07.08.2025 13:34 โ ๐ 9 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0One of the reasons NM relies heavily on federal funding is because so much of the state is federal land and federal facilities--from national laboratories and four huge military bases, to enormous swaths of forests and federally-owned land. On top of that, we're also around 12 percent tribal.

(And to those in the comments going, "HURHURHUR New Mexico, you get what you voted for!" . . . NM went for Clinton in 2016, Biden in 2020, and Harris in 2024.)

Bear with me, then, as in this video I will explain at length, as well as with constant digressions, giggling, and---wait, where are you going?
I expect Trump to report this as a Mamdani campaign contribution.

Wait. No. Please.
We only have three seats here in New Mexico, but we did it already several years ago to make sure we held onto NM-2.
