change that New Mexicans and Americans across the country are feeling the rising prices now.

Yes, there are many #ReasonsToLegalize. 50+% of America agrees. But the politicians? Approx 0% agree. Need new politicians.
