Martin Heinrich
@martinheinrich· Democratic · NM· Aug 7, 2026

I think today, unfortunately, we are not finding that balance. We are not moving forward on legislation from many of my colleagues that would conserve public lands in their states in the way that their communities would like to see.

Martin Heinrich
@martinheinrich· Democratic · NM· Aug 7, 2026

But that work cannot be one-sided—only advancing bills that remove protections, and not those that add them.

Martin Heinrich
@martinheinrich· Democratic · NM· Aug 7, 2026

At a time when energy prices are skyrocketing, this administration should be focused on making energy affordable and increasing grid capacity — not hamstringing a program that has consistently reduced bills for American families.

Ben Ray Luján
@benraylujn· Democratic · NM· Aug 7, 2026

These cherished lands and waters must be protected for future generations. That is why I’m leading this legislation to permanently withdraw the Chama Watershed from mineral development.

Martin Heinrich
@martinheinrich· Democratic · NM· Aug 7, 2026

We will not allow a foreign mining company to threaten the Chama Watershed with radioactive uranium waste. That is unacceptable.

Tammy Duckworth
@tammyduckworth· Democratic · IL· Aug 7, 2026

Trump’s ‘public charge’ rule is a yet another cruel, un-American assault on immigrants and their families.

Tim Kaine
@timkaine· Democratic · VA· Aug 7, 2026

We don’t have to imagine the negative consequences this policy will have on the health and well-being of our communities, because when President Trump previously instituted a similar policy, it led to widespread avoidance of medical care…

Michael Bennet
@michaelbennet· Democratic · CO· Aug 7, 2026

This rule isn’t about securing our borders or more efficient spending, its purpose is to punish immigrants who only seek to make a better life for themselves and their families.

Mazie K. Hirono
@maziekhirono· HI· Aug 7, 2026

By removing any guidance for what qualifies as ‘public charge’ the Trump Regime’s rule creates fear and prevents immigrants and their families from accessing services they need—even if they are still entitled to them.

I think the question that the American people have is when the difficult decision comes, because I don't think diplomacy is necessarily working.

“The robotics revolution is here. To compete with China and keep workers from being left behind, we need better data and coordination to set smart standards,” said Hickenlooper.
