U.S. Senators Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Luján each reflected on the first 100 days of the Donald Trump administration, and both were highly critical of the job the president was doing in his second term.
Both Senators are Democrats and both have been highly critical of Trump and his administration, particularly the Department of Government Efficiency, an initiative pushed by billionaire CEO Elon Musk.
Heinrich mentioned Musk in his statement slamming the president.
“Donald Trump and Elon Musk are tanking our economy, pushing us into a recession, and throwing working families under the bus,” Heinrich said.
Heirnich said that Trump’s administration has raised the cost of “health care, groceries and utilities” and called the tariffs Trump has imposed on countries throughout the world “chaotic.”
These were just two of the parts of a long list of grievances Heinrich had against Trump.
“In his first 100 days, Donald Trump has raised the cost of YOUR health care, groceries, and utilities; slapped a $4,000 tax on YOUR family with his chaotic tariffs; attacked Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare; delayed veteran benefits; undermined our children’s public education; schemed to sell off YOUR public lands; fired wildland firefighters who protect our communities from dangerous wildfires; and unlawfully blocked hundreds of millions of dollars I helped pass into law for working families,” Heinrich said. “Trump is doing all of this to bankroll massive tax handouts for himself, Elon Musk, and billionaire donors.
Luján similarly had a laundry list of problems.
“In just 100 days, President Trump has driven up costs for New Mexicans, attacked essential programs like Social Security, and put our nation’s public health at risk,” he said. “The American people are rejecting the increased costs, chaos, and corruption caused by this administration. I’ve heard from New Mexicans in every corner of our state who are deeply concerned about their livelihoods due to these reckless policies and hateful politics.”
I would like to see the Dems write a bill of particulars for the impeachment of Trump so that the American people can see the width and breadth of the damage he has done and is doing.
Our so called Senators have no idea what’s going on . They have serious cases of TDS. I expect they will fly to El Salvador next . The border is closed, gas is cheaper, I don’t have to buy an electric car, tax cuts for us, no tax on tips , no tax on social security. The only ones losing are the dems. Flip NM Red !!
Can anyone prove that border barriers and controls cost us less than medical care for undocumented residents? Our aging population puts great demands on medical care.
Why blame young willing workers? The US population is largely descended from immigrants.
of course the the worthless so-called senators are going ot sing the rhetoric of the leftist loonies while denying reality. go back under your rocks already !!!!
Charlie, you know better what is happening in the current administration? How is that?
I’m concerned about burgeoning corruption and disregard for the rule of law. Here is what I’ve been reading that concerns me: 1) illegally firing of over a dozen Inspector Generals – whose job it is to root out fraud, waste, and corruption in government. Many of them had active investigations into potential fraud and waste in contracts with Elon Musk’s companies. 2) gutting the IRS, shortly after they staffed up both with people to answer the phone and with experts capable of analyzing the legality of complicated tax returns. Like those filed by the very wealthy. 3) Tariffs are another form of tax and they are regressive. So the true burden on low wage earners will actually be going up, not down. Not to mention as deployed they are a form of taxation without representation. 4) disregarding even Supreme Court directives.
By casting a vote, THE VOTERS agreed to give power to represent us in our government.
VOTERS gave an individual, Trump, power in a CIVIL CONTRACT which had conditions! It’s VOID. HE VOIDED it by his illegal and unconstitutional acts.
Donald TRUMP was CONTRACTED to ACT as President for 4 years WITH IN the Constitution and our laws. It is a CIVIL CONTRACT – not with government.
The OATH OF OFFICE was sworn to THE VOTERS who elected him, not to Congress. THIS WAS A CIVIL CONTRACT.
Trump has violated that CONTRACT.
By TRUMP’S actions, THE CONTRACT he took an Oath of Office with VOTERS is no longer in effect! It is void. We must have a Special Election & elect a President.
We can RETAKE and RESET Our Democracy.
#1. Past Presidents or another leader like the Gov of Illinois, act for The Voters & Declare that THIS CIVIL CONTRACT with DJ Trump is VOID.
#2. Declare All of the actions of Trump acting as President And his Administration as having broken THE CIVIL CONTRACT and charge them with violating his Oath Of Office to us.
#3. Set a date for an Emergency Special Election for new Presidential and all Congressional positions in both The House & Senate While Mandating caps on Special Election campaign spending regardless of source. [ I suggest Special Elections on JULY 1 with inauguration on JULY, 4 2025!! ] We can call a Special Election for All Congress to avoid partisan problems.
# 4. Have the Pre-Trump appointed Military Commander remove and hold Trump and his Administrative heads for trial. The PREVIOUS Commander of the military has sworn to uphold The Constitution & we have confidence in him. –Consider co-conspiritors of the Soft Coup by colluding with Trump and lying to Americans.
#5. All ACTIONS by Trump are null and restore the Federal Government status as it was on January 5, 2025. This includes all policies and financial actions, including reinstating previous personnel and agencies (except the offices of President,VP, and Speaker of the House and ALL those appointed by Trump.
#6. No new laws be passed by Congress until after the Special Election. Issue all actions after Jan 6, 2025 be Reset as they existed on January 1, 2025. Declare this clearly, publically. Invite previous & illegally fired workers, government institutions, and agents to act accordingly with haste to repair our agencies & institutions. Notify other Countries of this ongoing change & restore diplomacy.
#7. Establish a weekly news conference to keep Americans informed.
#8. Set up a Special Government/Private Commission for guidance and actions to restore our America.
****Maybe the Governor of Illinois or A Group of former President’s, and respected leaders could represent us & start this process. ********
WE CAN remove this
TREASON’ and restore an injured government.
Yes, we can do it to Restore & Retake our Democracy & AMERICA.
We can UN-PRESIDENT TRUMP!
